 1. Provisions Relating to Preferred Stock. 

(a) Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each series to have such designations and
powers, preferences and rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as are stated and expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board as hereafter prescribed (a
“Preferred Stock Designation”). 
 (b) Authority is hereby expressly granted to and vested in the Board to authorize the
issuance of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more classes or series, and with respect to each series of Preferred Stock, to fix and state by the resolution or resolutions from time to time adopted by the Board providing for the issuance
thereof the designation and the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to each series of Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to, the following: 

(i) whether or not the series is to have voting rights, full, special or limited, or is to be without voting rights, and whether or not such
series is to be entitled to vote as a separate class either alone or together with the holders of one or more other classes or series of stock; 

(ii) the number of shares to constitute the series and the designations thereof; 

(iii) the preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, if any, with respect to any series; 
 (iv) whether or not the shares of any series shall be redeemable at the option
of the Corporation or the holders thereof or upon the happening of any specified event, and, if redeemable, the redemption price or prices (which may be payable in the form of cash, notes, securities or other property), and the time or times at
which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such shares shall be redeemable and the manner of redemption; 
 (v) whether or not the

thereof, and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof; 
 (vi) the dividend rate, whether dividends are payable in cash,

not such dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative, and if cumulative, the date or dates from which such dividends shall accumulate; 

(vii) the preferences, if any, and the amounts thereof which the holders of any series thereof shall be entitled to receive upon the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation; 

  
 2 

 (viii) whether or not the shares of any series, at the option of the Corporation or the holder
thereof or upon the happening of any specified event, shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, the shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock, securities or other property of
the Corporation and the conversion price or prices or ratio or ratios or the rate or rates at which such exchange may be made, with such adjustments, if any, as shall be stated and expressed or provided for in such resolution or resolutions; and

seem advisable. 
 (c) The shares of each series of Preferred Stock may vary from the shares of any other series thereof in any or all of
the foregoing respects. 
 2. Provisions Relating to Common Stock. 

(a) Except as may otherwise be provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Common Stock shall have
identical rights and privileges in every respect. Common Stock shall be subject to the express terms of Preferred Stock and any series thereof. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in a
Preferred Stock Designation or by applicable law, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share upon all questions presented to the stockholders, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have the
exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes, and the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders. Each holder of Common Stock shall be
entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect at the time in question) and applicable law on all matters put to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise
required in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, the holders of Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the
holders of Common Stock, the holders of Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class). 
 (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations
relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other
such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL. 

(c) Subject to the prior rights and preferences, if any, applicable to shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares
of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by them such dividends and distributions (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), if any, as may be declared
thereon by the Board at any time and from time to time out of any funds of the 

  
 3 

 
Corporation legally available therefor. Dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock unless (i) the dividend consists of shares of Class B
Common Stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock and (ii) a
dividend consisting of shares of Class A Common Stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock on equivalent terms is simultaneously paid to the
holders of Class A Common Stock. If dividends are declared on the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock that are payable in shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock,
the dividends payable to the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock), the dividends payable to the
holders of Class B Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class B Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock), and such dividends shall be paid in the same number of shares (or
fraction thereof) on a per share basis of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a per share basis
of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively). In no event shall the shares of either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock be split, divided, or combined unless the outstanding shares of the other class shall
be proportionately split, divided or combined. 
 (d) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all
of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by them. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall not be
entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation. A dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation, as such terms are
used in this paragraph (d), shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations or other entity or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or a
part of the assets of the Corporation 
 (e) Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement of Spark HoldCo, LLC dated as of August 1, 2014, (the “LLC Agreement”). The Corporation will at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock pursuant to the LLC
Agreement, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issuable upon any such exchange pursuant to the LLC Agreement; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying its
obligations in respect of any such exchange of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the LLC Agreement by delivering to the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock upon such exchange, cash in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock in the
amount permitted by and 

  
 4 

 
provided in the LLC Agreement or shares of Class A Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Corporation. All shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issued upon any such
exchange will, upon issuance in accordance with the LLC Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. All shares of Class B Common Stock exchanged shall be cancelled. 

(f) The number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares
thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or
any successor provision thereto), and no vote of the holders of either Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor. 

(g) No stockholder shall, by reason of the holding of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, have any preemptive
or preferential right to acquire or subscribe for any shares or securities of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized, which may at any time be issued, sold or offered for sale by the Corporation, unless specifically provided for in the terms
of a series of Preferred Stock. 
 FIFTH: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the
Board. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock specified in the related Preferred Stock Designation, shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into
three classes, as nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible, with the initial term of office of the first class to expire at the 2015 annual meeting (the “Class I Directors”), the initial term of office of the second class to
expire at the 2016 annual meeting (the “Class II Directors”), and the initial term of office of the third class to expire at the 2017 annual meeting (the “Class III Directors”), with each director to hold office
until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding
annual meeting of stockholders after their election, with each director to hold office until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or
Class III at the time such classification becomes effective. Subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any
vacancy on the Board that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in
office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for the remaining
term of his predecessor. No decrease in the number of authorized directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. 

Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional directors pursuant to this
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation thereunder), any director may be removed, with or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
66 2⁄3% of the outstanding 

  
 5 

 
shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, acting at a meeting of the stockholders or by written consent (if permitted) in accordance with the
DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the bylaws of the Corporation. 
 Subject to the rights of the holders of
any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, if any, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. Unless and except to the extent
that the bylaws of the Corporation so provide, the election of directors need not be by written ballot. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of directors. 

SIXTH: Prior to the first date (the “Trigger Date”) upon which W. Keith Maxwell III no longer beneficially owns in the
aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any annual meeting or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, is or are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
On and after the Trigger Date, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be taken at a duly held annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by any consent in writing of such
stockholders. 
 SEVENTH: Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock,
special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors that the Corporation would
have if there were no vacancies; provided, however, that prior to the Trigger Date, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of record of more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. On and after the Trigger Date, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the stockholders of the Corporation do not have the power to call a special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation. 
 EIGHTH: In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by the laws of the State of
Delaware, the Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation without any action on the part of the stockholders of the Corporation; provided that any bylaw adopted or amended by the Board, and any powers
thereby conferred, may be amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation by the vote of holders of not less than 66 2⁄3% in voting power
of the then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. No bylaws hereafter made or adopted, nor any repeal of or amendment thereto, shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that was valid at the time
it was taken. 
 NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as it now 

  
 6 

 
exists. In addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable
to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment to the DGCL hereafter enacted that further limits the liability of a director. 
 Any
amendment, repeal or modification of this Article Ninth shall be prospective only and shall not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions occurring prior to the date of such amendment, repeal or modification. 

TENTH: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or
expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunities that are from time to time presented to NuDevco Partners, LLC, NuDevco Partners Holdings, LLC and W. Keith
Maxwell III (collectively, the “Sponsors”) or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective agents, shareholders, members, partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates or subsidiaries (other than the
Corporation and its subsidiaries), including any director or officer of the Corporation who is also an agent, shareholder, member, partner, director, officer, employee, affiliate or subsidiary of any Sponsor (each, a “Business Opportunities
Exempt Party”), even if the business opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and no Business
Opportunities Exempt Party shall have any duty to communicate or offer any such business opportunity to the Corporation or be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any stockholder, including for breach of any fiduciary or other
duty, as a director or officer or controlling stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation shall indemnify each Business Opportunities Exempt Party against any claim that such person is liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of
any fiduciary duty, by reason of the fact that such person (i) participates in, pursues or acquires any such business opportunity, (ii) directs any such business opportunity to another person or (iii) fails to present any such
business opportunity, or information regarding any such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, unless, in the case of a person who is a director or officer of the Corporation, such business opportunity is expressly offered to
such director or officer in writing solely in his capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation. 
 Neither the amendment nor repeal
of this Article Tenth, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any modification of law, shall eliminate,
reduce or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or
modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed). 

If any provision or provisions of this Article Tenth shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for
any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article Tenth (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this
Article Tenth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself 

  
 7 

 
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article Tenth (including,
without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article Tenth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees
and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

This Article Tenth shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or
officer of the Corporation under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation or applicable law. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any securities of the Corporation shall
be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article Tenth. 
 ELEVENTH: Prior to the first date (the
“Section 203 Trigger Date”) upon which W. Keith Maxwell III no longer beneficially owns in the aggregate more than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, the provisions of Section 203 of
the DGCL shall not be applicable to the Corporation. On and after the Section 203 Trigger Date, the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL shall be applicable to the Corporation. 

TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by applicable law, and all rights and
powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation. 

THIRTEENTH: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation
(and in addition to any other vote that may be required by applicable law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
66 2⁄3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required to
amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 
 FOURTEENTH: Unless the Corporation
consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding
brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any
action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation’s bylaws,
or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each 

  
 8 

 
such case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any
interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Fourteenth.

 AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS 

OF 
 SPARK ENERGY, INC.

 Incorporated under the Laws of the State of Delaware 

Date of Adoption: [—], 2014 

 
  

ARTICLE I 
 OFFICES AND
RECORDS 
 SECTION 1.1. Registered Office. The registered office of Spark Energy, Inc. (the “Corporation”) in
the State of Delaware shall be located at 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, and the name of the Corporation’s registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Company. The registered office and
registered agent of the Corporation may be changed from time to time by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) in the manner provided by applicable law. 

SECTION 1.2. Other Offices. The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board
may designate or as the business of the Corporation may from time to time require. 
 SECTION 1.3. Books and Records. The books and
records of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Board. 

ARTICLE II 
 STOCKHOLDERS

 SECTION 2.1. Annual Meeting. If required by applicable law, an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be
held at such date, time and place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time as may be fixed by resolution of the Board. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The Board may postpone, reschedule or
cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board. 
 SECTION 2.2. Special Meeting. Except as otherwise
required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”), special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chief Executive
Officer, the Chairman of the Board or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies; provided, however, that prior to the first date (the
“Trigger Date”) upon which W. Keith Maxwell III no longer beneficially owns in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.01 per share
(the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.01 

 
per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), special meetings of the stockholders of the
Corporation may also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of record of 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. On and after the Trigger Date, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of
Preferred Stock, the stockholders of the Corporation do not have the power to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of the stockholders previously scheduled by the
Board. 
 SECTION 2.3. Record Date. 

(A) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof,
the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, not be more than 60 nor
less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record
date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote
at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the
adjourned meeting. 
 (B) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall
be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. 
 (C) Unless otherwise restricted by the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more
than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board,
(i) when no prior action of the Board is required by applicable law, the record date 

  
 2 

 
for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable
law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action. 

SECTION 2.4. Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every
meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the date of the
meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of
each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at
least ten days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the
principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held
solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list
shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine the list required by
this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders. 
 SECTION 2.5. Place of Meeting. The Board, the
Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of the stockholders. If no designation is so made, the place of meeting shall be the
principal executive offices of the Corporation. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and any
other applicable law for the participation by stockholders and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place but will be held solely by
means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present in person and entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication. 
 SECTION 2.6. Notice
of Meeting. Written or printed notice, stating the place, if any, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten days nor more than 60 days before the date of the
meeting, in a manner pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify (i) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if
such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the 

  
 3 

 
meeting), (ii) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (iii) the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in
person and vote at such meeting, (iv) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called and (v) such other information as may be required by applicable law or as may be deemed appropriate by the
Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation. If the stockholder list referred to in Section 2.4 of these Bylaws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting
must indicate how the stockholder list can be accessed. If the meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of electronic communications, the notice of meeting must provide the information required to access such stockholder list during the
meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. The
Corporation may provide stockholders with notice of a meeting by electronic transmission provided such stockholders have consented to receiving electronic notice in accordance with the DGCL. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by
applicable law. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are
present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with Section 7.4 of these Bylaws. 
 SECTION 2.7. Quorum
and Adjournment of Meetings. 
 (A) Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting (the “Voting Stock”), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except that when
specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. The
chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum. The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. 
 (B) Any meeting
of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the
Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. 
 SECTION 2.8. Proxies. At all
meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing (or in such other manner prescribed by the DGCL) by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable
reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original

  
 4 

 
writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or
transmission. No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it unless the
proxy states that it is irrevocable and applicable law makes it irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by
filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. 
 SECTION 2.9. Notice of Stockholder
Business and Nominations. 
 (A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. 

(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders at
an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (c) by any stockholder of the
Corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures
set forth in these Bylaws as to such business or nomination; Section 2.9(A)(1)(c) of these Bylaws shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule
14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of the stockholders. 

(2) For any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to
Section 2.9(A)(1)(c) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action under the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on
the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual
meeting (which anniversary, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the close of the Corporation’s initial public offering, shall be deemed to be May 1, 2015); provided, however, that in the event
that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting
or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement
of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s

  
 5 

 
notice as described above. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this Section 2.9(A)(2) or Section 2.9(B)) to the Secretary of the
Corporation must: 
 (a) set forth, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (ii) (A) the class or series and number of shares of the
Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or
conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether
or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”), directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder and
any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) a description of any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship
pursuant to which such stockholder has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any short interest in any security of the Corporation (for purposes of these Bylaws a person shall be deemed to have a “short
interest” in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the
subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares
of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and
(G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice,
including without limitation any such interests held by members of such stockholder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than ten days
after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), (iii) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other
filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, (iv) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring such nomination or

  
 6 

 
other business before the meeting, and (v) a representation as to whether such stockholder or any such beneficial owner intends or is part of a group that intends to (x) deliver a proxy
statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or to elect each such nominee or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from
stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. If requested by the Corporation, the information required under clauses (a)(i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence of this Section 2.9(A)(2) shall be supplemented by such
stockholder and any such beneficial owner not later than ten days after the record date for notice of the meeting to disclose such information as of such record date; 

(b) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to
bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if
any, in such business and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of
such business by such stockholder; 
 (c) set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate
for election or reelection to the Board (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of
directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as
a director if elected) and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among
such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in
concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on
whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such
registrant; and 
 (d) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board, include a completed and signed
questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may 

  
 7 

 
reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable
stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. 
 (3) Notwithstanding anything in
the second sentence of Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees
for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by these Bylaws shall also be considered timely, but only
with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation. 

(4) The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.9(A) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with
respect to business or a nomination if such stockholder has notified the Corporation of his intention to present a proposal or make a nomination at an annual meeting in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the
Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal or nomination has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. 

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. 

Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the
Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to a notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board
or any committee thereof or (b) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice
provided for in these Bylaws and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws. In the event a special meeting of stockholders is called
for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the
stockholder’s notice required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these Bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(A)(2) of these
Bylaws) shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than
100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the
Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. 

  
 8 

 (C) General. 

(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws shall be eligible to serve
as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. 

(2) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by
Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press, or any other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, a stockholder
shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the
Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.9(A)(1)(c) or
Section 2.9(B) of these Bylaws. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange
Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock if and to the extent provided for under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. 

(4) The Corporation may require any proposed stockholder nominee for director to furnish such other information as it may
reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or
proposal under this Section 2.9 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be,
notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.9, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer,
manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person
must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of
stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or
no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations
or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the presiding person of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and
procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies
or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by
participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter
or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be
transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. 

SECTION 2.11. Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified
circumstances, at any meeting at which directors are to be elected, so long as a quorum is present, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes validly cast in such election. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation, or
these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors and certain non-binding advisory votes described below, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote
on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders. In non-binding advisory matters with more than two possible vote choices, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to
vote on the matter shall be the recommendation of the stockholders. 
 SECTION 2.12. Treasury Stock. The Corporation shall not vote,
directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it or any other corporation, if a majority of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such corporation is held, directly or indirectly by the Corporation, and such shares will
not be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or such other corporation, to vote stock of the Corporation held in a fiduciary capacity.

 SECTION 2.13. Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls. At any meeting at
which a vote is taken by ballots, the Board by resolution may, and when required by applicable law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities,
including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who
fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders and the appointment of an inspector is required by applicable law, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors
to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall have the duties
prescribed by applicable law.

rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual meeting or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is or are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that
would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. On and after the Trigger Date, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation
must be taken at a duly held annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by any consent in writing of such stockholders.

 STOCK
CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFERS

shall be evidenced by certificates for shares of stock in such form as the appropriate officers of the Corporation may from time to time prescribe, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or
all classes or series of its stock may be uncertificated or electronic shares. The shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder’s name and number of
shares. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, which may be maintained by a third-party registrar or transfer agent, by the
holder thereof in person or by his attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for at least the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the
authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require or upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of uncertificated shares and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for
transferring shares in uncertificated form, at which time the Corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto (if the stock is then represented by certificates), cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its
books. 

  
 16 

 Each certificated share of stock shall be signed, countersigned and registered in such manner as
the Board may by resolution prescribe, which resolution may permit all or any of the signatures on such certificates to be in facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 SECTION 6.2. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. No certificate for shares or uncertificated shares of stock in the
Corporation shall be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen, except on production of such evidence of such loss, destruction or theft and on delivery to the Corporation of a bond of indemnity in such

 SECTION 7.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any stockholder or director of the
Corporation under the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, including by electronic transmission, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the
time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders or the Board or committee thereof need be specified in any
waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 
 SECTION 7.5. Resignations. Any director or any
officer, whether elected or appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice, including by electronic transmission, of such resignation to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary, and such
resignation shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the date said notice is received by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary, or at such later time as is specified therein. No
formal action shall be required of the Board or the stockholders to make any such resignation effective. 
 SECTION 7.6. Indemnification and
Advancement of Expenses. 
 (A) The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the
Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan (a “Covered Person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer,
employee or agent, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered
Person in connection with such proceeding. 
 (B) The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law as it
presently exists or may hereafter be amended, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that to the extent required by
applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the
Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.6 or otherwise. 

  
 18 

 (C) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Section 7.6
shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7.6, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. 
 (D) If a claim for
indemnification under this Section 7.6 (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within 60 days after the Corporation has received a claim therefor by the Covered Person, or if a claim for any advancement
of expenses under this Section 7.6 is not paid in full within 30 days after the Corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to
file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In any such action, the
Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. 

(E) The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 7.6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered
Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. 

(F) This Section 7.6 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, to
indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action. 
 (G) Any
Covered Person entitled to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses, in each case pursuant to this Section 7.6, may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement and/or insurance provided by one or more persons with whom or
which such Covered Person may be associated. The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Corporation shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of
this Section 7.6, (ii) the Corporation shall be primarily liable for all such obligations and any indemnification afforded to a Covered Person in respect of a proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this
Section 7.6, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract or otherwise, (iii) any obligation of any persons with whom or which a Covered Person may be associated to indemnify such Covered Person and/or
advance expenses or liabilities to such Covered Person in respect of any proceeding shall be secondary to the obligations of the Corporation hereunder, (iv) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify each Covered Person and advance expenses
to each Covered Person hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights such Covered Person may have against any other person with whom or which such Covered Person 

  
 19 

 
may be associated or insurer of any such person, and (v) the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any other person with whom or which a Covered Person may be associated
from any claim of contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the Corporation hereunder. 

SECTION 7.7. Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or required by applicable law, all notices required to be given

forfeiture of any unvested shares of Class A Stock) unless simultaneously the Company redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires from SEI an equal number of Units for the same price per security or (ii) any other Equity Securities of SEI
unless simultaneously the Company redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires from SEI an equal number of Equity Securities of the Company of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including
distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of SEI for the same price per security. Except pursuant to Section 3.7, the Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (A) any
Units from SEI or any of its Subsidiaries unless simultaneously SEI or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires an equal number of shares of Class A Stock for the same price per security from holders thereof, or (B) any
other Equity Securities of the Company from SEI or any of its Subsidiaries unless simultaneously SEI or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires for the same price per security an equal number of Equity Securities of SEI of a

shall be effectuated in an equivalent manner. 
 (g) The Company shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any stock split, stock
dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Units unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as
applicable, of the outstanding SEI Common Stock, with corresponding changes made with respect 

  
 11 

 
to any other exchangeable or convertible securities. SEI shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or
combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding SEI Common Stock unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Units, with corresponding
changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible securities.

or interests convertible or exchangeable for Units or other Equity Securities in the Company; provided that, at any time following the date hereof, in each case the Company shall not issue Equity Securities in the Company to any Person unless such

in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Exchange Date”). If the Company has not made a valid Cash Election, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A
Stock (which certificates shall bear any legends as may be required in accordance with applicable Law) shall be issuable upon such Exchange as aforesaid shall be deemed to have become, on the Exchange Date, the holder or holders of record of the
shares represented thereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless the Company has made a valid Cash Election, any Exchanging Member may withdraw or amend an Exchange request, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the
applicable Exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Houston time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the
Company, SEI or the Transfer Agent, specifying (1) the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Units (if any) and shares of Class B Stock, (2) if any, the number of Units and shares of Class B Stock as to which the Exchange Notice remains in
effect and (3) if the Exchanging Member so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in an Exchange Notice. An Exchange Notice may specify that the Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing)
upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of the shares of Class A Stock into which the Units and shares of Class B Stock are exchangeable, or contingent
(including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the shares of Class A Stock would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other
securities or property, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Exchange with respect to which the Company has made a valid Cash Election. 

(d) If (i) there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction pursuant to which the shares of
Class A Stock are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, or (ii) SEI shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the shares of Class A Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets,
including securities (including shares of Class A Stock and any rights, options or warrants to all holders of the shares of Class A Stock to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire shares of Class A Stock, or other
securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Class A Stock) but excluding any cash dividend or distribution as well as any such distribution of indebtedness or assets received by SEI from the Company in
respect of the Units, then upon any subsequent Exchange, in addition to the shares of Class A Stock or the Cash Election Amount, as applicable, each Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property
that such Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, other similar transaction dividend or other distribution, taking into account any
adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination 

  
 14 

 
(by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization,
recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the shares of Class A Stock are converted or changed into
another security, securities or other property, or any dividend or distribution (other than an excluded dividend or distribution, as described above), this Section 3.7 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to
such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to the Units held by the Members and their Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Units hereafter acquired by a Member and his or her or its Permitted Transferees. 

(e) SEI shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of shares of Class A Stock
that shall be issuable upon the Exchange of all such outstanding Units and shares of Class B Stock; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude SEI from satisfying its obligations with respect of an Exchange by delivery of
shares of Class A Stock that are held in the treasury of SEI. SEI covenants that all shares of Class A Stock that shall be issued upon an Exchange shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition,
for so long as the shares of Class A Stock are listed on a National Securities Exchange, SEI shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all shares of Class A Stock issued upon an Exchange to be listed on such National
Securities Exchange at the time of such issuance. 
 (f) The issuance of shares of Class A Stock upon an Exchange shall be made without
charge to the Exchanging Member for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the Exchanging Member, then the Person or Persons in
whose name the shares are to be issued shall pay to SEI the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of SEI that such tax has been paid or is not payable. 

(g) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, but subject to Section 3.7(h), an Exchanging
Member shall be deemed to have offered to sell its Units and shares of Class B Stock as described in the Exchange Notice to SEI, and SEI may, in its sole discretion, by means of delivery of Call Election Notices and/or Revocation Notices in
accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 3.7(g), elect to purchase directly and acquire such Units and shares of Class B Stock on the Exchange Date by paying to the Exchanging Member (or, on the Exchanging Member’s
written order, its designee) that number of shares of Class A Stock the Exchanging Member (or its designee) would otherwise receive pursuant to Section 3.7(a) or, at SEI’s election, an amount of cash equal to the Cash Election
Amount of such shares of Class A Stock (the “Call Right”), whereupon SEI shall acquire the Units and shares of Class B Stock offered for exchange by the Exchanging Member and shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as the owner of such Units and shares of Class B Stock. In the event SEI shall exercise the Call Right, each of the Exchanging Member, the Company and SEI, as the case may be, shall treat the transaction between the Company and the
Exchanging Member for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Member’s Units and shares of Class B Stock to SEI. 

(ii) SEI may at any time in its sole discretion deliver written notice (a “Call Election Notice”) to
each other Member setting forth its election to exercise its Call Right as contemplated by Section 3.7(g) with respect to future Exchanges (without needing to provide further notice of its intention to exercise its Call Right). Subject
to the remainder of this Section 3.7(g)(ii), a Call Election Notice will be effective until SEI amends its Call Election Notice with a superseding Call Election Notice or revokes such Call Election Notice by delivery of a written notice
of revocation delivered to each other Member or, with respect to a particular Exchange, the Company exercises its Cash Election (a “Revocation Notice”). A Call Election Notice may be amended or revoked by SEI at any time;
provided that any Exchange Notice delivered by a Member will not, without such Member’s written consent, be affected by the subsequent delivery of a Revocation Notice or by an Exchange Notice that is not effective until after the Exchange Date.
Following delivery of a Revocation Notice, SEI may deliver a new Call Election Notice pursuant to this Section 3.7(g). Any amendment of a Call Election Notice will not be effective until the Business Day after its delivery to each Member
(other than SEI). Each Call Election Notice shall specify the date from which it shall be effective (which shall be no earlier than the Business Day after delivery). 

(h) In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to
shares of Class A Stock (an “SEI Offer”) is proposed by SEI or is proposed to 

  
 15 

 
SEI or its stockholders and approved by the board of directors of SEI or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of SEI, the Members (other
than SEI) shall be permitted to participate in such SEI Offer by delivery of a contingent Exchange Notice in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.7(c). In the case of an SEI Offer proposed by SEI, SEI will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Members to participate in such SEI Offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of
Members without discrimination; provided that, without limiting the generality of this sentence, SEI will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Members may participate in each such SEI Offer without being required to exchange
Units and shares of Class B Stock (or, if so required, to ensure that any such Exchange shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such SEI Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to SEI Offer in
accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.7(c), or, as applicable, to the extent necessary to exchange the number of Units and shares of Class B Stock being repurchased). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Members (other
than SEI) be entitled to receive in such SEI Offer aggregate consideration for each Unit and corresponding share of Class B Stock that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Stock in connection with an SEI
Offer. 
 (i) No Exchange shall impair the right of the Exchanging Member to receive any distributions payable on the Units so exchanged in
respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchanging Member, or a Person designated by an Exchanging Member to receive shares of Class A Stock, shall be entitled to
receive, with respect to the same fiscal quarter, distributions or dividends both on Units exchanged by such Exchanging Member and on shares of Class A Stock received by such Exchanging Member, or other Person so designated, if applicable, in
such Exchange. 
 ARTICLE IV 

ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 

Section 4.1 Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the allocations under Section 4.2, Profits and Losses
(and, to the extent determined by the Managing Member to be necessary and appropriate to achieve the resulting Capital Account balances described below, any allocable items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit includable in the computation of
Profits and Losses) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 4.2 and all distributions through the end of
such Fiscal Year, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the amount such Member would receive pursuant to Section 10.3(b) if all assets of the
Company on hand at the end of such Fiscal Year were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the
Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and all remaining or resulting cash was distributed, in accordance with Section 10.3(b), to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such
Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. 

Section 4.2 Special Allocations. 

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in the manner excess nonrecourse liabilities of the
Company are allocated pursuant to Section 4.4(c). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year shall equal the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Company Minimum Gain during that Fiscal Year over the
aggregate amount of any distributions during that Fiscal Year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(d). 
 (b) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears
economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss
for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the economic risk of loss. This
Section 4.2(b) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

  
 16 

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a net
decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the
Members under this Section 4.2(c), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year
(as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This section is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Section 4.2(c), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain
during any Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this
Section 4.2(d)), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This section is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 4.2(c) and Section 4.2(d), in the event any
Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata
portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Fiscal Year) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of that Member as quickly as
possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article
IV have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.2(e) were not in this Agreement. This Section 4.2(e) is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and
shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (f) If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year
that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount that such Member is obligated to restore and (ii) the amount that the Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treasury Regulations Sections
1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5), that Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2(f) shall be made only if
and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been made as if Section 4.2(e) and this
Section 4.2(f) were not in this Agreement. 
 (g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset
pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a
distribution to any Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss
(if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such item of gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) if such section applies or to the Member to whom such
distribution was made if Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 
 (h) For the proper administration of the
Company, the Managing Member may (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction,
Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss; and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code. The
General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 4.4(h) only if such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on any
holder of Units. 

  
 17 

 (i) The allocations set forth in Sections 4.2(a) through 4.2(g) (the
“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory
Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations (and anticipated future Regulatory Allocations) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of
such allocation of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member should be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. This Section 4.2(h) is
intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. 

Section 4.3 Allocations for Tax Purposes in General. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal
income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such item is allocated under Sections 4.1 and 4.2. 

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including the Treasury Regulations applying the
principles of Code Section 704(c) to changes in Gross Asset Values), items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company property having a Gross Asset Value that differs from such property’s adjusted U.S. federal income
tax basis shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members to account for any such difference using the “traditional method with curative allocations,” with the curative allocations applied only to sale
gain under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) or such other method or methods as determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations. 

(c) Any (i) recapture of depreciation or any other item of deduction shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections
1.1245-1(e) and 1.1254-5, to the Members who received the benefit of such deductions (taking into account the effect of remedial allocations), and (ii) recapture of grants credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with applicable
law. 
 (d) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not
affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 4.4 Other Allocation Rules. 

(a) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and the economic impact of the
allocations on the amounts receivable by them under this Agreement. The Members hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV in reporting their share of Company income and loss for income tax purposes. 

(b) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to an interest in the Company that may have been Transferred shall be
allocated between the Transferor and the Transferee based on the portion of the Fiscal Year during which each was recognized as the owner of such interest, without regard to the results of Company operations during any particular portion of that
year and without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the Transferor or the Transferee during that year; provided, however, that this allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 706 and
the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 (c) The Members’ proportionate shares of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the
Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated to the Members in any manner determined by the Managing Member and permissible under the Treasury Regulations. 

  
 18 

 ARTICLE V 

DISTRIBUTIONS 

Section 5.1 Distributions. 

(a) Distributions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, distributions to Members may be declared by the Managing
Member out of funds legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms (including the payment dates of such distributions) as the Managing Member shall determine using such record date as the Managing Member may designate; such
distribution shall be made to the Members as of the close of business on such record date on a pro rata basis (except that repurchases or redemptions made in accordance with Section 3.1(f) or payments made in accordance with
Section 6.4 need not be on a pro rata basis), in accordance with the number of Units owned by each Member as of the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall have the
obligation to make distributions as set forth in Sections 3.1(f), 5.2 and 6.4; and provided further that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no distributions shall be made to any Member to the extent
such distribution would render the Company insolvent. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, insolvency means the inability of the Company to meet its payment obligations when due. Promptly following the designation of a record date and the
declaration of a distribution pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Managing Member shall give notice to each Member of the record date, the amount and the terms of the distribution and the payment date thereof. 

(b) Successors. For purposes of determining the amount of distributions, each Member shall be treated as having made the Capital
Contributions and as having received the Distributions made to or received by its predecessors in respect of any of such Member’s Units. 

(c) Distributions In-Kind. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any distributions may be made in cash or in kind, or partly
in cash and partly in kind, as determined by the Managing Member. To the extent that the Company distributes property in-kind to the Members, the Company shall be treated as making a distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for
purposes of Section 5.1(a) and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value. Any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts in accordance with
Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. 
 Section 5.2 Certain Distributions and Advances. Subject to
the availability of funds and to any restrictions contained in any agreement to which the Company is bound, 
 (a) On each Tax Distribution
Date, the Company shall, make distributions to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Units in an amount sufficient to cause SEI to receive a distribution of cash equal to its Assumed Tax Liability, if any. 

(b) On or immediately prior to each Quarterly Distribution Date, the Company shall make distributions to the Members pro rata in proportion to
their respective Units in an amount determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion, to be sufficient to cause SEI to receive a distribution of cash equal to the dividend declared by SEI for such Quarterly Distribution Date. 

(c) On each TRA Payment Date, the Company shall make distributions to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Units in an
amount sufficient to cause SEI to receive a distribution of cash equal to its required payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, subject to any deferral required under the Tax Receivable Agreement. 

(d) If the cumulative amount of actual federal, state and local income taxes due from SEI for the current taxable year and all prior taxable
years as of the due date for SEI’s federal income tax return for such taxable year exceeds the sum of the cumulative amount of distributions pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2(a) and any Tax Advances (as defined below) made to SEI
through such date, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, but subject to the Act, the availability of funds and any restrictions contained in any agreement to which the Company is bound, make advances to SEI in an amount equal
to such excess (a “Tax Advance”). Any such Tax Advance shall be treated as an advance against and, thus, shall reduce (without duplication), any future distributions that would otherwise be made to SEI pursuant to Sections 5.1 and
5.2(a). 

  
 19 

 Section 5.3 Distribution Upon Withdrawal. No withdrawing Member shall be
entitled to receive any distribution or the value of such Member’s Interest in the Company as a result of withdrawal from the Company prior to the liquidation of the Company, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VI 
 MANAGEMENT

 Section 6.1 The Managing Member; Fiduciary Duties. 

(a) SEI shall be the sole Managing Member of the Company. Except as otherwise required by Law, (i) the Managing Member shall have full
and complete charge of all affairs of the Company, (ii) the management and control of the Company’s business activities and operations shall rest exclusively with the Managing Member, and the Managing Member shall make all decisions
regarding the business, activities and operations of the Company (including the incurrence of costs and expenses) in its sole discretion without the consent of any other Member and (iii) the Members other than the Managing Member (in their
capacity as such) shall not participate in the control, management, direction or operation of the activities or affairs of the Company and shall have no power to act for or bind the Company. 

(b) In connection with the performance of its duties as the Managing Member of the Company, the Managing Member acknowledges that it will owe
to the Members the same fiduciary duties as it would owe to the stockholders of a Delaware corporation if it were a member of the board of directors of such a corporation and the Members were stockholders of such corporation. The parties acknowledge
that the Managing Member will take action through its board of directors, and that the members of the Managing Member’s board of directors will owe comparable fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Managing Member. The Managing Member will
use commercially reasonable efforts, as determined in good faith by the Managing Member, to minimize any conflict of interest between the Members, on the one hand, and the stockholders of the Managing Member, on the other hand, and to effectuate any
transaction that involves or affects any of the Company, the Managing Member, the Members and/or the stockholders of the Managing Member in a manner that does not (i) disadvantage the Members or their interests relative to the stockholders of
the Managing Member or (ii) advantage the stockholders of the Managing Member relative to the Members or (iii) treats the Members and the stockholders of the Managing Member differently. 

Section 6.2 Officers. 

(a) The Managing Member may appoint, employ or otherwise contract with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Company or the
performance of services for or on behalf of the Company, and the Managing Member may delegate to any such Persons such authority to act on behalf of the Company as the Managing Member may from time to time deem appropriate. 

(b) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the president and chief executive officer of the Company (the “President and Chief
Executive Officer”) will be responsible for the general and active management of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and will see that all orders of the Managing Member are carried into effect. The President and Chief
Executive Officer will report to the Managing Member and have the general powers and duties of management usually vested in the office of president and chief executive officer of a corporation organized under the DGCL, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, and will have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Managing Member or this Agreement. The President and Chief Executive Officer will have the power to execute bonds, mortgages and other contracts requiring a seal,
under the seal of the Company, except where required or permitted by Law to be otherwise signed and executed, and except where the signing and execution thereof will be expressly delegated by the Managing Member to some other Officer or agent of the
Company. 

  
 20 

 (c) Except as set forth herein, the Managing Member may appoint Officers at any time, and the
Officers may include one or more vice presidents, a secretary, one or more assistant secretaries, a chief financial officer, a general counsel, a treasurer, one or more assistant treasurers, a chief operating officer, an executive chairman, and any
other officers that the Managing Member deems appropriate. Except as set forth herein, the Officers will serve at the pleasure of the Managing Member, subject to all rights, if any, of such Officer under any contract of employment. Any individual
may hold any number of offices, and an Officer may, but need not, be a Member of the Company. The Officers will exercise such powers and perform such duties as specified in this Agreement or as determined from time to time by the Managing Member.

 (d) Subject to this Agreement and to the rights, if any, of an Officer under a contract of employment, any Officer may be removed, either
with or without cause, by the Managing Member. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Managing Member. Any resignation will take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that
notice; and, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation will not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any contract to which the Officer
is a party. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other cause will be filled in the manner prescribed in this Agreement for regular appointments to that office. 

Section 6.3 Warranted Reliance by Officers on Others. In exercising their authority and performing their duties under this
Agreement, the Officers shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements of the following persons or groups unless they have actual knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be
unwarranted: 
 (a) one or more employees or other agents of the Company or subordinates whom the Officer reasonably believes to be reliable
and competent in the matters presented; and 
 (b) any attorney, public accountant, or other person as to matters which the Officer
reasonably believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence. 
 Section 6.4 Indemnification.
Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in this Section 6.4, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative (each, a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact the, she or it, or a
Person of which he, she or it is the legal representative, is or was a Member or an Officer, in each case, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in
the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all judgment, penalties (including
excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlement and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation,
if such Person acted in Good Faith. Reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.4 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding shall be
paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he, she or it is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Company. Indemnification under this Section 6.4 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this
Section 6.4 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.4 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals,
inquiries or investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Section 6.4 could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of

(b) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Section 6.10, nor the amendment of the Certificate of Formation of the Company, nor, to the

circumstance for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Section 6.10 (including, without limitation, each portion of any
paragraph of this Section 6.10 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the
fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 6.10 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Section 6.10 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be

 ARTICLE VII 
 ROLE
OF MEMBERS 
 Section 7.1 Rights or Powers. Other than the Managing Member, the Members, acting in their capacity as
Members, shall not have any right or power to take part in the management or control of the Company or its business and affairs or to act for or bind the Company in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members have all the rights and powers
specifically set forth in this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in the Act. A Member, any Affiliate thereof or an employee, stockholder, agent, director or officer of a Member or any Affiliate thereof, may also be
an employee or be retained as an agent of the Company. The existence of these relationships and acting in such capacities will not result in the Member (other than the Managing Member) being deemed to be participating in the control of the business
of the Company or otherwise affect the limited liability of the Member. Except as specifically provided herein, a Member (other than the Managing Member) shall not, in its capacity as a Member, take part in the operation, management or control of
the Company’s business, transact any business in the Company’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Company. 

Section 7.2 Voting. 

(a) Meetings of the Members may be called upon the written request of Members holding at least 50% of the outstanding Units. Such request
shall state the location of the meeting and the nature of the business to 

  
 23 

 
be transacted at the meeting. Written notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members not less than two Business Days nor more than 30 days prior to the date of such meeting. Members may
vote in person, by proxy or by telephone at any meeting of the Members and may waive advance notice of such meeting. Whenever the vote or consent of Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or consent may be given at a
meeting of the Members or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in this Section 7.2. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the affirmative vote of the Members holding a majority of the outstanding
Units shall constitute the act of the Members. 
 (b) Each Member may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters
in which such Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by such Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11
months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it. 

(c) Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by an Officer designated by the Managing Member or such other individual person as the Managing
Member deems appropriate. 
 (d) Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Members may be taken without a meeting if the requisite
Members whose approval is necessary consent thereto in writing.

ARTICLE VIII 
 TRANSFERS
OF INTERESTS 
 Section 8.1 Restrictions on Transfer. 

(a) Except as provided in Section 3.7 and except for the Transfers by a Member to Permitted Transferee, no Member shall Transfer
all or any portion of its Interest without the prior written consent of the Managing Member in its sole discretion. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.1(a), all or any portion of a Member’s Interests are
Transferred in violation of this Section 8.1(a), involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, then without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the other parties under this Agreement or otherwise, the Transferee of
such Interest (or portion thereof) shall not be admitted to the Company as a Member or be entitled to any rights as a Member hereunder, and the Transferor will continue to be bound by all obligations hereunder, unless and until the Managing Member
consents in writing to such admission, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Managing Member’s sole discretion. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Interests in violation of this
Section 8.1(a) shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. No Units may be Transferred by a Member that also holds Class B Stock unless a corresponding number of shares of Class B Stock are transferred therewith. For the
avoidance of doubt, the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Article VIII shall not apply to the Transfer of any capital stock of the Managing Member; provided that no shares of Class B Stock may be Transferred unless a corresponding
number of Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (b) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein
contained, including the provisions of this Article VIII, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of Interests by any Member be made (i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Interests; (ii) if in the
opinion of legal counsel or a qualified tax advisor to the Company such Transfer presents a material risk that such Transfer would cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership or to be classified as a “publicly traded
partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code for federal income tax purposes; (iii) if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a
“party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code); (iv) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any
portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulation or otherwise cause the Company to be subject to regulation under ERISA; (v) if such Transfer requires the registration
of such Interests or any Equity Securities 

  
 24 

 
issued upon any exchange of such Interests, pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws; (vi) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company
Act or the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, each as amended (or any succeeding law); or (vii) by the Managing Member, if such Transfer would result in the Managing Member holding less than 2% of the outstanding Units. 

Section 8.2 Notice of Transfer. Other than in connection with Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.7, each
Member shall, after complying with the provisions of this Agreement, but in any event no later than three Business Days following any Transfer of Interests, give written notice to the Company of such Transfer. Each such notice shall describe the
manner and circumstances of the Transfer. 
 Section 8.3 Transferee Members. A Transferee of Interests pursuant to this
Article VIII shall have the right to become a Member only if (i) the requirements of this Article VIII are met, (ii) such Transferee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member agreeing to be bound
by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and assuming all of the Transferor’s then existing and future Liabilities arising under or relating to this Agreement, (iii) such Transferee represents that the Transfer was made in accordance
with all applicable securities Laws, (iv) the Transferor or Transferee shall have reimbursed the Company for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any Transfer or proposed Transfer of a Member’s Interest,
whether or not consummated and (v) if such Transferee or his or her spouse is a resident of a community property jurisdiction, then such Transferee’s spouse shall also execute an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member
agreeing to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the extent of his or her community property or quasi-community property interest, if any, in such Member’s Interest. Unless agreed to in writing by the Managing Member, the
admission of a Member shall not result in the release of the Transferor from any Liability that the Transferor may have to each remaining Member or to the Company under this Agreement or any other Contract between the Managing Member, the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Transferor or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand. Written notice of the admission of a Member shall be sent promptly by the Company to each remaining Member. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 8.3, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, following a Transfer by one or more Members (or a transferee of the type described in this sentence) to an Permitted Transferee of all or substantially all
of their Interests, such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights of such Member(s) under this Agreement. 
 Section 8.4
Legend. Each certificate representing a Unit, if any, will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

reasonably deem necessary in the course of fulfilling its obligations as Tax Matters Member. 
 Section 9.5 Withholding Tax
Payments and Obligations. If withholding taxes are paid or required to be paid in respect of payments made to or by the Company, such payments or obligations shall be treated as follows: 

(a) If the Company receives proceeds in respect of which a tax has been withheld, the Company shall be treated as having received cash in an
amount equal to the amount of such withheld tax, and, for all purposes of this Agreement but subject to Section 9.5(d), each Member shall be treated as having received a distribution pursuant to Section 5.1 equal to the
portion of the withholding tax allocable to such Member, as determined by the Managing Member in its discretion. 
 (b) The Company is
authorized to withhold from any payment made to, or any distributive share of, a Member any taxes required by Law to be withheld. 
 (c)
Neither the Company nor the Managing Member shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Member, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Governmental
Entity. 
 (d) Any taxes withheld pursuant to Section 9.5(a) or (b) shall be treated as if distributed to the
relevant Member to the extent an amount equal to such withheld taxes would then be distributable to such Member, and, to the extent in excess of such distributable amounts, as a demand loan payable by the Member to the Company with interest at the
Prime Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually. The Managing Member may, in its discretion, either demand payment of the principal and accrued interest on such demand loan at any time, and enforce payment thereof by legal process, or
may withhold from one or more distributions to a Member amounts sufficient to satisfy such Member’s obligations under any such demand loan. 

(e) If the Company is required by Law to make any payment to a Governmental Entity that is specifically attributable to a Member or a
Member’s status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes, and state unincorporated business taxes), then such Member shall indemnify and contribute 

  
 26 

 
to the Company in full for the entire amount of taxes paid (plus interest, penalties and related expenses if the failure of the Company to make such payment is due to the fault of the Member)

the Company under this Section 9.5(e).

	 	Section 2.	Demand Registration Rights 

 (a) General. If the Company shall receive from any
Holder or group of Holders, at any time after the 180th day after the date of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, a written request that the Company file a registration
statement with respect to any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities or, in the event that a Shelf Registration Statement covering such Holders’ Registrable Securities is already effective, a written request that the Company engage in an
underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”) in respect of such Holder’s Registrable Securities (the sender(s) of such request or any similar request pursuant to this Agreement shall be known as the
“Initiating Holder(s)”), then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered and/or the Underwritten Offering of all
Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be offered pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Initiating Holders’ Registrable Securities that are desired to be sold in an Underwritten Offering are
subject to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, neither the Company nor the Initiating Holders shall be required to include in such Underwritten 

  
 4 

 
Offering other Registrable Securities that are not subject to an effective Shelf Registration Statement to the extent that such inclusion would result in a material delay in the consummation of
the Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Initiating Holders may request that the Company register the sale of such Registrable Securities on an appropriate form, including a Shelf Registration
Statement (so long as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3) and, if the Company is a WKSI, an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect an Underwritten Offering unless such Holder or
Holders reasonably anticipates that the Underwritten Offering will result in gross process of at least $30,000,000 in the aggregate. 
 (b)
Underwriting. In connection with any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall retain underwriters that are reasonably acceptable to such Holder or Holders in order to permit the Holder or Holders to effect such disposition through an
Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that the Company shall have the exclusive right to select the bookrunning managers. The Company and the Holder or Holders shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter that is acceptable to the Company and take all reasonable actions as are requested by the managing underwriters to facilitate the Underwritten Offering and sale of the Registrable Securities therein. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities
that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as set forth in this Section 2(b). The shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included shall be allocated first to the shares requested to be included by the Initiating Holders and then the shares requested to be included by other Holders, with such shares allocated among such other Holders in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such other Holders at the time of filing the registration statement. 

If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. If by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater number of shares of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such registration (up to
the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the same proportion used
in determining the underwriter limitation in this Section 2(b). If the underwriter has not limited the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account if the underwriter so
agrees and if the number of shares of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited. 
  

	 	Section 3.	Piggyback Registrations 

 (a) General. If, at any time or from time to time after
the 180th day after the date of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company proposes to register the sale of any of its Class A Common Stock for own account or for
the account of any third person in connection with an Underwritten Offering of its Class A Common Stock to the general public for cash on a form which would permit the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company will: 

(i) provide to each Holder written notice thereof at least five (5) Business Days before the proposed filing date; and 

  
 5 

 (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration and in the
underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within two (2) Business Days after such Holder’s receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holders (except that
(A) if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a shorter time period and so inform each Holder in the applicable written notice, such written request or requests must be made within five (5) days and (B) in the case
of an “overnight” offering or a “bought deal,” such written request or requests must be made within one (1) Business Day), except as set forth in Section 3(b); provided, however, that the Company may
withdraw any Registration Statement described in this Section 3 at any time before it becomes effective, or postpone or terminate the offering of securities under such registration statement, without obligation or liability to any Holder. 

(b) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in the underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the underwriter
determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise all Holders whose securities would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be so limited and shall be allocated first, to the Company; second, if there remains additional availability for additional Class A Common Stock to be
included in such offering, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in such registration held by such Holders at the time of filing the registration
statement, and third, if there remains availability for additional securities to be included in such offering, pro rata among any other persons who have been granted registration rights, or who have requested participation in the offering. 

If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company
and the underwriter. If by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater number of shares of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the
underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include additional shares of Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in determining the underwriter
limitation in this Section 3(b). 

  
 6 

	 	Section 4.	Selection of Counsel; Registration Expenses 

 (a) The Holders of a majority of the shares
of Registrable Securities included in any offering pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof shall have the right to designate legal counsel to represent all of the Holders in connection therewith. 

(b) All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2 and 3
shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities registered by the Holders shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so sold. 

 

	 	Section 5.	Further Obligations 

 (a) In connection with any registration of the sale of shares of
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will consult with each Holder whose Registrable Securities is to be included in any such registration concerning the form of underwriting agreement (and shall
provide to each such Holder the form of underwriting agreement prior to the Company’s execution thereof) and shall provide to each such Holder and its representatives such other documents (including correspondence with the Commission with
respect to the registration statement and the related securities offering) as such Holder shall reasonably request in connection with its participation in such registration. The Company will furnish each Registering Stockholder whose Registrable
Securities is registered thereunder and each underwriter, if any, with a copy of the registration statement and all amendments thereto and will supply each such Registering Stockholder and each underwriter, if any, with copies of any prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement (including a preliminary prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Prospectus”), in such quantities as may be reasonably requested for the purposes of the
proposed sale or distribution covered by such registration. In the event that the Company prepares and files with the Commission a registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act (a “Registration
Statement”) providing for the sale of Registrable Securities held by any Registering Stockholder pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will: 

(i) prepare and file with the Commission such Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective until the
participating Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in such Registration Statement, which may include sales from time to time for an indefinite period of time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule
that may be adapted by the Commission); 
 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
participating Holder or Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus; 

  
 7 

 (iii) promptly notify the Registering Stockholders and the managing underwriters, if any,
(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
Commission or any state securities commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (E) of the existence of any fact which results in a Registration Statement, a Prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement; 
 (v) if requested by the managing underwriters or a Registering Stockholder, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters or the Registering Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by Registering Stockholders agree should be included therein relating to the sale of
such Registrable Securities, including without limitation information with respect to the amount of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other
terms of the underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters
to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (vi) furnish to such Registering Stockholder and each
managing underwriter at least one signed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those
incorporated by reference) (provided, however, that any such document made available by the Company through EDGAR shall be deemed so furnished); 

(vii) deliver to such Registering Stockholders and the underwriters, if any, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary
prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such persons or entities may reasonably request; 
 (viii) prior to any public
offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify or cooperate with the Registering Stockholders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for
offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States 

  
 8 

 
as any Registering Stockholder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so required to be qualified
or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

(ix) cooperate with the Registering Stockholders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement and not bearing any restrictive legends, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
managing underwriters may request at least one (1) Business Day prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters; 
 (x)
if any fact described in subparagraph (iii)(E) above exists, promptly prepare and file with the Commission a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable 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 Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (xi) cause all Registrable Securities covered by
the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 

(xii) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, not later than the effective date of the
applicable Registration Statement; 
 (xiii) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Company) and take all such other reasonable actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including customary participation of management; and 

(xiv) make available for inspection by a representative of the Registering Stockholders whose Registrable Securities are being sold pursuant
to such Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Registering Stockholders or underwriter, all financial and other records and any
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company reasonably requested by such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any records,
information or documents that are designated by the Company in writing as confidential shall be kept confidential by such persons or entities unless disclosure of such records, information or documents is required by court or administrative order.

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the Company is a WKSI, at the time any Registrable
Securities are registered pursuant to Section 2 

  
 9 

 
hereof, and the Initiating Holders so request, the Company shall file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement which covers those shares of Registrable Securities which are requested to be
registered within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the shares of Registrable Securities at the time the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company agrees
to pay such fee at such time or times as the shares of Registrable Securities are to be sold. If the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year the Company shall file a
new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the shares of Registrable Securities. If at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to file a new Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or amend the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a form that the Company is eligible to use) and keep such registration statement effective during the period during
which such registration statement is required to be kept effective. 
 (c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of an event of the kind described in Section 5(a)(iii)(B) through Section 5(a)(iii)(E), such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement or an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement until such stop order is vacated or such Holder receives a copy of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
reasonable 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 shares of Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. 

 

	 	Section 6.	Further Information Furnished by Holders 

 It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2 through 5 that the Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the sale of their Registrable Securities. 
  

	 	Section 7.	Indemnification 

 In the event any shares of Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under Section 2 or 3: 
 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, each of the officers, directors, partners and agents of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act
or Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such registration statement, including 

  
 10 

 
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any officer, director, employee, advisor or affiliate thereof of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities
law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, partner or agent, underwriter or controlling Person for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied), nor
shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder or underwriter. 
 (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder
will, if shares of Registrable Securities held by such Person are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers,
each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Company’s securities
covered by such a registration statement, any Person who controls such underwriter, and any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and each of its directors, officers, partners or agents or any Person who controls such
Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such underwriter, other Holder, director, officer, partner or agent or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration, and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or
any such underwriter, other Holder, officer, director, partner or agent or controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied); and provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party 

  
 11 

 
so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of any indemnified party
to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this
Section 7 only to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of
any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for
in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. 

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 7 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a registration statement. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification
and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any registration provided for under Sections 2 or 3 are in conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the provisions in such underwriting
agreement shall control. 
  

	 	Section 8.	Rule 144 Reporting 

 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: 

  
 12 

 (a) make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule
144) at all times after the date hereof; 
 (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Exchange Act; and 
 (c) furnish to any Holder, forthwith upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company (provided, however, that any such report or document described in this subsection (iii) made available by the Company through EDGAR shall be deemed so
furnished), and (iv) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form. 

 

	 	Section 9.	Assignment of Rights 

 The provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, except as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, that the registration rights granted hereby may be transferred only (i) by operation of Law or
(ii) to any Person to whom a Holder transfers Registrable Securities, provided that any such transferee shall not be entitled to rights pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof unless such transferee of registration rights
hereunder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and executes and delivers to the Company an acknowledgment and agreement to such effect. 
  

	 	Section 10.	Amendment of Registration Rights 

 Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2⁄3%) of the Registrable Securities or securities convertible into Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 10 shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. 
  

	 	Section 11.	Expiration, Termination and Delay of Registration 

 (a) The Company shall have no further
obligations pursuant to this Agreement at such time as no shares of Registrable Securities are outstanding after their original issuance; provided, that the Parties’ obligations under Sections 7 and 14 (and any related definitions) shall
remain in full force and effect following such time. 
 (b) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Company shall furnish to such Holder or Holders a certificate signed by the
President of the Company stating that in the 

  
 13 

 
good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company that it has determined that the Company’s compliance with its obligations of Sections 2 and 3 would be detrimental to the Company
because such registration would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company, (y) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a
bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under applicable securities laws, then the Company shall have the right to postpone compliance with such obligations for a
period of not more than six months; provided, however, that such right may not be exercised more than twice in any 24-month period. 
  

	 	Section 12.	Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

 From and after the date hereof, the
Company may, without the prior written consent of the Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which provides such holder or prospective holder of securities of the Company registration
rights that conflict with those granted to the Holders hereby. 
  

	 	Section 13.	“Market Stand-off” Agreement 

 In connection with any Underwritten Offering
pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement, each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of securities of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities,
except securities included in such registration, during the period beginning fourteen (14) days prior to the expected date of “pricing” of such offering and continuing for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days
with respect to the initial public offering or ninety (90) days with respect to any offering subsequent to the initial public offering beginning on the date of such final prospectus (or prospectus supplement if the offering is made pursuant to
a Shelf Registration Statement), and it will enter into agreements with the managing underwriters, if any, in connection with any such sale to give effect to the foregoing; provided, however, that all other Persons with registration
rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into similar agreements. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares
or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such one hundred eighty (180)-day or ninety (90)-day period. 
  

	 	Section 14.	Miscellaneous 

 (a) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and received when delivered by overnight courier or hand delivery, when sent by telecopy, or five (5) days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail

 ARTICLE II

 DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT 

Section 2.1 Basis Adjustment Schedule. Within sixty (60) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return
of the Corporate Taxpayer for each Taxable Year in which any Exchange has been effected, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to Agent a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail necessary to perform
the calculations required by this Agreement, including with respect to each Exchanging Person, (i) the Exchange Tax Basis of the Reference Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date, (ii) the Exchange Basis Adjustments with respect to the
Reference Assets as a result of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year, calculated in the aggregate, (iii) the period (or periods) over which the Reference Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable and (iv) the period (or periods)
over which each Exchange Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in an Exchange Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as
Imputed Interest. 
 Section 2.2 Tax Benefit Schedule. Within sixty (60) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal
income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to Agent: (i) a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of
the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”), (ii) the Corporate Taxpayer Return, (iii) a reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Hypothetical
Tax Liability, (iv) a reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the actual Tax liability, and (v) any other work papers requested by Agent. In addition, the 

  
 10 

 
Corporate Taxpayer shall allow Agent reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives of the Corporate Taxpayer in connection with a review of such Tax Benefit Schedule. The Tax
Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)). 

Section 2.3 Procedure; Amendments. 

(a) Procedure. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days
from the first date on which Agent has received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless Agent (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporate Taxpayer
with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which
case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in an Objection Notice within thirty
(30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of such Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and Agent shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in Section 7.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation
Procedures”). 
 (b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the
Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year
after the date the Schedule was provided to Agent, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such
Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended
Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year or (vi) to adjust an Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”). 

ARTICLE III 
 TAX
BENEFIT PAYMENTS 
 Section 3.1 Payments. 

(a) Payments. Subject to Section 3.5, within five (5) calendar days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to Agent
becomes final in accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Holder its proportionate share of the Tax Benefit Payment determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for such Taxable Year. Each such
payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by the TRA Holder to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Holder. For the avoidance of
doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including, without limitation, U.S. federal estimated income Tax payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligation to make a Tax
Benefit Payment with respect to a Taxable Year prior to December 19 of the subsequent calendar year. 

  
 11 

 (b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” means the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Accrued
Amount. Subject to Section 3.3, the “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total
amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.1 (excluding payments attributable to Accrued Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a TRA Holder shall not be required to return any portion of any previously
made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Accrued Amount” shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporate Taxpayer Return with respect to Taxes for
such Taxable Year until the Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Accrued Amount shall not be treated as interest but shall instead be treated as additional consideration for the acquisition of Spark HoldCo Units in an
Exchange unless otherwise required by law. 
 Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this
Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, and the
Accrued Amount thereon, being paid to the TRA Holders pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to achieve these fundamental results. 

Section 3.3 Proportionate Share and Pro Rata Payments. 

(a) Proportionate Share. For purposes of this Agreement, a TRA Holder’s “proportionate share” for any Taxable Year
equals (i) the deductions available for use in such Taxable Year associated with the Exchange Basis Adjustments and the Imputed Interest attributable to such TRA Holder, divided by (ii) the deductions associated with all Exchange Basis
Adjustments and all Imputed Interest that are available for use in such Taxable Year. 
 (b) Pro Rata Payments. If the Corporate
Taxpayer lacks sufficient funds to satisfy or is prevented under any credit agreement or other arrangement from satisfying its obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year, each TRA Holder shall receive its
proportionate share of the total funds available in the Taxable Year to make the Tax Benefit Payments. 
 Section 3.4 Opt Out.

 (a) Notwithstanding Section 3.1, prior to an Exchange, a TRA Holder may elect not to receive any payments under this
Agreement with respect to such Exchange, by delivering written notice evidencing such election (an “Opt Out Notice”) to the Corporate Taxpayer at least three Business Days prior to the Exchange Date of the relevant Exchange. An Opt
Out Notice, when delivered, shall be irrevocable. 

  
 12 

 (b) This Agreement shall not apply to any Exchange which is covered by an Opt Out Notice
delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a), and all computations hereunder, including the computation of any Tax Benefit Payments and determination of any amounts attributable to a TRA Holder, shall be made without taking into account
Exchanges covered by such Opt Out Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, a TRA Holder who makes an election pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall remain entitled to payments under this Agreement with respect to any Exchanges for which no
election has been made pursuant to Section 3.4(a). 
 Section 3.5 Five-Year Deferral Period. 

(a) Any Tax Benefit Payment that would otherwise be due and payable pursuant to Section 3.1(a) during the Five-Year Deferral
Period shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cause the TRA Coverage Ratio with respect to such Tax Benefit Payment to be met. The “TRA Coverage Ratio” shall be met with respect to a Tax Benefit Payment if Cash Available for
Distribution during the four-quarter period ending on September 30 of the calendar year in which such Tax Benefit Payment would be due and payable equals or exceeds 130% of the Total Distributions for such four-quarter period. The cumulative
amount by which any Tax Benefit Payments are reduced pursuant this Section 3.5(a) is referred to herein as the “Deferred TRA Amount.” For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the TRA Coverage Ratio is met with
respect to any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment, that portion of the Tax Benefit Payment shall be due and payable under Section 3.1(a), with the remainder being added to the Deferred TRA Amount. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.5(c), the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay the Deferred TRA Amount as soon as practicable following the
expiration of the Five-Year Deferral Period and in no event later than October 10, 2019 (the date of such actual payment, the “Deferred TRA Payment Date”). 

(c) The Deferred TRA Amount shall not exceed (i) the lesser of (A) the Corporate Taxpayer’s proportionate share of the
aggregate Cash Available for Distribution during the Five-Year Deferral Period or (B) the cash distributions from Spark HoldCo actually received by the Corporate Taxpayer during the Five-Year Deferral Period, reduced by (ii) the sum of
(A) the aggregate of the Target Distributions on each Quarterly Distribution Date during the Five-Year Deferral Period, plus (B) the Corporate Taxpayer’s Assumed Tax Liability on each Tax Distribution Date during the Five-Year
Deferral period, plus (C) all prior Tax Benefit Payments. 
 (d) For purposes of illustration, sample calculations of the TRA Coverage
Ratio and examples of non-deferral, full deferral, and partial deferral are set forth in Schedule B attached hereto.

 ARTICLE IV 

TERMINATION 

Section 4.1 Early Termination, Breach of Agreement and Payment Related to Change of Control. 

(a) The Corporate Taxpayer may terminate this Agreement at any time by paying to each TRA Holder its proportionate share of the Early
Termination Payment. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporate Taxpayer, the Corporate Taxpayer shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for (i) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by
the Corporate Taxpayer acting in good faith and any TRA Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination
Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment). Upon payment of all amounts provided for in this Section 4.1(a), this Agreement shall terminate. 

(b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to
make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations
hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated
as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer acting in good faith and any TRA Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and
(iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this Agreement, the TRA Holders shall be entitled to elect to
receive the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of
the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it shall not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a
payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any
Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporate
Taxpayer does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements to which Spark HoldCo or any Subsidiary of Spark HoldCo is a party, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but
the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate); provided further that it shall be a breach of this Agreement, and the provisions in the first two sentences of this Section 4.1(b) shall apply as of the original due date of
the Tax Benefit Payment, if the Corporate Taxpayer makes any distribution of cash or other property to its 

  
 14 

 
shareholders in excess of the Target Distribution while any Tax Benefit Payment is due and payable but unpaid. Any Tax Benefit Payment that is not paid when due pursuant to this
Section 4.1(b) shall be due on the date of the next Tax Benefit Payment (the “Subsequent Due Date”). If all or a portion of any Tax Benefit Payment is not made to any TRA Holder on the Subsequent Due Date, such payment
may be further deferred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1(b) and shall continue to accrue interest pursuant to Section 5.2. 

(c) The Corporate Taxpayer and each TRA Holder hereby acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax
Benefit Payments cannot reasonably be ascertained for U.S. federal income Tax or other applicable Tax purposes. 
 (d) In the event of a
Change of Control, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated pursuant to this Article IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control and shall
include, but not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the effective date of a Change of Control, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of a TRA Holder agreed
to by the Corporation and such TRA Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the effective date of a Change of Control.
In the event of a Change of Control, the Early Termination Payment shall be calculated utilizing the Valuation Assumptions and by substituting in each case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination
Date.” 
 Section 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early
termination under Section 4.1(a) above, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to Agent notice of such intention to exercise such right (the “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination
Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all
parties thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which Agent has received such Schedule or amendment thereto unless Agent (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the
Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described
in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer (the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully
resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and Agent shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. 

Section 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination. 

(a) Within three (3) calendar days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Holder its
Early Termination Payment. Each such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the TRA Holder or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Holder. 

  
 15 

 (b) “Early Termination Payment” shall equal, with respect to each TRA Holder,
the present value, discounted at the Agreed Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to the TRA Holder beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that
the Valuation Assumptions are applied; provided that, in the event the Early Termination Effective Date occurs prior to or on the same date as the Deferred TRA Payment Date, the Deferred TRA Amount shall be included in the Early Termination
Payment without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 3.5(c). 
 ARTICLE V 

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS 

Section 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment,
Deferred TRA Amount or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to any TRA Holder under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable
in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the
Corporate Taxpayer that are not Senior Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the above, the determination of whether it is a breach of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due is
governed by Section 4.1(b). 
 Section 5.2 Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion
of any Tax Benefit Payment, Deferred TRA Amount or Early Termination Payment not made to any TRA Holder when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate (or, if so provided
in Section 4.1(b), at the Agreed Rate) and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment, Deferred TRA Amount or Early Termination Payment was due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, no interest (other than the Accrued
Amount) shall accrue on any Deferred TRA Amount during the Five-Year Deferral Period, but interest shall accrue as provided in this Section 5.2 on the amount of all or any portion of any Deferred TRA Amount not made to any TRA Holder as
provided in Section 3.5(b). 
 ARTICLE VI 

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION 

Section 6.1 Participation in the Corporate Taxpayer’s and Spark HoldCo’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporate Taxpayer and Spark HoldCo, including without limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and
defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer shall notify Agent of, and keep Agent reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate Taxpayer and
Spark HoldCo by a 

  
 16 

 
Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of the TRA Holders under this Agreement, and shall provide to Agent reasonable opportunity to
provide information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, Spark HoldCo and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and Spark HoldCo shall not be
required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the Spark HoldCo LLC Agreement. 
 Section 6.2
Consistency. Except upon the written advice of a Qualified Tax Advisor, and except for items that are explicitly characterized as “deemed” or in a similar manner by the terms of this Agreement, the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA
Holders agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including, without limitation, the Reference Assets and each
Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement. Any Dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to
the terms of Section 7.9. 
 Section 6.3 Cooperation. Each TRA Holder shall (i) furnish to the Corporate
Taxpayer in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the Corporate Taxpayer may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax
Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (ii) make itself available to the Corporate Taxpayer and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other
information as the Corporate Taxpayer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the Corporate
Taxpayer shall reimburse the TRA Holder for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.3.

 Section 7.6 Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers. 

(a) No TRA Holder may assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the Corporate Taxpayer; provided,
however, that (i) to the extent Spark HoldCo Units are transferred in accordance with the terms of the Spark HoldCo LLC Agreement, the transferring TRA Holder shall have the option to assign to the transferee of such Spark HoldCo Units
the transferring TRA Holder’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Spark HoldCo Units as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this
Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporate Taxpayer, agreeing to become a “TRA Holder” for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder, and (ii) any and all payments
payable or that may become payable to a TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement (A) that do not arise from an Exchange and (B) that, once an Exchange has occurred, arise with respect to the Exchanged Spark HoldCo Units, may be assigned to
any Person or Persons as long as any such Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporate Taxpayer,
agreeing to be bound by Section 7.12 and acknowledging specifically the terms of Section 7.6(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if a TRA Holder transfers Spark HoldCo Units but does not assign to the transferee of such Spark
HoldCo Units the rights of such TRA Holder under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Spark HoldCo Units, such TRA Holder shall continue to be entitled to receive the Tax Benefit Payments, if any, due hereunder with respect to, including
any Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of, such Spark HoldCo Units. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7.6, no transferee described in clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 7.6(a) shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section 2.3, Section 4.2, or
Section 6.2 of this Agreement, and no assignee described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.6(a) shall have any rights under this Agreement except for the right to enforce its right to receive payments
under this Agreement. 
 (c) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the
Corporate Taxpayer and Spark HoldCo and by TRA Holders who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Holders hereunder if the Corporate Taxpayer had exercised its right of early termination
on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, however,
that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment would have a disproportionate effect on the payments certain TRA Holders will or may receive under this Agreement unless all such disproportionately affected TRA Holders consent in writing
to such amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

 (d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. the Corporate Taxpayer shall cause
any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event a TRA Holder transfers his Spark HoldCo Units to
a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Spark HoldCo LLC Agreement), such TRA Holder shall have the right, on behalf of such transferee, to enforce the provisions of Section 2.3, Section 4.2 or Section 6.2 with
respect to such transferred Spark HoldCo Units. 
 Section 7.7 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections
of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 
 Section 7.8
Resolution of Disputes. 
 (a) Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 7.9, including any ancillary claims
of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this Section 7.8
and Section 7.9) (each a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 7.8. The parties hereto shall attempt in good faith to resolve all Disputes by negotiation. If a Dispute between the parties hereto cannot
be resolved in such manner, such Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in Texas in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the
Dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to
the practice of law in the State of Texas and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. In addition to monetary damages, the
arbitrator shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party
hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. The award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting
presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.8(a), the Corporate Taxpayer may bring an action or special proceeding in any
court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this
Section 7.8(b), Agent and each TRA Holder (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 7.8(c) to any 

  
 20 

 
such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies
at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Corporate Taxpayer as agent of such party for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall
promptly advise such party in writing of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding. 

(c) (i) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY
JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 7.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS
AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that
the fora designated by this Section 7.8(c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another; and 

(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to
personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in Section 7.8(c)(i) and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same. 

Section 7.9 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and Agent or the relevant TRA Holder, as applicable, are
unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Section 2.3, Section 4.2 and Section 6.2 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation
Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a
partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the Corporate Taxpayer and Agent or the relevant TRA Holder agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material
relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or Agent or the relevant TRA Holder, as applicable, or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the
respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment
thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement
would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be 

  
 21 

 
paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses
relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporate Taxpayer except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporate Taxpayer and Agent or the relevant TRA Holder, as applicable, shall bear their own
costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts Agent’s or the relevant TRA Holder’s, as applicable, position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse Agent or the relevant TRA Holder, as applicable,
for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert adopts the Corporate Taxpayer’s position, in which case Agent or the relevant TRA Holder, as applicable, shall reimburse the Corporate Taxpayer for
any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine
any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries and Agent or the relevant TRA Holder, as applicable, and may be entered and
enforced in any court having jurisdiction. 
 Section 7.10 Withholding. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or
non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the relevant
TRA Holder. 
 Section 7.11 Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets. 

(a) If the Corporate Taxpayer becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax
Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of U.S. state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit
Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole. 

(b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a
corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount
of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable
transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset, plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a
contribution of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest. For purposes of this Section 7.11(b), a transfer of a partnership interest shall be
treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership. 

  
 22 

 Section 7.12 Confidentiality. 

(a) Agent and each of its assignees and each TRA Holder and each of its assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of the
Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep
and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, concerning Spark HoldCo and its Affiliates and
successors or the TRA Holders, learned by Agent or TRA Holder heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its
Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of Agent or a TRA Holder in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a TRA
Holder to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Agent and each of its assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of Agent or its assignees, as applicable) and each TRA Holder and each of its assignees (and each employee, representative or other
agent of such TRA Holder or its assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Corporate Taxpayer, Spark HoldCo, Agent, the TRA Holders and their Affiliates,
and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or the TRA Holder relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure. 

(b) If Agent or an assignee or a TRA Holder or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this
Section 7.12, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need
to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries or the TRA Holders and the accounts and funds managed
by the Corporate Taxpayer and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 2 
 THE CREDITS

 2.01 Working Capital Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank severally agrees to make loans
(each such loan, a “Working Capital Loan”) to the Co-Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Bank’s
Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing: 
 (a) the aggregate amount of Working Capital Loans
plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate Commitments of the Banks, or, if a Defaulting Bank exists hereunder, the Total Available Commitments and (ii) the Borrowing Base Advance Cap
determined as of the date of such request on the basis of the Collateral Position Report most recently received by the Agent pursuant to Section 7.02(b) two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested Working Capital
Loans are to be made, 
 (b) the aggregate Effective Amount of Working Capital Loans of any Bank, plus such Bank’s Pro Rata
Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment, and 
 (c) the amount of such Working
Capital Loan, plus the Effective Amount of all Working Capital Loans made for the purpose described in the applicable Advance Sub-limit Cap shall not exceed the applicable Advance Sub-limit Cap. 

Within the limits of each Bank’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Co-Borrowers’ ability to
obtain Working Capital Loans shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Co-Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.06, and re-borrow under this Section 2.01. Working Capital Loans
may be Base Rate Loans, COF Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 2.02 Increase in Commitments. 

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.02, the Co-Borrowers may request that
the amount of the aggregate Commitments be increased one or more times, in each case in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00 or in integral multiples of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof; provided that the aggregate Commitments after any such
increase may not exceed $120,000,000. 
 (b) Each such increase shall be effective only upon the following conditions being satisfied:
(i) the Agent and each Issuing Bank shall have approved such increase, each 

  
 -34- 

 
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time thereof or would be caused thereby, (iii) either the Banks
having Commitments hereunder at the time the increase is requested agree to increase their Commitments in the amount of the requested increase or other financial institutions agree to make a Commitment in the amount of the difference between the
amount of the increase requested by the Co-Borrowers and the amount by which the Banks having Commitments hereunder at the time the increase is requested are increasing their Commitments, (iv) such Banks and other financial institutions, if
any, shall have executed and delivered to the Agent a Commitment Increase Agreement or a New Bank Agreement, as applicable, and (v) the Co-Borrowers shall have delivered such evidence of authority for the increase (including without limitation,
certified resolutions of the applicable managers and/or members of the Co-Borrowers authorizing such increase) as the Agent may reasonably request. 

(c) Each financing institution to be added to this Agreement as described in Section 2.02(b)(iii) above shall execute and deliver
to the Agent a New Bank Agreement, pursuant to which it becomes a party to this Agreement. Each Bank agreeing to increase its Commitment as described in Section 2.02(b)(iii) shall execute and deliver to the Agent a Commitment Increase
Agreement pursuant to which it increases its Commitment hereunder. In addition, a Responsible Officer shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for each Bank being added to this Agreement, a Note payable to such new Bank in the principal amount of the
Commitment of such Bank, and for each Bank increasing its Commitment, a replacement Note payable to such Bank, in the principal amount of the increased Commitment of such Bank. Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of the pertinent New
Bank Agreement or Commitment Increase Agreement. In the event a replacement Note is issued to a Bank, such Bank shall mark the original note as “REPLACED” and shall return such original Note to the Co-Borrowers. Upon execution and delivery
to the Agent of the Note and the execution by the Agent of the relevant New Bank Agreement or Commitment Increase Agreement, as the case may be, such new financing institution shall constitute a “Bank” hereunder with a Commitment as
specified therein, or such existing Bank’s Commitment shall increase as specified therein, as the case may be, and the Agent shall notify the Co-Borrowers and all Banks of such addition or increase, and the final allocations thereof, and
provide a revised Schedule 2.01 reflecting such additions or increase together with a schedule showing the revised Advance Sub-limit Caps and the revised L/C Sub-limit Caps. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.02, the Banks having Commitments hereunder at the time any such
increase is requested shall have the first right, but shall not be obligated, to participate in such increase by agreeing to increase their respective Commitments by their Pro Rata Share to the extent of such increase. The Agent shall not, and shall
not be obligated to, permit any financial institutions that do not have, at that time, Commitments hereunder to make commitments for portions of the requested increase not assumed by the Banks having Commitments hereunder until each of such Banks
have agreed to increase their Commitments or declined to do so. To facilitate the Banks’ right of first refusal, HoldCo shall, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each Bank) given not less than 30 days prior
to the requested effective date of the increase in Commitments (the “Increase Effective Date”), request that the Banks increase their Commitments. Each Bank shall, by notice to HoldCo and the Agent given not later than 15 days
following receipt of HoldCo’s request, advise HoldCo whether or not it will increase its Commitments as of the 

  
 -35- 

 
Increase Effective Date. Any Bank that has not so advised HoldCo and the Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such increase in its Commitment. The decision to increase
its Commitment hereunder shall be at the sole discretion of each Bank. 
 2.03 Loan Accounts. The Loans and Letters of Credit Issued
may be evidenced by Notes and loan accounts. Each Bank may endorse on the schedules annexed to its Note the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Co-Borrowers with respect thereto.
Each Bank is irrevocably authorized by the Co-Borrowers to endorse its Note and records and such Bank’s records shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make, or an error in
making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of the Co-Borrowers hereunder or under such Note to such Bank. 

2.04 Procedure for Borrowing. 

(a) Each Borrowing of Loans consisting only of Base Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans shall be made upon the Co-Borrowers’ irrevocable written
notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date specifying the amount of the Borrowing. Each Borrowing of Loans that includes
any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Co-Borrowers’ irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) three
(3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date), specifying the amount of the Borrowing. Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be submitted by HoldCo by electronic transfer or facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing and
shall specify (i) the Type of Loan requested and (ii) the Co-Borrower(s) for whom such Loan is requested. Each requested Eurodollar Rate Loan must be in a principal amount of at least $5,000,000.00 and any multiple of $1,000,000.00 in
excess thereof. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing requesting Working Capital Loans, the Agent shall promptly notify each
Bank of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such requested Working Capital Loans. 
 (c) Each Bank will make the amount of its Pro Rata
Share of such Borrowing available to Agent for the account of the Co-Borrowers at Agent’s Payment Office by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date requested by the Co-Borrowers in funds immediately available to Agent. The proceeds
of all such Loans will then be made available to the Co-Borrowers by the Agent by crediting the Bank Blocked Account designated by HoldCo with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Banks and in like funds as received by the
Agent. 
 2.05 Conversion and Continuation Elections. 

(a) The Co-Borrowers may, upon irrevocable written notice to Agent in accordance with Subsection 2.05(b): 

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, in the case of any 

  
 -36- 

 
Eurodollar Rate Loan, to convert any such Loans into Loans of any other Type (provided, however, the principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan must be at least $5,000,000.00);
or 
 (ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Loans having Interest Periods
expiring on such day (provided, however, the principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan must be at least $5,000,000.00); 

provided, however, that if at any time the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment,
prepayment, or conversion of part thereof, to a principal amount that is less than $5,000,000.00, such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right of the Co-Borrowers to continue such
Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall terminate. 
 (b) HoldCo shall deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to be received by Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Conversion/Continuation Date if the Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans; and three (3) Business Day in advance of
the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans, specifying: 

(i) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date; 

(ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued; 

(iii) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and 

(iv) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest
Period. 
 (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Co-Borrowers have failed to timely
select a new Interest Period to be applicable to its Eurodollar Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the Co-Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as
of the expiration date of such Interest Period. 
 (d) Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Co-Borrowers, Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Loans, with respect to which the notice was given, held by each Bank. Agent will promptly notify, in writing, each Bank of the amount of such Bank’s applicable percentage of that Conversion/Continuation.

 (e) Unless the Majority Banks otherwise agree, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Co-Borrowers may not elect to
have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (f) After giving effect to any Borrowing, conversion or continuation
of Loans, there may not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect. 

  
 -37- 

 2.06 Optional Prepayments. The Co-Borrowers may, at any time or from time to time, upon
HoldCo’s irrevocable written notice to Agent received prior to 12:00 p.m. noon (New York City time) on the date of prepayment, prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt
of any such prepayment, and of such Bank’s applicable percentage of such prepayment (which share may be affected by the allocation rules set forth in Section 2.16 with respect to Defaulting Banks). 

2.07 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. 

(a) If on any date (i) the Effective Amount of Working Capital Loans then outstanding under any Advance Sub-limit Cap exceeds the amount
of such Advance Sub-limit Cap, or (ii) the Effective Amount of all Working Capital Loans then outstanding plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the lesser of the aggregate of the Commitments or the Borrowing Base Advance Cap,
the Co-Borrowers shall within three Business Days, and without notice or demand, (1) prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Working Capital Loans and L/C Borrowings by an amount equal to the applicable excess, such payments to be
applied pro rata, or (2) Cash Collateralize on such date the excess amount pursuant to subsection (b). 
 (b) If on any
date the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the lesser of the aggregate Commitments or the Borrowing Base Advance Cap, or any L/C Obligations relating to a type of Letter of Credit described herein exceeds the applicable L/C Sub-limit
Cap, the Co-Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize on such date the outstanding Letters of Credit, or the outstanding type of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in an amount equal to such excess, and thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration
Date, Co-Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations related to such Letters of Credit. If on any date after
giving effect to any Cash Collateralization made on such date pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Effective Amount of all Working Capital Loans then outstanding plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the lesser of the aggregate
Commitments or the Borrowing Base Advance Cap, the Co-Borrowers shall immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Working Capital Loans and L/C Borrowings by an amount equal to the applicable excess,
such payments to be applied pro rata. Any cash deposited as cash collateral or portion thereof, shall be returned to Co-Borrowers as soon as reasonably practicable after notice to Agent of the expiration, termination or satisfaction of the Letters
of Credit in sufficient amounts such that the Effective Amount of all Working Capital Loans then outstanding plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations does not exceed the lesser of the aggregate Commitments or the Borrowing Base Advance Cap.

 (c) If an increase in the aggregate Commitments is effected as permitted under Section 2.02, the Co-Borrowers shall prepay any
Working Capital Loans and L/C Borrowings outstanding on the date such increase is effected to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Commitments ratable to reflect the revised Pro Rata Shares of the Banks arising from such increase. Any
prepayment made by the Co-Borrowers in accordance with this Section 2.07(c) may be made with the proceeds of Working Capital Loans made by all the Banks in connection such increase occurring simultaneously with the prepayment. 

  
 -38- 

 2.08 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Co-Borrowers may, upon notice to the
Agent by the Co-Borrowers, terminate the aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Agent not later than noon five
(5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Co-Borrowers may
not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto, a mandatory prepayment would be required under Section 2.07(a). The Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such termination or reduction of the
aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments and all
other amounts payable shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 2.09 Repayment. The Co-Borrowers shall repay the
principal amount of each Working Capital Loan on the Advance Maturity Date for such Loan. 
 2.10 Interest. 

(a) Each Loan (except for a Working Capital Loan made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or a Reducing L/C Borrowing) shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin at all times such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a floating rate per annum
equal to the COF Rate plus the Applicable Margin at all times such Loan is a COF Rate Loan or at the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin at all times such Loan is an Eurodollar Rate Loan. Each Working Capital Loan made as a result of a
drawing under a Letter of Credit or a Reducing L/C Borrowing shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date funded at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such Loan has been
outstanding for more than two (2) Business Days and, thereafter, shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, plus two percent (2.0%) per
annum (the “Default Rate”). 
 (b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. 

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, if any amount of principal of or interest on any Loan, or any other amount payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise), the Co-Borrowers agree to pay interest on such unpaid principal or other amount, from the date such amount
becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, and after as well as before any entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law, payable on demand, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 

  
 -39- 

 (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of the Co-Borrowers to the
Banks hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payment of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the
Banks would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to the Banks limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by the Banks, and in such event the Co-Borrowers shall pay the Banks interest
at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. 
 (e) Regardless of any provision contained in the Notes or in any of the Loan Documents,
the Banks shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest under the Notes or any Loan Document, or otherwise, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under
applicable law, and, in the event that the Banks ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Notes, and, if the
principal balance of the Notes is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Co-Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, the
Co-Borrowers and the Banks shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect
thereof, and (iii) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of such Notes so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term; provided, however, that if all Obligations under the Notes and
all Loan Documents are performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual term thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, the Banks shall refund to the Co-Borrowers the amount of such
excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Banks’ Notes at the time in question. 

2.11 Non-Utilization Fees. The Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank in accordance with its Pro Rata Share,
a non-utilization fee equal to (a) if the average daily Aggregate Amount during the most recently ended fiscal quarter was less than fifty percent (50%) of the average daily aggregate Commitments of the Banks in effect during such fiscal
quarter, 0.50% per annum and (b) if the average daily Aggregate Amount during the most recently ended fiscal quarter was greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average daily aggregate Commitments of the Banks in effect
during such fiscal quarter, 0.375% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Commitments exceed the Aggregate Amount; provided that for any day that a Bank is a Defaulting Bank hereunder, its Commitments shall
be deemed to be, solely for purposes of this Section 2.11, zero. The non-utilization fees shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V
are not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears within fifteen (15) days of the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Expiration Date. The non-utilization fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. 
 2.12 Computation of Fees and Interest. 

(a) All computations in respect of interest at the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a 365/366-day year. All other computations of fees
and interest shall be made on the 

  
 -40- 

 
basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period
during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof through the last day thereof. 
 (b) Each determination of an
interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Co-Borrowers. 
 2.13 Payments by the Co-Borrowers. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Co-Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Co-Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Banks at Agent’s Payment Office, and shall be made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, an amount determined pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received. Any
payment received by Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If and to the extent the Co-Borrowers make a payment
in full to Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day and Agent does not distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share of such payment in like funds as received on the same Business Day, Agent shall pay to each Bank on
demand interest on such amount as should have been distributed to such Bank at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such payment was received until the date such amount is distributed. 

(i) For any payment received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Co-Borrowers in respect of Obligations that are then due and
payable (and prepayments pursuant to Section 2.06), the Agent will promptly distribute such amounts in like funds to each Bank, its Pro Rata Share of the Working Capital Loans except that any amount otherwise payable to a Defaulting Bank
shall be distributed in the manner described in Section 2.16(g). 
 (ii) For any payment received from or on
behalf of the Co-Borrowers by the Agent on or after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Agent will promptly distribute such payment in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(c) Unless Agent receives notice from the Co-Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Co-Borrowers will
not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that the Co-Borrowers have made such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount 

  
 -41- 

 
equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Co-Borrowers have not made such payment in full to Agent, each Bank shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such
Bank, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date repaid. 

2.14 Payments by the Banks to Agent. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in
immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Co-Borrowers such amount, that Bank shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the
Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice of Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.14 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such
payment to Agent shall constitute such Bank’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, Agent will notify the Co-Borrowers
of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, the Co-Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the
interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. 
 2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as
expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share (or after the
occurrence of a Sharing Event, an amount determined pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement), such Bank shall immediately (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Loans made by them as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; except that with respect to any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank by virtue of such Bank failing to fund its Pro Rata Share or Pro Rata Adjusted
Percentage of any Working Capital Loan or L/C Borrowing, such Defaulting Bank’s pro rata share of the excess payment shall be allocated to the Bank (or the Banks, pro rata) that funded such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share or Pro Rata
Adjusted Percentage; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the
purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Co-Borrowers agree that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Co-Borrowers in
the amount of such participation. Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Banks following any such purchases or
repayments.

 2.16 Defaulting Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, if at any time a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, the following provisions shall apply so long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank: 

(a) Until such time as the Defaulting Bank ceases to be a Bank under this Agreement, it will retain its Commitment and will remain subject to
all of its obligations as a Bank hereunder, although it will be presumed that such Defaulting Bank will fail to satisfy any funding obligation and, accordingly, all other Banks hereby agree to fund L/C Borrowings in accordance with the terms hereof
and their respective Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage. 
 (b) The Fees under Section 2.11 shall cease to accrue on that portion of
such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment that remains unfunded or which has not been included in any L/C Obligations; 
 (c) A Defaulting Bank
may cease to be a Defaulting Bank as specified in the definition thereof. 
 (d) At any time during a Default Period, Agent may and upon the
direction of the Majority Banks shall, upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to the applicable Defaulting Bank (so long as such Default Period remains in effect at the end of such notice period), require such Defaulting Bank to assign all
right, title and interest that it may have in all Loans and any other Obligations of the Co-Borrowers under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to another Bank (if another Bank will consent to purchase such right, title and interest) or an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 10.07 of this Agreement, if such Eligible Assignee can be found by the Co-Borrowers, for a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Loans and any other Obligations
plus the amount of any interest and fees accrued and owing to such Defaulting Bank as of the date of such assignment. 
 (e)
with respect to any L/C Obligation that exists at the time a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or thereafter: 
 (i) all or any
part of such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage but only to the extent (x) the sum of all of the
Effective Amounts of the Non-Defaulting Banks plus such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations does not exceed the Total Available Commitment, (y) any Non-Defaulting Bank’s Effective Amount plus such Non-Defaulting
Bank’s Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage of such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Percentage of the L/C Obligations does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitment and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 of this
Agreement are satisfied at such time; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can
only partially be effected, then the Co-Borrowers shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Agent Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 3.07, for so long as such L/C Obligation is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Co-Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) and Section 3.07 then the Co-Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees for the pro 

  
 -43- 

 
rata benefit of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 3.08 with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting
Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations is Cash Collateralized; and 
 (iv) if any Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata
Share of the L/C Obligations is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(i), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Bank hereunder, all letter of credit fees
payable under this Agreement with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until such Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations is Cash Collateralized, reallocated, or repaid in
full. 
 (f) So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of
Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitment of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by Defaulting Bank or the Co-Borrowers in accordance with Section 3.07,
and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 3.03 (and the Defaulting Banks shall not participate therein). 

(g) Any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of
being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by the Agent in a segregated account and subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Agent
hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Issuing Banks hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Letter of Credit
in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent or the Issuing Bank with the amount so funded reducing the amount the Co-Borrowers were required to Cash
Collateralize pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(ii), (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Co-Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of any Defaulting Bank
under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Co-Borrowers or the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Co-Borrowers or any Bank against such
Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that if such
payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of L/C Advances which a Defaulting Bank has funded in accordance with its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay
the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Bank. 

(h) In the event that the Agent, the Co-Borrowers and the Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase

  
 -44- 

 
at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share as though it were not a
Defaulting Bank. 
 (i) No Swap Contract entered into by a Swap Bank shall benefit from the security package provided by the Security
Documents, if at the time such Swap Contract was entered, such Swap Bank (or its Affiliate) was a Defaulting Bank. 
 (j) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included for purposes of determining the “Majority Banks.” 

ARTICLE 3 
 THE LETTERS
OF CREDIT 
 3.01 The Letter of Credit Lines. 

(a) Each Issuing Bank agrees, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Expiration Date,
to Issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Co-Borrowers under the Working Capital Line and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously Issued by it, in accordance with Subsections 3.02(c) and 3.02(d), and (B) to honor
drafts under the Letters of Credit. Each of the Banks will be deemed to have approved such Issuance, amendment or renewal, and shall participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Co-Borrowers. Subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Co-Borrowers’ ability to request that an Issuing Bank Issue Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Co-Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, request that Issuing Bank Issue Letters of
Credit to replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The parties hereto agree that effective as of the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued and maintained
under, and to be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement and shall constitute a portion of the L/C Obligations. 
 (b) No
Issuing Bank shall Issue any Letter of Credit unless Agent shall have received notice of the request for Issuance of such Letter of Credit and Agent shall have consented to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Additionally, no Issuing Bank shall Issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (i) any order,
judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date hereof,
or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 

  
 -45- 

 (ii) such Issuing Bank has received written notice from the Agent or the
Co-Borrowers, on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Article V is not then satisfied; 

(iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit is after the earlier to occur of (A) the expiry date of the
applicable L/C Sub-limit Cap for such Letter of Credit or (B) 365 days after the Expiration Date, unless all the Banks have approved such expiry date in writing; 

(iv) the expiry date of any such requested Letter of Credit is prior to the maturity date of any financial obligation to be
supported by the requested Letter of Credit; 
 (v) such requested Letter of Credit is not in form and substance acceptable
to such Issuing Bank, or the Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable policies of Issuing Bank; 

(vi) such Letter of Credit is for the purpose of supporting the Issuance of any letter of credit by any other Person other than
another Co-Borrower; 
 (vii) such Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 

(viii) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit, plus the Effective Amount of L/C Obligations relating to Letters of
Credit Issued under a particular L/C Sub-limit Cap exceeds the applicable L/C Sub-limit Cap; 
 (ix) the amount of such
requested Letter of Credit, plus the Effective Amount of all of the L/C Obligations, plus the Effective Amount of all Working Capital Loans exceeds the lesser of (A) the Borrowing Base Advance Cap determined as of the date of such request on
the basis of the Collateral Position Report most recently received by the Agent pursuant to Section 7.02(b) two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested Letter of Credit is to be Issued, or (B) the aggregate
Commitments of the Banks, or, if a Defaulting Bank exists hereunder, the Total Available Commitments; 
 (x) the amount of
such Letter of Credit would result in exposure of an Issuing Bank to exceed its Issuing Bank Sub-Limit. 
 (c) Any Letter of Credit
requested by the Co-Borrowers to be Issued hereunder may be Issued by any Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of such Issuing Bank acceptable to the Co-Borrowers, and if a Letter of Credit is Issued by an Affiliate of such Issuing Bank, such Letter of
Credit shall be treated, for all purposes of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, as if it were issued by such Issuing Bank. 

  
 -46- 

 3.02 Issuance, Amendment and Auto-extension of Letters of Credit. 

(a) Each Letter of Credit Issued hereunder shall be Issued upon the irrevocable written request of HoldCo pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in
the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 received by an Issuing Bank and the Agent by no later than 12:00 p.m. noon (New York City time) on the proposed date of Issuance. Each such
request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by electronic transfer or facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing or by electronic transfer, in the form of an L/C Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to
such Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed date of Issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address
of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. 
 (b) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is
outstanding and prior to the Expiration Date, an Issuing Bank will, upon the written request of HoldCo received by such Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by HoldCo to Agent) prior to 12:00 p.m. noon (New York City time) on the proposed date of
amendment, consider the amendment of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by electronic transfer or facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing or by electronic transfer,
made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuing Bank and Agent: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which
shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. Such Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit. 

(c) Unless a Co-Borrower has previously notified an Issuing Bank not to do so, if any outstanding Letter of Credit Issued by an Issuing Bank
shall provide that it shall be automatically extended unless the beneficiary thereof is sent a notice from such Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be extended, and if at the time of extension such Issuing Bank would be entitled to
authorize the automatic extension of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Subsection 3.02(c), then such Issuing Bank shall be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to auto-extend, and the Co-Borrowers and the Banks hereby
authorize such extension, and, accordingly, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have received instructions from the Co-Borrowers requesting such extension. 

(d) Any Issuing Bank may, at its election, deliver any notices of termination or other communications to any Letter of Credit beneficiary or
transferee, and take any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be a date not later than the Expiration Date. 

(e) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related Document (other
than any Letter of Credit). 
 (f) Each Issuing Bank will deliver to Agent a true and complete copy of each Letter of Credit or amendment to
or renewal of a Letter of Credit Issued by it. 

  
 -47- 

 3.03 Risk Participations, Drawings, Reducing Letters of Credit and Reimbursements. 

(a) Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit Issued by Issuing Bank (including in the case of each Existing Letter of Credit,
the deemed issuance with respect thereto on the Closing Date), each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing or Reducing
L/C Borrowing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit (or, if a Defaulting Bank exists, and without limitation to the obligations of such Defaulting Bank under this
Section 3.03, with respect to any Non-Defaulting Bank, its Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage, if applicable), times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing or Reducing
Letter of Credit Borrowing, respectively. For purposes of Section 2.01, each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Commitment of each Bank by an amount equal to the amount of such participation. 

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit Issued by an Issuing Bank by the beneficiary or transferee thereof,
such Issuing Bank will promptly notify HoldCo. Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or Agent pursuant to this Subsection 3.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. The Co-Borrowers shall reimburse an Issuing Bank prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on each date that any amount is paid by such Issuing Bank
under any Letter of Credit or to the beneficiary of a Reducing Letter of Credit in the form of a Reducing L/C Borrowing (each such date, an “Honor Date”), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by such Issuing Bank. In the event
the Co-Borrowers fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or of any Reducing L/C Borrowing, as the case may be, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Honor Date, such Issuing Bank will
promptly notify Agent and Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, and HoldCo shall be deemed to have requested that Working Capital Loans be made by the Banks to be disbursed to such Issuing Bank not later than one (1) Business Day after
the Honor Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Working Capital Line. 
 (c) In the event
of any request for a Reducing L/C Borrowing by HoldCo in association with any Reducing Letter of Credit, the amount available for drawing under such Reducing Letter of Credit will be reduced automatically, and without any further amendment or
endorsement to such Reducing Letter of Credit, by the amount actually paid to such beneficiary, notwithstanding the fact that the payment creating such Reducing L/C Borrowing is not made pursuant to a conforming and proper draw under the
corresponding Reducing Letter of Credit. 
 (d) Each Bank shall upon any notice pursuant to Subsection 3.03(b) make available to
Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share (or, if a Defaulting Bank exists, and without limitation to the obligations of such Defaulting Bank under this
Section 3.03, with respect to any Non-Defaulting Bank, its Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage, if applicable) of the amount of the drawing or of the Reducing L/C Borrowing, as the case may be, whereupon the participating Banks shall (subject
to Subsection 3.03(e)) each be deemed to have made a Working Capital Loan to the Co-Borrowers 

  
 -48- 

 
in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (or, if a Defaulting Bank exists, and
without limitation to the obligations of such Defaulting Bank under this Section 3.03, with respect to any Non-Defaulting Bank, its Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage, if applicable) of the amount of the drawing or of the Reducing L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Honor Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank’s obligation to make such payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Bank
makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of Agent to give any such notice on the Honor
Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations under this Section 3.03. 

(e) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing or Reducing L/C Borrowing, as the case may be, that is not converted into Working Capital Loans
in whole or in part for any reason, the Co-Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of such drawing or Reducing L/C Borrowing, as the case may be, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and each Bank’s payment to Issuing Bank pursuant to Subsection 3.03(d) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.03. 

(f) Each Bank’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Working Capital Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this
Section 3.03, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or Reducing L/C Borrowing, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the relevant Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against such Issuing Bank, the Co-Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event
of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

3.04 Repayment of Participations. 

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank of immediately available funds from the Co-Borrowers (i) in
reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit or in connection with a Reducing L/C Borrowing with respect to which any Bank has paid Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank for such Bank’s participation in
the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.03 or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, the amount of such Bank’s Pro
Rata Share (or, if a Defaulting Bank exists, and without limitation to the obligations of such Defaulting Bank under this Section 3.03, with respect to any Non-Defaulting Bank, its Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage, if applicable) of such
funds, and such Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the Pro Rata Share of such funds of any Bank that did not so pay Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank. 

  
 -49- 

 (b) If Agent or an Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Co-Borrowers, or to a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Co-Borrowers to Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank pursuant to Subsection 3.04(a) in reimbursement of
a payment made under a Letter of Credit or in connection with a Reducing L/C Borrowing or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of such Issuing Bank, forthwith return to Agent or such Issuing Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share (or,
if a Defaulting Bank exists, and without limitation to the obligations of such Defaulting Bank under this Section 3.03, with respect to any Non-Defaulting Bank, its Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage, if applicable) of any amounts so returned
by Agent or such Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Bank to Agent or such Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

 3.05 Role of the Issuing Banks. 

(a) Each Bank and the Co-Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit or funding any Reducing L/C Borrowing, no
Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft or certificates expressly required by such Letter of Credit, but with respect to Reducing Letter of Credit Borrowings, no document of any kind need be
obtained) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. 

(b) No Agent Related Person, Issuing Bank or Bank shall be liable for: (i) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct; or (ii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any L/C-Related Document. 

(c) The Co-Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter
of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Co-Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement. No Affiliate of any Issuing Bank or Bank, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Bank or Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through
(g) of Section 3.06; provided, however, anything in such clauses or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Co-Borrowers may have a claim against an Issuing Bank or a Bank, and such Issuing Bank or
Bank may be liable to the Co-Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Co-Borrowers which the Co-Borrowers prove were caused by such Issuing Bank or Bank’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms
and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) an Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) an Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

  
 -50- 

 3.06 Obligations Absolute. The Obligations of the Co-Borrowers under this Agreement and
any L/C-Related Document to reimburse an Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit or for a Reducing L/C Borrowing, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit or Reducing
L/C Borrowing converted into Working Capital Loans, shall be joint and several, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other
L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (a) any lack of validity
or enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C-Related Document; 
 (b) any change in the time,
manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Co-Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C-Related Documents; 
 (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Co-Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; 

(d) any draft, demand, certificate or 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit; 

(e) any payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with
the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other
representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding; 

(f) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Co-Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit; or 
 (g) any other circumstance or
happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Co-Borrowers. 

  
 -51- 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06, no Issuing Banks shall
be excused from liability to the Co-Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, indirect and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Co-Borrowers) suffered by the Co-Borrowers that are
caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, provided, however, that the parties hereto
expressly agree that: 
 (i) the Issuing Banks may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance
with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

ARTICLE 4 
 TAXES, YIELD
PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 4.01 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding
for any Taxes, except as required by a Requirement of Law. If any Requirement of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an
applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Co-Borrowers 

  
 -53- 

 
shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (b) The
Co-Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse the Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
the Co-Borrowers by a Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to
such Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to
comply with the provisions of Section 10.08(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any
Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (d). 
 (e) Within 30 days after the date
of any payment by the Co-Borrowers of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Co-Borrowers shall furnish the Banks the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Banks. 

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to 

  
 -54- 

 
such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that
such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund
had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. 

4.02 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 

(a) If a Bank determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change after the date hereof in or in the interpretation of
any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by the Bank with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in
the cost to the Bank in the cost of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or to Issue, Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Co-Borrowers shall be liable for, and
shall from time to time, upon demand, pay to such Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased costs. 

(b) If a Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any guideline, request, directive, law, rule or regulation effective
after the date hereof, (ii) any change in any guideline request, directive, law, rule or regulation after the date hereof, (iii) after the date hereof, any change in the interpretation or administration of any guideline, request or
directive of any central bank or other Governmental Authority, or any other law, rule or regulation, whether or not having the force of law, in each case, regarding capital adequacy or liquidity of the Bank or of any corporation controlling the
Bank, or (iv) the compliance by the Bank (or its lending office) or any corporation controlling the Bank with any such guideline request, directive, law, rule or regulation effective after the date hereof, affects or would affect the amount of
capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank and (taking into consideration the Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and the
Bank’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased as a consequence of its loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement (excluding for the purposes of this Section 4.02 any
such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from Excluded Taxes under the laws of which such Bank or Issuing Bank is organized or has its lending office), then, upon demand of such Bank to the Co-Borrowers, the Co-Borrowers shall pay to
such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increase. 

  
 -55- 

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law for purposes of this Section 4.02,
regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 
 4.03 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Bank (with a copy to the
Agent) from time to time, the Co-Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Bank for and hold such Bank harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (b) any failure by any Co-Borrower (for
a reason other than the failure of such Bank to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Co-Borrower; or 

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefore as a result of a request by any
Co-Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16; 
 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Co-Borrowers to the Banks under this Section 4.03, each Bank shall be deemed to
have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 4.04 Illegality. 

(a) If any Bank determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation
or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on
notice thereof by such Bank to the Co-Borrowers through the Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Bank notifies the
Agent and the Co-Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 

  
 -56- 

 (b) If a Bank determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the
Co-Borrowers shall, upon receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full, without premium or penalty, such Eurodollar Rate Loans of that Bank then outstanding, together with interest accrued
thereon either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If the
Co-Borrowers are required to so prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Co-Borrowers may, but shall not be required to, borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan at the sole
discretion of the Co-Borrowers. 
 4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If (a) the Agent (or any Bank) determines in connection
with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks (or such Bank) in the applicable offshore Dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period
of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) if the Agent (or any Bank) determines that the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan
does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks (or such Bank) of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (b) the Agent (or any Bank) determines in connection with any request for a COF Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that that the COF Rate for such COF Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such COF Rate Loan, then the Agent will promptly notify the Co-Borrowers and all Banks. Thereafter, the obligation of the
Banks to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended until all of the Banks revoke such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Co-Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion,
or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans, as applicable, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or COF Rate Loans, as applicable, in the amount specified
therein. 
 4.06 Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Co-Borrowers shall pay to each Bank, as long as such Bank shall be required
under regulations of the FRB to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency Liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by the Bank (as determined by the Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), payable on each date on which interest is payable
on such Loan, provided, however, that the Co-Borrowers shall have received at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Agent) of such additional interest from the Bank. If a Bank fails to give notice 15 days prior
to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable 15 days from receipt of such notice. 
 4.07
Certificates of Bank. If a Bank claims reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV, it shall deliver to the Co-Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Bank hereunder and the
basis for same and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Co-Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. 
 4.08
Survival. The agreements and Obligations of the Co-Borrowers in this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

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. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, 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 Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties. 
 (b) Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents
associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as Agent may agree at the request of the Banks to act for Issuing Bank with respect thereto; provided, however, that Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and
agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article IX included Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally
provided herein with respect to Issuing Bank. Prior to the Issuance of a Letter of Credit or upon the payment of any drawing on a Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank other than Agent, Issuing Bank shall provide written notice to Agent of the dollar
amount, the date of such Issuance of payment and the expiry date for such Letter of Credit. Such Issuance shall be subject to the consent of Agent. Such consent shall not result in the imposition of any liability upon Agent. 

9.02 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with
reasonable care. 
 9.03 Liability of Agent. None of Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of
the Banks for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Co-Borrowers or any Subsidiary

or Affiliate of the Co-Borrowers, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value of or title to any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Co-Borrowers or any other party to any Loan Document to perform their obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to the Banks to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Co-Borrowers or any of the
Co-Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(a) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, 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 counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in 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 Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 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 Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks. 
 (b) For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5.02, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other
matter either sent by Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Banks. 

9.05 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Banks, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Co-Borrowers referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as may be requested by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.

 9.06 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that none of Agent-Related Persons has made
any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related
Person to any Bank. Each Bank represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, the value of and title to any Collateral, 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 Loan Parties hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein
required to be furnished to the Banks by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of any of Agent-Related Persons. 
 9.07 Indemnification.
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan
Parties to do so as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, if so provided), pro rata in accordance with each Bank’s Pro Rata Share (or if a Defaulting Bank exists, and without limitation to the obligations of such
Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, with respect to each Non-Defaulting Bank, its Pro Rata Adjusted Percentage), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to
Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation
of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
THE FORGOING INDEMNITY INCLUDES AN INDEMNITY FOR THE NEGLIGENCE OF AGENT-RELATED PERSONS. 
 9.08 Agent in Individual Capacity.
Société Générale and its 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 

  
 -86- 

 
with the Co-Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Société Générale were not Agent or Issuing Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of the
Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Société Générale or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Co-Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of the Co-Borrowers or such Affiliates) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Société Générale shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent or Issuing Bank, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Société Générale
in its individual capacity. 
 9.09 Successor Agent. Agent may at any time and shall, if Agent becomes a Defaulting Bank, resign as
Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Banks. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Banks shall appoint, from among the Banks, a successor agent for the Banks. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks, a successor agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the
duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 
 9.10 Foreign
Banks. 
 (a) Any Foreign Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Loan Parties and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable loan Party or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Loan Party
or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Foreign Bank, if reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Agent as will enable such Loan Party or the Agent to determine whether or not such Foreign Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 9.10 (b)(i), and (b)(iii) below) shall not be
required if in the Foreign Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Foreign Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Foreign Bank. 

  
 -87- 

 (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(i) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Loan Parties and the Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Loan Party or the Agent),
whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the
beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (ii)
Any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Loan Parties and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by an applicable Requirement of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in 

  
 -88- 

 
U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Requirements of Law to permit the applicable Loan Party or the Agent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (iii) If a payment made to a Foreign Bank under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Foreign Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Foreign Bank shall deliver to the Loan Parties and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Loan Party or the Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Loan Party or the Agent as may be necessary for such Loan Party and the Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Foreign Bank has complied with such Foreign Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause
(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (iv) Each Foreign Bank
agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Loan Parties and the Agent in writing of its legal inability
to do so. 
 9.11 Collateral Matters. 

(a) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Banks and the Swap Banks, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the
Banks or the Swap Banks, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to
the Loan Documents. 
 (b) The Banks and the Swap Banks irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any
Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of this Agreement, termination of all Swap Contracts with such Persons (other than Swap Contracts as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable counterparty
in its sole discretion have been made), termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion have been made), and the payment in full of all
outstanding Obligations; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary owned no
interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or
is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary to be, renewed or extended; (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced
thereby has been paid in full; (vi) in POR Collateral to 

  
 -89- 

 
the extent the release of the Agent’s Lien in such POR Collateral is required by the applicable POR Agreement or any Requirement of Law; or (vii) if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the requisite Banks in accordance with Section 10.01. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Subsection 9.11(b); provided, however, that the absence of any such confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the Agent’s rights under this Section 9.11. 

9.12 Monitoring Responsibility. Each Bank will make its own credit decisions hereunder, including the decision whether or not to make
advances or consent to the Issuance of Letters of Credit, thus the Agent shall have no duty to monitor the Collateral Position, the amounts outstanding under sub-lines or the reporting requirements or the contents of reports delivered by the Loan
Parties. Each Bank assumes the responsibility of keeping itself informed at all times. 
 9.13 Swap Banks. To the extent any
Affiliate of a Bank is a party to a Swap Contract with a Co-Borrower and thereby becomes a beneficiary of the Liens pursuant to the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such Affiliate of a Bank shall be deemed to appoint the Agent its
nominee and agent to act for and on behalf of such Affiliate (and the Agent hereby accepts such nomination and agrees to act as agent for such Affiliate) in connection with the Security Documents and such other Loan Documents and to be bound by the
terms of this Article IX. 
 9.14 Other Agents; Arrangers. None of the Banks or other Persons identified on the facing
page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” as a “documentation agent,” any other type of agent (other than the Agent), “arranger,” or “bookrunner” shall have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

 10.02 Notices. 

(a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile
transmission, e-mail, electronic submissions or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Bank, in its administrative
questionnaire provided by each such Bank to Agent, and Agent shall promptly provide such address to Co-Borrowers) or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Agent and
Co-Borrowers; provided, that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by e-mail or other electronic submissions only in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(b). Each such notice, request or other

opening of business on the next Business Day. 
 (d) Any agreement of the Banks herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile
is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Co-Borrowers. The Banks shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Co-Borrowers to give such notice and the Banks shall not have any
liability to the Co-Borrowers or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Banks in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Co-Borrowers to repay the Loans

  
 -92- 

 
and L/C Obligations shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Banks to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Banks
of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Banks to be contained in the telephonic or facsimile notice. 
 (e)
Parent and Co-Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) Agent will make available to the Banks and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Parent, Co-Borrowers and their Affiliates hereunder (collectively,
“Borrower Materials”) by posting within a reasonable time after receipt from Parent or the Co-Borrowers such Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) (or, to the extent
Borrower Materials are not timely delivered to Agent, that such Borrower Materials have not yet been received by Agent) and (b) certain of the Banks (each, a “Public Bank”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to Parent, Co-Borrowers or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’
securities. Parent and Co-Borrowers hereby agree that (c) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Banks, which are deemed by Parent and Co-Borrowers to be materials available to be released to the public, shall be clearly
and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (d) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Parent and Co-Borrowers shall
be deemed to have authorized Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state
securities laws; (e) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (f) Agent shall be entitled to treat any
Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”. 

(f) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY
OR COMPLETENESS OF BORROWER MATERIALS (AS DEFINED BELOW) OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Agent or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees or advisors (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability
to Parent, Co-Borrowers, any Bank, Issuing Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Parent’s, any Co-Borrower’s or Agent’s
transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Parent, any Co-Borrower, any Bank, the Issuing Banks or any other Person for
indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of any such transmission. 

  
 -93- 

 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising,
on the part of the Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
 10.04 Costs and Expenses. Parent
and the Co-Borrowers shall: 
 (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, pay or reimburse Agent within five
(5) Business Days after demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the development, preparation, delivery, administration and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each
case, whether or not consummated), this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including reasonable Attorney Costs
and costs of commercial finance examinations, incurred by Agent; and 
 (b) Pay or reimburse the Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Banks
within five (5) Business Days after demand for all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by it in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document during the existence of an Event of Default or after acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any “workout” or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate
proceeding). 
 (c) The agreements in this Section shall survive payments of all other Obligations. 

10.05 Indemnity. Whether not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Parent and the Co-Borrowers, jointly and severally,
shall indemnify and hold the Agent, the Banks, the Issuing Banks, and each of their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination of the
Letters of Credit) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action
taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of
this Agreement or the Loans or Letters of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that Parent and the Co-Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any such indemnified Person with respect to any of the
foregoing indemnified liabilities found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section shall
survive payment of all Obligations. 

  
 -94- 

 10.06 Joint and Several Liability of the Co-Borrowers. 

(a) Each Co-Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, the Co-Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing
potential on a combined basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) each Co-Borrower has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this
Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Agent and the Banks hereunder and a desire of each Co-Borrower that each Co-Borrower execute and deliver to the Agent and the Banks this Agreement; and (iv) each
Co-Borrower has requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the Credit Extensions contemplated by this Agreement. The board of directors or similar governing body of each Co-Borrower has determined that such
Co-Borrower’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement may reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly benefit such Co-Borrower and is in the best interests of such Co-Borrower. 

(b) Each Co-Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Agent, each
Issuing Bank, and the Banks for the full and prompt payment and performance of the obligations of each Co-Borrower under this Agreement that may specify that a particular Co-Borrower is responsible for a given payment or performance;
(ii) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made directly to it; and (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Agent,
each Issuing Bank, and each Bank, on demand, for and against any loss incurred by the Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Bank as a result of any of the Obligations of any Co-Borrower being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for
any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to such Co-Borrower or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the Agent, the Issuing Banks, or the Banks (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the
Co-Borrowers. 
 (c) The direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by any Co-Borrower in connection herewith
is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of each such Co-Borrower hereunder and the incurrence of such liability and Obligations in return for such consideration may reasonably be expected to benefit such Co-Borrower,
directly or indirectly. 
 10.07 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, except that the Co-Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the Banks. 

(b) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Co-Borrowers, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Banks, and the 

  
 -95- 

 
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Co-Borrower, the Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if at any time any Issuing Bank assigns all of its Loans pursuant
to Section 10.08, then such Issuing Bank shall, upon 30 days’ notice to the Co-Borrowers and the Banks, and (ii) any Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Co-Borrowers and the Banks, resign as an Issuing
Bank. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Co-Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Banks a successor Issuing Bank to such Issuing Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Co-Borrowers to
appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall retain all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to (i) all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and (ii) all L/C Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit (including the right to require the Banks to make Loans or fund participations in L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 3.03).

 10.08 Assignments, Participants, etc. 

(a) Each Bank, at any time, may, subject to the consent of the Agent and each Issuing Bank, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Co-Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, assign and delegate all, or any ratable part of all, of the rights and obligations of such Bank hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided,
however, that the consent of the Co-Borrowers shall not be required with respect to an assignment from a Bank to one or more of its Affiliates or with respect to the assignment from one Bank to another Bank; provided, further,
that (i) any such disposition shall not, without the prior consent of the Co-Borrowers, require the Co-Borrowers to apply to register or qualify the Loans or any Note under the securities laws of any state, (ii) Co-Borrowers and the Agent
may continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the interest so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until (x) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with
respect to the Eligible Assignee, shall have been given to the Co-Borrowers and the Agent by such Bank and the Eligible Assignee; (y) such Bank and its Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Co-Borrowers and the Agent an Assignment and
Assumption (“Assignment and Assumption”) in form attached hereto as Exhibit I, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; and (z) the assignor Bank or Eligible Assignee has paid to the Agent a
processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Bank) and (iii) each such assignment to an Eligible Assignee (other than any Bank) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof (other than in the case of (A) an assignment of all of a Bank’s interests under this Agreement or (B) an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Bank), and provided,
further, that such an assignment may not be made to any Co-Borrower or an Affiliate thereof. 
 (b) From and after the date that a
Bank gives such notice to the Co-Borrowers, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations 

  
 -96- 

 
hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Bank
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

 (c) The Co-Borrowers shall execute and deliver new Notes evidencing such assignee’s assigned Loans and the Commitment, and, if the
assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans and the Commitment, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans and the Commitment retained by the assignor Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by
the Bank). Upon receipt by the applicable Banks of the new Notes, the applicable Banks shall promptly deliver the original Notes to the Co-Borrowers. This Agreement shall be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of the assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment arising therefrom. The Commitment of allocated to each assignee shall reduce such Commitment of the assigning Bank pro tanto. 

(d) Each Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Co-Borrowers (each, a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loans and the Commitment of such Bank and the other interests of such Bank (the “Originating Bank”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that the Co-Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Bank in connection with the Originating Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Originating Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Originating Bank 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 Originating Bank will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.01(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) that affects such Participant. Each Co-Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant
(A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01 or 4.02, with respect to
any participation, than its Originating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Requirements of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation. Each Bank that sells a participation agrees, at the Co-Borrowers’ request, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Co-Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.16 with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Bank; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Bank.
Each Originating Bank shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Co-Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan 

  
 -97- 

 
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its
capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (e) Each Bank agrees to take normal and
reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as “confidential” or “secret” by the Co-Borrowers and provided to it by the Co-Borrowers under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Bank or any of its representatives, (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Co-Borrowers, provided that such
source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Co-Borrowers known to such Bank, or (iii) any information internally developed by a Bank or its employees without the use of confidential or secret information furnished by any of the
Co-Borrowers; provided, however, that each Bank may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of
such Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with any litigation or proceeding to which such Bank or its Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Bank’s
independent auditors and other professional advisors who are under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such information; (G) to any Affiliate of such Bank and to the Bank’s and such Affiliates’ respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, consultants and counsel, for whom such Bank shall be responsible, or to any participant or assignee, actual or potential, any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any securitization, swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Co-Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and the Obligations; provided, however, that such Affiliate, participant or assignee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of such Bank
hereunder, (H) to any credit insurer or reinsurer and (I) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Co-Borrowers are party or are deemed party with such Bank. 

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Bank 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 Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. 

  
 -98- 

 10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, if an
Event of Default exists, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks are authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Loan Parties, any such notice being waived by the Loan Parties 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, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks to or for the credit or the account of
the Loan Parties against any and all Obligations, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Banks shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may
be contingent or unmatured. The Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks agree promptly to notify the Co-Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Banks; provided, however, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. 

10.11 Automatic Debit. With respect to any commitment, fee, arrangement fee, letter of credit fee or other fee, or any other cost or
expense (including Attorney Costs) due and payable to the Agent, the Issuing Banks, or the Banks under the Loan Documents, the Co-Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to debit any deposit account of Co-Borrowers with the Agent in an
amount such that the aggregate amount debited from all such deposit accounts does not exceed such fee or other cost or expense. If there are insufficient funds in such deposit accounts to cover the amount of the fee or the cost or expense then due,
such debits will be reversed (in whole or in part, in Agent’s sole discretion) and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid. No such debit under this Section shall be deemed a set-off. 

10.12 Bank Blocked Account Charges and Procedures. Agent is hereby authorized to charge any deposit account of the Co-Borrowers or any
of them maintained at Agent for any fee, cost or expense (including Attorney Costs) due and payable to the Banks under the Loan Documents. If the available balances in such deposit accounts are not sufficient to compensate the Banks for any such
charges or fees due the Banks, the Co-Borrowers agree to pay on demand the amount due the Banks. Each of the Co-Borrowers agrees that it will not permit the Bank Blocked Accounts to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, Lien, charge or
encumbrance of any kind, nature or description, other than the Banks’ security interest or any Lien the bank where such Bank Blocked Accounts are held may have. 

10.13 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 

10.14 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Loan Parties
and the Banks and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. 

  
 -99- 

 10.15 Acknowledgments. Parent and the Co-Borrowers hereby acknowledge that: 

(a) they have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(b) the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks have no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks on the one hand and the Loan Parties on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtors and
creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
contemplated hereby among the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Banks and the Loan Parties. 
 10.16 Replacement of Banks. If any Bank
requests compensation under Section 4.02, or if any Co-Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 4.01, or in connection with
any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.01, the consent of the Majority Banks shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more
of such other Banks whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, or with respect to any Bank during such time as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, then the Co-Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the
Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.08), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(a) Such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.03) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees); 
 (b) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.02 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling a Co-Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

  
 -100- 

 10.17 GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS

DOCUMENTS, EMBODIES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO, AND SUPERCEDES ALL PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF SUCH PERSONS, VERBAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF.

Intercreditor Agreement and will otherwise be bound by and take no actions contrary to the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 10.21 USA Patriot
Act Notice. Each Bank and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies Parent and each Co-Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the

provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of CEA Swap Obligations, if any (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor
shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under any Loan Document, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for

FORM OF NOTE 
  

					
	$            	  	 	                 , 20    	  

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SPARK HOLDCO, LLC (“HoldCo”), a Delaware limited liability
company, SPARK ENERGY, LLC (“Spark”), a Texas limited liability company, and SPARK ENERGY GAS, LLC (“SEG”), a Texas limited liability company (jointly, severally and together, the
“Co-Borrowers,” and each individually, a “Co-Borrower”), jointly and severally promise to pay to
                    , a                     
(“Bank”), at the office of Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined below) or at such other place as Bank from time to time may designate, the principal sum of
                     and no/100 Dollars ($        ) (the “Maximum Loan Amount”), or so
much of that sum as may be advanced under this promissory note (“Note”), plus interest as specified in this Note. This Note evidences a loan (“Loan”) from Bank to the Co-Borrowers. 

This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated effective as of August 1, 2014, among Spark Energy, Inc., the
Co-Borrowers and Bank, et al. (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the
meaning ascribed to such term in the Credit Agreement. Some or all of the Loan Documents, including the Credit Agreement, contain provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note. 

This Note shall bear interest as is provided for in the Credit Agreement. 

Principal and accrued interest hereunder shall be due and payable as is provided for in the Credit Agreement. 

The Co-Borrowers may prepay the principal under this Note only in accordance with the Credit Agreement. 

If any Event of Default occurs, Bank shall have all remedies provided for under the terms of the Credit Agreement. 

All amounts payable under this Note are payable in lawful money of the United States during normal business hours of Agent at the office of
Agent indicated in paragraph one above or at such other place as Agent from time to time may designate. Checks constitute payment only when collected. 

Whenever the Co-Borrowers are obligated to pay or reimburse Bank for any attorneys’ fees, those fees shall include the reasonably
allocated costs for services of in-house counsel. 

  
 Exhibit B 

 THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW (WITHOUT REFERENCE
TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE BANKS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING
UNDER FEDERAL LAW. 
 The Co-Borrowers agree that the holder of this Note may accept additional or substitute security for this Note, or
release any security or any party liable for this Note, and without affecting the liability of any Co-Borrower. 
 If Bank delays in
exercising or fails to exercise any of its rights under this Note, that delay or failure shall not constitute a waiver of any of Bank’s rights, or of any breach, default or failure of condition of or under this Note. No waiver by Bank of any of
its rights, or of any such breach, default or failure of condition shall be effective, unless the waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Bank. All of Bank’s remedies in connection with this Note or under applicable law shall be
cumulative, and Bank’s exercise of any one or more of those remedies shall not constitute an election of remedies. 
 Regardless of any
provision contained in this Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, Bank shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Loan, pursuant to this Note or any other Loan Document, or
otherwise, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, in the event that Bank ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, and, if the principal balance of the Loan is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Co-Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest
paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Co-Borrowers and Bank shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium,
rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term;
provided, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual term thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Bank shall refund to the Co-Borrowers
the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the time in question. 

This Note inures to and binds the successors and assigns of the Co-Borrowers and Bank; provided, however, that the Co-Borrowers
may not assign this Note or assign or delegate any of their rights or obligations except as permitted under the Credit Agreement. 
 As used
in this Note, the terms “Bank,” “holder” and “holder of this Note” are interchangeable. As used in this Note, the word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word
“including” means “including, but not limited to.” 

  
 Exhibit B 

 THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT AGREEMENT REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
