Loans) by both Class and Type, e.g., a “Eurodollar Incremental Term Loan”, indicates that such Loan is both an Incremental Term Loan and a Eurodollar Loan (or that such Borrowing is comprised of such Loans).

revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day, during the Revolving Commitment Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Revolving

Commitments plus the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Within such limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow
Revolving Loans under this Section 2.01(b), prepay Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.07 and reborrow Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01(b). Revolving Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar
Loans or (ii) Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and Section 2.04. 
  
 (c) The Incremental Loans. 
  
 (i) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time and from time to time prior to January 1, 2006,
the Borrower may request pursuant to the procedure set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 2.16, the addition of an Incremental Facility consisting of either an increase to the existing revolving facility or a new tranche

Commitments would exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount. Each Incremental Facility shall: 
  
 (A) be in an amount not less than the excess of $25,000,000 over the amount of any Mission Incremental Facility made simultaneously
therewith; provided that the sum of all then outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans, unused Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Revolving Loans (as that term is defined in the Mission Credit Agreement) of the Mission Borrower and
unused Incremental Revolving Commitments (as that term is defined in the Mission Credit Agreement) of the Mission Borrower shall not exceed $25,000,000; 
  

 46 

 (B) unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, upon the effectiveness of

Agreement, including for purposes of the sharing of Collateral and guarantees under the Guaranty Agreements all on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations; 
  
 (C) have such pricing as may be agreed by the Borrower and
the Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c) and Section 2.16; and 
  
 (D) except as specifically provided in this subsection (D) and subsection (C) above or in Section
2.08, otherwise have all of the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Incremental Revolving Loans) or as the Term C Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Term C
Loans); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans shall be the Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  
 In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all
references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Loans and to Term C Loans shall be deemed, as the context requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement. No Bank
shall have any obligation to make an Incremental Loan unless and until it commits to do so. Subject to the proviso at the end of Section 2.16(a), Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement
pursuant to (x) an amendment (each, an “Incremental Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, each Bank or other approved financial institution agreeing to provide such Commitment (and no other Bank shall be
required to execute such amendment), and the Administrative Agent, and (y) any amendments to the other Loan Documents (executed by the relevant Credit Party and the Administrative Agent only) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem
appropriate to effect such purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment shall be subject to the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of the Borrower executed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that immediately prior to and after giving effect to the incurrence of the Incremental Facility (A) each of the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in or pursuant to the Loan
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, (B) the Borrower is in compliance with each of the financial covenants contained in Section 8.09 and set forth in a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate delivered to the

Administrative Agent, based on financial projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries attached to such certificate which have been prepared on a Pro
Forma Basis giving effect to any Borrowing made hereunder on such date and the consummation of any related transaction and (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or be caused by the incurrence of the Incremental
Facility. 
  
 (ii) So long as (x) the Borrower
shall have given the Administrative Agent no less than five Business Days’ prior notice of the effectiveness thereof and (y) any financial institution not theretofore a Bank which is providing an Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or an
Incremental Term Commitment shall have become a Bank under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment, the Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or Incremental Term Commitment being requested by the Borrower shall become effective under
this Agreement upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment. Upon such effectiveness, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed amended to reflect such Commitments. In the event that an Incremental Facility shall have become effective, the
Bank or Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments shall be deemed to have agreed, severally and not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (A) with respect to Incremental
Term Commitments, to make an Incremental Term Loan in the amount of the Incremental Term Commitment of such Bank on the effective date of the applicable Increment Loan Amendment and (B) with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, to make from
time to time during the period from the date of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment through the Maturity Date, one or more Incremental Revolving Loans to the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03 in an
aggregate principal amount not exceeding at any time the Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Bank at such time.

such loan accounts, be controlling and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive as to the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to the Borrower, the interest and payments thereon and any other amounts owing in respect of this Agreement. Any
failure to make a notation in any such loan account or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. 
  
 (b) Notes. If requested by any Bank, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Bank (and deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) one or more promissory notes evidencing the Loans owing to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

Any such note shall be in a form prescribed by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. 
  
 2.03 Procedure for Borrowing.

  
 (a) Procedure for Revolving Loan
Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments and/or under any Incremental Revolving Commitments comprising an Incremental Facility then in effect, in each case on any
Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing, which Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to
11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date
otherwise, specifying (A) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) the Type or Types of Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (D) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the
respective amounts of each Tranche and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Each Borrowing under the Revolving Commitments or under any Incremental Facility
consisting of Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment is less than
$1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, each Tranche shall be $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing under this Section
2.03(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Bank of such Borrowing. Each Revolving Bank will make the amount of its pro rata share of each requested Borrowing made under the Revolving Facility and the applicable
Incremental Facility, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in
funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Unless any applicable condition as set forth in Article V has not been satisfied, the proceeds of such Borrowing or Borrowings will then be made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 
  
 (b) Procedure for Term C Loan Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (i) under
the Term C Commitments on the Effective Date, and (ii) under any Incremental Facility consisting of Incremental Term Commitments on the effective date of the relevant Incremental Loan Amendment therefor; provided in each case that the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing, which Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing
Date, if all or any part of the Borrowings are to be initially Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date otherwise, requesting that the Banks participating in such 

  

 49 

 
Borrowing make the Term C Loans on the Effective Date or the effective date of the relevant Incremental Loan Amendment, as applicable, and specifying (A) the
aggregate amount of the Borrowing, (B) the Class of Loans comprising such Borrowing, (C) the Type or Types of Term C Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (D) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of
each Tranche (which shall be $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Upon receipt of a Notice
of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing under this Section 2.03(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Bank of such Borrowing. Each Term C Bank will make the amount of its pro rata share of each requested Borrowing
made under the Term C Commitments and each relevant Incremental Term Bank will make its pro rata share of each requested Borrowing made under the applicable Incremental Facility, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Unless any applicable condition as set forth in
Article V has not been satisfied, the proceeds of such Borrowing or Borrowings will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower. 
  
 (c) No Eurodollar
Loans made during an Event of Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to have a Loan be made as a Eurodollar Loan. 
  

(d) Limit on Eurodollar Loans. After giving effect to any Borrowing or Borrowings, there shall not be more than five different
Interest Periods in effect in respect of all Loans which are Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 2.04 Conversion and Continuation Elections for all Borrowings. 
  
 (a) Election for Conversion/Continuation. The Borrower may upon irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice immediately
confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(b): (i) elect to convert on any Business Day, any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof) into Eurodollar Loans; (ii) elect to convert on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, any Eurodollar Loans (or any part thereof in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof) into Base Rate Loans; or (iii) elect to continue on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, any Eurodollar Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof); provided, however that if the aggregate amount of a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $500,000, the
Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor, and on and after such date the right of the 

  

 50 

 
Borrower to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall terminate. 
  
 (b) Notice of Conversion/Continuation. The Borrower
shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 11.02 to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time not less than three Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date
or Continuation Date if any Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans and (ii) 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time not less than one Business Day in advance of the Conversion Date, if any Loans are to be converted into Base Rate
Loans, specifying (A) the proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued, (C) the nature of the proposed conversion or continuation and (D) the
duration of the requested Interest Period, if applicable. 
  
 (c) Failure to Elect Interest Period. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to timely select a new Interest Period, such Loans shall automatically
convert into Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (d) Notice
to Banks. Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the
details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given. 
  
 (e) No Conversion/Continuation During Event of
Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan. 
  
 (f) Limitation on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any
conversion or continuation of any Loans, there shall not be more than five different Interest Periods in effect in respect of all Loans which are Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 2.05 Reduction and Termination of Commitments. 
  
 (a) The Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate or permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, without premium or penalty, by an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, however that no such termination or
reduction shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayment of Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments which are made on the effective date of such termination or reduction (x) the then outstanding principal amount
of all Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments plus the amount of the then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect or (y) the aggregate amount of all Letter of
Credit Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; and 

  

 51 

 
provided further that once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.05(a), the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased. Any
reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied pro rata to each Bank’s Revolving Commitment. All accrued commitment and letter of credit fees to the effective date of any reduction or
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Banks of any such reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitment. 
  
 (b) The Borrower may, upon not
less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Incremental Revolving Commitments under an Incremental Facility, without premium or penalty, by an aggregate minimum amount of
$1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, however that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayment of the Incremental Revolving Loans made under
such Incremental Facility which are made on the effective date of such termination or reduction, the then outstanding principal amount of the Incremental Revolving Loans made under such Incremental Facility would exceed the total amount of such
Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect with respect to such Incremental Facility; and provided further that once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.05(b), such Incremental Revolving Commitments may not be
increased. Any reduction of Incremental Revolving Commitments under an Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied pro rata to each applicable Incremental Revolving Bank’s Incremental Revolving Commitment under
such Incremental Facility. All accrued commitment fees to the effective date of any such reduction or termination of Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the affected Incremental Banks of any such reduction or termination of Incremental Revolving Commitments under an Incremental Facility. 
  

(c) The Aggregate Term C Commitment shall automatically terminate effective as of the day after the Effective Date. The Incremental
Term Commitments under any Incremental Facility shall terminate effective as of the day after the effective date of the Incremental Loan Amendment relating thereto. 
  
 2.06 Voluntary Prepayments. 
  

(a) The Borrower may, prior to 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and prior to 9:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time, upon two Business Days’ written notice on any Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans, prepay Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans, as the
Borrower may elect, in whole or in part, in amounts of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 (b) Any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether
the prepayment is to be made with respect to Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans and the Type of Loans to be 

  

 52 

 
prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each affected Bank thereof and of such Bank’s pro rata portion of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by the Borrower and not withdrawn, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest to each such date on the
amount prepaid and the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall instead be paid on
the next occurring Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (c)
Any prepayment of Term C Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of Term C Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.08(a) pro rata (based on the then remaining amounts of such
remaining installments). 
  
 2.07 Mandatory Prepayments.

  
 (a) (i) If on any date the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments, plus the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations (to the extent not Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) below or as provided for in Section
3.07) exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such excess. Any payments on Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.07(a)(i) shall be
applied pro rata among the Banks with Revolving Commitments. 
  
 (ii) If on any date the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations shall exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize on such date an amount equal to the excess of the Letter
of Credit Obligations over the Letter of Credit Commitment. 
  
 (iii) If on any date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans made under an Incremental Facility exceeds the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments relating
to such Incremental Facility, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such excess. Any payments on Incremental Revolving Loans made under an Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.07(a)(iii) shall be applied pro rata
among the applicable Incremental Banks having Incremental Revolving Commitments with respect to such Incremental Facility. 
  
 (b) (i) If on any date any Nexstar Entity shall make any Disposition (other than the WTVW Disposition), an amount equal to 100% of the Net
Cash Proceeds from such Disposition shall be applied on such date to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans, provided that with respect to no more than $1,000,000
in the aggregate of the Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with any Disposition, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied if no Default or Event of Default then exists and, provided further, that
this requirement for mandatory prepayment will be further reduced to the 

  

 53 

 
extent that the Borrower elects, as hereinafter provided, to attempt to cause some or all of such Net Cash Proceeds to be reinvested in Reinvestment Assets.
The Borrower may elect to attempt to cause some or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Disposition to be reinvested in Reinvestment Assets during the Reinvestment Period (a “Reinvestment Election”) if (x) no Default or Event of
Default exists on the date of such Reinvestment Election and (y) if such Reinvestment Election is made by the delivery of a Reinvestment Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the date of the consummation of such Disposition, with such
Reinvestment Election being effective with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition equal to the Anticipated Reinvestment Amount specified in such Reinvestment Notice. 
  
 (ii) Nothing in this Section 2.07(b) shall be deemed to permit any Disposition not otherwise
permitted under this Agreement. 
  
 (iii) On the
Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to a Reinvestment Election, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, if any, for such Reinvestment Election shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the
Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans. 
  
 (c) Within 90 days after any Nexstar Entity receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses and
taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the collection of the proceeds thereof) shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans;
provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, this requirement for mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by any amounts (i) actually applied on or before such 90th day or (ii) committed in writing on or before such 90th day to be applied to the replacement or restoration of the assets subject to such Recovery Events within 365 days after such Recovery Event and; provided further that with respect to no
more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate of the proceeds received from any Recovery Event, the proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied if no Default or Event of Default then exists. 
  
 (d) On each date which is 90 days after the last day of each
Fiscal Year commencing with the Fiscal Year ending on December 31, 2003, an amount equal to 75% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for such Fiscal Year shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans
on a pro rata basis among such Loans; provided that (A) if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of each of the last two consecutive Fiscal Quarters during such Fiscal Year is equal to or less than 5.50:1.00, an amount
equal to 50%, and not 75%, of the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for such Fiscal Year shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans, and (B) if the Consolidated
Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of each of the last two consecutive Fiscal Quarters during such Fiscal Year is equal to or less than 4.50:1.00, then no payment in respect of such Fiscal Year shall be required pursuant to this Section
2.07(d) and, provided further that with respect to each Fiscal Year, the 

  

 54 

 
amount which would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) may be reduced by $1,000,000 so long as no Default or Event of Default exists
on such 90th day. 
  
 (e) On the Business Day
after the date of the receipt by any Nexstar Entity of Net Issuance Proceeds from any sale or issuance of Capital Stock (including the Permitted Parent Preferred Equity described in Section 8.05(j)) or cash capital contribution other than
Excluded Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans, in an amount equal to 50% of such Net Issuance Proceeds, provided so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such issuance, the amount of the prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.07(e) shall be reduced to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Net Issuance Proceeds are used or
to be used in connection with an Acquisition made in accordance with the terms of Section 8.04 (including by waiver or consent) which a Nexstar Entity commits to in writing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (or similar agreement) prior
to or not later than six months after the date of such issuance; provided further that at any time after the expiration of the six month period, if (A) the definitive agreement executed in connection with any such Acquisition is
terminated, expired or otherwise becomes ineffective prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, (B) the Borrower is no longer pursuing the consummation of the Acquisition in good faith or (C) such Acquisition is not consummated within 18 months
from the date the Nexstar Entity committed in writing to such Acquisition, then the amount of prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.07(e) shall be increased by the amount of such Net Issuance Proceeds that were not used to
consummate such Acquisition. 
  
 (f) If on any
date any Nexstar Entity shall incur or issue any Indebtedness (other than the Permitted Parent Preferred Equity described in Section 8.05(j) and Indebtedness described in subsections (a) – (d), (f) – (i) of Section 8.05),
then on each such date of incurrence or issuance an amount equal to the amount of the Net Debt Proceeds received with respect to such Indebtedness shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro
rata basis among such Loans; provided so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such incurrence or issuance, the amount of the prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.07(f) shall be reduced to
the extent (but only to the extent) that such Net Debt Proceeds are used or to be used in connection with an Acquisition made in accordance with Section 8.04 (including by waiver or consent) which a Nexstar Entity commits to in writing
pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (or similar agreement) prior to or not later than six months after the date of such incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness; provided further that at any time after the expiration of the six
month period, if (A) the definitive agreement executed in connection with any such Acquisition is terminated, expired or otherwise becomes ineffective prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, (B) the Borrower is no longer pursuing the
consummation of the Acquisition in good faith or (C) such Acquisition is not consummated within 18 months from the date the Nexstar Entity committed in writing to such Acquisition, then the amount of prepayments required to be made under this
Section 2.07(f) shall be increased by the amount of such Net Debt Proceeds that were not used to consummate such Acquisition. 
  

 55 

 (g) On the date any Nexstar Entity shall make the WTVW Disposition, an amount equal to
100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans, provided that so long as there exists no Default or Event of Default both before and after giving effect to
the WTVW Disposition, if Net Cash Proceeds remain after all outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans has been paid in full, the Borrower may retain the remaining Net Cash Proceeds from the WTVW Disposition. 
  
 (h) The Borrower shall pay, together with each prepayment
under this Section 2.07, accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a
prepayment in full) shall instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (i) Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.07 made on a day other than an Interest Payment Date for any Loan shall be applied
first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to Eurodollar Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. 
  
 (j) Any prepayment of Term C Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of Term C
Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.08(a), pro rata (based on the then remaining amounts of such remaining installments). 
  
 (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.07, any Term C Bank may elect, by delivering written
notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the receipt thereof, not to receive its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment that would otherwise be payable to such Term C Bank pursuant to this Section 2.07, whereupon such portion shall
be reallocated to prepay the outstanding principal amount of all Term C Loans and Revolving Loans other than the Term C Loans held by such Term C Bank and any other Term C Bank that has elected not to receive its pro rata portion of such mandatory
prepayment, on a pro rata basis among such Loans. 
  

 56

 (a) The Term C Loans. (i) Subject to subsection (ii)
below, the Term C Loans shall mature, and the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), on the Maturity Date. In addition, on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter
(or, in the case of the final principal installment to be repaid in Fiscal Year 2010, on the Stated Term C Maturity Date), commencing on March 31, 2004, the Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable, a quarterly principal
installment on the Term C Loans in an amount equal to one quarter of the following annual percentage reductions for each Fiscal Year set forth below of the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Term C Loan Balance on March 31, 2004 plus the initial

 The
aggregate principal amount of each installment paid during any Fiscal Year on the Term C Loans shall in each case be an amount equal to the applicable annual percentage reduction set forth above with respect to such Fiscal Year, divided by
the number of quarterly installments to be made during such Fiscal Year (with the last installment in Fiscal Year 2010, to be made on the Stated Term C Maturity Date, deemed a quarterly installment for purposes of this Section 2.08(a)).

  
 (ii) The applicable Incremental Loan
Amendment may provide for scheduled repayments of any Incremental Term Loans, subject to the requirements of the definition of Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  

(b) Application of Term C Loan Payments. Subject to Section 2.07(k), any payment made on Term C Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.08, Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 shall be applied pro rata to each Bank’s Term C Loans in accordance with such Bank’s Term C Facility Percentage (and, in the case of a Bank with both Incremental Term Loans
and Term C Loans that are not Incremental Term Loans, allocated ratably among such Bank’s Incremental Term Loans and Term C Loans that are not Incremental Term Loans). 
  
 (c) The Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan (including all Incremental Revolving Loans) shall
mature, and the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (d) All Obligations. The aggregate outstanding amount of all Loans, all Letter of Credit Borrowings,
all fee and expenses and all other outstanding and unpaid Obligations shall be due and payable in full on December 31, 2010; except for Incremental Term Loans which shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  

 57 

 (e) Application of Revolving Loan Payments. Any payment made on Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.08, Section 2.06, or subsections (b) – (g) of Section 2.07 shall be applied pro rata to each Bank’s Revolving Loans in accordance with such Bank’s Revolving Facility Percentage (and, in
the case of a Bank with both Incremental Revolving Loans and Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving Loans, allocated ratably among such Bank’s Incremental Revolving Loans and Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving
Loans). 
  
 2.09 Fees. In addition to fees described in
Section 3.08: 
  
 (a) Commitment
Fees. 
  
 (i) The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Bank with a Revolving Commitment, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the Aggregate Revolving
Commitment shall have been terminated in full, an aggregate commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”) on the daily average amount of the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment equal to 0.500% per annum for any period that
the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the most recent Leverage Ratio Determination Date for such period is greater than or equal to 5.50 to 1.00 and 0.375% per annum for any period that the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the most
recent Leverage Ratio Determination Date for such period is less than 5.50 to 1.00. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall begin to accrue on and after the Effective Date and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on
which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated in full. 
  
 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank with an Incremental Revolving Commitment, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the earlier of
the Maturity Date and the date on which each Incremental Revolving Commitment of a Bank shall have been terminated in full, the Incremental Commitment Fee for each Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Bank on the daily average amount of each of
such Bank’s aggregate unutilized Incremental Revolving Commitments. Each Incremental Commitment Fee shall begin to accrue on and after the date when the related Incremental Revolving Commitment shall have become effective hereunder and shall
cease to accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall have been terminated in full. 
  
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay such other fees as have been, or may be, agreed upon between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent from time to time. 
  
 (c)
Fees under Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all fees which, as of the Effective Date, remain outstanding under the Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement will be due and payable on the

  

 58 

 
first payment date scheduled for payment of such fees under this Agreement occurring after the Effective Date. 
  
 2.10 Computation of Fees and Interest. 
  
 (a) All computations of commitment fees, and of interest
payable in respect of Base Rate Loans based upon the prime rate, shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest under this Agreement shall be made on
the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Banks of each determination of the Eurodollar Rate; provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan
resulting from a change in the Applicable Margin or the Incremental Margin relating thereto shall become effective as of the opening of business on the relevant date of such change. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the
Banks of the effective date and the amount of each such change; provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder. 
  
 (c) Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks in the absence of manifest error. 
  
 2.11 Interest. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Section 2.11(d) below, each Term C Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the Borrowing Date applicable thereto until it becomes due and payable at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, or the Eurodollar Rate, as selected by the Borrower from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.03
and 2.04, plus the Applicable Margin or Incremental Margin, as the case may be, with respect to the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate then in effect. 
  
 (b) Any change in the Applicable Margin or the applicable Incremental Margin due to a change in the
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be effective on the applicable Adjustment Date and shall apply to all Loans that are outstanding at any time during the period commencing on such Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding
the next Adjustment Date. 
  
 (c) Interest on
each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any portion of any Loan (excluding Base Rate Loans, which such interest shall be paid on the next occurring Interest
Payment Date) for the portion of such Loans so prepaid. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand. 
  

 59 

 (d) If any amount of principal of or interest on any Loan, or any other regularly
scheduled amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, is not paid in full when due and payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise), after giving effect to any applicable grace periods, the Borrower shall
pay interest (after as well as before judgment) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans at the applicable rate per annum provided in this Section 2.11plus 2%, and on all other amounts (including interest) at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus 2%. 
  
 (e)
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but
only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Bank would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or
received by such Bank, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Bank interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. 
  
 2.12 Payments by the Borrower. 
  
 (a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest, drawings under Letters of Credit,
fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to drawings under Letters of Credit and
elsewhere herein, be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the relevant Banks at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Dallas,
Texas time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each relevant Bank its share, if any, of such principal, interest, fees or other amounts, in like funds as received. Any payment which is received by the
Administrative Agent later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such payment is deemed to have been
received. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be,
subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of the term of “Interest Period” herein. 
  
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Banks hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent as required hereunder on such date in immediately available funds
and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each relevant Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. 

  

 60 

 
If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each relevant Bank shall repay to the Administrative
Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate as in effect for each such day. 
  
 2.13 Payments by the
Banks to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank on the Effective Date or, with respect to each Borrowing after the Effective Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing, that such Bank will not
make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount of such Bank’s pro rata share of the applicable Commitments to which such Borrowing relates, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent as required hereunder on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, such
Bank shall immediately make such amount available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the date of such Borrowing to the date on which the Administrative Agent recovers such amount from such Bank. A
notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.13(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available by the relevant Bank, such payment to the
Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank’s Loan on the Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest
thereon for each day elapsed since such Borrowing Date, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. 
  
 (b) The obligations of the Banks hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Bank
to make any Loan committed to by such Bank on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make Loans committed to by such other Bank on such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Bank to make Loans committed to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date. 
  
 2.14 Sharing of Payments, etc. 
  
 (a) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of Obligations relating to Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans, as 

  

 61 

 
the case may be, owing to it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its
Revolving Facility Percentage and/or Term C Facility Percentage, as applicable, such Bank shall forthwith (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase from the other relevant Banks such participations in such Obligations
relating to Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans, as applicable, made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Banks; provided, however, that if
all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other relevant Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together
with an amount equal to such paying Bank’s commitment percentage (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such paying Bank’s required repayment to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or
other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant
to this Section 2.14 and will in each case notify the relevant Banks following any such purchases. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the
amount of such participation. 
  
 2.15 Security Documents and
Guaranty Agreements. 
  
 (a) All Obligations
under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in accordance with the Security Documents. 
  
 (b) All Obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Guarantors and the
Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the Nexstar Guaranty Agreement. 
  
 2.16 Procedure for Incremental Loan Requests. 
  
 (a) When the Borrower wishes to request one or more Banks or other financial institutions approved by the Administrative Agent (in each case, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to provide proposals for the
providing of an Incremental Facility consisting of Incremental Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, the Borrower may solicit requests from any such Banks or other financial institutions for the providing of (i) a commitment for
an Incremental Revolving Loan (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) or an Incremental Term Loan (each, an “Incremental Term Commitment”), as the case may be, and (ii) as applicable to such Incremental
Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments, (x) the upfront fee to be charged by such Banks or other financial institutions in connection with the providing of such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments (any
such upfront fee, each an “Incremental Upfront Fee”), (y) the 

  

 62 

 
commitment fee to be charged by such Banks or other financial institutions with respect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term
Commitments (any such commitment fee, each an “Incremental Commitment Fee”) and (z) the margins to be added by such Banks or other financial institutions to the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate for Loans made under such Incremental
Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Commitments (any such margin, an “Incremental Margin”). Upon the selection by the Borrower of Banks or other financial institutions, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of the Banks or other financial institutions selected and the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Incremental Term Commitments, the Incremental Upfront Fee, Incremental Commitment Fee and the Incremental Margin as agreed
upon by the Borrower and such Banks or other financial institutions; provided, that if such Incremental Margin for Incremental Revolving Loans is greater than the margin set forth for Revolving Loans in the definition of
“Applicable Margin” contained in Section 1.01, or if such Incremental Commitment Fees are greater than the Revolving Commitment Fee set forth in Section 2.09(a), the Incremental Loan Amendment pursuant to which such proposed
Incremental Commitments are to be made available shall not become effective unless the prior written consent of the Majority Banks has been obtained, and provided, further, that if, pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment, any
net yield for the related Incremental Term Loans is in excess of 25 basis points above the comparable margin set forth for Term C Loans in the definition of “Applicable Margin” contained in Section 1.01, the Applicable Margin for
outstanding Term C Loans shall automatically be increased to any extent required so that the margin applicable thereto is 25 basis points less than the margin for such Incremental Term Loans without any action or consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Bank. 
  
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and agreed that (i) there shall be no more than (x) five different Incremental Margins in effect in respect of all Incremental Loans and (y) five different Interest Periods
in effect in respect of all Loans (including Incremental Loans) which are Eurodollar Loans; and (ii) if no Incremental Margin is agreed upon, with respect to any given Incremental Facility, then the Incremental Margin shall be deemed to be (x) the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans (other than Incremental Revolving Loans) as in effect from time to time if the commitment is an Incremental Revolving Commitment or (y) the Applicable Margin for Term C Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans)
as in effect from time to time if the commitment is an Incremental Term Commitment. 
  
 (c) From time to time, the Borrower and the Banks shall furnish such information to the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent
may request relating to the providing of an Incremental Loan, including the amounts, interest rates, and dates of Borrowings thereof, for purposes of the allocation of amounts received from the Borrower for payment on all amounts owing hereunder.

  

 63

 LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  
 3.01 Letter of Credit Subfacility. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Issuing Bank agrees in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks
set forth in this Article III, (A) from time to time, on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the date which is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and 3.02(d), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Banks with Revolving Commitments
severally agree to participate in such Letters of Credit; provided however that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit if as of the date of, and after giving effect to, the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (x) the
aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or (y) the Letter of Credit Obligations shall
exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment. 
  
 (b)
The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
  
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from
issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or
request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which
the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
  
 (ii) the Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable
conditions contained in Article V is not then satisfied; 
  
 (iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit (x) is more than one year after the date of issuance, unless the Majority Banks and the Issuing Bank have approved such expiry date in writing or (y) is later
than the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans; 
  

 64 

 (iv) any requested Letter of Credit is not in form and substance acceptable to the
Issuing Bank, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank; 
  
 (v) any standby Letter of Credit is for the purpose of supporting the issuance of any letter of credit by any other Person; or 

 
 (vi) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than
$20,000 or to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars. 
  
 3.02 Procedures for Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon (x) the irrevocable written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a
copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least four Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance and (y) approval by the
Administrative Agent of such request. Each request by the Borrower for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original writing, in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, and shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed date of issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. 
  
 (b) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, the Issuing Bank will,
upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least five days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole
discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, upon approval by the Administrative Agent of such request amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed
promptly in an original writing, made in the form of a Letter of Credit Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A)
the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of
Credit. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt of any
Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the 

  

 65 

 
Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of confirmation from the
Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of
the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. 
  
 (d) The Issuing Bank and the Banks agree that, while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the
Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, at the option of the Borrower and upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least five days (or such shorter time as the
Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such
request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original writing, in the form of a Letter of Credit Amendment Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the
Letter of Credit to be renewed; (ii) the proposed date of notification of renewal of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the revised expiry date of the Letter of Credit; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may
reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to renew any Letter of Credit if the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement.
If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal the Issuing
Bank would be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.02(d) upon the request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall not have received any Letter of Credit Amendment Application
from the Borrower with respect to such renewal or other written direction by the Borrower with respect thereto, the Issuing Bank shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to be renewed, and the Borrower and the Banks hereby
authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have received a Letter of Credit Amendment Application from the Borrower requesting such renewal. 
  
 (e) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any Letter of Credit Related Document
(other than any Letter of Credit, the provisions of which shall control in any event). 
  
 (f) The Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit,
or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit. 
  

 66 

 3.03 Participations, Drawings and Reimbursements. 
  
 (a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit,
each Bank with a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of
(i) the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Bank multiplied by (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. 
  
 (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter
of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Borrower. The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on the same date that any amount is paid by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such
date, a “Disbursement Date”), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank, provided that if such drawing occurs after 11:00 A.M. (Dallas, Texas time) the Disbursement Date shall be deemed to be the
Business Day following the date of such drawing. In the event the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 11:00 A.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Disbursement Date, the
Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Revolving Loans be made
by the Banks with Revolving Commitments (and hereby irrevocably consents to such deemed request) pursuant to Section 2.01(b) to be disbursed on the Disbursement Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the Aggregate
Available Revolving Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03. Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing
(including by facsimile); provided, however, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
  
 (c) Each Bank (including the Bank acting as Issuing Bank) which has a Revolving Commitment shall upon
receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 3.03(b) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
amount of the drawing, whereupon each participating Bank with Revolving Commitments shall (subject to Section 3.03(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in that amount. If
any Bank so notified shall fail to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing by no later than 1:00 P.M. (Dallas, Texas
time) on the Disbursement Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank’s obligation to make such payment, from the Disbursement Date to the date such Bank makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect
from time to time during the period commencing on the later of the Disbursement Date and the date such Bank receives notice of the Disbursement Date prior to 1:00 P.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on such date and ending on the date three Business Days
thereafter and (ii) thereafter at the Base Rate as in effect from time to time. The Administrative 

  

 67 

 
Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of a Disbursement Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on a Disbursement
Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations under this Section 3.03. A certificate of the Issuing Bank to any Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing which is not converted into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Revolving Loans to the
Borrower in whole or in part because the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment is less than such unreimbursed drawing or because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.03, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the amount of such drawing, which Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus, in the case of any Letter of Credit Borrowing outstanding after the Disbursement Date, 2% per annum, and each Bank’s payment to the Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 3.03(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing. 
  
 (e) The obligation of each Bank with a Revolving Commitment to make Revolving Loans or fund its participation in any Letter of Credit
Borrowing, as contemplated by this Section 3.03, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a
Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 3.04 Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank of funds from the Borrower (i) in
reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Bank has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank for such Bank’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant
to Section 3.03, or (ii) in payment of interest on amounts described in clause (i), the Administrative Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, the
amount of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, and the Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Bank that did not so pay the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank. 
  

 68 

 (b) If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to
the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 3.04(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank the amount of
its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Bank to the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time. 
  
 3.05 Role of the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (a) Each Bank and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or
delivering any such document. 
  
 (b) The Issuing
Bank, any Agent-Related Person and its correspondents, participants and assignees shall not be liable to any Bank for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Banks or the Majority Banks;
(ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Related Document. 
  
 (c) The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may
have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. The Issuing Bank, any Agent-Related Person and its correspondents, participants and assignees shall not be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (a) through (g) of Section 3.06; provided, however that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank
may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves was caused by the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or
gross negligence or the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and
(ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits 

  

 69 

 
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
  
 3.06 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement and any Letter of Credit Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any Letter of Credit Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other Letter of Credit Related Document under all circumstances, including the following: (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Related Document; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Related Documents; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Credit Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or
any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, any other Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by the Letter of Credit Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; (d) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit; (e) any payment by the Issuing Bank under any
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
Insolvency Proceeding; (f) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any
Letter of Credit; or (g) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will
immediately notify the Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 3.07 Cash Collateral Pledge. Upon (a) the request of the
Administrative Agent, (i) if the Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request on any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of Credit Borrowing hereunder, or (ii) if, as of the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans,
any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (b) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or (c) the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 2.07(a)(ii) requiring the
Borrower to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Obligations (or in the case of clause (c) above, the excess amount
required pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(ii)) and such cash will 

  

 70 

 
be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Banks hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent,
and during the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, upon the request of the Majority Banks, apply such amounts so held to the payment of such outstanding Obligations; provided that on a date upon which no
Default or Event of Default exists and no Letter of Credit Obligations remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower, will duly release the cash held hereunder as security in any cash collateral account and
shall assign, transfer and deliver to the Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such cash as is then being released and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 3.08 Letter of Credit Fees. 
  
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for
the account of each Bank with a Revolving Commitment) a letter of credit fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans (as in effect from time to time during the period
of calculation thereof), computed on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn on each Letter of Credit outstanding for the relevant period. Such Letter of Credit fee shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for
Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall pay
to the Issuing Bank a letter of credit fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank equal to 0.25% per annum of the entire amount available to be drawn from time to time under each such issued Letter of Credit. Such Letter of
Credit fronting fee shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand the normal issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. 
  
 3.09 Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (a)
the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter
of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published
by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.10 Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms
of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

 ARTICLE IV. 
  
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 4.01 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 4.01(h), any and all payments by a Credit Party to any Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such taxes (including income taxes or franchise taxes) as are imposed on or measured by such Person’s net income by the jurisdiction under the laws
of which such Person is organized or has its principal office or maintains a Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as “Taxes”). 
  
 (b)
In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 4.01(h), the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, each Agent and Agent-Related Person for
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under Section 4.01(d)) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest,
additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. 
  
 (d) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, then, subject to Section 4.01(h): 
  
 (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 4.01(d)) such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; 
  
 (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and

  
 (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  

 72 

 (e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. 
  
 (f) Each Bank which is organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States agrees that: 
  
 (i) it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case of a Bank which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 11.07 after the Effective Date, the date upon which such Bank becomes a party hereto)
deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (“Form W-8BEN”), or two accurate and complete signed originals of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (“Form W-8ECI”), as appropriate, in each case indicating that such Bank is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement free from
withholding of United States Federal income tax; 
  
 (ii) if at any time such Bank makes any changes, including a change of a Lending Office or its principal office, place of incorporation or fiscal residence, necessitating a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, it shall, to the extent it is
legally entitled to do so, promptly deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent in replacement for, or in addition to, the forms previously delivered by it hereunder, two accurate and complete signed originals of Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8ECI, as appropriate, in each case indicating that such Bank is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement free from withholding of United States Federal income tax; 
  
 (iii) it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, before or promptly after the occurrence of any event, including the passing of time but excluding any event mentioned in Section 4.01(f)(ii), requiring a change in or renewal of the most recent Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI previously
delivered by such Bank, deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI in replacement for the forms previously delivered by such Bank indicating that such Bank
continues to be entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement free from any withholding of any United States Federal income tax; 
  
 (iv) it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, promptly upon the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable request to that effect, deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) such other forms or similar documentation as may be required from time to time by any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation in order to
establish such Bank’s complete exemption from withholding on all payments under this Agreement; 
  

 73 

 (v) if such Bank claims or is entitled to claim exemption from withholding tax under a
United States tax treaty by providing a Form W-8ECI and such Bank sells or grants a participation of all or part of its rights under this Agreement, such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer
the beneficial owner under this Agreement. To the extent of this percentage amount, the Administrative Agent shall treat such Bank’s Form W-8ECI as no longer in compliance with this Section 4.01(f). In the event a Bank claiming exemption
from United States withholding tax by filing Form W-8BEN with the Administrative Agent sells or grants a participation in its rights under this Agreement, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax
requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code; and 
  
 (vi) without limiting or restricting any Bank’s right to increased amounts under Section 4.01(d) from the Borrower upon satisfaction of such Bank’s obligations under the provisions of this Section
4.01(f), if such Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) withhold from any interest to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after
taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other administrative documentation required by Section 4.01(f)(i) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall withhold from any interest payment to a
Bank not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax and in addition, the Administrative Agent shall also withhold against periodic payments other than interest payments to the extent United
States withholding tax is not eliminated by obtaining Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorney-in-fact, on an
after tax basis, from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind whatsoever incurred as a result of or in
connection with the Administrative Agent’s failure to withhold as provided pursuant to the preceding sentence, unless such failure constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent itself as the same is determined
by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and the obligations in this sentence shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 
  
 (g) The Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States Federal government
pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) or 4.01(d) to any Bank: 
  
 (i) if and to the extent the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Bank to comply with its obligations under Section 4.01(f) in respect of its Lending Office;

  

 74 

 (ii) if such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form W-8BEN in respect of its
Lending Office pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(i)-(iii) or such other forms or similar documentation pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iv), to the extent such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from all withholding of United
States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in United States law or regulations or in the official interpretation of such law or regulations by
any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8BEN or such other forms or similar documentation; or 
  
 (iii) if such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a
Form W-8ECI in respect of its Lending Office pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(i)-(iii) or such other forms or similar documentation pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iv), to the extent such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from
all deductions or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in United States law or regulations or any applicable tax
treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of
delivery of such Form W-8ECI or such other forms or similar documentation. 
  
 (h) Each Bank agrees that it shall, at any time upon reasonable advance request in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, promptly deliver such certification or other documentation as may be required
under the law or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction and which such Bank is entitled to submit to avoid or reduce withholding taxes on amounts to be paid by the Borrower and received by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. 
  
 (i) The Borrower shall indemnify
each Bank, each Agent and each Agent-Related Person, to the extent required by this Section 4.01, within 30 days after receipt of written request from such Bank or the Administrative Agent thereof accompanied by a written statement describing
in reasonable detail the Taxes or Other Taxes that are the subject of the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. 
  
 (j) If a Bank or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund of any withholding Taxes or Other Taxes
paid by the Borrower under this Section 4.01 from the taxing authority imposing such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to obtain such
refund and upon receipt thereof, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the amount so received. 
  
 (k) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.01(d), then
such Bank shall, upon the Borrower’s request, use its reasonable best efforts (consistent with policy considerations of such Bank) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to reduce or eliminate 

  

 75 

 
any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change in the reasonable judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

  
 (l) Each Bank agrees that it will (i) take
all reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Borrower (consistent with policy considerations by such Bank) to maintain all exemptions, if any, available to it from withholding taxes (whether available by treaty or existing administrative
waiver), and (ii) to the extent reasonable, otherwise cooperate with the Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 4.01, in any case described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), however, only if such
action or cooperation is not disadvantageous to such Bank in the reasonable judgment of such Bank. 
  
 4.02 Illegality. 
  
 (a) If any Bank shall determine that (i) the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or (ii) any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for any Bank or its Lending Office, to make a Eurodollar Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan
to a Eurodollar Loan, then, on notice thereof by such Bank to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Bank to make or convert any such Loans shall be suspended, and any such Loan to be made or continued by such Bank
shall instead be made or continued as a Base Rate Loan, until such Bank shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 
  
 (b) If a Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to
maintain any Eurodollar Loan, all Eurodollar Loans of such Bank then outstanding shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans, and the Borrower shall pay any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 4.04. 
  
 (c) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 4.02, the affected Bank shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the
judgment of such Bank, be illegal, inconsistent with the policies of such Bank or otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
  
 4.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
  
 (a) If any Bank or the Issuing Bank shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation
or administration of any law or regulation (other than any law or regulation relating to taxes, including those relating to Taxes or Other Taxes) after the Effective Date or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Effective Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to 

  

 76 

 
such Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or participating in any Letter of Credit Obligations, or any increase in
the cost to the Issuing Bank of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall
from time to time, upon demand therefor by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional
amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank for such increased costs. 
  
 (b) If any Bank or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective
Date, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective Date, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof after the Effective Date, or (iv) compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, with
any Capital Adequacy Regulation adopted after the Effective Date, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or the Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Issuing Bank and
(taking into consideration such Bank’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s desired return on capital) determines
that the amount of such capital is (or is required to be) increased as a consequence of its Commitments, Loans, participations in Letters of Credit, or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Bank or the Issuing Bank (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be liable for and shall immediately pay to such Bank or the Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or the
Issuing Bank for such increase. 
  
 4.04 Funding Losses.
The Borrower shall reimburse each Bank and hold each Bank harmless from any loss, cost or expense (other than loss of margin) which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal
of any Eurodollar Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a Eurodollar Loan or continue a Eurodollar Loan when such Eurodollar Loan is due and payable or convert a Base Rate Loan to a
Eurodollar Loan after the Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing, or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as the case may be; (c) any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrower has given a notice in
accordance with Section 2.06; or (d) any payment or prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.07 or after acceleration thereof) of any Eurodollar Loan for any reason whatsoever on a day which is not the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto; including in each case any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain any Eurodollar Loan hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained. 
  
 4.05 Inability to Determine
Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, in relation to any proposed Eurodollar Loan, (a) the Administrative Agent 

  

 77 

 
shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank
markets adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Banks that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to
be determined for any Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such affected Interest Period, then, the obligation of
the Banks to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Banks, as applicable, revokes such notice in writing.
If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.05, any Bank has made available to the Borrower its pro rata share of any such proposed Eurodollar Loan, then the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount so made available to it by such
Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, if any, or shall convert such proposed Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 4.06 Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Bank, if and as long as such Bank shall be required under regulations of the
Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which
interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from the Bank. If a Bank fails to give
such notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable 15 days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice. 
  

4.07 Certificates of Banks. Any Bank (including the Issuing Bank) claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article IV
shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Person hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence
of manifest error. 
  
 4.08 Change of Lending Office,
Replacement Bank. 
  
 (a) Each Bank agrees
that upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.02 or 4.03 with respect to such Bank, it will if so requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such section; provided however that such
designation would not, in the sole judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Nothing in this Section 4.08(a) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in
Section 4.02 or 4.03. 
  
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) upon the occurrence of any event that obligates the Borrower to pay 

  

 78 

 
any amount under Section 4.01 or giving rise to the operation of Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 with respect to any Bank or (ii) as
provided in Section 11.01(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Bank to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Majority Banks, the Borrower
shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Bank (the “Replaced Bank”) by designating another Bank or an Eligible
Assignee (such Bank or Eligible Assignee being herein called a “Replacement Bank”) to which such Replaced Bank shall assign, in accordance with Section 11.07 and without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such
Replaced Bank, the rights and obligations of such Replaced Bank hereunder (except for such rights as survive repayment of the Loans), and, upon such assignment, such Replaced Bank shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder and
such Replacement Bank shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Replaced Bank hereunder. The Borrower shall pay to such Replaced Bank in same day funds on the date of replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing such
Replaced Bank by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of replacement, including, without limitation, costs incurred under Sections 4.01, 4.02 and/or 4.03. 
  
 4.09 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower set forth in this Article IV shall survive the
payment of all other Obligations.

 86

execution, delivery and performance by each Nexstar Entity of this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Nexstar Entity is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action,

have a Material Adverse Effect, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Nexstar

long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in its financial statements or in the schedules or notes thereto
and which would be required by GAAP to be disclosed therein (or in the notes and schedules thereto). Since September 30, 2003, there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, and all other such factual information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Nexstar Entity to the Administrative Agent or any Bank will be, true and accurate in every
material respect on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time such information was

Nexstar Entity has caused or permitted any Hazardous Material to be disposed of or otherwise released, to its best knowledge, either from, on or under any property currently or formerly legally or beneficially owned or operated by, or otherwise used

Materials or otherwise contains or contained Hazardous Materials which usage has had or is reasonably likely to have, a Material 

  

 90 

 
Adverse Effect. The failure, if any, of any Nexstar Entity, in connection with their current and former properties or their businesses, to be in compliance
with any Environmental Law or to obtain any permit, certificate, license, approval and other authorization under such Environmental Laws has not had, and is not reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. No Nexstar Entity has entered
into, has agreed to or is subject to any judgment, decree or order or other similar requirement of any Governmental Authority under any Environmental Law, including without limitation, relating to compliance or to investigation, cleanup, remediation

have, a Material Adverse Effect.

question. Each Station has been and is being operated in all material respects in accordance with the terms and conditions of the FCC Licenses applicable to it and the rules and regulations of the FCC and the Communications Act of 1934, as amended

the imposition of any fines, forfeitures or other administrative actions by the FCC with respect to any Station or its operation, other than any matters which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material

have been timely filed, and all such reports, applications and documents are true, correct and complete in all respects, except where the failure to make such timely filing or any inaccuracy therein could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and no Nexstar Entity has knowledge of any matters which could reasonably be expected to result in the suspension or revocation of or the refusal to renew any of the FCC Licenses or the imposition on any Nexstar Entity of
any material fines or forfeitures by the FCC, or which could reasonably 

  

 91 

 
be expected to result in the revocation, rescission, reversal or modification of any Station’s authorization to operate as currently authorized under
the Communications Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the FCC. 
  
 (e) There are no unsatisfied or otherwise outstanding citations issued by the FCC with respect to any Station or its operations. The Borrower has delivered to the Banks true and complete copies of all FCC Licenses

the Permitted Parent Preferred Equity; provided that upon the earlier of six months after such sale or issuance of such Permitted Parent Preferred Equity or the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Net Issuance Proceeds from such sale or
issuance of such Permitted Parent Preferred Equity are contributed to the Borrower as cash common equity on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

 118 

 
(i) cure such Events of Default under Sections 8.09(a) and/or (b) by receiving equity contributions from an ABRY Fund and/or Sook (and/or other
Persons exercising preemptive rights in connection with an equity issuance to one or more of them), and applying the proceeds therefrom to repay Loans and/or to reduce Commitments so that the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated

forth in Sections 8.09(a) and (b); and (ii) cure such Event or Events of Default under Sections 8.09(c) and/or (d) by receiving equity contributions from ABRY Fund and/or Sook (and/or other Persons exercising preemptive

effect to any such addition and application of proceeds, as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter for which such Event of Default occurred, shall not be less than the relevant ratios set forth in Section 8.09(c) and (d). The provisions
of this paragraph may not be utilized in consecutive quarters, nor more than four times prior to the Maturity Date.

due and payable and the Letter of Credit Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent in the following order: 
  
 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article IV) payable to the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such; 
  
 Second, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Banks (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article IV), ratably among them in proportion to
the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 
  
 Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third

 119 

 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of Letter of Credit Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and 
  
 Sixth, to any remaining outstanding and unpaid Obligations, ratably among the Banks in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause Sixth held by them; and 
  
 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law. 
  
 Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant
to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining
amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 
  
 ARTICLE X. 
  
 THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, THE SYNDICATION  
 AGENT, THE LEAD ARRANGERS AND JOINT BOOK MANAGERS

  
 10.01 Appointment and Authorization. 
  
 (a) Each of the Banks and the Issuing Bank hereby
irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or participant, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
  
 (b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative 

  

 120 

 
Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article X and in the definition of
“Agent-Related Person” included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Syndication Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or participant, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Syndication Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the
use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Syndication Agent (if applicable) is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
  
 10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the
Syndication Agent may execute any of their duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 10.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with
its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other
Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall
be under any obligation to any Bank or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books
or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
  
 10.04
Reliance by the Agents. 
  
 (a) The Agents
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, 

  

 121 

 
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent. The Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and,
if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly required hereby in any instance)
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks. 
  
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, each Bank that has
signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. 
  
 10.05 Notice of Default. The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to
defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default as may be directed by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks. 
  
 10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agents. Each Bank acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person
has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Bank represents to the Agents that it
has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to 

  

 122 

 
extend credit to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

  
 10.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. WHETHER
OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED, THE BANKS SHALL INDEMNIFY UPON DEMAND EACH AGENT-RELATED PERSON (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY CREDIT PARTY AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF ANY CREDIT PARTY TO
DO SO), PRO RATA, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH AGENT-RELATED PERSON FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY IT (WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT-RELATED PERSON); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO
BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT TO ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES TO THE EXTENT DETERMINED IN A FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH AGENT-RELATED
PERSON’S OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO ACTION TAKEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTIONS OF THE MAJORITY BANKS SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT FOR PURPOSES
OF THIS SECTION. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH BANK SHALL REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE OF ANY COSTS OR OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY COSTS) INCURRED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY OR REFERRED TO HEREIN, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER. THE UNDERTAKING IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE
TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS, THE PAYMENT OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND THE RESIGNATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 
  
 10.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting 

  

 123 

 
or other business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing
Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit Party or its Affiliates (including information that
may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, and the terms “Bank” and
“Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity. 
  
 10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also
constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative agent shall be
consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective
date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks, and subject to the approval of the Borrower if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, which approval the
Borrower will not unreasonably withhold or delay, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent
shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and Issuing Bank and the respective terms “Administrative Agent” and “Issuing Bank” shall mean such successor administrative agent and
Letter of Credit issuer, the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring Issuing Bank’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any
other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Issuing Bank or any other Bank, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Bank to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time
of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under
this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 

 
 10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any
Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due 

  

 124 

 
and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the
Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of
Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.08, 2.09 and
11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to
make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04. 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding. 
  
 10.11
Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
  
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted
hereunder (including by waiver or consent) or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Banks; 
  
 (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or
held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.02(h) (including by waiver or consent); and 
  
 (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (including by waiver or consent).

PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY (INCLUDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF, PREPARATION FOR, OR DEFENSE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED CLAIM, 

  

 130 

 
INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS A PARTY THERETO (ALL OF THE FOREGOING, COLLECTIVELY, THE
“INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”) IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNIFIED
PERSON, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS 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 INDEMNIFIED PERSON. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED
THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR ARISING OUT OF ITS ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE). ALL AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THIS SECTION 11.05 SHALL BE PAYABLE WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS AFTER DEMAND THEREFOR. THE
AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE RESIGNATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY BANK, THE TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS AND THE REPAYMENT, SATISFACTION OR DISCHARGE OF ALL THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS. 
  
 11.06 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent and each Bank. 
  
 11.07
Assignments, Participations, etc. 
  
 (a)
Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment, Incremental Revolving Commitment (if any) and the Loans
(including for purposes of this subsection (a), participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, after giving effect to any such assignment, no Bank, Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank shall hold Mission Loans and Loans hereunder aggregating less than
$10,000, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date; (ii) each
such assignment of Loans hereunder must be consummated simultaneously with an assignment among the same parties of a corresponding percentage of the corresponding Class of Mission Loans and/or commitments (as 

  

 131 

 
applicable) under the Mission Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Mission Credit Agreement; (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iv) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent
and the Issuing Bank unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Bank (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that with respect to any assignment between a Bank and an Affiliate of such Bank or an Approved Fund of such
Bank, such processing and recordation fee shall be in the amount of $1,500. Only one such fee shall be payable with respect to the assignment of Loans hereunder and the simultaneous assignment among the same parties of a corresponding percentage of
the corresponding Class of Mission Loans and/or commitments (as applicable) under the Mission Credit Agreement. The Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent hereby grant the consent required by clause (iv) above with respect to any assignment that
any Bank may from time to time make to any Affiliate of a Bank or any Approved Fund or any assignment that any Bank may from time to make to any other Bank or any Affiliate of a Bank or any Approved Fund provided that the Issuing Bank
and the Administrative Agent are each given at least one (1) Business Day written notice prior to the effective date of such assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank 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 Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.03,
4.04, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank. Any
assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (c) of this Section. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be 

  

 132 

 
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (c) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Bank’s participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) owing to it);
provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (i), subsections (B),
(D) and (I) of the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
4.01, 4.03 and 4.04 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.04(f) as though it were a Bank. 
  
 (d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under any provision of this Agreement
than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant
which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for
the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.04(f) as though it were a Bank. 
  
 (e) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. 
  

 133 

 (f) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: 
  
 “Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Bank; (b)
an Affiliate of a Bank; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
(each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

  
 “Fund” means any Person
(other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business. 
  
 “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is
administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank. 
  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any
portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such
trustee actually becomes a Bank in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.07 regarding assignments in all respects, (i) no such pledge described in the immediately preceding clause shall release the pledging Bank from any of
its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Bank under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest
through foreclosure or otherwise. 
  
 11.08
Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent and each Bank agree to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information
identified as “confidential” by any Credit Party and provided to it by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on any Credit Party’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement; except to the extent such
information (a) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Person or any of its Affiliates, or (b) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Credit Party,
provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with any Credit Party, known to such Person; provided further, however, that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the
Syndication Agent and each Bank may disclose such information (i) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any such authority; (ii)
pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which such
Person or its Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or 

  

 134 

 
under any other Loan Document; and (vi) to such Person’s independent auditors, creditors, other professional advisors and employees of such
Person’s Bank Affiliates (or any Affiliate of such Person engaged in capital market transactions generally) retained by such Person in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower authorizes the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent and each Bank to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any direct or indirect counter-party in any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to which the disclosing Bank
is a party (each, a “Transferee”) and to any prospective Transferee, such financial and other information in such Person’s possession concerning the Credit Parties or their respective Subsidiaries which has been delivered to
Administrative Agent or the Banks pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Banks by the Credit Parties in connection with such Person’s credit evaluation of the Credit Parties prior to entering
into this Agreement; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, such Transferee agrees in writing to the Borrower to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Banks hereunder and (ii)
information identified as “confidential” shall not include, and the Borrower, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, each Bank and the respective Affiliates of each of the foregoing (and the respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and other representatives of each of the foregoing and their Affiliates) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, (a) any information with respect to the U.S. federal and state income tax
treatments of the transactions contemplated hereby and any facts that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment, which facts shall not include for this purpose the names of the parties of any other Person named herein, or information that
would permit identification of the parties or such other Person, or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to such tax treatment or facts, and (b) all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment or facts that are provided to any of the Persons referred to above. 
  
 11.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each Bank is
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank, now or
hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly
to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of each Bank under this Section 11.09 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have. 
  
 11.10 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, etc. Each Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of
any changes in the address to which notices to the Bank should be directed, of addresses of its Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 11.12 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability

 11.15 Effectiveness. 
  
 (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which (i) each Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent, and
each Bank shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile device) the same to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office and (ii) the conditions contained
in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 shall have been satisfied or deemed satisfied pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (or waived by the Majority Banks, or to the extent required by Section 11.01, all the Banks). Unless the Administrative
Agent has received actual notice from any Bank that the conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 have not been met to its satisfaction in accordance with Section 10.04(b), upon the satisfaction of the condition described
in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been met, then the Effective Date shall
have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the Effective Date shall not release any Parent Guarantor or the Borrower from any
liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02). 
  
 (b) On the Effective Date, each Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower an amount equal to the
amount by which the principal amount of Loans to be made by such Bank on the Effective Date exceeds the amount of the Loans of such Bank outstanding under the Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement on the Effective Date, plus any accrued but unpaid
interest with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.15(b), in satisfying the foregoing condition, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the occurrence of
the Effective Date that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Term C Loans and Revolving Loans required to be made by it on such date, then the Administrative Agent may, in reliance on such
assumption, make available to the Borrower the corresponding 

  

 137 

 
amounts and the making available by the Administrative Agent of such amounts shall satisfy the condition contained in this Section 11.15. 

 
 (c) This Agreement constitutes an amendment and
restatement of the Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement and as such supersedes the Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement in its entirety; provided, however, that in no event shall the Liens or Guaranty Agreements securing the Existing Nexstar
Credit Agreement or the obligations thereunder be deemed affected hereby, it being the intent and agreement of the Ultimate Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent parties hereto that the Guaranty Agreements and the Liens on
the Collateral granted to secure the obligations of the Ultimate Parent (and its predecessor NBG, LLC), the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent in connection with the Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement and/or the Guaranty Agreements,
shall not be extinguished and shall remain valid, binding and enforceable securing the obligations under the Existing Nexstar Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby. 
  
 11.16 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other
Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any
Credit Event, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
  
 11.17 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent
(for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notified the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act.

Loans) by both Class and Type, e.g., a “Eurodollar Incremental Term Loan”, indicates that such Loan is both an Incremental Term Loan and a Eurodollar Loan (or that such Borrowing is comprised of such Loans).

defined herein, as applicable, for all purposes under this Agreement, including for purposes of the sharing of Collateral and guarantees under the Guaranty Agreements all on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations;

  
 (C) have such pricing as may be agreed by
the Borrower and the Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c) and Section 2.16; and 
  
 (D) except as specifically provided in this subsection (D) and subsection (C) above or in Section
2.08, otherwise have all of the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Incremental Revolving Loans) or as the Term C Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Term C
Loans); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans shall be the Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  
 In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all
references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Loans and to Term C Loans shall be deemed, as the context requires, to include references to Incremental 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 34 

 
Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement. No Bank shall have any obligation to make an Incremental Loan
unless and until it commits to do so. Subject to the proviso at the end of Section 2.16(a), Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to (x) an amendment (each, an “Incremental
Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, each Bank or other approved financial institution agreeing to provide such Commitment (and no other Bank shall be required to execute such amendment), and the Administrative
Agent, and (y) any amendments to the other Loan Documents (executed by the relevant Credit Party and the Administrative Agent only) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the

financial projections of the Mission Entities, the Nexstar Borrower and its Subsidiaries attached to such certificate which have been prepared on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to any Borrowing made hereunder on such date and the consummation of
any related transaction and (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or be caused by the incurrence of the Incremental Facility. 
  
 (ii) So long as (x) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent no less than five Business
Days’ prior notice of the effectiveness thereof and (y) any financial institution not theretofore a Bank which is providing an Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or an Incremental Term Commitment shall have become a Bank under this Agreement
pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment, the Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or Incremental Term Commitment being requested by the Borrower shall become effective under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment.
Upon such effectiveness, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed amended to reflect such Commitments. In the event that an Incremental Facility shall have become effective, the Bank or Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments or
Incremental Term Commitments shall be deemed to have agreed, severally and not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (A) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, to make an Incremental Term Loan in the amount
of the Incremental Term Commitment of such Bank on the effective date of the applicable Increment Loan Amendment and (B) with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, to make from time to time during the period from the date of the

Borrower, the interest and payments thereon and any other amounts owing in respect of this Agreement. Any failure to make a notation in any such loan account or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. 
  
 (b) Notes. If requested by any Bank, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Bank (and deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) one or more promissory notes evidencing the Loans owing to such

 (a) Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowings. Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments and/or under any Incremental Revolving Commitments comprising an Incremental Facility then in effect, in each case on any Business Day during the

Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount)
and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, each Tranche shall be $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing under this Section 2.03(a), the Administrative

 (b) Procedure for Term C Loan Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (i) under
the Term C Commitments on the Effective Date, and (ii) under any Incremental Facility consisting of Incremental Term Commitments on the effective date of the relevant Incremental Loan Amendment therefor; provided in each case that the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing, which Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing
Date, if all or any part of the Borrowings are to be initially Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date otherwise, requesting that the Banks participating in such Borrowing make the Term C Loans on the
Effective Date or the effective date of the relevant Incremental Loan Amendment, as applicable, and specifying (A) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing, (B) the Class of Loans comprising such Borrowing, (C) the Type or Types of Term C Loans
comprising such Borrowing, and (D) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each Tranche (which shall be $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) and the respective lengths of the
initial Interest Periods therefor (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing under this Section 2.03(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Bank of such Borrowing. Each Term C Bank will make the amount of its pro rata share of each requested Borrowing made under the Term C Commitments and each relevant Incremental Term Bank will make its pro rata share of each requested
Borrowing made under the applicable Incremental Facility, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the requested
Borrowing Date, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Unless any applicable condition as set forth in Article V has not been satisfied, the proceeds of such Borrowing or Borrowings will then be made available to the
Borrower by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 
  
 (c) No Eurodollar Loans made during an Event of Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to

integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof); provided, however that if the aggregate amount of a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less
than $500,000, the Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor, and on and after such date the right of the Borrower to continue such Loans
as, and convert such Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall terminate. 
  
 (b) Notice of Conversion/Continuation. The Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 12.02 to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 11:00
A.M. Dallas, Texas time not less than three Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date if any Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans and (ii) 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time not less than one Business

thereof, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given.

 (a) The Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate or permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, without premium or penalty, by an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, however that no such termination or
reduction shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayment of Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments which are made on the effective date of such termination or reduction (x) the then outstanding principal amount
of all Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments plus the amount of the then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect or (y) the aggregate amount of all Letter of
Credit Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; and provided further that once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.05(a), the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased. Any
reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied pro rata to each Bank’s Revolving Commitment. All accrued commitment and letter of credit fees to the effective date of any reduction or
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Banks of any such reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitment. 
  
 (b) The Borrower may, upon not
less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Incremental Revolving Commitments under an Incremental Facility, without premium or penalty, by an aggregate minimum amount of
$1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, however that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayment of the Incremental Revolving Loans made under
such Incremental Facility which are made on the effective date of such termination or reduction, the then outstanding principal amount of the Incremental Revolving Loans made under such Incremental Facility would exceed the total amount of such
Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect with respect to such Incremental Facility; and provided further that once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.05(b), such Incremental Revolving Commitments may not be
increased. Any reduction of Incremental Revolving Commitments under an Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied pro rata to each applicable Incremental Revolving Bank’s Incremental Revolving Commitment under
such Incremental Facility. All accrued commitment fees to the effective date of any such reduction or termination of 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 39 

 
Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
affected Incremental Banks of any such reduction or termination of Incremental Revolving Commitments under an Incremental Facility. 
  
 (c) The Aggregate Term C Commitment shall automatically terminate effective as of the day after the Effective Date. The Incremental Term
Commitments under any Incremental Facility shall terminate effective as of the day after the effective date of the Incremental Loan Amendment relating thereto. 
  

2.06 Voluntary Prepayments. 
  
 (a) The Borrower may, prior to 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and prior to 9:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time, upon two Business Days’ written notice on any Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans, prepay Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans, as the

 (b) Any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether
the prepayment is to be made with respect to Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans and the Type of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each affected Bank thereof and of such Bank’s pro rata portion of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower and not withdrawn, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest to
each such date on the amount prepaid and the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall
instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (c) Any prepayment of Term C Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of Term C Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.08(a) pro rata (based on the
then remaining amounts of such remaining installments). 
  
 2.07

 (a) (i) If on
any date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments, plus the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations (to the extent not Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) below or as

2.07(a)(i) shall be applied pro rata among the Banks with Revolving Commitments. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 40

the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize on such date an amount equal to the excess of the Letter of Credit Obligations over the Letter of Credit Commitment. 
  
 (iii) If on any date the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans made under an Incremental Facility exceeds the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments relating to such Incremental Facility, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such
excess. Any payments on Incremental Revolving Loans made under an Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.07(a)(iii) shall be applied pro rata among the applicable Incremental Banks having Incremental Revolving Commitments with
respect to such Incremental Facility. 
  
 (b) (i)
If on any date any Mission Entity shall make any Disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition shall be applied on such date to prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro
rata basis among such Loans, provided that this requirement for mandatory prepayment will be further reduced to the extent that the Borrower elects, as hereinafter provided, to attempt to cause some or all of such Net Cash Proceeds to
be reinvested in Reinvestment Assets. The Borrower may elect to attempt to cause some or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Disposition to be reinvested in Reinvestment Assets during the Reinvestment Period (a “Reinvestment
Election”) if (x) no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such Reinvestment Election and (y) if such Reinvestment Election is made by the delivery of a Reinvestment Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the date of
the consummation of such Disposition, with such Reinvestment Election being effective with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition equal to the Anticipated Reinvestment Amount specified in such Reinvestment Notice. 
  
 (ii) Nothing in this Section 2.07(b) shall be deemed
to permit any Disposition not otherwise permitted under this Agreement. 
  
 (iii) On the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to a Reinvestment Election, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, if any, for such Reinvestment Election shall be applied to prepay outstanding
principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans. 
  
 (c) Within 90 days after any Mission Entity receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such
Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the collection of the proceeds thereof) shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of
the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, this requirement for mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by any amounts (i) actually
applied on or before such 90th day or (ii) committed in writing on or before such 90th day to be applied to the replacement or 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 41 

 
restoration of the assets subject to such Recovery Events within 365 days after such Recovery Event and; provided further that with respect to
no more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate of the proceeds received from any Recovery Event, the proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied if no Default or Event of Default then exists. 
  
 (d) On the Business Day after the date of the receipt by any
Mission Entity of Net Issuance Proceeds from any sale or issuance of Capital Stock or cash capital contribution, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans, in an
amount equal to 100% of such Net Issuance Proceeds, provided so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such issuance, the amount of the prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.07(d) shall be
reduced to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Net Issuance Proceeds are used or to be used in connection with an Acquisition made in accordance with the terms of Section 8.04 (including by waiver or consent) which a Mission Entity
commits to in writing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (or similar agreement) prior to or not later than six months after the date of such issuance; provided further that at any time after the expiration of the six
month period, if (A) the definitive agreement executed in connection with any such Acquisition is terminated, expired or otherwise becomes ineffective prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, (B) the Borrower is no longer pursuing the
consummation of the Acquisition in good faith or (C) such Acquisition is not consummated within 18 months from the date the Mission Entity committed in writing to such Acquisition, then the amount of prepayments required to be made under this
Section 2.07(d) shall be increased by the amount of such Net Issuance Proceeds that were not used to consummate such Acquisition. 
  
 (e) If on any date any Mission Entity shall incur or issue any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in subsections (a)
– (d), and (f) – (h) of Section 8.05), then on each such date of incurrence or issuance an amount equal to the amount of the Net Debt Proceeds received with respect to such Indebtedness shall be applied to prepay outstanding
principal of the Term C Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans; provided so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such incurrence or issuance, the amount of the prepayments required
to be made under this Section 2.07(e) shall be reduced to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Net Debt Proceeds are used or to be used in connection with an Acquisition made in accordance with Section 8.04 (including by
waiver or consent) which a Mission Entity commits to in writing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (or similar agreement) prior to or not later than six months after the date of such incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness;
provided further that at any time after the expiration of the six month period, if (A) the definitive agreement executed in connection with any such Acquisition is terminated, expired or otherwise becomes ineffective
prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, (B) the Borrower is no longer pursuing the consummation of the Acquisition in good faith or (C) such Acquisition is not consummated within 18 months from the date the Mission Entity committed in writing
to such Acquisition, then the amount of prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.07(e) shall be increased by the amount of such Net Debt Proceeds that were not used to consummate such Acquisition. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 42 

 (f) The Borrower shall pay, together with each prepayment under this Section 2.07,
accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall
instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (g) Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.07 made on a day other than an Interest Payment Date for any Loan shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to Eurodollar Loans with
the shortest Interest Periods remaining. 
  
 (h)
Any prepayment of Term C Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of Term C Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.08(a), pro rata (based on the then remaining amounts of such
remaining installments). 
  
 (i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.07, any Term C Bank may elect, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the receipt thereof, not to receive its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment that
would otherwise be payable to such Term C Bank pursuant to this Section 2.07, whereupon such portion shall be reallocated to prepay the outstanding principal amount of all Term C Loans and Revolving Loans other than the Term C Loans held by
such Term C Bank and any other Term C Bank that has elected not to receive its pro rata portion of such mandatory prepayment, on a pro rata basis among such Loans. 
  
 2.08 Maturity and Amortization of Loans. 
  
 (a) The Term C Loans. (i) Subject to subsection (ii) below, the Term C Loans shall mature, and the
outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), on the Maturity Date. In addition, on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter (or, in the case of the final principal
installment to be repaid in Fiscal Year 2010, on the Stated Term C Maturity Date), commencing on March 31, 2004, the Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable, a quarterly principal installment on the Term C Loans in an amount
equal to one quarter of the following annual percentage reductions for each Fiscal Year set forth below of the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Term C Loan Balance on March 31, 2004 plus the initial amount of each Incremental Term Loan:

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 43 

 The aggregate principal amount of each installment paid during any Fiscal Year on the
Term C Loans shall in each case be an amount equal to the applicable annual percentage reduction set forth above with respect to such Fiscal Year, divided by the number of quarterly installments to be made during such Fiscal Year (with
the last installment in Fiscal Year 2010, to be made on the Stated Term C Maturity Date, deemed a quarterly installment for purposes of this Section 2.08(a)). 
  
 (ii) The applicable Incremental Loan Amendment may provide for scheduled repayments of any Incremental Term
Loans, subject to the requirements of the definition of Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) Application of Term C Loan Payments. Subject to Section 2.07(i), any payment made on Term C Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.08, Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 shall be applied pro rata to each Bank’s Term C Loans in accordance with such Bank’s Term C Facility Percentage (and, in the case of a Bank with both Incremental Term Loans
and Term C Loans that are not Incremental Term Loans, allocated ratably among such Bank’s Incremental Term Loans and Term C Loans that are not Incremental Term Loans). 
  
 (c) The Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan (including all Incremental Revolving Loans) shall
mature, and the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Maturity Date.

all fee and expenses and all other outstanding and unpaid Obligations shall be due and payable in full on December 31, 2010; except for Incremental Term Loans which shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date. 
  
 (e) Application of Revolving Loan Payments. Any
payment made on Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08, Section 2.06, or Sections 2.07(b), (c), (d), or (e) shall be applied pro rata to each Bank’s Revolving Loans in accordance with such
Bank’s Revolving Facility Percentage (and, in the case of a Bank with both Incremental Revolving Loans and Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving Loans, allocated ratably among such Bank’s Incremental Revolving Loans and
Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving Loans). 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 44 

 2.09 Fees. In addition to fees described in Section 3.08: 
  
 (a) Commitment Fees. 
  
 (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable account of each Bank with a Revolving Commitment, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall have been
terminated in full, an aggregate commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”) on the daily average amount of the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment equal to 0.500% per annum for any period that the Consolidated Total
Leverage Ratio as of the most recent Leverage Ratio Determination Date for such period is greater than or equal to 5.50 to 1.00 and 0.375% per annum for any period that the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the most recent Leverage Ratio
Determination Date for such period is less than 5.50 to 1.00. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall begin to accrue on and after the Effective Date and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated in full. 
  
 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank with an Incremental Revolving Commitment, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the earlier of
the Maturity Date and the date on which each Incremental Revolving Commitment of a Bank shall have been terminated in full, the Incremental Commitment Fee for each Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Bank on the daily average amount of each of
such Bank’s aggregate unutilized Incremental Revolving Commitments. Each Incremental Commitment Fee shall begin to accrue on and after the date when the related Incremental Revolving Commitment shall have become effective hereunder and shall
cease to accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date on which such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall have been terminated in full. 
  
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay such other fees as have been, or may be, agreed upon between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent from time to time. 
  
 (c)
Fees under Existing Mission Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all fees which, as of the Effective Date, remain outstanding under the Existing Mission Credit Agreement will be due and payable on the
first payment date scheduled for payment of such fees under this Agreement occurring after the Effective Date. 
  
 2.10 Computation of Fees and Interest. 
  
 (a) All computations of commitment fees, and of interest payable in respect of Base Rate Loans based upon the prime rate, shall be made on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 45 

 
and interest under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period
during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of each determination of the Eurodollar Rate;
provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Applicable Margin or the Incremental Margin
relating thereto shall become effective as of the opening of business on the relevant date of such change. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the effective date and the amount of each such change;
provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder. 
  
 (c) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks in
the absence of manifest error. 
  
 2.11 Interest.

  
 (a) Except as provided in Section
2.11(d) below, each Term C Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the Borrowing Date applicable thereto until it becomes due and payable at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, or
the Eurodollar Rate, as selected by the Borrower from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, plus the Applicable Margin or Incremental Margin, as the case may be, with respect to the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate
then in effect. 
  
 (b) Any change in the
Applicable Margin or the applicable Incremental Margin due to a change in the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be effective on the applicable Adjustment Date and shall apply to all Loans that are outstanding at any time during the period
commencing on such Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Adjustment Date. 
  
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any
prepayment of any portion of any Loan (excluding Base Rate Loans, which such interest shall be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date) for the portion of such Loans so prepaid. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall
be paid on demand. 
  
 (d) If any amount of
principal of or interest on any Loan, or any other regularly scheduled amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, is not paid in full when due and payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise), after
giving effect to any applicable grace periods, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before judgment) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans at the applicable rate per annum provided in this Section 2.11 plus 2%,
and on all other amounts (including interest) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 46 

 (e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the
respective Bank would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Bank, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Bank
interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. 
  
 2.12
Payments by the Borrower. 
  
 (a) All
payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest, drawings under Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or set-off and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to drawings under Letters of Credit and elsewhere herein, be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the relevant Banks at the Administrative
Agent’s Payment Office, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each relevant Bank its
share, if any, of such principal, interest, fees or other amounts, in like funds as received. Any payment which is received by the Administrative Agent later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) shall be deemed to have been received on the
immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such payment is deemed to have been received. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be, subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of the term of “Interest Period” herein.

  
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent as required hereunder on such date in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each relevant Bank on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each relevant Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount
distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as in effect for each such
day. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 47 

 2.13 Payments by the Banks to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Bank on the Effective Date or, with respect to each Borrowing after the Effective Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Borrower the amount of such Bank’s pro rata share of the applicable Commitments to which such Borrowing relates, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent as
required hereunder on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not
have made its full amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, such Bank shall immediately make such amount available
to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the date of such Borrowing to the date on which the Administrative Agent recovers such amount from such Bank. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.13(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available by the relevant Bank, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank’s
Loan on the Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such
failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since such Borrowing Date,
at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. 
  
 (b) The obligations of the Banks hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan committed to
by such Bank on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make Loans committed to by such other Bank on such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make Loans
committed to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date. 
  
 2.14 Sharing of Payments, etc. 
  
 (a) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of Obligations relating to Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans, as the case may be, owing to it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Revolving Facility Percentage and/or Term C Facility Percentage, as applicable, such Bank shall forthwith (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase from
the other relevant Banks such participations in such Obligations relating to Revolving Loans and/or Term C Loans, as applicable, made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each such
other Banks; provided, however, that 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 48 

 
if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other
relevant Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Bank’s commitment percentage (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such paying Bank’s required
repayment to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 2.14 and will in each case notify the relevant Banks following any such purchases. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a
participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 12.09) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
  
 2.15 Security Documents and Guaranty Agreements. 
  
 (a) All Obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in accordance with the Security Documents.

  
 (b) All Obligations under this Agreement and
all other Loan Documents shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the Nexstar Entities pursuant to the Nexstar Guaranty of Mission Obligations and by any Subsidiaries of the Borrower pursuant to one or more Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements. 

 
 2.16 Procedure for Incremental Loan Requests. 
  
 (a) When the Borrower wishes to request one or more Banks or
other financial institutions approved by the Administrative Agent (in each case, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to provide proposals for the providing of an Incremental Facility consisting of Incremental Revolving Loans or
Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, the Borrower may solicit requests from any such Banks or other financial institutions for the providing of (i) a commitment for an Incremental Revolving Loan (each, an “Incremental Revolving
Commitment”) or an Incremental Term Loan (each, an “Incremental Term Commitment”), as the case may be, and (ii) as applicable to such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments, (x) the upfront fee to
be charged by such Banks or other financial institutions in connection with the providing of such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments (any such upfront fee, each an “Incremental Upfront Fee”), (y) the
commitment fee to be charged by such Banks or other financial institutions with respect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments (any such commitment fee, each an “Incremental Commitment Fee”) and
(z) the margins to be added by such Banks or other financial institutions to the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate for Loans made under such Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Commitments (any such margin, an “Incremental
Margin”). Upon the selection by 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 49 

 
the Borrower of Banks or other financial institutions, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Banks or other financial
institutions selected and the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Incremental Term Commitments, the Incremental Upfront Fee, Incremental Commitment Fee and the Incremental Margin as agreed upon by the Borrower and such Banks or
other financial institutions; provided, that if such Incremental Margin for Incremental Revolving Loans is greater than the margin set forth for Revolving Loans in the definition of “Applicable Margin” contained in Section
1.01, or if such Incremental Commitment Fees are greater than the Revolving Commitment Fee set forth in Section 2.09(a), the Incremental Loan Amendment pursuant to which such proposed Incremental Commitments are to be made available shall
not become effective unless the prior written consent of the Majority Banks has been obtained, and provided, further, that if, pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment, any net yield for the related Incremental Term
Loans is in excess of 25 basis points above the comparable margin set forth for Term C Loans in the definition of “Applicable Margin” contained in Section 1.01, the Applicable Margin for outstanding Term C Loans shall automatically
be increased to any extent required so that the margin applicable thereto is 25 basis points less than the margin for such Incremental Term Loans without any action or consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Bank. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, it is understood and agreed that (i) there shall be no more than (x) five different Incremental Margins in effect in respect of all Incremental Loans and (y) five different Interest Periods in effect in respect of all Loans (including
Incremental Loans) which are Eurodollar Loans; and (ii) if no Incremental Margin is agreed upon, with respect to any given Incremental Facility, then the Incremental Margin shall be deemed to be (x) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans (other
than Incremental Revolving Loans) as in effect from time to time if the commitment is an Incremental Revolving Commitment or (y) the Applicable Margin for Term C Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans) as in effect from time to time if the
commitment is an Incremental Term Commitment. 
  
 (c) From time to time, the Borrower and the Banks shall furnish such information to the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may request relating to the providing of an Incremental Loan, including the amounts, interest rates,
and dates of Borrowings thereof, for purposes of the allocation of amounts received from the Borrower for payment on all amounts owing hereunder.

 LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  
 3.01 Letter of Credit Subfacility. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Issuing Bank agrees in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Article III, (A) from time to time, on any Business Day during

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 50 

 
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and
3.02(d), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Banks with Revolving Commitments severally agree to participate in such Letters of Credit; provided however that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any
Letter of Credit if as of the date of, and after giving effect to, the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (x) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made under the
Revolving Commitments shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or (y) the Letter of Credit Obligations shall exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment. 
  
 (b) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
  
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank
with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
  
 (ii) the Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower on or prior to the Business Day
prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Article V is not then satisfied; 
  
 (iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit (x) is more than one year after the date of
issuance, unless the Majority Banks and the Issuing Bank have approved such expiry date in writing or (y) is later than the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans; 
  

(iv) any requested Letter of Credit is not in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Bank, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit
shall violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank; 
  
 (v) any standby Letter of Credit is for the purpose of supporting the issuance of any letter of credit by any other Person; or 
  

(vi) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $20,000 or to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 51 

 3.02 Procedures for Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon (x) the
irrevocable written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least four Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its
sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance and (y) approval by the Administrative Agent of such request. Each request by the Borrower for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original writing,
in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed date of issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of
Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. 
  
 (b) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, the Issuing Bank will,
upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least five days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole
discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, upon approval by the Administrative Agent of such request amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed
promptly in an original writing, made in the form of a Letter of Credit Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A)
the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of
Credit. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt of any
Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing
Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s
usual and customary business practices. 
  
 (d)
The Issuing Bank and the Banks agree that, while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, at the option of the Borrower and upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank (with a
copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least five days (or such 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 52 

 
shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, the
Issuing Bank shall be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original writing, in the form of a
Letter of Credit Amendment Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be renewed; (ii) the proposed date of notification of renewal of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (iii) the revised expiry date of the Letter of Credit; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to renew any Letter of Credit if the Issuing Bank would have
no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement. If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof
receives notice from the Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal the Issuing Bank would be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section
3.02(d) upon the request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall not have received any Letter of Credit Amendment Application from the Borrower with respect to such renewal or other written direction by the Borrower with respect thereto, the
Issuing Bank shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to be renewed, and the Borrower and the Banks hereby authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have received a Letter of Credit Amendment
Application from the Borrower requesting such renewal. 
  
 (e) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any Letter of Credit Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit, the provisions of which shall control in any event). 
  
 (f) The Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Administrative
Agent, concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal
of a Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.03 Participations, Drawings and
Reimbursements. 
  
 (a) Immediately upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank with a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in
an amount equal to the product of (i) the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Bank multiplied by (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. 
  
 (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter
of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Borrower. The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on the same date that any amount is paid by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such
date, a “Disbursement Date”), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank, provided that if such drawing occurs after 11:00 A.M. (Dallas, Texas time) the Disbursement Date shall be 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 53 

 
deemed to be the Business Day following the date of such drawing. In the event the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the full amount of
any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 11:00 A.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Disbursement Date, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Borrower
shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Revolving Loans be made by the Banks with Revolving Commitments (and hereby irrevocably consents to such deemed request) pursuant to Section 2.01(b) to be
disbursed on the Disbursement Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03. Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided, however, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
  
 (c) Each Bank (including the Bank acting as Issuing Bank) which has a Revolving Commitment shall upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 3.03(b) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an
amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing, whereupon each participating Bank with Revolving Commitments shall (subject to Section 3.03(d)) each be deemed to
have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in that amount. If any Bank so notified shall fail to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing by no later than 1:00 P.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Disbursement Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank’s obligation to make such payment, from the Disbursement Date to the
date such Bank makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during the period commencing on the later of the Disbursement Date and the date such Bank receives notice of the Disbursement Date
prior to 1:00 P.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on such date and ending on the date three Business Days thereafter and (ii) thereafter at the Base Rate as in effect from time to time. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of a
Disbursement Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on a Disbursement Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations under this
Section 3.03. A certificate of the Issuing Bank to any Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing which is not
converted into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Revolving Loans to the Borrower in whole or in part because the Aggregate Available Revolving Commitment is less than such unreimbursed drawing or because of the Borrower’s failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.03, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the amount of such drawing, which Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on
demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 54 

 
Rate Loans plus, in the case of any Letter of Credit Borrowing outstanding after the Disbursement Date, 2% per annum, and each Bank’s payment to
the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.03(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing. 
  
 (e) The obligation of each Bank with a Revolving Commitment to make Revolving Loans or fund its participation in any Letter of Credit
Borrowing, as contemplated by this Section 3.03, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a
Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 3.04 Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank of funds from the Borrower (i) in
reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Bank has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank for such Bank’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant
to Section 3.03, or (ii) in payment of interest on amounts described in clause (i), the Administrative Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, the
amount of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, and the Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Bank that did not so pay the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (b) If the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.04(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith
return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date
such amounts are returned by such Bank to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 55 

 3.05 Role of the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (a) Each Bank and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the
Person executing or delivering any such document. 
  
 (b) The Issuing Bank, any Agent-Related Person and its correspondents, participants and assignees shall not be liable to any Bank for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Banks
or the Majority Banks; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Related Document. 
  
 (c) The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. The Issuing Bank, any Agent-Related Person and its correspondents, participants and assignees shall not be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (a) through (g) of Section 3.06; provided, however that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank
may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves was caused by the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or
gross negligence or the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and
(ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or
in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
  
 3.06 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any Letter of Credit
Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other Letter of Credit Related
Document under all circumstances, including the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Related Document; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Related Documents; (c) the existence of any 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 56 

 
claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Credit Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any
Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, any other Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Letter of Credit Related
Documents or any unrelated transaction; (d) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit; (e) any payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding; (f) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit; or (g) any other circumstance or
happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each
Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the Issuing Bank. The Borrower
shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 3.07 Cash Collateral Pledge. Upon (a) the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing
request on any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of Credit Borrowing hereunder, or (ii) if, as of the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly
undrawn, or (b) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or (c) the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 2.07(a)(ii) requiring the Borrower to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall immediately
Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Obligations (or in the case of clause (c) above, the excess amount required pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(ii)) and such cash will be held as security
for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Banks hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent, and during the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, upon the request of the Majority
Banks, apply such amounts so held to the payment of such outstanding Obligations; provided that on a date upon which no Default or Event of Default exists and no Letter of Credit Obligations remain outstanding, the Administrative
Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower, will duly release the cash held hereunder as security in any cash collateral account and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or
warranty) such cash as is then being released and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

 3.08 Letter of Credit Fees. 
  
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of each Bank with a Revolving
Commitment) a letter of credit fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans (as in effect from time to time during the period of calculation thereof), computed on the
average daily maximum amount available to be drawn on each Letter of Credit outstanding for the relevant period. Such Letter of Credit fee shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank a letter of
credit fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank equal to 0.25% per annum of the entire amount available to be drawn from time to time under each such issued Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit fronting fee shall be due
and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand the normal issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to
letters of credit as from time to time in effect.

Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (a) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most
recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single
currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.10 Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 
  
 ARTICLE IV. 
  
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 4.01 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 4.01(h), any and all payments
by a Credit Party to any Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such taxes (including income taxes or franchise taxes) as are imposed on or
measured by such Person’s net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Person is organized or has its principal office or 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 58 

 
maintains a Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 4.01(h), the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, each Agent
and Agent-Related Person for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under Section 4.01(d)) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent and any liability
(including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. 
  
 (d) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, then, subject to Section 4.01(h): 
  
 (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 4.01(d)) such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; 
  
 (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and

  
 (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative
Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (f) Each Bank which is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States agrees that: 
  
 (i) it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case of a Bank which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.07 after the Effective Date, the date upon which such Bank becomes a party hereto) deliver to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (“Form W-8BEN”), or two accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (“Form W-8ECI”), as appropriate, 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 59 

 
in each case indicating that such Bank is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement free from withholding of
United States Federal income tax; 
  
 (ii) if at
any time such Bank makes any changes, including a change of a Lending Office or its principal office, place of incorporation or fiscal residence, necessitating a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, promptly deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent in replacement for, or in addition to, the forms previously delivered by it hereunder, two accurate and complete signed originals of Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, in
each case indicating that such Bank is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement free from withholding of United States Federal income tax; 
  
 (iii) it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, before or promptly after the occurrence of
any event, including the passing of time but excluding any event mentioned in Section 4.01(f)(ii), requiring a change in or renewal of the most recent Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI previously delivered by such Bank, deliver to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI in replacement for the forms previously delivered by such Bank indicating that such Bank continues to be entitled to receive all payments
under this Agreement free from any withholding of any United States Federal income tax; 
  
 (iv) it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, promptly upon the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable request to that effect, deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) such other forms or similar documentation as may be required from time to time by any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation in order to
establish such Bank’s complete exemption from withholding on all payments under this Agreement; 
  
 (v) if such Bank claims or is entitled to claim exemption from withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing a Form W-8ECI
and such Bank sells or grants a participation of all or part of its rights under this Agreement, such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner under this Agreement. To the
extent of this percentage amount, the Administrative Agent shall treat such Bank’s Form W-8ECI as no longer in compliance with this Section 4.01(f). In the event a Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing Form
W-8BEN with the Administrative Agent sells or grants a participation in its rights under this Agreement, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the
Code; and 
  
 (vi) without limiting or
restricting any Bank’s right to increased amounts under Section 4.01(d) from the Borrower upon satisfaction of such Bank’s obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.01(f), if such Bank is 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 60 

 
entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) withhold from any interest to such
Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other administrative documentation required by Section 4.01(f)(i) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the
Administrative Agent shall withhold from any interest payment to a Bank not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax and in addition, the Administrative Agent shall also withhold against
periodic payments other than interest payments to the extent United States withholding tax is not eliminated by obtaining Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of its officers,
directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorney-in-fact, on an after tax basis, from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including Attorney
Costs) of any kind whatsoever incurred as a result of or in connection with the Administrative Agent’s failure to withhold as provided pursuant to the preceding sentence, unless such failure constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent itself as the same is determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and the obligations in this sentence shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 
  
 (g) The Borrower will not be required to pay any additional
amounts in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States Federal government pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) or 4.01(d) to any Bank: 
  
 (i) if and to the extent the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Bank to comply with
its obligations under Section 4.01(f) in respect of its Lending Office; 
  
 (ii) if such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form W-8BEN in respect of its Lending Office pursuant to Section
4.01(f)(i)-(iii) or such other forms or similar documentation pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iv), to the extent such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from all withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of
payments by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in United States law or regulations or in the official interpretation of such law or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8BEN or such other forms or similar documentation; or 
  
 (iii) if such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form W-8ECI in respect of its Lending Office
pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(i)-(iii) or such other forms or similar documentation pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iv), to the extent such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from all deductions or withholding of United
States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 61 

 
than a change in United States law or regulations or any applicable tax treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty or
regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8ECI or such other forms or similar documentation. 
  
 (h) Each Bank agrees that it shall, at any time upon
reasonable advance request in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, promptly deliver such certification or other documentation as may be required under the law or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction and which such Bank is
entitled to submit to avoid or reduce withholding taxes on amounts to be paid by the Borrower and received by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  
 (i) The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank, each Agent and each Agent-Related Person, to the extent required
by this Section 4.01, within 30 days after receipt of written request from such Bank or the Administrative Agent thereof accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Taxes or Other Taxes that are the subject of the
basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. 
  
 (j) If a Bank or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund of any withholding Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower under this Section 4.01 from the taxing authority
imposing such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund and upon receipt thereof, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the
amount so received. 
  
 (k) If the Borrower is
required to pay additional amounts to any Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.01(d), then such Bank shall, upon the Borrower’s request, use its reasonable best efforts (consistent with policy considerations of such
Bank) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to reduce or eliminate any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change in the reasonable judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

  
 (l) Each Bank agrees that it will (i) take
all reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Borrower (consistent with policy considerations by such Bank) to maintain all exemptions, if any, available to it from withholding taxes (whether available by treaty or existing administrative
waiver), and (ii) to the extent reasonable, otherwise cooperate with the Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 4.01, in any case described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), however, only if such
action or cooperation is not disadvantageous to such Bank in the reasonable judgment of such Bank. 
  
 4.02 Illegality. 
  
 (a) If any Bank shall determine that (i) the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or (ii) any central bank or other Governmental Authority 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 62 

 
has asserted that it is unlawful for any Bank or its Lending Office, to make a Eurodollar Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, then,
on notice thereof by such Bank to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Bank to make or convert any such Loans shall be suspended, and any such Loan to be made or continued by such Bank shall instead be made or
continued as a Base Rate Loan, until such Bank shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 
  
 (b) If a Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar Loan, all Eurodollar Loans of
such Bank then outstanding shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may
not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans, and the Borrower shall pay any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 4.04. 
  
 (c) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02, the affected
Bank shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be illegal, inconsistent with the
policies of such Bank or otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
  
 4.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
  
 (a) If any Bank or the Issuing Bank shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation (other than any law or regulation
relating to taxes, including those relating to Taxes or Other Taxes) after the Effective Date or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) made
after the Effective Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or participating in any Letter of Credit Obligations, or any increase in the cost to the
Issuing Bank of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to
time, upon demand therefor by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts as are
sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank for such increased costs. 
  
 (b) If any Bank or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective
Date, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation after the Effective Date, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof after the Effective Date, or (iv) compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Issuing 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 63 

 
Bank, as the case may be, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation adopted after the Effective Date, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Bank or the Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Issuing Bank and (taking into consideration such Bank’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy and such Bank’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is (or is required to be) increased as a consequence of its Commitments, Loans,
participations in Letters of Credit, or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Bank or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be liable for and shall immediately pay to such Bank or the
Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank for such increase. 
  
 4.04 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Bank and hold each Bank harmless from any loss, cost or
expense (other than loss of margin) which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); (b) any
failure by the Borrower to borrow a Eurodollar Loan or continue a Eurodollar Loan when such Eurodollar Loan is due and payable or convert a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing, or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation as the case may be; (c) any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.06; or (d) any payment or prepayment (including
pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.07 or after acceleration thereof) of any Eurodollar Loan for any reason whatsoever on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; including in each case any such loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain any Eurodollar Loan hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
  
 4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, if, in relation to any proposed Eurodollar Loan, (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the interbank markets adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Banks that the Eurodollar
Rate determined or to be determined for any Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such affected Interest Period,
then, the obligation of the Banks to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Banks, as applicable, revokes
such notice in writing. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.05, any Bank has made available to the Borrower its pro rata share of any such proposed Eurodollar Loan, then the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount so made
available to it by such Bank, together with accrued interest thereon, if any, or shall convert such proposed Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 4.06 Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Bank, if and as long as such Bank shall be required under regulations of the
Federal Reserve Board to maintain 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 64 

 
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of
such additional interest from the Bank. If a Bank fails to give such notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable 15 days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice. 
  
 4.07 Certificates of Banks. Any Bank (including the Issuing Bank)
claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article IV shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Person hereunder and such
certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. 
  
 4.08 Change of Lending Office, Replacement Bank. 
  
 (a) Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.02 or 4.03 with respect
to such Bank, it will if so requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such section; provided however that such designation would not, in the sole judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Nothing in this
Section 4.08(a) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in Section 4.02 or 4.03. 
  

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) upon the occurrence of any event that
obligates the Borrower to pay any amount under Section 4.01 or giving rise to the operation of Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 with respect to any Bank or (ii) as provided in Section 12.01(b) in the case of certain refusals
by a Bank to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Majority Banks, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists or
will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Bank (the “Replaced Bank”) by designating another Bank or an Eligible Assignee (such Bank or Eligible Assignee being herein called a
“Replacement Bank”) to which such Replaced Bank shall assign, in accordance with Section 12.07 and without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Replaced Bank, the rights and obligations of such Replaced Bank
hereunder (except for such rights as survive repayment of the Loans), and, upon such assignment, such Replaced Bank shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder and such Replacement Bank shall succeed to the rights and obligations
of such Replaced Bank hereunder. The Borrower shall pay to such Replaced Bank in same day funds on the date of replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing such Replaced Bank by the Borrower hereunder to and including the

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 65 

 
date of replacement, including, without limitation, costs incurred under Sections 4.01, 4.02 and/or 4.03. 
  
 4.09 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower set
forth in this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly

definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Syndication Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with

generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Syndication Agent (if applicable) is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 99 

 
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent

herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 (a) The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request

5.01 and 5.02, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable
or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. 
  
 10.05 Notice of Default. The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks. 
  
 10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agents. Each
Bank acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any
Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their
possession. Each Bank represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
  
 10.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. WHETHER OR NOT THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED, THE BANKS SHALL INDEMNIFY UPON DEMAND EACH AGENT-RELATED PERSON (TO THE 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 101 

 
EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY CREDIT PARTY AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF ANY CREDIT PARTY TO DO SO), PRO RATA, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH
AGENT-RELATED PERSON FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY IT (WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT-RELATED PERSON); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE
PAYMENT TO ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES TO THE EXTENT DETERMINED IN A FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH AGENT-RELATED PERSON’S OWN GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO ACTION TAKEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTIONS OF THE MAJORITY BANKS SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION.
WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH BANK SHALL REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE OF ANY COSTS OR OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY COSTS) INCURRED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY OR REFERRED TO HEREIN, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER. THE UNDERTAKING IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE
COMMITMENTS, THE PAYMENT OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND THE RESIGNATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 
  
 10.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America
were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit
Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information
to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, and the
terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity. 
  
 10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks;
provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor
administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative agent shall be 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 102 

 
consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks, and subject to the approval of
the Borrower if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, which approval the Borrower will not unreasonably withhold or delay, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and Issuing Bank and the respective terms “Administrative
Agent” and “Issuing Bank” shall mean such successor administrative agent and Letter of Credit issuer, the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring
Issuing Bank’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Issuing Bank or any other Bank, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Bank to issue letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 12.04 and 12.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative
Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 
  
 10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any
Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of
Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.08, 2.09 and
12.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 103 

 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 12.04. 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding. 
  
 10.11
Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
  
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted
hereunder (including by waiver or consent) or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 12.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Banks; 
  
 (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or
held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.02(h) (including by waiver or consent); and 
  
 (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (including by waiver or consent). 
  
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of
property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.11. 
  
 10.12 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. Except as specifically set forth herein, none of the Banks or other Persons identified on the facing
page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “joint lead arranger” or
“co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Banks, those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks
or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 104 

 
or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE XI. 
  
 THE GUARANTY 
  
 11.01 Guaranty from the Guarantor Parties. 
  
 (a) In order to induce the Banks to make Loans to the
Borrower under this Agreement and to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, each Guarantor Party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment and performance in full by each Guaranteed Party when due and payable
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party. The obligations of each Guarantor Party hereunder are those of a primary obligor, and not merely a surety, and are independent of the
Obligations of the Guaranteed Party. A separate action or actions may be brought against a Guarantor Party whether or not an action is brought against its respective Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other obligor in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations or whether its respective Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is joined in any such action or actions. Each Guaranteed Party waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the benefit of any statute of limitation affecting its liability hereunder and agrees that its liability hereunder shall not be subject to any right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment (each of which rights is hereby waived to the
extent permitted by applicable law). 
  
 (b) Each
Guarantor Party guarantees that the obligations guaranteed by it hereby will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Banks with respect thereto. To the extent permitted by law, the liability of each Guarantor Party under this guaranty shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor Party hereby irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any and all of the following: 
  
 (i) any lack of genuineness, validity, legality or
enforceability against any respective Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, agreement or instrument relating hereto or any assignment or transfer of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any defense that any respective Guaranteed Party may have with respect to its liability hereunder or thereunder; 
  
 (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
waiver, indulgence, compromise, renewal, extension, amendment, modification of, or addition, consent, supplement to, or consent to departure from, or any other action or 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 105 

 
inaction under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, instrument or agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or any assignment or transfer of this Agreement; 
  
 (iii) any release or partial release of any other Guarantor or other obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (iv) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any release, or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any guaranty or security, for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (v) any furnishing of any additional security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (vi) the liquidation,
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor or other obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any action taken with respect to this guaranty or otherwise by any trustee or receiver, or by any
court, in any such proceeding; 
  
 (vii) any
modification or termination of any intercreditor or subordination agreement pursuant to which the claims of other creditors of any Guaranteed Party or any other Guarantor are subordinated to those of the Banks, such Issuing Banks or the
Administrative Agent; or 
  
 (viii) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Guaranteed Party or any Guarantor Party. 
  
 (c) This guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Guaranteed Party or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount or must otherwise be restored or returned by any of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. 
  
 (d) If an event permitting the acceleration of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and
such acceleration shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against any Guaranteed Party of a case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor Party agrees that, for purposes of this guaranty and its
obligations hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated and such Guarantor Party shall forthwith pay such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect
to such Guaranteed Party would accrue on such Obligations), and the other obligations hereunder, forthwith upon demand. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 106 

 (e) Each Guarantor Party hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, notice of
nonperformance, protest or dishonor, notice of acceptance and any and all other notices with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to
require that any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien in or any Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or pursue any remedy or take any action against any Guaranteed Party,
any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral or security or to any balance of any deposit accounts or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank in favor of such Guaranteed Party. 
  
 (f) Each Guarantor Party expressly agrees to postpone, until
the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the exercise of (i) any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and indemnity (contractual, statutory or otherwise), including any claim or
right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute, arising from the existence or performance of this guaranty, (ii) any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Banks now have or may
hereafter have against any Guaranteed Party, and (iii) to the extent permitted by law, any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank. 
  
 (g) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies,
the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Guaranteed Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to
“election of remedies” or the like, each Guarantor Party hereby consents to such action and waives any claim based upon such action (to the extent permitted by applicable law). Any election of remedies which results in the denial or
impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank to seek a deficiency judgment against any Guaranteed Party shall not impair any Guarantor Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

  
 (h) This guaranty is a continuing guaranty
and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty and the termination of the Commitments; (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor
Party, its successors and assigns; and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Banks and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), any Bank may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested
with all the benefits in respect hereof granted to such Bank pursuant to this guaranty or otherwise, all as provided in, and to the extent set forth in, this Agreement. 
  
 (i) Any obligations of any Guaranteed Party to its respective Guarantor Party, now or hereafter existing,
are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations. Such obligations of such Guaranteed Party to its respective Guarantor Party, if the Majority 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 107 

 
Banks so request, shall be enforced and amounts recovered shall be received by such Guarantor Party as trustee for the Banks and the proceeds thereof shall
be paid over to the Banks on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor Party under the provisions of this guaranty. 
  
 (j) Upon failure of the Guaranteed Party to pay any
Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the respective Guarantor Party hereby agrees immediately on demand by any of the Banks or the Administrative Agent to pay or
cause to be paid in accordance with the terms hereof an amount equal to the full unpaid amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then due and payable in Dollars. 
  

(k) All payments by a Guarantor Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of, any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If a Guarantor Party shall be required by law to make any such deduction or withholding, then such Guarantor Party shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order
that the net amount received by the applicable Bank, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after all deductions and withholdings, shall be equal to the full amount that such Person would have received, after all
deductions and withholdings, had its Guaranteed Party discharged its obligations (including its tax gross-up obligations) pursuant to Section 4.01. Any amounts deducted or withheld by a Guarantor Party for or on account of Taxes shall be paid
over to the government or taxing authority imposing such Taxes on a timely basis, and such Guarantor Party shall provide the applicable Bank, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as soon as practicable with such tax
receipts or other official documentation (and such other certificates, receipts and other documents as may reasonably be requested by such Person) with respect to the payment of such Taxes as may be available. 
  
 11.02 Guaranty Limited. The obligations of each Guarantor Party under
this Article XI and the joint and several obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.01(c) shall be limited to the extent necessary to prevent the guaranty provided under this Article XI and such joint and several obligations
of the Borrower under Section 2.01(c) or any payment pursuant to this Article XI or such joint and several obligations being voided as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any
applicable state law governing fraudulent transfers or fraudulent conveyances.

PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY (INCLUDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF, PREPARATION FOR, OR DEFENSE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED CLAIM,
INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS A PARTY THERETO (ALL OF THE FOREGOING, COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”) IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING,
IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS 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 INDEMNIFIED
PERSON. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, NOR
SHALL ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ARISING OUT OF ITS ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE
EFFECTIVE DATE). ALL AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THIS SECTION 12.05 SHALL BE PAYABLE WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS AFTER DEMAND THEREFOR. THE AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE RESIGNATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY BANK,
THE TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS AND THE REPAYMENT, SATISFACTION OR DISCHARGE OF ALL THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS. 
  
 12.06 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, except 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 113 

 
that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Bank. 
  
 12.07 Assignments, Participations,
etc. 
  
 (a) Any Bank may at any time assign
to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment, Incremental Revolving Commitment (if any) and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (a), participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the
Loans at the time owing to it, after giving effect to any such assignment no Bank, Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank shall hold Nexstar Loans and Loans hereunder aggregating less than $10,000, determined as of the date
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date; (ii) each such assignment of Loans hereunder
must be consummated simultaneously with an assignment among the same parties of a corresponding percentage of the corresponding Class of Nexstar Loans and/or commitments (as applicable) under the Nexstar Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms
of the Nexstar Credit Agreement; (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
(iv) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Bank (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible
Assignee); and (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that with respect to
any assignment between a Bank and an Affiliate of such Bank or an Approved Fund of such Bank, such processing and recordation fee shall be in the amount of $1,500. Only one such fee shall be payable with respect to the assignment of Loans hereunder
and the simultaneous assignment among the same parties of a corresponding percentage of the corresponding Class of Nexstar Loans and/or commitments (as applicable) under the Nexstar Credit Agreement. The Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
hereby grant the consent required by clause (iv) above with respect to any assignment that any Bank may from time to time make to any Affiliate of a Bank or any Approved Fund or any assignment that any Bank may from time to make to any other Bank or
any Affiliate of a Bank or any Approved Fund provided that the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent are each given at least one (1) Business Day written notice prior to the effective date of such assignment. Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank 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 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 114 

 
covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.03, 4.04, 12.04 and 12.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense)
shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit
Obligations owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (c) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including
such Bank’s participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in clause (i), subsections (B), (D) and (I) of the first proviso to Section 12.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.03 and 4.04 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.09 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.04(f) as though it were a Bank.

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 115 

 (d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under any
provision of this Agreement than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior
written consent. A Participant which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.04(f) as though it were a Bank. 
  
 (e) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. 
  
 (f) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: 
  
 “Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Bank; (b) an Affiliate of a Bank; (c) an Approved Fund; and
(d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
  
 “Fund” means any Person (other than a
natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business. 
  
 “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is
administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank. 
  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any
portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such
trustee actually becomes a Bank in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 12.07 regarding assignments in all respects, (i) no such pledge described in the immediately preceding clause shall release the pledging Bank from any of
its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Bank under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest
through foreclosure or otherwise. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 116 

 12.08 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the
Syndication Agent and each Bank agree to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as “confidential” by any Credit Party and provided to it by any Credit
Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on any Credit Party’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use
any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement; except to the extent such information (a) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
by such Person or any of its Affiliates, or (b) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Credit Party, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with any Credit
Party, known to such Person; provided further, however, that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent and each Bank may disclose such information (i) at the request or pursuant to any
requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any such authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the
provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which such Person or its Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the
exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and (vi) to such Person’s independent auditors, creditors, other professional advisors and employees of such Person’s Bank Affiliates (or any Affiliate of such Person
engaged in capital market transactions generally) retained by such Person in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication
Agent and each Bank to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any direct or indirect counter-party in any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to which the disclosing Bank is a party (each, a “Transferee”) and to any
prospective Transferee, such financial and other information in such Person’s possession concerning the Credit Parties or their respective Subsidiaries which has been delivered to Administrative Agent or the Banks pursuant to this Agreement or
which has been delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Banks by the Credit Parties in connection with such Person’s credit evaluation of the Credit Parties prior to entering into this Agreement; provided that, unless
otherwise agreed by the Borrower, such Transferee agrees in writing to the Borrower to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Banks hereunder and (ii) information identified as “confidential” shall not
include, and the Borrower, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, each Bank and the respective Affiliates of each of the foregoing (and the respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives of each
of the forgoing and their Affiliates) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, (a) any information with respect to the U.S. federal and state income tax treatments of the transactions contemplated hereby and any facts
that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment, which facts shall not include for this purpose the names of the parties of any other Person named herein, or information that would permit identification of the parties or such other Person,
or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to such tax treatment or facts, and (b) all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment or facts that are
provided to any of the Persons referred to above. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 117 

 12.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, if an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against
any and all Obligations owing to such Bank, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section 12.09 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have. 
  
 12.10 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, etc. Each Bank shall
notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Bank should be directed, of addresses of its Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such
other administrative information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
  
 12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all
of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 12.12 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

  
 12.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is
made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action
or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. None of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent the Issuing Bank or any Bank shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document. 
  
 12.14 Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Waiver
of Trial by Jury. 
  
 (a) GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE
SYNDICATION AGENT AND EACH BANK SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 118 

 (b) JURISDICTION. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION
LAW, ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR
OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW. 
  
 (c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL

COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, ANY THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

  
 12.15 Effectiveness. 
  
 (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the
“Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent, and each Bank shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have
delivered (including by way of facsimile device) the same to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office and (ii) the conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 shall have been satisfied or deemed satisfied pursuant to Section
10.04(b) (or waived by the Majority Banks, or to the extent required by Section 12.01, all the Banks). Unless the Administrative Agent has received actual notice from any Bank that the conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and
5.02 have not been met to its satisfaction in accordance with Section 10.04(b), upon the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the 

  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 119 

 
Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been met, then
the Effective Date shall have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the Effective Date shall not release the Borrower from any
liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02). 
  
 (b) On the Effective Date, each Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower an amount equal to the
amount by which the principal amount of Loans to be made by such Bank on the Effective Date exceeds the amount of the Loans of such Bank outstanding under the Existing Mission Credit Agreement on the Effective Date, plus any accrued but unpaid
interest with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.15(b), in satisfying the foregoing condition, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the occurrence of
the Effective Date that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Term C Loans and Revolving Loans required to be made by it on such date, then the Administrative Agent may, in reliance on such
assumption, make available to the Borrower the corresponding amounts and the making available by the Administrative Agent of such amounts shall satisfy the condition contained in this Section 12.15. 
  
 (c) This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement
of the Existing Mission Credit Agreement and as such supersedes the Existing Mission Credit Agreement in its entirety; provided, however, that in no event shall the Liens or Guaranty Agreements securing the Existing Mission Credit
Agreement or the obligations thereunder be deemed affected hereby, it being the intent and agreement of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that the Guaranty Agreements and the Liens on the Collateral granted to secure the obligations of the Borrower
in connection with the Existing Mission Credit Agreement and/or the Guaranty Agreements, shall not be extinguished and shall remain valid, binding and enforceable securing the obligations under the Existing Mission Credit Agreement as amended and
restated hereby. 
  
 12.16 Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Event, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter
of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
  

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 120 

 12.17 Additional Borrowers. If, on any date on or after the Effective Date, the Borrower or the
owner(s) of 100% of the Capital Stock of the Borrower acquires any additional domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, upon the written request of the Borrower, such Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement, as if it were a Borrower from the
Effective Date, as of the date when the Administrative Agent shall have received such legal opinions, certificates and documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

  
 12.18 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Bank and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notified the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify
the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
