 Exhibit 10.20: Morse Employment Letter 
 [Yahoo! Letterhead] 
 June 5, 2009 
 Timothy Morse 
 [address] 
 Dear
Tim: 
 On behalf of Yahoo! Inc. (“Yahoo!” or the “Company”), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer,
reporting to Yahoo!’s Chief Executive Officer, Carol Bartz. Your appointment is subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and your compensation package as outlined herein is subject to approval of the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”). For purposes of this letter, your first day of work at Yahoo! will be considered your “Employment Start Date”. 
 Base Salary. Your starting annual base salary will be $41,666.67 per month ($500,000 annually), less applicable taxes and withholdings, paid semi-monthly and subject to annual review. 
 Executive Incentive Plan. If your Employment Start Date is on or before October 1, 2009, you also will be eligible to participate in the Executive Incentive
Plan (EIP), with a target incentive of 100% of your annual base salary less applicable taxes, deductions, and withholdings. Target incentives do not constitute a promise of payment. Your actual EIP payout will depend on Yahoo! financial performance
and management’s assessment of your individual performance, and it is subject to, and governed by, the terms and requirements of the EIP document. Eligibility for participation in the EIP is subject to annual review. 
 Sign-On Bonus. You also will receive a sign-on bonus of $500,000, less applicable taxes and withholdings, to be paid within 30 days of your
Employment Start Date. If during the first twelve (12) months following your Employment Start Date you voluntarily resign from your employment with Yahoo! or your employment with Yahoo! is terminated by Yahoo! with Cause1, then this sign-on bonus will become due and payable by you to Yahoo! on your last day of
employment. 
 Stock Options. As a part of the Yahoo! team, we strongly believe that ownership of the Company by Yahoos is an important factor to our
success. Therefore, as part of your compensation, management will recommend that the Compensation Committee grant you an option to purchase 400,000 shares of 
  
  

	1
	 For purposes of this letter, “Cause” shall mean termination of your employment with the Company based upon the occurrence of one or more of the following
which, with respect to clauses (1), (2) and (3) below, if curable, you have not cured within fourteen (14) days after you receive written notice from the Company specifying with reasonable particularity such
occurrence: (1) your refusal or material failure to perform your job duties and responsibilities (other than by reason of your serious physical or mental illness, injury or medical condition), (2) your failure or refusal to comply in
any material respect with material Company policies or lawful directives, (3) your material breach of any contract or agreement between you and the Company (including but not limited to this letter agreement and any Employee Confidentiality and
Assignment of Inventions Agreement or similar agreement between you and the Company), or your material breach of any statutory duty, fiduciary duty or any other obligation that you owe to the Company, (4) your commission of an act of fraud,
theft, embezzlement or other unlawful act against the Company or involving its property or assets or your engaging in unprofessional, unethical or other intentional acts that materially discredit the Company or are materially detrimental to the
reputation, character or standing of the Company, or (5) your indictment or conviction or nolo contendre or guilty plea with respect to any felony or crime of moral turpitude. Following notice and cure as provided in the preceding
sentence, upon any additional one-time occurrence of one or more of the events enumerated in that sentence, the Company may terminate your employment for Cause without notice and opportunity to cure. However, should the Company choose to offer
you another opportunity to cure, it shall not be deemed a waiver of its rights under this provision. 

 Yahoo! Inc.’s common stock (the “Option”). The exercise price for the Option will be the fair market value
of Yahoo! common stock on the date of grant as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of Yahoo! Inc.’s 1995 Stock Plan, as amended, and the applicable notice of stock option grant and
stock option agreement (which will include the stock option vesting schedule), and vesting of the Option is contingent on your continued employment with Yahoo! through each vesting date. Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, twenty-five
percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Option will vest on the first anniversary of your Employment Start Date. Thereafter, one-eighth of the shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable every six months, such that the
Option will be fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the Employment Start Date. 
 Restricted Stock Units. In addition,
management will also recommend that the Compensation Committee grant you an award of 150,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Yahoo! Inc. 1995 Stock Plan, as amended, and the applicable restricted
stock unit award agreement. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, the RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, provided that you have been continuously employed with Yahoo! through such date. If, however, during
the first twelve (12) months after your Employment Start Date your employment with Yahoo! is terminated by Yahoo! without Cause (as defined above), then 50,000 RSUs will vest (and the balance shall terminate) as of the date your employment with
Yahoo! terminates, and payment of the vested RSUs will be satisfied promptly and in no event later than 2 1/2 months
following the date your employment with Yahoo! terminates. If your employment with Yahoo! is terminated by Yahoo! without Cause (as defined above) after the one (1) year anniversary of your Employment Start Date and prior to the third
anniversary of the grant date of the RSUs, then you will receive pro-rata accelerated vesting of 4,166.66 RSUs for each full month worked at Yahoo! after the grant date of the RSUs (and the balance shall terminate) as of the date your employment
with Yahoo! terminates, and payment of the vested RSUs will be satisfied promptly and in no event later than 2 1/2 months
following the date your employment with Yahoo! terminates. Any fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Following the vesting of the RSUs, you will receive one share of Yahoo! Inc. common stock as payment for each vested
RSU (subject to tax withholding). 
 Benefits. A significant part of your total compensation at Yahoo! is derived from the benefits that
Yahoo! provides. Yahoo! provides a very competitive benefits package for its eligible full- and part-time employees. Eligible Yahoos may participate in Yahoo!’s health insurance benefits (medical, dental and vision), life insurance, short term
and long term disability, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 401(k) Plan, and Yahoo!’s Flexible Spending Plan (Healthcare Reimbursement Account and/or Dependent Care Reimbursement Account). Yahoos working less than 40 hours per week may not be
eligible for all benefit programs or certain benefits may be provided on a pro-rated basis. Please refer to benefit plan documents for eligibility. Of course, Yahoo! may change its benefits at any time. Prior to your Employment Start Date,
you will be provided a website address and logon instructions to access detailed information about Yahoo! benefits programs, including the plan documents.  
 Paid Time Off. You will accrue vacation at a rate of fifteen (15) days for the first year of your employment at Yahoo!. Thereafter, you will accrue vacation at the regular Yahoo! vacation accrual rate (up
to the maximum as specified in our Vacation Policy). Vacation is accrued based on hours worked, therefore Yahoos who work a part-time schedule accrue vacation on a pro-rata basis. In addition, Yahoo! currently provides eligible employees with
ten (10) paid holidays and two (2) personal floating holidays each year. 
 Proprietary Agreement and No Conflict with Prior Agreements. As
an employee of Yahoo!, it is likely that you will become knowledgeable about confidential and/or proprietary information related to the operations, products and services of Yahoo! and its clients. Similarly, you may have confidential or
proprietary information from prior employers that should not be used or disclosed to anyone at Yahoo!. Therefore, Yahoo! requests that you read, complete, and sign the enclosed Employee Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement
(“Proprietary Agreement”) and the Proprietary Information Obligations Checklist and return it to Yahoo! prior to your Employment Start Date. In addition, Yahoo! requests that you comply with any existing and/or continuing contractual
obligations that you may have with your former employers. By signing this offer letter, you represent that your employment with Yahoo! shall not breach any agreement you have with any third party. 

 Obligations. During your employment, you shall devote your full business efforts and time to Yahoo!. This
obligation, however, shall not preclude you from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable or religious activities or from serving on the boards of directors of one or two companies that are not competitors to Yahoo!, as long the activities do not
materially interfere or conflict with your responsibilities to, or your ability to perform your duties of employment by, Yahoo! under this Agreement. Any outside activities must be in compliance with and approved if required by Yahoo!’s Code of
Ethics. 
 Non-competition. In addition to the obligations specified in the Proprietary Agreement, you agree that, during your employment with Yahoo!
you will not engage in, or have any direct or indirect interest in any person, firm, corporation or business (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant, partner or otherwise) that is competitive with the
business of Yahoo!, including, without limitation, any then-current activities relating to providing Internet navigational products or services and any then-current activities providing search, e-mail, chat, e-commerce, instant messaging, content
(e.g., music, video), ISP (e.g., connectivity, bandwidth or storage) or other Internet-based delivery or functionality. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, you may own not more than 1% of the securities of any company whose securities are
publicly traded. 
 Employment At-Will. Please understand that this letter does not constitute a contract of employment for any specific period of
time, but will create an employment at-will relationship that may be terminated at any time by you or Yahoo!, with or without cause and with or without advance notice. The at-will nature of the employment relationship may not be modified or amended
except by written agreement signed by Yahoo!’s Chief Human Resources Officer and you. 
 Code of Ethics and Yahoo! Policies. Yahoo! is committed
to creating a positive work environment and conducting business ethically. As an employee of Yahoo!, you will be expected to abide by the Company’s policies and procedures including, but not limited to, Yahoo!’s Guide2Working@Y! and
Yahoo!’s Code of Ethics. Yahoo! requests that you review, sign and bring with you on your Employment Start Date, the enclosed Code of Ethics Acknowledgment Form. 
 Entire Agreement. This offer letter and the referenced documents and agreements constitute the entire agreement between you and Yahoo! with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior
or contemporaneous oral or written representations, understandings, agreements or communications between you and Yahoo! concerning those subject matters. 
 Work Authorization/Visa. If you are in need of a work authorization, please let our Staffing Coordinator know at the time that you accept this offer. Please note that the number of employment visas available each year is limited by
the U.S. government. In the event that your request for or extension of an employment visa is denied or an employment visa cannot be obtained within a reasonable amount of time (as determined by Yahoo!, in its sole discretion), Yahoo! reserves the
right to withdraw or suspend this offer and/or your employment may be terminated (or if your employment has not begun, you may not become employed by Yahoo!). In the event that Yahoo! has agreed to sponsor you for an employment visa, Yahoo! will
cover all expenses associated with the visa application process. 
 Eligibility to Work in the United States. In order for Yahoo! to comply with
United States law, we ask that on your Employment Start Date you bring to Yahoo! appropriate documentation to verify your authorization to work in the United States. Yahoo! may not employ anyone who cannot provide documentation showing that they are
legally authorized to work in the United States. 
 Foreign National Export License. Before releasing certain export-controlled technology and
software to you during your employment at Yahoo!, Yahoo! may be required to obtain an export license in accordance with United States law. Yahoo! will inform you if an export license is needed. If an export license is required, then this offer of
employment and/or your continued employment (if applicable) with Yahoo! is contingent upon receipt of the export license or authorization, and Yahoo! will have no obligation to employ you or provide you with any compensation or benefits until the
export license or authorization is secured. 

 Background Check. Please understand that this offer is contingent upon the successful completion of your
background check. 
 Accepting this Offer. We hope you will say yes quickly, however, we’ll give you until 5:00 p.m. (PST) on
06/    /09 to accept this offer. This offer is contingent on you starting employment at Yahoo! on or before 06/30/2009 or a date mutually agreed upon between you and the Company. To accept this offer, please sign
this letter in the space provided below and fax it, the signed Proprietary Agreement, and the signed Proprietary Information Obligations Checklist to Elizabeth Brown at 408-349-7498. Please also mail the original signed offer letter, the signed
Proprietary Agreement and the signed Proprietary Information Obligations Checklist to Elizabeth Brown in the envelope provided. A second copy of each document has been provided for you to keep for your records. 
 Day 1: After your acceptance is received, your Recruiter/Coordinator will email you information about New Hire Orientation. If you will not be starting on a
Monday coinciding with orientation, please make arrangements with me to complete the necessary eligibility to work and payroll forms on your Employment Start Date. 
 We can’t wait to start working with you and hope that you’ll find working at Yahoo! one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, both professionally and personally.

(the “Borrower”), BLACKSTONE HOLDINGS I L.P., BLACKSTONE HOLDINGS II L.P., BLACKSTONE HOLDINGS III L.P. and BLACKSTONE HOLDINGS IV L.P., as Guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”), the LENDERS party hereto and
CITIBANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 
 The Loan Parties have requested
that the Lenders and the Swingline Lender (such terms and each capitalized term not otherwise defined having the meanings assigned in Section 1.01) extend credit in the form of revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, respectively, in order to
enable the Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to borrow on a revolving credit basis, at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of
$850,000,000 (as such amount may be increased in accordance herewith). 
 Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 
 SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 
 “ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 
 “Accession Agreement” has the meaning assigned to
such term in Section 2.18. 
 “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest
Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 
 “Administrative Agent” has the meaning assigned to such term in the caption hereof. 
 “Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. 
 “Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified, provided that, in any event, any Person that owns directly or indirectly 15% or more of the securities having voting power 

 
for the election of directors or other governing body of a corporation or 15% or more of the partnership or other ownership interests of any other Person
(other than as a limited partner or non-voting member of such other Person) will be deemed to Control such corporation or other Person.

commencing on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this definition the Adjusted LIBO Rate on any day shall be based on the
rate per annum appearing on the Reuters “LIBOR01” screen displaying British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates (or on any successor or substitute page) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to
such day for deposits in dollars with a maturity of one month. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective
date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as the case may be. 
 “Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages
shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments. 
 “Applicable
Rate” means, for any day, 3.250% with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing, 2.250% with respect to any ABR Borrowing and 0.500% with respect to the commitment fees payable hereunder. 
 “Approved Electronic Communication” means each Communication that any Loan Party is obligated to, or otherwise chooses to (but, with
respect to Communications a Loan Party is not obligated to provide, only if such Loan Party has authorized such Communication to be treated as an Approved Electronic Communication), provide to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or

respect to delivery of any such Communication by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and without limiting or otherwise affecting either the Administrative Agent’s right to effect delivery of such Communication by posting such
Communication to the Approved Electronic Platform or the protections afforded hereby to the Administrative Agent in connection with any such posting, “Approved Electronic Communication” shall exclude (a) any Borrowing Request, request
for a Swingline Loan, Interest Election Request and any other notice, 

  

 2 

 
demand, communication, information, document or other material relating to a request for a new, or conversion of an existing, Borrowing, (b) any notice
pursuant to Section 2.09 and any other notice relating to the payment of any principal or other amount due under any Loan Document prior to the scheduled date therefor, (c) all notices of any Default, (d) any notice, demand,
communication, information, document and other material required to be delivered to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Article IV or any other condition to any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or any condition precedent
to the effectiveness of this Agreement and (e) any Communication which a Loan Party has notified the Administrative Agent is not to be treated as an Approved Electronic Communication or which is of a type that is not customarily disclosed to
lending syndicates.

to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or

amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof” and

to the intent of this Agreement as in effect prior to such restatement.

Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the

such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 (v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to
which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05.

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time after the Effective Date and during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 or (ii) the aggregate Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeding the aggregate Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding
Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day
of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender
of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 
 (c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent

 21 

 
amount of Swingline Loans in which the Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to

for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such
Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein
shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to
the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be
refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the
Swingline Lender will not be required to make any Swingline Loan, unless the Swingline Lender is satisfied that any exposure that would result therefrom is fully covered or eliminated by any combination reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline
Lender and the Borrower of the following: 
 (i) in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender is reallocated, as to outstanding and future Swingline Loans, to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as provided in clause (i) of Section 2.04(f); 
 (ii) in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, without limiting the provisions of Section 2.04(e), the Borrower Cash Collateralizes its obligations in respect of such Swingline Loan in
an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender in respect of such Swingline Loan, or makes other arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and to the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender; and 
  

 22 

 (iii) in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, by an
instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the Swingline Lender, the Borrower agrees that the principal amount of such requested Swingline Loan will be reduced by an amount equal to the
unreallocated, non-Cash Collateralized portion thereof as to which such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, in which case the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such Swingline Loan will,
subject to the first proviso below, be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.16 will be deemed adjusted to reflect this
provision; 
 provided that (i) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such
Non-Defaulting Lender and (ii) neither any such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto nor any such Cash Collateralization or reduction will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Loan Parties, the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender. 
 (e) If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, if any Swingline Loan is at the time
outstanding, the Swingline Lender may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.04(f)(i)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting
Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in respect of such Swingline Loan in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated
obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender in respect thereof or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion to protect
them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender. 
 (f) If a Lender becomes, and during the
period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender: 
 (i) the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the
Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender
as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and 
  

 23 

 (ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the
Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the
direction of the Swingline Lender), (A) Cash Collateralize its obligations to the Swingline Lender in respect of such Swingline Exposure in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Swingline
Exposure, (B) prepay (subject to Section 2.21(a)) or Cash Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion thereof or (C) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the Swingline Lender in their
sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender. 
 (g) In furtherance of the foregoing, if any
Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its
discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Borrowing Requests pursuant to Section 2.03 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to repay an outstanding Swingline Loan. 
 SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, prior to the proposed time) of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater
of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type
or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in
which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline
Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date
of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Borrower shall not be permitted to elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d). 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
  

 25 

 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar
Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding
Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity
Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each
reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment
of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the sum of the Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (c) The Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election
and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided
that a notice of termination of the Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement as of the date hereof. 
 (d) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a
Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.21(a) will apply to all amounts
thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or
release of any claim the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan
on the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (A) the Maturity Date and (B) the first date after such 

  

 26 

 
Swingline Loan is made that is the last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on
each date that a Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to
each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to
the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.09.
Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, such notice
of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial
prepayment of any 

  

 27 

 
Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11. 
 SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall
accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees in respect of
any Commitment shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and on the date on which such Commitment terminates. All commitment fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed
to be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case
of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 (d) Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than
Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees). 
 SECTION 2.11. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall
bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or
(ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
  

 28 

 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan
and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing
as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (excluding any Taxes) affecting this Agreement
or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; 
  

 29 

 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case in an amount deemed to be material by such Lender, then the Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as
a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and
the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), in each case in an amount deemed to be material to such Lender, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner of determination of such amount or amounts,
shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right
to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, reasonable cost and reasonable expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate that would have been 

  

 30 

 
applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender
would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner of determination of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and
all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable
after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the 

  

 31 

 
time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from the Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing
all applicable documentation. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 2 Penns Way, New Castle, DE 19720, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to
the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder
shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
  

 32 

 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in
Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in
Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the relative aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their Revolving Loans
and participations in Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or
any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Loan Parties or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or 2.16(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to 

  

 33 

 
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents requested
by the Borrower, or if permitted of a Declining Lender under Section 2.20, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if
a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Borrower and (iii) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.17, no Lender may request compensation under Section 2.13 and the Borrower
shall not be required to pay any additional amounts for the benefit of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 if such Lender shall not at such time demand compensation from, or require the payment of such additional amounts by, its best customers
at such time in similar circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.18. Increase of Commitments. (a) The Borrower may from time to time after the
Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall be provided four Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date), executed by the Borrower and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred
to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender (acting in its sole discretion), cause new Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the
Increasing Lenders to be increased (any such extension or increase being called a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount set forth in such notice; provided, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitment Increases
becoming effective on any single date shall be at least $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount consented to by the Administrative Agent), (ii) at no time shall the aggregate amount of Commitments, giving effect to the Commitment 

  

 34 

 
Increases effected pursuant to this paragraph, exceed $1,100,000,000, (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject
to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall complete an Administrative Questionnaire and (iv) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a
party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Increase Effective Date, a duly executed accession agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “Accession Agreement”). New Commitments and increases in Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. Upon the
effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, (A) such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded to,
and subject to all obligations of, a Lender hereunder and (B) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitments of such Increasing Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any
increase pursuant to this Section in any Commitment of a Lender already a party hereto, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may be made
an Increasing Lender without its consent. 
 (b) On the effective date of any Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section (the
“Increase Effective Date”) (which shall not be less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date), (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase
on the Increase Effective Date (the “Initial Loans”) shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings (the “Subsequent
Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance
with Section 2.03, (iii) each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (A) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the
Commitment Increase), of the Subsequent Borrowings and (B) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase), of the Initial Loans, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds
specified in clause (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference, if positive, between (A) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving
effect to the Commitment Increase), of the Initial Loans and (B) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase), of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (v) each Increasing
Lender and each other Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) and (vi) the Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but
unpaid interest on the Initial Loans. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (i) above in respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.14 if the Increase
Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result. 
  

 35 

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender)
shall become effective under this Section unless, on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a Borrowing being deemed
to be references to such increase) and the Administrative Agent shall have received, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Increase Effective Date, a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of
each Loan Party. 
 SECTION 2.19. Additional Guarantors. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, including for purposes of
complying with Section 6.07 or effecting a Permitted Reorganization Transaction, designate any Eligible Additional Guarantor as an additional Guarantor hereunder, in each case by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Guarantor Joinder
Agreement executed by such Eligible Additional Guarantor and satisfaction of the conditions with respect to such Eligible Additional Guarantor set forth in Section 4.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor Joinder Agreement shall become
effective with respect to any Eligible Additional Guarantor if it shall be unlawful for such Eligible Additional Guarantor to become a Guarantor hereunder. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Guarantor Joinder Agreement and the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 with respect to the Eligible Additional Guarantor to which it relates, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender. 
 SECTION 2.20. Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) not less than 45 days and not more than 60 days prior to the then existing Maturity Date, request that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional period of 364 days. Each
Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s Maturity Date Extension Request, advise the Borrower whether
or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being a “Consenting Lender”, and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being a “Declining Lender”). Any
Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a
Maturity Date Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the date 364 days after the Maturity Date theretofore in effect. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Date Extension
Request shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing
Maturity Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of such Declining Lenders hereunder,
shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the
termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the aggregate Credit Exposures would not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Borrower
shall have the right, pursuant to Sections 2.17 and 9.04, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to the applicable Maturity Date Extension
Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender. 

  

 36 

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless on the Existing Maturity Date that
immediately follows the date on which the Borrower delivers the applicable Maturity Date Extension Request, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be
references to such extension) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer. 
 SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or
other amounts) will be applied to the payment of all amounts then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement until such amounts are paid in full and then will be paid to such Defaulting Lender. The application of payments as
described in the preceding sentence shall not result in a Default and a Defaulting Lender may not charge any overdue or penalty interest on any amount owed to it that is not paid as a result of such application. 
 (b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or
a Potential Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.21(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such
portion of the outstanding Loans or participations in Swingline Loans of the other Lenders or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Credit Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis
in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Credit Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted
on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided
further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender to a Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender. 
 ARTICLE III

 Representations and Warranties 
 Each Loan Party represents and warrants (as to itself and its Subsidiaries) to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (c) is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required and (d) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents and each other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby to which it is or will be a party and to

 SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the creation and incurrence of the
guarantees by the Guarantors set forth herein (collectively, the “Transactions”) (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite partnership, limited liability company or corporate and, if required, partner, member or
stockholder action and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the limited partnership agreement, LLC Agreement or other constitutive documents of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
or any General Partner, (B) any order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their
property is or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which in the cases of clause (b)(i) and (b)(ii) would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and
constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except
as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity
or at law). 
 SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other
action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain which could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.05. Financial Statements. The Loan Parties have heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) the
consolidated and combined statement of financial condition as of, and consolidated and combined statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital and cash flows for the fiscal year ended, December 31, 2008 of Blackstone Group, audited
by and accompanied by the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statement of financial condition as of, and condensed consolidated and
combined statements of income and cash flows for the fiscal year ended, December 31, 2008 of the combined Guarantors and the Subsidiaries, in the form delivered pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, and (iii) a reconciliation prepared
by a Financial Officer of the financial statements referred to in clause (i) to those referred to in clause (ii). 
  

 38 

 Such audited financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated and combined
financial position and results of operations of Blackstone Group and such unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the condensed consolidated and combined financial position and
results of operations of the combined Guarantors and the Subsidiaries as of such date and for such periods presented. Such financial statements and the notes thereto disclose all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of Blackstone Group and of
the combined Guarantors and the Subsidiaries as of the date thereof. Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, except, in the case of such unaudited financial statements, for the absence or
incompleteness of footnotes and except as otherwise disclosed therein.

consolidated with those of Blackstone Group in the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Blackstone Group included in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. 
 SECTION 3.06. No Material Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of
the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2008. 
 SECTION 3.07. Title to Properties; Possession
Under Leases. (a) Each of the Guarantors and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets, except for defects that do not, in the aggregate, materially interfere with the
conduct of the business of the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the use of the properties and assets of the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole for their intended purposes, except where failure to have title or
leasehold interests would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02. 
 (b) Each Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and all such leases
are in full force and effect, except to the extent that the failure to so comply or the failure to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the
Guarantors and each of its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases, except to the extent that the failure to enjoy such possession could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 SECTION 3.08. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.08, as specifically disclosed in
Blackstone Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 or in any other report publicly filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof, there are not any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity
or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party, or any of the Subsidiaries, or any business, property or rights of any such person (i) which on the
date hereof involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and which would be materially likely to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  

 39 

 (b) Neither any Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or
in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.09. Agreements. (a) Neither any Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any
partnership, limited liability company or corporate restriction that has resulted or would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Neither any Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries is in default in any manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound, where such default would be materially likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.10. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether
immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose which entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. 
 (b) At no time will more than 25% of the combined assets of the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries consist of margin stock (as such term is defined under
the Regulations of the Board), if a violation of Regulation T, U or X of the Board would result. 
 SECTION 3.11. Investment Company
Act. Neither any Guarantor nor any of the Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.12. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans for general investment and general partnership, limited liability

Party and each of the Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal tax returns and all state and local tax returns required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns
or on any assessments received by it, except taxes the payment of which is not required by Section 5.03 or where the failure to file or pay would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.14. No Material Misstatements. As of the Effective Date, no information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by
or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto (in each case as amended, supplemented or updated through the
Effective Date) contains any 

  

 40 

 
untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact (known to any Loan Party in the case of materials not furnished by it) necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, provided, that to the extent that any of the foregoing was based on or constitutes a forecast or financial projection, the
Loan Parties represent only that each such forecast or projection was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time of preparation. 
 SECTION 3.15. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for
which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of
the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Administrative Agent 
 SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this
Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Loan Parties shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions; in each case subject to the rights of the Borrower under
Section 8.06. 
 SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent Individually. (a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lenders. 
 (b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual
capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking
and research) (collectively, the “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the
Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of
others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in 

  

 54 

 
securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in
the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any
Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall
deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. 
 (c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the
Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of
the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information
(including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter
shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that
would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account. 
 SECTION 8.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in
nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. 
  

 55 

 (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 9.02(b)) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default
unless and until any Loan Party or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default and such event or events. 
 (c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy or completeness
of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the
foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to
the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. 

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall
not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  

 56 

 SECTION 8.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Article VIII and Section 9.03 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 8.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the
Borrower. At the time of any such resignation, the successor shall be the Lender with the greatest Credit Exposure and unused Commitment at such time (other than the resigning Administrative Agent) that consents to serving as Administrative Agent.
If no such successor shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent that is a bank with an office in New York City. The Administrative Agent may not resign unless and until a successor
Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
(or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as the
Administrative Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance new, or extend existing, Swingline Loans where such advance or
extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor Swingline
Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption and acquire from the retiring Swingline Lender each outstanding Swingline Loan of such retiring Swingline Lender for a purchase price equal to par plus accrued interest. 
  

 57 

 (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that
the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” or “Potential Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party)
a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 9.02(c)) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the agreement of
the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will be effective on the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed. 
 SECTION 8.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. (a) Each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it
(i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related
Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it. 
 (b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely
responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and
investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case: 
 (i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Loan
Parties; 
 (ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document; 
 (iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such
condition; and 
 (iv) the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any
other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or
executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.

 (b) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in clause (a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by
posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 9.13
to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified
(regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a
standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform and (iii) if delivered 

  

 59 

 
by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as
provided in clause (a); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) be
followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Borrower shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Administrative
Agent, deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to
oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner. 
 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by a Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may
be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or by the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent with the consent of
the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties that are parties thereto;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(b) or (c) in a manner 

  

 60 

 
that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) alter the last sentence of
Section 2.07(c) without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release any of the Guarantors or limit its liability in respect of its guarantee under Article X without the consent of each Lender or (vii) change any of the provisions
of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Loan Parties, the Required Lenders and the
Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment
becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. 
 (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether
the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period);
provided that any such amendment or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender
hereunder, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, (iv) reduce the amount of or the rate of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender
hereunder or (v) alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel for the
Administrative Agent, in connection with the pre-closing syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications
or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
  

 61 

 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any
of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or
its Related Parties as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) To the extent that the
Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan
Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  

 62 

 (b) Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Non-Defaulting Lender or Non-Defaulting Lender Affiliate, or to any one or more other assignees with the prior written consent of (i) the Borrower (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the
Administrative Agent and (iii) the Swingline Lender. Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions: (w) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of each Lender after giving effect to any assignment shall be not less than $50,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent of the Borrower
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (x) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (y) the parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (z) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be
a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph. 
  

 63 

 (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or grant such pledgee or assignee
enforcement rights prior to a foreclosure on such pledge or assignment or any voting rights. 
 (h) Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, no Lender may provide any Information (as defined in Section 9.12) to any prospective Lender, Participant or pledgee without the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). 
  

 64 

 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan
Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any
Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
  

 65 

 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration
in interpreting, this Agreement. 
  

 66 

 SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a need-to-know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or any
such Lender, as the case may be, gives the Borrower prompt notice of any request to disclose information (unless such notice is prohibited by law, subpoena, similar process or by the applicable regulatory authority) so that the Borrower may seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy (including by participation in any proceeding to which the Administrative Agent or any such Lender is a party, and each of them hereby agrees to use reasonable effort to permit the Borrower to do so),
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates. 
 For the purposes of
this Section, “Information” means all information (including financial statements, certificates and reports and analyses, compilations and studies prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender based on any of
the foregoing) received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or Subsidiary relating to any Loan Party or Subsidiary or its Affiliates or its business or relating to any employee, member or partner or customer of any Loan Party or Subsidiary, other
than any such information that is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.13. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. (a) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on Debt Domain or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative
Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
 (b) Although the Approved Electronic
Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User
ID/Password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and
the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that 

  

 67 

 
there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such
distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves of distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the
Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties. 
 (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS
OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 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 THE AGENT’S GROUP IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 
 (d) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be
obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
 SECTION 9.14. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan
Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 9.15. Lender Relationship. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those
of the Loan Parties, the owners of their Equity Interests and/or their Affiliates. The Loan Parties agree that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other
implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, the owners of their Equity Interests or their Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents
(including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the
process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or 

  

 68 

 
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties, the owners of their Equity Interests or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect hereto or thereto) or the process leading hereto or thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, the owner of its
Equity Interest or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Loan Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary
of any Loan Party, its management, owners of its Equity Interests, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a
fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 
 ARTICLE X 
 Guarantee 
 In order to induce the
Lenders and the Swingline Lender to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due
and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its
guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. 
 Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of
payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected
by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any
extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from (other than an express, written release), any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document
or agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor hereunder, (d) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, (e) any decree or order, or any law or regulation of any
jurisdiction or event affecting any term of an Obligation or (f) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of a
Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of each Guarantor to subrogation or any other circumstance that might constitute a defense of each Guarantor or the Borrower. 
  

 69 

 Each Guarantor further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when and in
the amount due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection or the acceleration of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to
require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender in favor of the Borrower or
any other Person. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether currently existing or hereafter incurred. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor, and the claims of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender against each Guarantor, hereunder
shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations), and shall
not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or
otherwise (other than for the indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations). 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender
upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when
and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline
Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. 
 Upon payment by each Guarantor of any sums as provided above, all rights of each Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a
result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by the
Borrower hereunder. 
 Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the
United States Code or any provisions of applicable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other 

  

 70 

 
liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any
liabilities of such Guarantor (i) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder
and (ii) under any Guarantee of senior unsecured indebtedness or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations which Guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this paragraph, pursuant
to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent
Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Guarantor pursuant to (x) applicable law or (y) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and
other Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties. 
 In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to the final paragraph of this Article X), the Borrower agrees that in the event a payment in respect of any obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the
Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment. 
 Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to the final paragraph of this Article X) that, in the event a payment shall be
made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided hereunder, the Contributing Party shall indemnify
the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date of the most recent fiscal quarter of Blackstone Group ended prior to the
date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any Eligible Additional Guarantor added as a Guarantor after the date hereof, the most recent fiscal quarter of Blackstone Group ended prior to the date such Eligible Additional Guarantor became a
Guarantor) and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date. Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this paragraph shall (subject to the final paragraph of this Article X) be
subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under the preceding paragraph to the extent of such payment. 
 Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under the preceding two paragraphs and all other rights of the Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by the preceding two paragraphs (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall
in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to, or to it by, any other Loan Party shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. 
  

 71 

 The provisions of this Article X shall not affect or limit the ability of the Guarantors or the
Subsidiaries to enter into and consummate Permitted Reorganization Transactions. 
  

 72 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective
authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
