FIFTH AMENDMENT AND LIMITED CONENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

 

This FIFTH AMENDMENT AND LIMITED CONSENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), is entered into as of November 21, 2016, by and among Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined below) signatory hereto, and Medley Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Medley”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”) and the Agent are parties to that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of February 19, 2014, (as amended through the date hereof and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment and Limited Consent to Term Loan Agreement, Agent and the Lenders have consented to the issuance by Borrower of the issuance of 2,500 units of Series J Securities consisting of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 2,650 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Series J Securities”), at any time from and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date to and including March 30, 2017 (the “Original Specified Issuance”); 

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has informed the Agent and the Lenders that it intends to issue 2,500 additional units of its Series J Securities in excess of the Original Specified Issuance, such that the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds resulting from the issuance of the Series J Securities equals approximately $5,000,000; 

 

WHEREAS, the excess net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Series J Securities of $2,500,000 (the “Specified Equity Issuance”)is prohibited by Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement because such Equity Interests constitute Disqualified Equity Interests under the Loan Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that (x) it be permitted to make the Specified Equity Issuance, to retain the net cash proceeds thereof (the “Specified Net Cash Proceeds”) for working capital and for other general corporate purposes that are not prohibited by the Loan Agreement, (y) the full amount of the Specified Net Cash Proceeds be added to EBITDA for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 7.6 (Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) for the twelve month period ending on each of June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 30, 2017 (the “Specified Covenant Periods”) and (z) the Specified Net Cash Proceeds be added to EBITDA for the Specified Covenant Periods;

 

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and Lenders desire to amend the Loan Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.     Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

2.     Limited Consent. Upon satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 below and notwithstanding Section 6.12 of the Loan Agreement, Agent and the Lenders hereby consent (i) to the Borrower making the Specified Equity Issuance from and including the Fifth Amendment Effective Date to and including March 30, 2017 pursuant to the documentation attached hereto as Exhibit B, (ii) retaining the Specified Net Cash Proceeds for working capital and for other general corporate purposes that are not prohibited by the Loan Agreement (iii) adding the full amount of the Specified Net Cash Proceeds to EBITDA, as necessary, for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 7.6 (Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) for the Specified Covenant Periods, and (iv) solely to the extent required by preemptive rights provisions of Section 14 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (as in effect on the date hereof), the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (as in effect on the date hereof), and the Amended Series J Certificate of Designation (as in effect on the date hereof) (collectively, the “Certificates of Designation”), the future issuance of Series J Securities to certain Exercising Holders (as defined in the applicable Certificates of Designation (as in effect on the date hereof)). Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Loan Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, Agent and Lenders agree and acknowledge that the Specified Net Cash Proceeds shall be first applied to the obligations arising under the Revolving Loan Agreement (but not in permanent reduction of the maximum revolving amount under the Revolving Loan Documents). The Revolving Agent shall be entitled to rely on the consent provided herein and the foregoing agreement and acknowledgment by Agent and the Lenders. The foregoing is a limited consent, and shall not, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, constitute (a) a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or (b) a waiver, release, or limitation upon the exercise by Agent or any Lender of any of its rights, legal or equitable, thereunder.

 

3.     Amendments to Loan Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 below, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 

 

(a)     Schedule 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the period at the end of the end of the definition of “EBITDA” and adding the following as clause (l):

 

 

“plus (l) the amount of cash equity contributions, other than the Fourth Amendment Equity Contribution, permitted hereunder in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of (i) $2,500,000 that is contributed to the Borrower from the Sponsor from and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date to and including March 30, 2017 plus (ii) an additional $2,500,000 that is contributed to the Borrower from the Sponsor from and including the Fifth Amendment Effective Date to and including March 30, 2017, solely for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.1 and Section 7.6 during the relevant fiscal quarters.”

(b)     Schedule 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following definitions in the correct alphabetical order as follows:

Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Loan Agreement, each of Schedule 4.1(b), Schedule 4.1(d), and Schedule 4.26 to the Loan Agreement, are hereby amended and replaced by the applicable Schedules attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Specified Disclosure Updates”).

Inc. or any other financial advisor retained by the Agent in its sole discretion. 

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Amendment or any other Loan Document, the Borrower’s failure to perform or observe any covenant or other agreement contained in this Section 6 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

 

7.     Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender as follows:

(d)     this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms;

 

(e)     immediately before and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists or shall exist immediately following the consummation of the changes contemplated hereby;

 

(f)     all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof, except to the extent made as of a specific date, in which case each such representation and warranty is true and correct as of such date; and

 

 

 

4

 

 

(g)     by its signature below, Borrower agrees that it shall constitute an Event of Default if any representation or warranty made herein is untrue or incorrect in as of the date when made or deemed made.

 

8.     Agreement in Full Force and Effect as Amended. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed as so amended. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not be deemed to be an amendment or modification of any provisions of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document, instrument and/or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith or of any Default or Event of Default under any of the foregoing, in each case, whether arising before or after the date hereof or as a result of performance hereunder or thereunder. This Amendment also shall not preclude the future exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege available to the Lenders whether under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, at law or otherwise and nothing contained herein shall constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties hereto. All references to the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to mean the Loan Agreement as modified hereby. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation or satisfaction and accord of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, but shall constitute an amendment thereof. The parties hereto agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents as amended by this Amendment, as though such terms and conditions were set forth herein. Each reference in the Loan Agreement to “this Amendment,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and each reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the “Loan Agreement” shall mean and be a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended and modified by this Amendment. 

 

9.     Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Amendment and any number of separate counterparts, each of which when so executed, shall be deemed an original and all said counterparts when taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

10.     Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns.     

 

11.     Further Assurance. Borrower hereby agrees from time to time, as and when requested by the Agent or any Lender, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action as the Agent or such Lender may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement, and the Loan Documents.

 

12.     GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

 

 

 

5

 

 

13.     Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.

 

14.     Reaffirmation. Borrower as debtor, grantor, pledgor, or in any other similar capacity hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Borrower hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges that each of the Loan Documents remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations.

 

15.     Acknowledgment of Obligations. The Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that as of the close of business on November 21, 2016, the Borrower is indebted to the Lenders in respect of the Term Loans in the principal amount of $32,215,843.19, with accrued and outstanding cash interest in the amount of $194,833.19 and accrued and outstanding Closing Date PIK Interest in the amount of $35,795.38. The Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that all such Term Loans, together with interest accrued and accruing thereon, and all fees, costs, expenses and other charges now or hereafter payable by the Borrower to the Agent and Lenders, are unconditionally owing by the Borrower to the Agent and Lenders, as applicable, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

 

16.     Acknowledgment of Rights; Release of Claims. Borrower hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has no defenses, claims or set-offs to the enforcement by any Lender or the Agent of Borrower’s liabilities, obligations and agreements on the date hereof; (b) to its knowledge, each Lender and the Agent have fully performed all undertakings and obligations owed to it as of the date hereof; and (c) except to the limited extent expressly set forth in this Amendment, each Lender and the Agent do not waive, diminish or limit any term or condition contained in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby remises, releases, acquits, satisfies and forever discharges the Lenders and Agent, their agents, employees, officers, directors, predecessors, attorneys and all others acting or purporting to act on behalf of or at the direction of the Lenders and Agent (“Releasees”), of and from any and all manner of actions, causes of action, suit, debts, accounts, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, variances, damages, judgments, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, which any of such parties ever had, now has or, to the extent arising from or in connection with any act, omission or state of facts taken or existing on or prior to the date hereof, may have after the date hereof against the Releasees, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever through the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower waives and affirmatively agrees not to allege or otherwise pursue any defenses, affirmative defenses, counterclaims, claims, causes of action, setoffs or other rights they do, shall or may have as of the date hereof, including, but not limited to, the rights to contest: (a) the right of Agent and each Lender to exercise its rights and remedies described in this Amendment; (b) any provision of this Amendment or the Loan Documents; or (c) any conduct of the Lenders or other Releasees relating to or arising out of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents on or prior to the date hereof.

17.     Tax Treatment. The Loan Parties do not believe that the amendments made pursuant to this Amendment shall be treated as a “significant modification” of the Term Loans under Treasury Regulation 1.1001-3.

 FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of November 28, 2016
(this “Agreement”), among NISOURCE FINANCE CORP., an Indiana corporation, as Borrower (the “Borrower”), NISOURCE INC., a Delaware corporation (“NiSource”), as
Guarantor (the “Guarantor”), the Lead Arrangers and other Lenders from time to time party hereto, the Co-Documentation Agents party hereto, the Co-Syndication Agents party hereto and BARCLAYS BANK PLC, as
administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 
 WITNESSETH:

 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantor, certain Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Existing Credit
Agreement (as defined herein) pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders agreed to enter, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, into a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $1,500,000,000; and 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby 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 is, or the
Loans comprising such Borrowing are, bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 

“Act” means the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law

entire unused balance of the Aggregate Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding under this Agreement. 
 (d) To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or email (i) 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; or (ii) in the case of
an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic or email Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by email, hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Each such telephonic, email and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

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

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing and the aggregate amount of each Type of
Borrowing (if applicable); and 
 (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is
specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to
elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. 

SECTION 2.03. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.04. Letters of Credit 

(a) LC Banks. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time request any LC Bank to issue, extend or
amend one or more Letters of Credit hereunder. Any such request by the Borrower shall be notified to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which the Borrower proposes that the applicable LC Bank issue, extend or
amend such Letter of Credit and in the case of an extension request, shall be in 

  
 25 

 
substantially the form of Exhibit E (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Bank) accompanied by the letter of credit application form of the LC
Bank appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Bank. At no time shall (i) the aggregate LC Outstandings
exceed the sum of the Commitments, (ii) the sum of the aggregate LC Outstandings under this Agreement exceed $150,000,000 or (iii) the aggregate LC Outstandings of all Letters of Credit issued by any LC Bank exceed at any time such LC
Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment. No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such LC Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such LC Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Bank shall prohibit, or
request that such LC Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for
which such LC Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such LC Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such LC Bank in good
faith deems material to it, (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Bank applicable to letters of credit generally (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such LC
Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000, (iv) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or (v) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement
of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. 
 (b)
Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or amended) on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the applicable LC Bank. Each such notice (a “Request for Issuance”) shall specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment) and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall be (A) subject to Section 2.04(j), not more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension
and (B) not later than five days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day)), (ii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit and (iii) such
other information as shall demonstrate compliance of such Letter of Credit with the requirements specified therefor in this Agreement. Each Request for Issuance shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not less than two days
prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. If the applicable LC Bank shall have approved the form of such Letter of Credit (or such extension, modification or amendment thereof), such LC Bank shall not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein and as otherwise agreed to between such LC Bank and
the Borrower, issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall furnish (x) to each Lender, a copy of such notice and (y) to each
Lender that may so request, a copy of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 26 

 (c) Reimbursement on Demand. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(d) hereof, the
Borrower hereby agrees to pay (whether with the proceeds of Loans made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to the applicable LC Bank on demand (i) on and after each date on which such LC Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of Credit
issued by such LC Bank a sum equal to such amount so paid (which sum shall constitute a demand loan from such LC Bank to the Borrower from the date of such payment by such LC Bank until so paid by the Borrower), plus (ii) interest on any amount
remaining unpaid by the Borrower to such LC Bank under clause (i), above, from the date such sum becomes payable on demand until payment in full, at a rate per annum which is equal to 2% plus the then applicable Alternate Base Rate until paid
in full. 
 (d) Loans for Unreimbursed LC Disbursements. If any LC Bank shall make any payment under any Letter of Credit and if the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 of this Agreement have been satisfied as of the date of such honor, then, each Lender’s payment made to such LC Bank pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04 in respect of such
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Loan made for the account of the Borrower by such Lender. Each such ABR Loan shall mature and be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the first
March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 to occur following the date such ABR Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date. 

(e) Participation; Reimbursement of the LC Banks. 

(i) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by any LC Bank (and, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, on the
Effective Date), such LC Bank hereby sells and transfers to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Bank, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in and to such Letter of
Credit, including the obligations of such LC Bank under and in respect thereof and the Borrower’s reimbursement and other obligations in respect thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising. 

(ii) If any LC Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Bank under any Letter of Credit
issued by such LC Bank on the date of such payment, such LC Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such non-reimbursement and the amount thereof. Upon receipt of such
notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, plus interest on such amount at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of such payment by such LC Bank to the date of payment to such LC Bank by such Lender. All such payments by each Lender shall be made in United States dollars and in same day
funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the later to occur of (A) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by the applicable LC Bank and (B) the Business Day on which such Lender shall have
received notice of such non-reimbursement; provided, however, that if such notice is received by 

  
 27 

 
such Lender later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, such payment shall be payable on the next Business Day. Each Lender agrees that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If a Lender shall have paid to the applicable LC Bank its ratable portion of any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, together with all interest thereon required by the second sentence of
this subparagraph (ii), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of all interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement. If such Lender shall have made such payment to the applicable LC Bank, but
without all such interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of the interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement only from
the date it shall have paid all interest required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii). 
 (iii) The failure of
any Lender to make any payment to the applicable LC Bank in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but neither such LC Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make such payment. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment to the applicable LC Bank in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above, then such Lender shall pay to such LC Bank forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day until the date such amount is repaid to such LC Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall in any way limit, waive or otherwise reduce any claims that any party
hereto may have against any non-performing Lender. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The payment
obligations of each Lender under Section 2.04(e) and of the Borrower under Section 2.04(c) of this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit and any Loan made under Section 2.04(d) shall be unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to
such Letter of Credit; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Credit
Documents; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which
the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any LC Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iv) any
statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

  
 28 

 (v) payment in good faith by the applicable LC Bank under the Letter of Credit
issued by such LC Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

(g) Liability of LC Banks and the Lenders. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of
any Letter of Credit. Neither the LC Banks, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to
such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower or any Lender shall have the right to bring suit against the applicable LC Bank,
and such LC Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender which were caused by such LC Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, including such LC Bank’s wilful or grossly negligent failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the
beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) which strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable LC Bank may accept sight drafts and
accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment, and the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lenders hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, notwithstanding the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any LC Bank. 

(h) Transitional Provision. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 3.01 and 3.02, from and after the
Effective Date the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.04. 
 (i)
LC Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of
Credit issued by it and outstanding at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension,
and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being

  
 29 

 
understood that such LC Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement,
(iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such LC Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day,
such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
 (j) Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. If the Borrower
so requests in any applicable request for a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04(a), each LC Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such LC Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit)
by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day set forth in such Letter of Credit (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit
is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable LC Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such LC Bank for any such extension. Any LC Bank that agrees to issue an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such issuance within five Business Days after the date of issuance thereof and shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prevention of extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders
shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable LC Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than five days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day); provided, however, that no LC Bank shall permit any such extension if such LC Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (including the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02). 

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
(i) in the case of Eurodollar Borrowings, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of ABR Borrowings, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, in each case to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose
by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account established and maintained by the Borrower at the Administrative
Agent’s office in New York City. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender 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 

  
 30 

 
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
Federal Funds Effective Rate 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. 
 SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type or Types 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. 
 (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 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of
the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election; provided, however, with regard to any election pursuant to this Section 2.06 related to a Eurodollar Borrowing, notice of election shall be delivered not
later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to 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 substantially the form of Exhibit G (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower. 

(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 of such Borrowing, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Type of 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; 

  
 31 

 (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 Type of Borrowing. 
 (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. Mandatory Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. 

SECTION 2.08. Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) If at any time the Total Outstanding Principal exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect for any reason whatsoever (including,
without limitation, as a result of any reduction in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09), the Borrower shall prepay Loans or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the final
paragraph of Section 8.01, as applicable, in such aggregate amount (together with accrued interest thereon to the extent required by Section 2.13) as shall be necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the Total Outstanding
Principal does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. 
 (b) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied
by the Borrower’s payment of any amounts payable under Section 2.16 in connection with such prepayment. Prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied ratably to the Loans so prepaid. 

SECTION 2.09. Optional Reduction or Termination of Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments (including the unused Letter of Credit Commitments of
the LC Banks); provided  

  
 32 

 
that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 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 2.11, the Total Outstanding Principal would exceed the Aggregate Commitments thereafter in effect. 

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.09(a) at
least five 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 delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of the Commitments shall be permanent. 
 (c) Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be made ratably
among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments immediately preceding such reduction. 
 SECTION 2.10.
Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent
(i) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date and (ii) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan deemed to be made pursuant to
Section 2.04(d) on the maturity date therefor as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(d). 
 (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 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 Register
and the corresponding 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 

  
 33 

 
payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

SECTION 2.11. Optional 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 or email) 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 or (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if
such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Each such telephonic notice of prepayment shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a prepayment notice in substantially the
form of Exhibit H (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, it being understood that the
foregoing minimum shall not apply to the prepayment in whole of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all Lenders. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and by any amounts payable under Section 2.16 in connection with such prepayment. 

SECTION 2.12. Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (each a “Facility
Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment
terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September
and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any Facility Fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate
shall be payable on demand. All Facility 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). 

  
 34 

 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
letter of credit risk participation fee (each a “LC Risk Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the LC Outstandings during the period from and including the Effective
Date to but excluding the Termination Date or such later date as on which there shall cease to be any LC Outstandings. Accrued LC Risk Participation Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year
and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any LC Risk Participation Fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable
on demand. All LC Risk Participation 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). The Borrower shall also pay to the LC
Bank for its own account (x) a fronting fee, which fronting fee shall accrue at a per annum rate agreed upon between the Borrower and the applicable LC Bank on the average daily amount of such LC Outstandings in respect of all Letters of Credit
issued by such LC Bank during the period each such Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, which fronting fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which such Letter of
Credit terminates, and (y) documentary and processing charges in connection with the issuance, or modification cancellation, negotiation, or transfer of, and draws under Letters of Credit issued by such LC Bank in accordance with such LC
Bank’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect from time to time. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
and each Arranger, in each case, for its own account and for the account of the other Persons entitled thereto, the fees provided for in the applicable fee letter dated November 3, 2016, executed and delivered with respect to the credit
facility provided for herein, in each case, in the amounts and at the times set forth therein and in immediately available funds. 
 (d) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid in immediately available funds. Fees due and paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.13. Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate
for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

(d) 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 above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided above. 

  
 35 

 (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for
such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid
or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving 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 and (iv) all accrued interest shall be payable upon termination of the Commitments. 

(f) 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 or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative
Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

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 Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
assessment or requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any LC Bank (except any such reserve requirement described in paragraph (e) of this Section); 

  
 36 

 (ii) impose on any Lender or any LC Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or participation therein or Unreimbursed LC Disbursements or Letters of Credit and participations therein; or 

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, Letter of Credit Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC
Bank of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan or Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit and participation interests therein (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or issue or
participate in such Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or any LC Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such LC Bank’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or such LC Bank or its holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
such LC Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the applicable LC Bank, as the case may be, setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or
its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay 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 or any LC Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of its 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 ninety days prior to
the date that such Lender or such LC Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of its intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 37 

 (e) The Borrower shall pay (without duplication as to amounts paid under this Section 2.15)
to each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurodollar Loan of such Lender, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the LIBO Rate for the Interest
Period for such Loan from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on
such Loan. Such additional interest determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, accompanied by the calculation of the amount thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

 (f) If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for
any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such
Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans
or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on
the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under
Section 2.11(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 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed
to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such
payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such
borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the LIBO 

  
 38 

 
Rate for such Interest Period, over (y) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for
such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposit from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 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 2.17. 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 Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent,
then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if
such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 

(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 each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or any LC Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender or any LC Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by
a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party 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) 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed

  
 39 

 
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of
such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) and Section 2.17(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would
subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as
applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a 

  
 40 

 
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign
Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time
or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments

  
 41 

 
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (g) If any party
determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to
such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) the
payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or
otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (h) Each Lender shall severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any
other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h). 
 (i) Each party’s obligations under this
Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
obligations under any Credit Document. 
 (j) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

  
 42 

 SECTION 2.18. 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 under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 11.03, 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 office listed in
Section 11.01(b), except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.03 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, to pay 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, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(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 the Obligations owing to it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations 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 of, or other Obligations owing to, other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans or other Obligations, as applicable; 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 Loans
to any assignee or participant, other than to the Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Guarantor (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower and the Guarantor consent to the foregoing and
agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower and the Guarantor rights of set-off and counterclaim with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower or the affected Guarantor in the amount of such participation. 

  
 43 

 (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 Federal Funds
Effective Rate. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.05(b) or
2.18(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. 
 (f) None of the funds or assets of the Borrower that are used
to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Anti-Corruption Laws or Sanctions. 

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation from the Borrower under either of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 for any losses, costs or
other liabilities shall use reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office of such Lender for funding or booking its Loans or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates) to mitigate the amount of such losses, costs and other liabilities, if such efforts can be made and such mitigation can be accomplished without such Lender suffering (i) any economic disadvantage for which
such Lender does not receive full indemnity from the Borrower under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(b) In determining the amount of any claim for reimbursement or compensation under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, each Lender will use
reasonable methods of calculation consistent with such methods customarily employed by such Lender in similar situations. 
 (c) Each Lender
will notify the Borrower either directly or through the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a claim under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 promptly after the occurrence thereof which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of
such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances of such claim. 
 (d) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, 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 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a

  
 44 

 
Non-Consenting Lender, 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 11.04, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the $3,500 processing and recordation fee in connection therewith), 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 and each LC Bank, which consent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not unreasonably be withheld and, in the case of each LC Bank, may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of such
LC Bank, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 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. 

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions
shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the
vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) so long as no Default shall be continuing, all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does
not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ 

  
 45 

 
Commitments and to the extent the sum of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable LC Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving
effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the last paragraph of Section 8.01 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or the applicable LC Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(x) (solely with respect to any fronting fee), in each case with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant
to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any LC Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the
portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable LC
Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 
 (d) so long as such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, no LC Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that (i) the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered
by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be
allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so
long as such event shall continue or (ii) any LC Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no LC Bank shall be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the applicable LC Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the applicable LC Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such
Lender hereunder. 

  
 46 

 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the LC Banks each agrees that a
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender
shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.21. Extension of Termination Date. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to any
anniversary of the Effective Date (other than the Termination Date), by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which an extension occurs, an
“Extension Date”) such Lender’s Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Termination Date”). 

(b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that
is ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to
such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be
deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request
made by the Borrower for extension of the Termination Date. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each
Lender’s determination under this Section. 
 (d) The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the
applicable Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each,
an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent and the LC Banks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an
Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04, with the Borrower obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, elect to waive the $3,500 processing and recordation fee in connection therewith) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Termination Date
for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment 

  
 47 

 
(and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender
being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which notice shall set forth
such Lender’s new Termination Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide solely for any such extensions with the consent of the Borrower but
without the consent of any other Lenders. 
 (e) If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend
their Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the
applicable Extension Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business
Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Termination Date on any date of determination shall not be a date more than five
(5) years after such date of determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made hereunder. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder and
(y) any extension of any Revolving Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless: 

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after
giving effect thereto; 
 (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement are true and
correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); and

 (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate dated as of the applicable Extension Date from the
Borrower signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such
extension. 
 (g) On the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall
automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.09 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending 

  
 48 

 
Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 2.15) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer
any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement). 

(h) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 11.02 to the contrary. 

SECTION 2.22. Expansion Option. The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in minimum
increments of $50,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $500,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to
an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting
Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to increase their existing Commitments or provide new Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Increasing Lender and each
Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each LC Bank and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit J hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders
participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender)
shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders, each Increasing
Lender and each Augmenting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a
pro forma basis) with the covenant contained in Article VII and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the organizational power and authority of
the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such
amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such
other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all
outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments 

  
 49 

 
(with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.02). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan,
shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.22 shall
constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time. In connection with any increase of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22, any Augmenting Lender becoming
a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Augmenting Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States
of America, provide to the Administrative Agent and each LC Bank, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent and each LC Bank to comply with “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS 

SECTION 6.01. Negative Covenants. So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any principal of any Loan,
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, interest or fees payable hereunder shall remain unpaid or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, no Credit Party will, without the written consent of the Required Lenders: 

(a) Limitation on Liens. Create or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Utility Subsidiary) to
create or suffer to exist, any lien, security interest, or other charge or encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) upon or with respect to any of its properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or collaterally assign for
security purposes, or permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Utility Subsidiary) to so assign any right to receive income in each case to secure or provide for or guarantee the payment of Debt for Borrowed Money of any Person, without in any
such case effectively securing, prior to or concurrently with the creation, issuance, assumption or guaranty of any such Debt for Borrowed Money, the Obligations (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other Debt for Borrowed Money
of or guaranteed by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries ranking equally with the Loans and Unreimbursed LC Disbursements and then existing or thereafter created) equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt for Borrowed Money; provided,
however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of: 
 (i)
(A) Liens on any property acquired, constructed or improved by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Utility Subsidiary) after the date of this Agreement that are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within
180 days after, such acquisition or completion of such construction or improvement, to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction or improvement; or (B) in
addition to Liens contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii) below, Liens on any property existing at the time of acquisition thereof, provided that the Liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the

  
 59 

 
Guarantor or any such Subsidiary other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, (1) unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or the improvement is
located, (2) other property (or improvements thereon) that is an improvement to or is acquired or constructed for specific use with such acquired or constructed property (or improvement thereof), and (3) any rights and interests
(A) under any agreements or other documents relating to, or (B) appurtenant to, the property being so constructed or improved or such other property; 

(ii) existing Liens on any property or indebtedness of a corporation that is merged with or into or consolidated with any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such Lien was not created in contemplation of such merger or consolidation; 

(iii) Liens on any property or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary of any
Credit Party; provided that such Lien was not created in contemplation of such occurrence; 
 (iv) Liens to secure
Debt for Borrowed Money of a Subsidiary of a Credit Party to a Credit Party or to another Subsidiary of the Guarantor; 
 (v)
Liens in favor of the United States of America, any State, any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any

for Borrowed Money so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement (which, for purposes of this limitation as it applies to a synthetic lease, shall be deemed to be (x) the lessor’s original cost of the property subject to
such lease at the time of extension, renewal or replacement, less (y) the aggregate amount of all prior payments under such lease allocated pursuant to the terms of such lease to reduce the principal amount of the lessor’s
investment, and borrowings by the lessor, made to fund the original cost of the property), and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property or indebtedness which secured the Lien so extended, renewed
or replaced (plus improvements on such property);

this clause (x) then outstanding, does not exceed $150,000,000. 
 If at any time any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall
create, issue, assume or guaranty any Debt for Borrowed Money secured by any Lien and the first paragraph of this Section 6.01(a) requires that the Loans be secured equally and ratably with such Debt for Borrowed Money, the Borrower shall
promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

Borrower to any other Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor, immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (determined, for purposes of compliance with Article VII after giving effect
to such transaction, on a pro forma basis as if such transaction had occurred on the last day of the Guarantor’s fiscal quarter then most recently ended), (B) such surviving Person or transferee, as applicable,

  
 61 

 
shall have assumed all of the obligations of the Borrower under and in respect of the Credit Documents by written instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel in their
reasonable discretion, accompanied by such opinions of counsel and other supporting documents as they may reasonably require and (C) such surviving Person or transferee, as applicable, shall be organized under the laws of the United States or
any state thereof; and 
 (iii) any Subsidiary of the Guarantor may merge into the Guarantor or the Borrower or transfer

its assets to any other Person; provided that in each case under this clause (iii), immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (determined, for purposes of compliance with Article VII
after giving effect to such transaction, on a pro forma basis as if such transaction had occurred on the last day of the Guarantor’s fiscal quarter then most recently ended); (B) in the case of any such merger, consolidation or transfer of
assets to which the Borrower is a party, the Borrower shall be the continuing or surviving corporation; (C) in the case of any such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets to which NIPSCO is a party, NIPSCO shall be the continuing or

Section) any substantial part of its assets; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the realization on a Lien permitted to exist under Section 6.01(a); or (ii) any such sale, conveyance, lease, transfer or other
disposition that (A) (1) is for a price not materially less than the fair market value of such assets, (2) would not materially impair the ability of any Credit Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement and
(3) together with all other such sales, conveyances, leases, transfers and other dispositions, would have no Material Adverse Effect, or (B) would not result in the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, in the aggregate, of more than
10% of the consolidated total assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, determined in accordance with GAAP, on December 31, 2015. 

  
 62 

 (d) Compliance with ERISA. (i) Terminate, or permit any ERISA Affiliate to
terminate, any Plan so as to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) permit to exist any occurrence of any Reportable Event (as defined in Title IV of ERISA), or any other event or condition, that presents a material (in the reasonable
opinion of the Required Lenders) risk of such a termination by the PBGC of any Plan, if such termination could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(e) Certain Restrictions. Permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of the Guarantor, the Borrower) to enter into
or permit to exist any agreement that by its terms prohibits such Subsidiary from making any payments, directly or indirectly, to such Credit Party by way of dividends, advances, repayment of loans or advances, reimbursements of management or other

shall not apply to prohibitions and restrictions (i) imposed by applicable law, (ii) (A) imposed under an agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement, and (B) described on Schedule 6.01(e), (iii) existing with
respect to a Subsidiary on the date it becomes a Subsidiary that are not created in contemplation thereof (but shall apply to any extension or renewal of, or any amendment or modification expanding the scope of, any such prohibition or restriction),

Credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and (2) all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice given or declaration made by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall affect (i) the obligation of any LC Bank to make any payment under any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) the
obligations of each Lender in respect of each such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of
the Required Lenders, upon notice to the Borrower, require the Borrower to deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in the cash account (the “Cash Account”) described below equal to the then current LC Outstandings.
Such Cash Account shall at all times be free and clear of all rights or claims of third parties. The Cash Account shall be maintained with the Administrative Agent in the name of, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent,
and amounts deposited in the Cash Account shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate generally offered by Barclays for deposits equal to the amount deposited by the Borrower in the Cash Account pursuant to this Section 8.01, for a term to
be agreed to between 

  
 66 

 
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. If any drawings under any Letter of Credit then outstanding or thereafter made are not reimbursed in full immediately upon demand or, in the case of
subsequent drawings, upon being made, then, in any such event, the Administrative Agent may apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Account, in such priority as the Administrative Agent shall elect, toward the payment in full of any or all of
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when such obligations shall become due and payable. Upon payment in full, after the termination of the Letters of Credit, of all such obligations, the Administrative Agent will repay to the Borrower
any cash then on deposit in the Cash Account.

Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any of such Credit
Party’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of its other Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if applicable, all of the Lenders) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (3) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or
(5) the 

  
 67 

 
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the
conformity thereof to such express requirement. 
 (d) 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Credit
Party) 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. 

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent
as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld), to appoint a successor, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, in any event having total assets in excess of $500,000,000 and who shall serve until such time, if any, as an Agent shall have been appointed as provided
above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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 Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 (g) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. 

  
 68 

 
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

(h) No Lender identified on the signature pages of this Agreement as a “Lead Arranger”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or
“Co-Syndication Agent”, or that is given any other title hereunder other than “LC Bank” or “Administrative Agent”, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other
than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender so identified as a “Lead Arranger”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Co-Syndication Agent” or that is given any other
title hereunder, shall have, or be deemed to have, any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or
not taking action hereunder. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, the authority to
enforce rights and remedies hereunder and in the other Credit Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and
maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders and LC Banks; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from
exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (ii) the LC Banks from exercising the rights and remedies that inure
to its benefit (solely in its capacity as LC Bank) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.18(c)) or
(iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Event relative to any Credit Party; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person
acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 and (B) in addition to the
matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18(c), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by
the Required Lenders. 
 (j) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Extensions of Credit made hereunder are commercial loans and
letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire
or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning
of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in 

  
 69 

 
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will
continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE X 

GUARANTY 

SECTION 10.01. The Guaranty. 

(a) The Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each of their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns (each a “Beneficiary” and collectively, the “Beneficiaries”) the prompt and complete
payment by the Borrower, as and when due and payable, of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. The provisions of this Article X are sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Guaranty”.

 (b) The Guarantor hereby guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents,
regardless of any law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such terms or the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect thereto. The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations or any Credit Document, or any delay, failure or omission to enforce or agreement not to enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court,
by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise of any right with respect to the foregoing (including, in each case, without limitation, as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Beneficiary, the Borrower or any other
Person); (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Credit Documents or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto; (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on or in any collateral, or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any other guaranty of, or agreement granting
security for, all or any of the Obligations; (iv) any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights that the Guarantor may have at any time and from time to time against any Beneficiary or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Transaction or any unrelated transaction; or (v) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other guarantor or surety in respect of the Obligations or the Guarantor
in respect hereof. 
 (c) The Guaranty provided for herein (i) is a guaranty of payment and not of collection; (ii) is a
continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments and Letters of Credit have been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full in cash; and (iii) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Beneficiary upon or as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

  
 70 

 (d) The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be conditioned or
contingent upon the pursuit by any Beneficiary or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person that may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral
security or guaranty therefor or right of setoff with respect thereto. 
 (e) The Guarantor hereby consents that, without the necessity of
any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such Beneficiary and any of the Obligations
continued after such rescission. 
 (f) The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of any
lack of capacity of the Borrower or any lack of validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and this Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or
release of any or all of the Obligations or of any security or guaranty from time to time therefor. 
 (g) The obligations of the Guarantor
under this Guaranty shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding or action, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, marshalling of
assets, assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition with creditors, readjustment, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any similar proceedings or actions, or by any defense the Borrower may have by reason of the order, decree or
decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding or action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts and obligations that constitute the Obligations
and would be owed by the Borrower, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of any such proceeding or action. 

SECTION 10.02. Waivers. 

(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives: (i) promptness and diligence; (ii) notice of or proof of reliance by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; (iii) notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by the Borrower or the renewal, extension or accrual of any Obligation or of any circumstances affecting the
Borrower’s financial condition or ability to perform the Obligations; (iv) notice of any actions taken by the Beneficiaries or the Borrower or any other Person under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto; (v) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the omission
of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 10 might constitute grounds for relieving the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder; (vi) any requirement that the Beneficiaries protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or
any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral; and (vii) each other circumstance, other than payment of the Obligations in full, that might otherwise result in a
discharge or exoneration of, or constitute a defense to, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

  
 71 

 (b) No failure on the part of any Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or
under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. This Guaranty is in addition to and not in limitation of
any other rights, remedies, powers and privileges the Beneficiaries may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter executed by the Guarantor or any other Person or by applicable law or
otherwise. All rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Beneficiaries shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Beneficiaries under this Guaranty against the Guarantor
are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Beneficiaries to exercise any of their rights, remedies, powers or privileges against any other guarantor or surety or under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto against the Borrower or against any other Person. 
 (c) The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, until the Commitments
have been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, under no circumstances shall it be entitled to be subrogated to any rights of any Beneficiary in respect of the Obligations performed by it hereunder or otherwise, and
the Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, until the Commitments have been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, (i) each and every such right of subrogation and any claims, reimbursements, right or
right of action relating thereto (howsoever arising), and (ii) each and every right to contribution, indemnification, set-off or reimbursement, whether from the Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for
any of the Obligations, and whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of the Guarantor’s execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty. 

(d) The Guarantor represents and warrants that it has established adequate means of keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial
condition and of other circumstances affecting the Borrower’s ability to perform the Obligations, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to provide to the Guarantor any information it may have,
or hereafter receive, in respect of the Borrower.

(e) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its

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

(g) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties

The Borrower and each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a
substantially similar Electronic System. 
 (ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and
“as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) and the Credit Parties do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind,
express, implied or statutory, including, without 

  
 74 

 
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 any Agent Party or
any Credit Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) or the Credit Parties have any liability to any
Credit Party, any Lender, Administrative Agent or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System, except to the extent that such damages, losses or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other
material provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this
Section, including through an Electronic System. 
 SECTION 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank 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, the LC Banks 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 any Credit 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, no Extension of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce
any fees or other amounts 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, any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or any interest
thereon, or any fees or other amounts 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 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release the Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty 

  
 75 

 
without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive any of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth in Section 3.01 without the written consent of
each Lender, (vii) issue any Letter of Credit with an expiry date, or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit to a date, that is later than five days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business
Day, the next preceding Business Day) without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) 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 any LC Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such LC Bank, as the case may be. 

SECTION 11.03. 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 counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the initial syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Banks, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for each LC Bank, in connection with the execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of any Letters of Credit to be issued by it hereunder, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
thereof. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, each LC Bank
and each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties, damages,
liabilities and related reasonable 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 this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transaction
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property now, in the past or hereafter owned or operated by
the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of its other Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any of its other Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or 

  
 76 

 
any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, 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 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 11.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any LC Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such LC Bank 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 or such LC
Bank in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and does hereby
waive, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and
(ii) without limiting the rights of indemnification of any Indemnitee set forth in this Agreement with respect to liabilities asserted by third parties, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against each other party,
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 or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
20 days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 11.04. 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; provided that, (i) except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(ii) and (iii), no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender and each LC Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in
accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible
Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the 

  
 77 

 
Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

(A) the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 
 (B) the
Administrative Agent; and 
 (C) each LC Bank. 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) 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, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of such
Lender’s Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in
which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will
be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; 

  
 78 

 (E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no assignment
shall be made to a prospective assignee that bears a relationship to the Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code; and 

(F) no assignment shall be made to any Affiliate of any Credit Party. 

For the purposes of this Section 11.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following
meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment
vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person)) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is
administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or
owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (b) a Defaulting Lender, (c) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated
for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 11.03). 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 a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and other Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks 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. 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire 

  
 79 

 
(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 Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has
been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, any LC
Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, 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 Guarantor and the Administrative Agent 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 11.02(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 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) and (f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as through it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.l5 or 2.17 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. 
  

  
 80 

 (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, without limitation, to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central 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 assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 81 

 SECTION 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 10.01(c)(iii) and 11.03 and Article IX 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 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the commitment letter relating to the credit facility provided hereby (to the extent provided therein) 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 3.01, 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 facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of
like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

SECTION 11.07. 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 11.08.
Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each LC Bank or any Affiliate thereof 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, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such LC Bank or such Affiliate to or for
the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit 

  
 82 

 
Document held by such Lender or such LC Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such LC Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although
such obligations of the Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such LC Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each LC Bank
and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such LC Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and LC Bank agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 11.09. 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 Credit 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 the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, 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, any LC Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Credit 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.

  
 83 

 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 11.01. 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 11.10. 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 11.11. 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. 

SECTION 11.12. 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 and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or derivative transaction or any credit insurance provider, in each case, relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) 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, any LC Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party or (i) on
a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and
monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any
Subsidiary of a Credit Party relating to a Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party or its respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative 

  
 84 

 
Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party; provided that, in the case of information received
from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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.
In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the
Administrative Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. 

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY
INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL
HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE
COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH
LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. 
 SECTION 11.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Credit Parties that
pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Act. 

  
 85 

 SECTION 11.14. Acknowledgments. Each of the Guarantor and the
Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by and consulted with its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors
(to the extent it deemed appropriate) in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; 
 (b)
neither any Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Guarantor or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between any
Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Guarantor and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of
the Guarantor and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any
aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby; 
 (c) it is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; and 
 (d) no joint venture is created hereby or by
the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or among the Guarantor, the Borrower and the Lenders.

to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to
the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such
liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with
the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

by S&P or A2 or higher by Moody’s. 
 “Level II Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt
is rated either A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s. 
 “Level III Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the
Index Debt is rated either BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by Moody’s. 
 “Level IV Status” exists at any date if, at
such date, the Index Debt is rated either BBB by S&P or Baa2 by Moody’s. 
 “Level V Status” exists at any
date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BBB- by S&P or lower or Baa3 by Moody’s or lower, or, no other Status exists. 

“Status” refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or
Level V Status exists at any date. 
 The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Pricing Grid are those assigned to the Index Debt, and any
rating assigned to any other debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded. The rating in effect at any date is that in effect at the close of business on such date. 

Provided, that the applicable Status shall change as and when the applicable Index Debt ratings change. 

  
 Annex A-1 

 Provided further, that if the Index Debt is split-rated, the applicable Status shall be determined on the basis
of the higher of the two ratings then applicable; provided further, that, if the Index Debt is split-rated by two or more levels, the applicable Status shall instead be determined on the basis of the rating that is one level below the higher
of the two ratings then applicable. 
 Provided further, that if both Moody’s and S&P, or their successors as applicable, shall have ceased to
issue or maintain such ratings, then the applicable Status shall be Level V.
