eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof
for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such

 ARTICLE 2 
 AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

 Section 2.01. Revolving Credit Commitments. 
 (a) Each Lender severally agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make revolving credit loans (each a
“Revolving Credit Loan” and collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, when added to
the sum of such Lender’s LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, which Revolving Credit Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. At no time shall the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment Usage exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base. 
 (b) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender
to make any Revolving Credit Loan shall not in itself relieve the other Lenders of their obligations to lend. 
 (c) Each
Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate
of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is in an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an

  

 47 

 
integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided, that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire Unused Revolving Credit Commitment or
that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(f). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request
any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
Maturity Date. 
 Section 2.02. Swing Line Commitment. (a). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing
Line Lender agrees that, during the Availability Period, it will make available to the Borrower in the form of swing line loans funded and repayable solely in Dollars (“Swing Line Loans”) a portion of the credit otherwise available
to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line
Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect or the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then
in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the Availability would be less than zero. During the Availability
Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans. 
 (b) At the time that each Swing Line Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$250,000 and not less than $500,000; provided, that a Swing Line Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 (c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender so to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees
to make, a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall initially be an ABR Loan), in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Agent in immediately

  

 48 

 
available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made immediately available by
the Agent to the Swing Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans. 
 (d) If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.02(c), one of the events described in Section 7.01(e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Loan
Party, or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.02(c), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit
Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.02(c) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line
Lender an amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which
were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans. The Loan Parties irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to charge their accounts with the Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount
of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans. 
 (e) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on
account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s
participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing
Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously
distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to
in Section 2.02(a) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.02(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or any Loan Party may have against the Swing Line Lender, an other Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default
or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article 4, (iii) a reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (iv) any

  

 49 

 
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party, (v) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or any other Revolving Credit
Lender, or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 Section 2.03. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to
the Agent and the Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. At no time shall a Letter of Credit be
issued if the LC Exposure (inclusive of the amount of such proposed Letter of Credit) would exceed $75,000,000 or the Total Revolving Credit Commitment Usage would exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the
Borrowing Base. 
 (b) [Intentionally Omitted] 
 (c) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit),
the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which
shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit (which shall be denominated in Dollars), the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension the LC Exposure shall not exceed $75,000,000. No Issuing Lender (other than the Agent or an Affiliate thereof) shall permit any
such issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement. 
  

 50 

 (d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the earlier of
(x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional
one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). 
 (e)
Participations. 
 (i) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender,
and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such
Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount
of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and
thereafter the Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each Lender’s obligation to pay such
amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article 4, (C) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing. 
 (ii) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to an Issuing Lender
pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the
Issuing Lender shall so notify the Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders and each such Lender shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand (and thereafter the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an

  

 51 

 
amount equal to the product of (A) such amount, times (B) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (C) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be
paid by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i) is not made available to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, by such Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Agent, on behalf of such Issuing
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of the Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender submitted to
any Lender with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (iii) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Agent any Lender’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with
Section 2.03(e)(i), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment
of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Agent for the account of such Lender (and thereafter, the Agent will promptly distribute to such Lender) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the
event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Lender shall return to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such
Issuing Lender to it. 
 (f) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is
made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided, that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.04(a)
that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting

  

 52 

 
ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof
and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same
manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the
Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this
Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither
the Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any
payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided, that the foregoing shall not
be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct

  

 53 

 
of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with
respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility
for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided, that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.08 shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be
for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (j) Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing
Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any
such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.21. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to
refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party
hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

  

 54 

 (k) Replacement of Letters of Credit; Cash Collateralization. Upon or prior to the
occurrence of the Termination Date the Borrower shall (i) cause all Letters of Credit which expire after the Termination Date to be returned to the Issuing Lender undrawn and marked “cancelled” or (ii) if the Borrower is unable
to do so in whole or in part either (x) provide one or more “back-to-back” letters of credit to one or more Issuing Lenders in a form reasonably satisfactory to each such Issuing Lender that is a beneficiary of such
“back-to-back” letter of credit and the Agent, issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to each such Issuing Lender and the Agent, and/or (y) deposit cash in the Letter of Credit Account, the sum of (x) and (y) of the
foregoing sentence to be in an aggregate amount equal to 105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all LC Exposure (less the amount, if any, then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Account) as collateral security for the Borrower’s
reimbursement obligations in connection therewith, such cash to be remitted to the Borrower upon the expiration, cancellation or other termination or satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations and the Obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (“Cash Collateralization”). The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Letter of Credit Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent (in accordance with its usual and customary practices for investments of this type) and at the Borrower’s risk and reasonable expense, such deposits shall
not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Funds in the Letter of Credit Account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time. Funds in the Letter of Credit Account shall be returned to the Borrower at such time
as the LC Exposure is $0 and no Default shall exist. 
 (l) Issuing Lender Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the
Agent, each Issuing Lender shall report in writing to the Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances,
extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit,
the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed, or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Lender shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without
first obtaining written confirmation from the Agent that it

  

 55 

 
is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC
Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, the Borrower and the amount and currency of such LC
Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Agent shall reasonably request. 
 Section 2.04. Requests for Borrowings.  
 (a) Revolving Credit Loans. Unless otherwise agreed to by
the Agent in connection with making the initial Revolving Credit Loans, to request a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing;
provided, that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(f) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.
Each such telephonic request for a Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or, subject to Section 10.01(b), electronic transmission to the Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each
such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01(a): 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 
 (ii) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing
or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If no election as
to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.04(a), the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 (b) Swing Line Loans. To request a Borrowing of Swing Line Loans,
the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone not later than

  

 56 

 
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or, subject to
Section 10.01(b), electronic transmission to the Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02(a): 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; and 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day. 
 Section 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower
by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.03(f) shall be remitted by the Agent to the
Issuing Lender; provided further that ABR Loans made to finance Refunded Swing Line Loans as provided in Section 2.02(c) shall be remitted by the Agent to the Swing Line Lender. 
 (b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, a rate
determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 Section 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each
Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter,
the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowings to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing. 
  

 57 

 (b) To make an Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.04(a) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such
election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or, subject to Section 10.01(b), electronic transmission to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a
form approved by the Agent in its reasonable discretion and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01: 
 (i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as an Event of Default is

  

 58 

 
continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.07. Interest on Loans. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each ABR Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year of 360 days or, when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days in a leap year) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable ABR Margin. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin. 
 (c) Accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, on the Termination Date and
after the Termination Date on demand and (with respect to Eurodollar Loans) upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid). 
 Section 2.08. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or in the payment of any other amount becoming due hereunder
(including, without limitation, the reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.03(f) of any LC Disbursements), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent
permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or when the
Alternate Base Rate is applicable and is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days in a leap year) equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, at the rate then applicable to such Loan plus 2.0% and (y) in the
case of all other amounts, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2.0%. 
 Section 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest.
In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Borrower absent manifest error) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such determination to the
Borrower and the Lenders, and any request by the Borrower for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (including pursuant to a refinancing with Eurodollar Loans) pursuant to

  

 59 

 
Section 2.04 shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. After such notice shall have been given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each
request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. 
 Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to
pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date. 
 (b)
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;
provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.03) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if
such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 Section 2.11. Optional
Termination or Reduction of Commitment. Upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Unused Total Revolving
Credit Commitment. Each such reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in the principal amount of

  

 60 

 
$1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Unused Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account
of each Lender the Commitment Fee accrued and unpaid on the amount of the Unused Total Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender so terminated or reduced through the date thereof. Any reduction of the Unused Total Revolving Credit Commitment
pursuant to this Section shall be applied pro rata to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender. 
 Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayment. 
 (a) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Loans plus the LC Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base, the Borrower will within one Business Day (i) prepay the Loans (without any corresponding reduction in the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment) in an amount necessary to cause the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans plus the LC Exposure to be equal to or less than the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Borrowing Base, as the case may
be, and (ii) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of the Loans, the LC Exposure in excess of the amount of Cash Collateralization held in the Letter of Credit Account exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the
Borrowing Base, as the case may be, deposit into the Letter of Credit Account an amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the aggregate LC Exposure in excess of the amount of Cash Collateralization held in the Letter of Credit Account so exceeds
the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Borrowing Base, as the case may be. 
 (b) Unless each of the conditions specified in
Section 4.02 are then satisfied, no later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds with respect to (i) any disposition of assets included in the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 6.06(k) or 6.06(l) or
(ii) any Casualty Event, the Borrower shall deposit such Net Cash Proceeds into the Collection Account, which amounts shall be used to prepay outstanding Loans (without any corresponding reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment) as
described in Section 2.12(c). 
 (c) On each Business Day, all amounts contained in the Collection Account shall be applied
by the Agent to prepay outstanding Loans (without any corresponding reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment); provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion, use all
or any portion of such amounts to increase the amount of Cash Collateralization held in the Letter of Credit Account (until the amount of such Cash Collateralization equals 105% of the LC Exposure). 
  

 61 

 Section 2.13. Optional Prepayment of Loans.  
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, (x) with respect to
Eurodollar Loans, upon notice received by 1:00 p.m. New York City time three Business Days’ prior to the proposed date of prepayment and (y) with respect to ABR Loans on the same Business Day upon notice by 12:00 noon New York City time on
the proposed date of prepayment; provided, however, that (i) each such partial prepayment shall be in multiples of $500,000, and (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to payment of the amounts described in Section 2.16. 
 (b) Each
prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Credit Loans of the several Lenders. 
 (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made,
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay the Loans by the amount and on the date stated therein. The Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the
Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment. 
 Section 2.14. Increase in Commitments. (a) At any time, the Borrower may, if it so elects, increase the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (each such increase to be in an aggregate amount of not less than
$25,000,000), either by designating a financial institution or institutions (or other Person) not theretofore Lenders to become Lenders (such designation to be effective only if each such financial institution (or other Person) accepts a Commitment
of not less than $5,000,000) or by agreeing with an existing Lender or Lenders that such Lender’s or Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender or Lenders or other
financial institution or institutions (or other Person) of an instrument (a “Commitment Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, with such written consents of the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the
Agent as would be required in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment to such Person, such existing Lender or Lenders shall have additional Revolving Credit Commitments as therein set forth or such other financial institution or
institutions (or other Person) shall become Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments as therein set forth and with all the rights and obligations of Lenders with such Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder; provided that: 
 (i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a copy of the Commitment Acceptance (a copy of which the Agent shall
promptly deliver to each Lender); 
  

 62 

 (ii) before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations
and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Article 3 of this Agreement shall be true in all material respects; 
 (iii) at the time of such increase, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such increase; 
 (iv) after giving effect to such increase (assuming for such purpose that Revolving Credit Loans in the full amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment were outstanding), the Incurrence Test would be
met; 
 (v) after giving effect to such increase, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not exceed, by more
than $75,000,000, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the Closing Date minus any decreases in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment made pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.12; and 
 (vi) the Agent shall have received such evidence (including an opinion of counsel for the Loan Parties) as it may reasonably
request to confirm the due authorization of the transactions contemplated by this Section and the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Loan Parties resulting therefrom. 
 (b) On the date of any such increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented to the Agent and the Lenders that the conditions set
forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above have been satisfied. 
 (c) Upon any increase in the amount of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.14(a): 
 (i) the Borrower shall (A) at the end of
the current Interest Period, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans then outstanding and (B) within five Business Days, in the case of any ABR Loans outstanding, prepay or repay each such Loans then outstanding in its entirety and, to the extent
the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Section 4.02, the Borrower shall reborrow such Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such increase,
until such time as all such outstanding Loans are held by the Lenders in such proportion; provided that if at any time after such increase but prior to such prepayment or repayment (1) an Event of Default under Section 7.01(e) or
(f) shall have occurred and be continuing or (2) any other Event of Default shall have occurred and shall have continued unremedied for a period of at least five Business Days, the Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitments have not been
assumed or increased pursuant to Section 2.14(a) (each, a “Non-Increasing Lender”) shall sell to each Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment of has

  

 63 

 
been assumed or increased pursuant to Section 2.14(a) (each, an “Increased Commitment Lender”), and each Increased Commitment Lender shall purchase from each Non-Increasing
Lender, such participations in the Loans then outstanding in an amount such that, after giving effect to all such purchases and sales, all outstanding Loans are held by Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, after
giving effect to such assumptions and increases; 
 (ii) each existing Non-Increasing Lender shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Increased Commitment Lender and each Increased Commitment Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from each Non-Increasing Lender, a
participation (on the terms specified in Section 2.03(e)) in each Letter of Credit in an amount such that, after giving effect to all such purchases and sales, the LC Exposure is held by Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments after giving effect to such assumptions and increases; and 
 (iii) each existing
Non-Increasing Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Increased Commitment Lender and each Increased Commitment Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased
from each Non-Increasing Lender, a participation (on the terms specified in Section 2.02) in each Swing Line Loan in an amount such that, after giving effect to all such purchases and sales, all outstanding Swing Line Exposures are held by
Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such assumptions and increases. 
 Section 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify
or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing
Lender; or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay

  

 64 

 
to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate
of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the
Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment
of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in

  

 65 

 
any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 Section 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if any applicable Requirement of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent (as defined
below)) requires the deduction or withholding of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such payment made by the Borrower, the Agent or the Issuing Lender, or made or received by any
Lender or a beneficial owner of any Lender or partner, member, beneficiary or settlor of any Lender), then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the applicable
Lender (any such person a “Withholding Agent”) shall make such deduction or withholding and (iii) the Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Requirement of Law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within 30
days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender, or by the Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable
after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall

  

 66 

 
deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (e) Any Withholding Tax Payer shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Withholding Tax Payer becomes a lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Form W-8ECI, 
 (iii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Form W-9, 
 (iv) duly completed forms certifying that such Withholding Tax Payer is eligible for a reduced rate of United States federal
withholding tax under any tax treaty, or 
 (v) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law as a
basis for claiming exemption from the United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law. 
 In addition, each Withholding Tax Payer agrees that it will deliver upon the Borrower’s or the Agent’s request updated versions of the foregoing,
as applicable, whenever the previous certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other forms as may be required by applicable Requirement of Law in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such
Withholding Tax Payer to a continuing exemption from United States federal income tax. 
 Each Withholding Agent shall be entitled to rely on
the forms (if any) provided by a Withholding Tax Payer pursuant to this Section in making a determination of whether any tax is an “Excluded Tax” and whether to withhold for United States federal income tax purposes. 
 (f) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the

  

 67 

 
Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such
Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro
Rata Treatment. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to
the Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All
payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent
to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and expenses then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.20 and 10.05,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of fees and expenses then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of interest, Commitment Fee and Letter of Credit Fees then due on account of the Loans
and Letters of Credit, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, Commitment Fee and Letter of Credit Fees then due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of principal of the Loans
and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account
of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on

  

 68 

 
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender,
Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (d) If any Lender shall fail to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03(f), 2.05(b) or 10.05(c), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 10.03), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent (and if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender

 (c) The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and
all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 
 Section 8.04. Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Agent for such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any expenses and fees
incurred by it under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection
with the operations or enforcement thereof, not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates, on demand, in the amount of its
proportionate share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against it or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under any of the Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors (except
such as shall result from their respective gross negligence or willful misconduct). 
 Section 8.05. Successor
Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of
its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York,

  

 107 

 
New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. 
 Section 8.06. Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 8.07. Advances and Payments.  
 (a) On the date of each Loan, the Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by it in accordance with its Revolving
Credit Commitment hereunder. Should the Agent do so, each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate if not so reimbursed on the date due from and including such date but not including the date of reimbursement. 
 (b) Any amounts received by the Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.20, 8.04 and 10.05), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement
shall be applied, (i) first, towards payment of fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.20 and 10.05, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of fees and expenses then due to such parties,
(ii) second, towards payment of interest, Commitment Fee and Letter of Credit Fees then due on account of the Loans and Letters of Credit, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, Commitment
Fee and Letter of Credit Fees then due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of principal of the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Agent shall be credited to that

  

 108 

 
Lender, after collection by the Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that Lender’s correspondent account with the Agent, as such Lender and the Agent
shall from time to time agree. 
 Section 8.08. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the
exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or a Guarantor, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in
lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans or unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit as a result of which
the unpaid portion of its Loans or unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans or unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit of any other Lender (a) it shall promptly
purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Loans or unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each
Lender’s Loans and unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit and its participation in Loans and unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Loans then outstanding and unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit as the principal amount of its Loans and unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount
of all Loans outstanding and unreimbursed drafts drawn under Letters of Credit prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such
payment pro-rata, provided, that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Loan or unreimbursed drafts drawn under a Letter of Credit may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to
any and all moneys owing by such Loan Party to such Lender as fully as if such Lender was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 GUARANTY 
 Section 9.01. Guaranty. 
 (a) Each Loan Party unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment by each other Secured Obligor of the Secured Obligations. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Secured
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and it will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of the Secured Obligations. The Obligations of the
Loan Parties shall be joint and several. 
  

 109 

 (b) Each Loan Party waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to each
other Secured Obligor, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against any other Secured Obligor under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise,
acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver, foreclosure, invalidity or nonperfection of any security held by the Agent for the Secured Obligations
or any of them; (v) the failure of the Agent or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Secured Obligor; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Loan Party or any other Person under any Loan Document. 
 (c) Each Loan Party further agrees that this guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any
right to require that any resort be had by the Agent or a Lender to any security held for payment of the Secured Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Agent or a Lender in favor of any Secured Obligor,
or to any other Person. 
 (d) Each Loan Party hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain
informed of the financial condition of any Secured Obligor and any circumstances affecting the ability of each other Loan Party to perform under this Agreement. 
 (e) Each Loan Party’s guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Secured Obligations or any other instrument evidencing any Secured Obligations,
or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Secured Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty. Neither of the Agent, nor
any of the Lenders makes any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Loan Party in respect of the management and maintenance of the Secured Obligations. 

Section 9.02. No Impairment of Guaranty. The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by the

  

 110 

 
failure of the Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any
default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the
Loan Parties or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Loan Parties as a matter of law, unless and until the Secured Obligations are paid in full. 
 Section 9.03. Subrogation. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any sums to the Agent or a Lender hereunder, all rights of such Loan Party against the other Secured Obligors arising as a result
thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full of all the Secured Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to such Loan
Party for the account of any Secured Obligor, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Secured Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured.

representations and warranties by the Loan Party hereunder with respect to the Borrower. 
 Section 10.03. Successors
and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues
any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph
(d) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (i) to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, (ii) to any other assignee if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) during the primary syndication of the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments to Persons identified by the
Agent on or prior to the Closing Date in consultation with the Borrower; 
 (B) the Agent; 
 (C) the Issuing Lender; and 
 (D) the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to
the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving

  

 113 

 
Credit Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Agent otherwise consents; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be
construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 
 (D) the assignee, if it was not a Lender immediately prior to such
assignment, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 
 (E) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, no assignment to a Person that is not a Permitted Investor shall be permitted. 
 For the
purposes of this Section 10.03(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender
of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this

  

 114 

 
Section 10.03 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this
Section. 
 (iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its
offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (c) Upon its receipt of a duly completed
Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register;
provided, that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03(e) or (f), 2.05(b), 2.18(d) or 10.05(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept
such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (d) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the
Borrower, the Agent the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) each Participant must be a Permitted Investor, (B) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (C) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (D) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve

  

 115 

 
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.09(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to such Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 and 2.17 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to
this Section 10.03, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to a Loan Party furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of a Loan Party; provided, that prior to any such
disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.04 or provisions no less restrictive than those contained in Section 10.04. 
 (g) The Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent set forth in the Commitment Letter, to actively assist and cooperate with the Agent in
connection with the primary syndication of the Revolving Credit Commitments. 
 Section 10.04. Confidentiality. Each
of the Agent (which term for purposes of this Section 10.04 shall include the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent), the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders agrees to

  

 116 

 
keep any information delivered or made available by any Loan Party to it confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained by them who are or are expected to become engaged in
evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any of the foregoing parties from disclosing such information (i) to any of their employees, partners, officers, directors,
agents, legal counsel, independent auditors, advisors or Affiliates (or to any of such Affiliates’ employees, partners, officers, directors, agents, legal counsel, independent auditors or advisors) or to any other Lender, provided such
Person agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder, (ii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Borrower and its obligations hereunder, provided such Person agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder, (iii) to any rating agency when required by it, provided such Person agrees to keep
such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder, (iv) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (v) upon the request or demand of any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or authority, (vi) which has
been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a disclosure by any of the foregoing parties which is not permitted by this Agreement, (vii) in connection with any litigation to which the Arrangers, the Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender, any Lender, or their respective Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably required, (viii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder and
(ix) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder subject to the proviso in Section 10.03(f). The Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
notify the Borrower prior to making any disclosure under clauses (iv) and (vii) of this Section 10.04, unless prohibited by law, regulation or order of any court or administrative agency. In addition, the Arrangers, the Agent and each
Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Arrangers, the Agent and the Lenders in
connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.05.
Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) (i) The Borrower shall pay or reimburse: (x) all reasonable fees and reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Arrangers, the Agent and the Syndication Agent (including the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of Davis Polk & Wardwell (“DPW”), special counsel to the Arrangers, and any other counsel retained by DPW or the Arrangers) associated with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated); and (y) all reasonable fees and reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Agent and the Arrangers (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of DPW, special counsel to the Arrangers, and any other counsel
retained by DPW or the Arrangers) and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents. 
  

 117

reasonable expenses of the Agent and the Arrangers and their internal and third-party auditors, appraisers and consultants incurred in connection with the (i) initial and ongoing appraisals and collateral field examinations, (ii) monthly

 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor

liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent,
the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent , the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may

 118 

 
portion of the unpaid amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Lender or
the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert,
and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 10.06. Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 10.07. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any
of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. 
 Section 10.08. Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become
due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.

 Section 10.09. Amendments, Etc.  
 (a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent with the signed written consent of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall
(i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such
payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior

  

 119 

 
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Revolving Credit Commitment of or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees to any Lender
without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender), (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of
Section 2.18, the provisions of Section 10.03(a)(i), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or “Super-majority Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender,
(iv) release all or substantially all of the Liens granted to the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors without the prior written consent of each Lender or (v) increase the
advance rates or add new asset categories to the Borrowing Base without the prior written consent of the Super-majority Lenders; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent
, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall
entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each assignee under Section 10.03(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein,
and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest on the Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against any Loan Party unless (i) in the case of an amendment to this
Agreement other than to Article 9 hereof, such amendment is signed by the Borrower and (ii) in the case of an amendment to Article 9 of this Agreement, such amendment is signed by such Loan Party. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.09(a), in the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement
be modified or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Super-majority Lenders (as hereinafter defined), then with the consent of the Borrower and the
Super-majority Lenders, the Borrower and the Super-majority Lenders shall be permitted to amend the Agreement without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Borrower (such Lender or
Lenders, collectively the “Minority Lenders”) to provide for (w) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Minority Lenders, (x) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial
institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of one or more of the Super-majority Lenders, so that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such amendment shall be
in the same amount as the Total Revolving Credit Commitment immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (y) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial
institutions or Super-majority Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full the outstanding Loans of the Minority Lenders immediately before giving effect to such

  

 120 

 
amendment and (z) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate. As used herein, the term “Super-majority Lenders” shall mean, at any time, Lenders
holding Loans (excluding Swing Line Loans), LC Exposure, Swing Line Exposure and unused Revolving Credit Commitments representing at least 66-2/3% of the sum of all Loans (excluding Swing Line Loans), LC Exposure, Swing Line Exposure and unused
Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding. 
 (c) The Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders agree that
a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Article 9 hereof (and shall cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor) upon consummation of any transaction permitted under this Agreement that results in it
ceasing to be a direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower. The Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders also agree that the Liens granted to the Agent on any Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents shall be
automatically released (i) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the
preceding sentence, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral to any Person that is not (and is not required to be) a Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) and (iii) as is in the judgment of the Agent required to effect any sale or
other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or
desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. 
 Section 10.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.11.
Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. 
 Section 10.12. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive

  

 121 

 
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have
not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.05 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the
expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 10.13. Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.14. Prior Agreements. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter
hereof and the terms of any letters and other documentation entered into between any Loan Party and any Lender or the Agent prior to the execution of this Agreement which relate to Loans to be made hereunder shall be replaced by the terms of this
Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Commitment Letter and the fee letter referred to therein). 
 Section 10.15. Further Assurances. Whenever and so often as reasonably requested by the Agent, the Loan Parties will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further instruments,
documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary and reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in the Agent all rights, interests, powers, benefits, privileges and
advantages conferred or intended to be conferred by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  

 122 

 Section 10.16. Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of
the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 Section 10.17. Jurisdiction; Consent To Service Of Process.  
 (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action
or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or, except to the extent expressly provided therein, any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.17. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right
of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 Section 10.18. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. 
  

 123 

 Section 10.19. Intercreditor Agreement. Reference is made to the
Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereunder (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it
will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) authorizes and instructs the Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as Representative and on behalf of such Lender. The
foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Lenders and to the lenders under the Term Loan Documents to extend credit to the Borrower and to permit the incurrence of Indebtedness under this Agreement and the Term Loan Documents, and
such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions.
