The Credits 
 SECTION 2.01
Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each Revolving Lender (severally and not jointly) agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to
time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving
Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (b) each Term Lender with a Term Loan Commitment (severally and not jointly) agrees to make a single term loan (each such loan, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower
in Dollars on the Effective Date, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, by making immediately available funds available to the Administrative Agent’s designated account, not later than the time specified by the
Administrative Agent. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Term Lenders are extending their Term Loans on the Effective Date, and the Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness evidenced by the Term Loans on the Effective Date, in reliance upon and in accordance with the Existing
Senior Notes Indentures as in effect on the Effective Date, including calculations of 

  
 37 

 
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and Consolidated Assets (in each case, as defined in the applicable Existing Senior Notes Indentures) as of March 31, 2016. In addition, each Revolving Loan,
Letter of Credit and LC Disbursement extended, issued or due and payable hereunder, as applicable, only shall constitute a Secured Revolving Credit Extension to the extent it meets the requirements set forth in the definition thereof. 

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and
Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 

(b) Subject to Section 2.12, each Revolving Borrowing and Term Loan 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 Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions
of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); 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. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or that is required to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.04(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of
twelve (12) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by
telephone, facsimile transmission or electronic mail (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 or (b) in the case of
an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and, in the case of a telephonic Borrowing Request, shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or electronic mail to the Administrative 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 2.02: 
 (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 whether such Borrowing is a Revolving
Borrowing or a Term Loan Borrowing; 

  
 38 

 (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”; and 

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the
requirements of Section 2.05, or, in the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement.

 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, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit denominated in Dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, 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, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue,
any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any
Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the support of any
Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and
the payment of fees due under Section 2.10(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a
guarantor or surety of the obligations of such a Restricted Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of
Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least two (2) Business Days (or
such shorter period of time as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree in its sole discretion) prior to 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 

  
 39 

 
extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit,
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 applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit (other than an Existing Letter of Credit). A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended by an Issuing Bank 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, (i) the portion of the Total LC
Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank will not, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree in its sole discretion, exceed the LC Issuance Limit of such Issuing Bank, (ii) the Total LC Exposure will not exceed
$500,000,000, (iii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure will exceed its Revolving Commitment and (iv) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable
Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) unless a later date is otherwise agreed to in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, the date one year after the
date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (the “LC
Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (so long as no such renewal violates the foregoing clause (ii)). 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount
thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation
in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the
Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars the amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date such Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement not later than 5:00 p.m., 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 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives 

  
 40 

 
such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, at its election and subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment
shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the
Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve
the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s
obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) 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 any Issuing Bank 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 Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, 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 any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed
to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. 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 

  
 41 

 
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank 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. The obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents regarding Letters of Credit, including this Section 2.04, shall survive after the Maturity Date and termination of this Agreement for so long as any LC Exposure exists. 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone, facsimile transmission or electronic mail (and, in the case of telephonic notice,
promptly confirmed by facsimile or electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank 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 a rate per annum equal to (i) for any day prior to the date on which such payment by the Borrower is due in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (b) thereafter, the
rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans plus 2%. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving
Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(i) Termination, Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Bank. 

(i) Any Issuing Bank may be terminated at any time upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such termination of an Issuing Bank. After the termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder, such Issuing Bank shall
remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to
amend, renew or extend any such Letter of Credit or to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (ii) Any Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing
Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references
herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such successor in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a
party hereto and shall continue 

  
 42 

 
to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be
required to amend, renew or extend any such Letter of Credit or to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (iii) Subject to
the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, in
which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(i)(ii) above. 
 (j) Cash
Collateralization. If the Borrower is required to deposit cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.07(c), 2.09 or 7.02, it will establish on or prior to such date, and thereafter maintain so long as any Letter of Credit is
outstanding or any amount is payable to any Issuing Bank or the Lenders in respect of any Letter of Credit, a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “LC Collateral Account”)
at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Section 9.01, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving
Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest. To the extent not prohibited by the Senior Notes Indentures and to the extent that the Borrower would not be required pursuant to the terms of any of the Senior Notes Indentures to secure
the Senior Notes issued pursuant thereto equally and ratably with the Secured Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving
Lenders, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of JPMorgan having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements made by the Issuing Banks for which they have 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 Total LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the Total LC Exposure), be
applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09, such amount shall be returned to
the Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The
Administrative Agent agrees that when all Secured Obligations have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated, the Administrative Agent will deliver all remaining funds in the LC Collateral Account to the Borrower
(or such other Person as is entitled thereto under applicable Requirements of Law). If the Administrative Agent determines that any Person other than the Borrower is entitled to such remaining funds, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable
efforts to give the Borrower notice of such determination in advance of delivering such funds to any other Person, but the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for the failure to deliver such notice. 

(k) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent
and the Revolving Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be
evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form 

  
 43 

 
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the LC Issuance Limit of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such Issuing Bank Agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references
herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. 

(l) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have
been issued as a Letter of Credit under this Agreement by the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted to each of the Revolving Lenders, and each Revolving Lender
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have acquired from such Issuing Bank, a participation (on the terms specified in this Section 2.04) in each Existing Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Concurrently with such sale of participations, the participations granted pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement to the lenders party thereto shall be automatically cancelled without further action by
any of the parties hereto. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Existing Letters of Credit pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and that each payment by a Revolving Lender in respect of such participations shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (m) Issuing Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise
requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding at the
end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the
Letter 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 Bank
shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this
Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit, the date of such payment under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the
Borrower fails to reimburse any payment under any Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
 SECTION 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to
the Lenders; provided that Term Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except in respect of the provisions of this Agreement covering the reimbursement of Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

  
 44 

 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Revolving Loans, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower
the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any
payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2.06 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing 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 Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case
of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
telephone, facsimile transmission or electronic mail by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date
of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request
signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d). 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being
elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each
resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which
shall be a Business Day; 

  
 45 

 (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 Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If
any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable 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 and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so
long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments shall
terminate after giving effect to the initial Borrowing of Term Loans on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 

(b) Voluntary Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments. 

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that
(i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and (ii) except as set forth in Section 2.09(d)(ii)(A) and Section 2.09(d)(ii)(B), the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

 (ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments
under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered
by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

  
 46 

 
Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Commitments. 
 (c) Termination of Commitments and Required Prepayments Upon Change of
Control. On any date on which a Change of Control occurs, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and immediately reduced to zero, (ii) the Borrower shall prepay all Loans then outstanding, together with all
accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the LC Collateral Account, equal to the excess of
(A) the Total LC Exposure at such time over (B) the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations. 

SECTION 2.08 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises (i) to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Term Lender, the then unpaid
principal amount of each Term Loan on the Maturity 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 Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
Obligations. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note or a Term Loan Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and
interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a
registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.09 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject
to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.09(a)(ii). 

  
 47 

 (ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephonic notice
(promptly confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or electronic mail of such request) of any prepayment under this Section 2.09(a), (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York
City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as
provided in Section 2.02. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments Resulting from Excess Cash Amount. If, as of the
end of any Business Day, the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Designated Subsidiary Trapped Cash) exceeds $100,000,000 (such excess, the “Excess
Cash Amount”), the Borrower shall, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Excess Cash Amount and
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding. 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments Upon
Prepayment Equity Issuances. Within three Business Days after the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds from a Prepayment Equity Issuance: 

(i) the Borrower shall (to the extent not prohibited under the 2015 Term Loan Agreement) apply 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds
to prepay the 2015 Term Loans until the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2015 Term Loans equals $375,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”); and 

(ii) with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Equity Issuance in excess of the amount necessary to reduce the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2015 Term Loans to the Threshold Amount (excluding any such excess Net Cash Proceeds from the first such Prepayment Equity Issuance involving a registered public offering that occurs on or before
December 31, 2016), the Borrower shall (to the extent not prohibited under the 2015 Term Loan Agreement) apply the Ratable Share (as defined in the 2015 Term Loan Agreement) of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the 2015 Term Loans until the
earlier of (x) the date on which all of the 2015 Term Loans are paid in full and (y) the date on which the aggregate principal amount of 2015 Term Loans prepaid on or after the Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) and
Section 2.09(d)(i) equals or exceeds $750,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be required under the 2015 Term Loan Agreement to prepay the 2015 Term Loans as a result of any Prepayment Event or Prepayment Equity Issuance). 

The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of any Prepayment Equity Issuance at least one
(1) Business Day prior to the consummation of such Prepayment Equity Issuance and such notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the occurrence of the Prepayment Equity Issuance and the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. 

  
 48 

 (d) Mandatory Prepayments and Reductions of Aggregate Revolving Commitments
Upon Prepayment Events. Within three Business Days after the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds from a Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds as follows: 

(i) first, to the extent required under the 2015 Term Loan Agreement, to prepay the 2015 Term Loans until the earlier
of (x) the date on which all of the 2015 Term Loans are paid in full and (y) the date on which the aggregate principal amount of 2015 Term Loans prepaid on or after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.09(c) and this
Section 2.09(d)(i) equals or exceeds $750,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be required under the 2015 Term Loan Agreement to prepay the 2015 Term Loans as a result of Prepayment Events); provided that, until the aggregate
principal amount of 2015 Term Loans outstanding equals $375,000,000, the amount of any prepayment of 2015 Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(d)(i) shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the
aggregate amount of prepayments made by the Borrower prior to such date pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(i) (to the extent not already applied to reduce any other prepayment required under this Section 2.09(d)(i)); 

(ii) second, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds from any Prepayment Event in excess of the aggregate amount used to
prepay the 2015 Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(d)(i), the Borrower shall apply a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds equal to 50% of the amount of Net Cash Proceeds that would have been received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as applicable, in the event that 100% of the consideration for such Prepayment Event had been paid in cash (such amount, the “Secondary Proceeds Prepayment Amount”) as follows: 

(A) first, to prepay Revolving Loans (and permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in an equivalent
amount) until the Revolving Loans are paid in full; provided that, if after application of this clause (A), the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as a result of LC Exposures, the Borrower shall (to
the extent not prohibited by the Senior Notes Indentures and to the extent that the Borrower would not be required pursuant to the terms of any of the Senior Notes Indentures to secure the Senior Notes issued pursuant thereto equally and ratably
with such Obligations) immediately cash collateralize the Total LC Exposure in an amount equal to such excess by depositing such amount into the LC Collateral Account; and 

(B) second, if no Revolving Loans are then outstanding after application of Section 2.09(d)(ii)(A), the Borrower
shall permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in an amount equal to the remainder (if any) of the Secondary Proceeds Prepayment Amount after application of Section 2.09(d)(ii)(A); provided that, if after application of
this clause (B), the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as a result of LC Exposures, the Borrower shall (to the extent not prohibited by the Senior Notes Indentures and to the extent that the Borrower would
not be required pursuant to the terms of any of the Senior Notes Indentures to secure the Senior Notes issued pursuant thereto equally and ratably with such Obligations) immediately cash collateralize the Total LC Exposure in an amount equal to such
excess by depositing such amount into the LC Collateral Account; 
 provided that, in the case of any event described in clause
(b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a 

  
 49 

 
Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary intends to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such
certificate), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, in operating assets useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment or reduction of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) in respect of the Net Cash Proceeds specified in such certificate; provided further that, to the extent any such Net Cash Proceeds have not been so
applied by the end of such 180-day period, the Borrower shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds on the first Business Day following the end of such 180-day period as specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii). 

The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of any Prepayment Event at least one (1) Business
Day prior to the consummation of such Prepayment Event and such notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Lenders of the occurrence of the Prepayment Event and the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. 
 (e)
Mandatory Prepayments Resulting from Total Revolving Credit Exposure Exceeding Aggregate Revolving Commitments. If at any time the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately
(i) prepay the principal amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Loans ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the Total Revolving Credit Exposure to
be less than or equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Lenders’ Revolving Loans as a result of LC Exposures, cash collateralize LC Exposures in an amount equal to such excess
by depositing such amount into the LC Collateral Account. 
 (f) Application of Prepayments. Each prepayment of a
Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, and each prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans included in the prepaid Term Loan Borrowing. 

(g) Interest and Break Funding Payments to Accompany Prepayments. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.14. 
 SECTION 2.10
Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such
Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year and on the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on
the average daily 

  
 50 

 
amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, which shall accrue at a rate per annum as separately agreed upon by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the Total LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the
date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation,
transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be
payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on
the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account,
fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or
to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.11 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring
the consent of “each Lender directly affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder; provided that, during the existence of any Event
of Default described in Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h), the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be applicable to all Loans and other amounts outstanding hereunder without any election or action on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. 

  
 51 

 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand,
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date
of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by
reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 SECTION 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.13 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in
Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement
(including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) 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
any Issuing Bank; 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost
or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

  
 52 

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

 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’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 such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender
or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, setting forth in reasonable
detail the calculation of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of such amount or amounts. Any Lender’s determination of any such amount or amounts shall be made in good faith
(and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and substantially consistent with similarly situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(b), as applicable, after consideration of such
factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, 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 such Issuing Bank’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 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 53 

 SECTION 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal
of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice
may be revoked under Section 2.09 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant
to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period
from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount
of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks
in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 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 15 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.15
Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable
Requirements of Law. If any applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the
applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and, if such Tax
is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. 

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental
Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Indemnification by
the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant 

  
 54 

 
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the
Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with
respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 2.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 55 

 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

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

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

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by 

  
 56 

 
applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this
paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party
or any other Person. 
 (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and
the term “applicable Requirements of Law” includes FATCA. 
 SECTION 2.16 Payments Generally; Allocations of Proceeds; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.04(e), the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of
amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may,
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for 

  
 57 

 
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, except payments to be
made directly to any Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting (A) a specific payment of
principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower) or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.09) or (ii) after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied as follows: 

(i) first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative
Agent and each Issuing Bank from the Borrower; 
 (ii) second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to
the Lenders from the Borrower; 
 (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (to the extent
constituting Secured Obligations); 
 (iv) fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements
(to the extent constituting Secured Obligations) ratably; 
 (v) fifth, to pay any Secured Swap Obligations and any
Banking Services Obligations (in each case to the extent constituting Secured Obligations) ratably; 
 (vi) sixth, to
pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations (to the extent not prohibited by the Senior Notes Indentures
and to the extent that the Borrower would not be required pursuant to the terms of any of the Senior Notes Indentures to secure the Senior Notes issued pursuant thereto equally and ratably with such Obligations); and 

(vii) seventh, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the
Borrower. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or
unless a Default is in existence, none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such
Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.14. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. No proceeds of Collateral shall be applied to pay
any Secured 

  
 58 

 
Obligation in contravention of the restrictions set forth in the Senior Notes Indentures. To the extent the Administrative Agent receives payments not constituting proceeds of Collateral and not
covered by clauses (b)(i)(A) or (B), such proceeds shall be applied according to the foregoing priority of payments waterfall; provided, that such proceeds shall be applied to repay all Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements or cash
collateralize all Letter of Credit related amounts under the fourth and fifth items above, whether or not secured by the Collateral. 

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any Deposit Account of the Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder. 

(d) If any Lender of any Class shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements (if applicable) resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and
participations in LC Disbursements (if applicable) and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender of such Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements (if applicable) of other Lenders of such Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with
the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements (if applicable); provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion
of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply
to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, 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 or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to
such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (f) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(b), 2.16(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
(i) apply any amounts thereafter 

  
 59 

 
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such
Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future
funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

SECTION 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or
the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to 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 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any
Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or
(v) the Person serving as the Administrative Agent has received a written notice of removal in its capacity as Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders or the Borrower pursuant to Article VIII, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other
than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.15) and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned
or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. An assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected
pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto (it being understood and agreed that such Lender
shall not be deemed to make the representations and warranties in such Assignment and Assumption if such Lender has not executed such Assignment and Assumption). 

SECTION 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

  
 60 

 (a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure
of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02);
provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each
Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

 (i) all or any part of the LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall
have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.04(d) or (e)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated (effective as of the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation, such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be disregarded in determining the non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Applicable
Percentages), but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments, (B) after giving effect to any such reallocation, no non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (C) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at such time; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days following written notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding
to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting
Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable
Percentages after giving effect to such reallocation; and 
 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Revolving Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable
under Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks, ratably based on the portion of such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each such Issuing
Bank, until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above; and 

  
 61 

 (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or
cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action
with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one
or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such
Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposures of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted
to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such
Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a
Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.18 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may at
any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender. 
 ARTICLE III 

Representations and Warranties 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 

SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries are duly organized or validly formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdictions of their organization or formation and have all requisite authority to conduct their respective businesses in each jurisdiction in which the failure to have such authority,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries have full power and authority to carry on their business as now conducted. 

SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Execution; Enforceability. Each Loan Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and
deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder and (in the case of the Borrower) to obtain the Credit Extensions made hereunder and to consummate the Transactions, and all such actions have been duly
authorized by proper organizational proceedings on the part of the applicable Loan Party. Each Loan Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, and the Loan Documents to which
each Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding 

  
 62 

 
obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law, and obligations of good faith and fair dealing. 

SECTION 3.03 Financial Condition. (a) The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 (which were heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date such statements were prepared (subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the March 31, 2016 financial statements) and fairly present the financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries at such dates and the consolidated results of their
operations and their consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended. 
 (b) Since December 31, 2015, no material
adverse effect on the business, Property, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole has occurred. 

SECTION 3.04 ERISA. Each Plan is in compliance with, and has been administered in compliance with, all applicable provisions of ERISA,
the Code and any other applicable federal or state law, except where the failure to so comply would not (individually or in the aggregate) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no event or condition has occurred and is
continuing as to which the Borrower is under an obligation to furnish a report to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 5.01(e) and which would reasonably be expected (individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.05 Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

SECTION 3.06 Accuracy of Information. No written information, exhibit or report (other than projections and information of a general
economic or industry-specific nature) furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document, when taken as a
whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) all projections
furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document, when taken as a whole, have been or will be prepared
in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions at the time such projections were so furnished. 
 SECTION 3.07 Regulation U. Neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of the consolidated
assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale or pledge or any other restriction hereunder. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock in violation of Regulation U
or for any other purpose that entails a violation of Regulation U. 
 SECTION 3.08 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 63 

 SECTION 3.09 Liens. There are no Liens on any of the properties or assets of the Borrower
or any Restricted Subsidiary except Permitted Liens. All easements, rights of way, licenses and other real property rights required for operation of the businesses of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are owned free and clear of any Lien,
other than Permitted Liens.

against Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or assets which would reasonably expected to have (individually or collectively) a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.11 No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party, nor compliance with the provisions thereof nor the consummation of the Transactions will (a) breach or violate any applicable Requirement of Law, (b) conflict with or result in the breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions
or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of its property or assets pursuant to the terms of, (i) the 2015 Term Loan Agreement, the
Senior Notes, any Senior Notes Indenture, the Existing Credit Agreement or any other indenture, agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Material Indebtedness or (ii) any other indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is party or by which any property or asset of it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound or to which it is subject, except for breaches, violations and defaults under clauses (a) and (b)(ii)
that collectively for the Loan Parties would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (c) violate the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

SECTION 3.12 Governmental Approvals. No authorization, consent, approval, license or exemption of, or filing or registration with, any
Governmental Authority is necessary to have been made or obtained by any Loan Party for the valid execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or the consummation of the Transactions, except
(a) those that have been obtained and are in full force and effect, (b) filings, notifications and registrations necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents and (c) such matters relating to performance as would

necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses, and are in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which they or their respective properties are subject, except to the
extent that failure to have, maintain or comply with any of the foregoing, individually and in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Anti-Terrorism Laws applicable to it or its properties. 
 SECTION 3.16 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has

Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (b) to the Knowledge of the Borrower, any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Credit Extension, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate
Anti-Corruption Laws or any Sanctions. 
 SECTION 3.17 Security Interest in Collateral; Term Loans as Secured Obligations. 

(a) The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral described therein. When financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in the Security Agreement and, to the extent required under the Security Agreement,
upon the taking of possession or control by the Administrative Agent of the Collateral described in the Security Agreement with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control, such Liens shall constitute
perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the Borrower and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens, to the extent any
such Permitted Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable Requirement of Law and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the
extent the Administrative Agent is not required by the terms of the Security Agreement to, or does not, maintain possession of such Collateral. 

(b) Each Mortgage is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal
and valid Liens on all the real property described therein. When the Mortgages are filed in the applicable county recording offices, each Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of
the Borrower in that portion of the Collateral described in such Mortgage and constituting real property and fixtures affixed or attached to such real property, securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the Borrower and all third
parties, and having priority over all other Liens except Permitted Liens, to the extent any such Permitted Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable Requirement of Law. 

(c) As of the Effective Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans is permitted to be secured in its entirety
under the terms of the Existing Senior Notes Indentures. 
 SECTION 3.18 Pledged Equity Interests. Schedule 3.18 identifies as
of the Effective Date each direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as applicable, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares or other equity interests of each class of Equity
Interests issued by such Subsidiary and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares or other Equity Interests of
each such Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and, to the extent applicable, fully paid and not assessable and, as of the Effective Date, all such shares or other Equity Interests are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower free
and clear of all Liens other than Liens created under the Loan Documents and restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws and other Liens permitted hereunder that arise by operation of law. As of the Effective Date, there are no
outstanding commitments or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares or other equity interests of any class of Equity Interests of any Restricted
Subsidiary. 

  
 65 

 SECTION 3.19 Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured
with insurance companies of recognized financial responsibility, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where
the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary operates. 
 SECTION 3.20 Properties. 

(a) The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has good and defensible title to its material Oil and Gas Properties
and good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, licenses of, or rights to use, all its material personal Properties, in each case, except for those which the failure to have such title or leasehold interest, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns its Oil and Gas Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. After giving full effect
to any Permitted Liens, the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary specified as the owner owns the working interests and net revenue interests attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and
the ownership of such properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such property in an amount in
excess of the working interest of each property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s net revenue interest in
such property. 
 (b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, except to the extent that any such failure to be valid or subsisting would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, including all
easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted, except to the extent any failure to have any such rights
or Properties would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.21 Solvency. 

(a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, are Solvent. 
 (b) The Borrower does not intend to, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and
the Borrower does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing
of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 3.22
Priority Status. Neither the Borrower nor any other Restricted Subsidiary has taken any action which would cause the claims of unsecured creditors of the Borrower or of any other Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (other than
claims of such creditors to the extent that they are statutorily preferred or Permitted Liens), to have priority over any of the Obligations that are not secured by the Collateral. 

  
 66 

 SECTION 3.23 No Restrictive Agreements. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are
not subject to any Restrictive Agreements other than Restrictive Agreements permitted by Section 6.06. 
 SECTION 3.24 EEA Financial
Institutions. No Loan Party is an EEA Financial Institution.

SECTION 5.03 Conduct of Business; Existence. (a) The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain as

with such deductibles or self-insurance risk retentions, in each case as are in accordance with customary industry practice for companies engaged in similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole); provided, however, that in the event that any improved real property (other than any Excluded Property) owned by a Loan Party is subject to a Mortgage and is located in any area that has been designated by the
Federal Emergency Management Agent as a “Special Flood Hazard Area”, such Loan Party shall purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and maintained, flood insurance on such real property subject to a Mortgage and deliver flood
certifications and evidence of such flood insurance (and, if applicable, FEMA form acknowledgements of insurance), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The loss payable clauses or provisions in
(a) the applicable property loss policies insuring any of the Collateral shall be endorsed in favor of and made payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as a “lender loss payee” or

  
 75 

 
other formulation acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (b) each of the Borrower’s comprehensive and general liability policies and well control and gradual pollution policies (to
the extent in existence) shall name the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as “additional insured”. Such insurance described in clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence shall provide that no
cancellation thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof (or ten (10) days in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premiums). Upon the reasonable

insurance companies, the amounts of insurance, the dates of the expiration thereof and the properties and risks covered thereby. In the event the Borrower or any other Loan Party at any time shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the insurance
required herein, then the Administrative Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligations or resulting Default hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of
insurance and pay premiums and take any other action with respect thereto which the Administrative Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent shall constitute part of the Obligations, payable as provided in this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.05 Payment of Taxes and Other Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, promptly pay
and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, all Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Borrower or such Subsidiary, or upon or in respect of all or any part of the property and business of the Borrower or
such Subsidiary, and all due and payable claims for work, labor or materials which, if unpaid, might become a Lien upon any property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than claims against any such Subsidiary in a proceeding under any
bankruptcy or similar law), except to the extent that (a) the validity thereof shall concurrently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or (b) the failure to make such payment would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 5.06 Compliance with Laws. 

(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each member of the Controlled Group to, comply with respect to each Plan and
Multiemployer Plan, with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except to the extent that any failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, (i) comply with all Requirements of Law applicable
to it or its property (including Environmental Laws) and (ii) perform in all material respects its obligations under material agreements to which it is a party, except in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) where the failure to
do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The
Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.

 SECTION 5.07 Maintenance of Properties. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, do all things necessary
to maintain, preserve, protect and keep its properties (whether owned in fee or a leasehold interest) in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals and replacements
so that its business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, unless the Borrower determines in good faith that the continued maintenance of any of its properties is no longer economically desirable or failure to so
maintain, preserve, protect or keep its properties could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 76 

 SECTION 5.08 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; Redesignation of Unrestricted
Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) Unless designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to this
Section 5.08, each Specified Subsidiary shall be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (b) If the Borrower
designates any Specified Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to paragraph (c) below, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made an Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the fair market value as of the
date of such designation of the consolidated assets of such Subsidiary. 
 (c) The Borrower may designate, by written notice
to the Administrative Agent, any Specified Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) before and after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma
compliance with the Financial Covenants both before and after giving effect to such designation, (iii) the deemed Investment by the Borrower in such Unrestricted Subsidiary resulting from such designation would be permitted to be made at the
time of such designation under Section 6.05 and (iv) such Specified Subsidiary otherwise meets the requirements set forth in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”. Such written notice shall be accompanied by a certificate
of a Financial Officer, certifying as to the matters set forth in the preceding sentence. 
 (d) The Borrower may designate
any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, after giving effect to such designation: (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in each of the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality in the text thereof, such representations and warranties must be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such designation as
if made on and as of the date of such designation (or, if stated to have been made expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct in all material respects as of such date), (ii) no Default or Event of Default would exist, (iii) any
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary (which shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of the date of designation) is permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.03 and (iv) any Liens on Property of such
Subsidiary (which shall be deemed to be created or incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of the date of designation) are permitted to be created or incurred as of such date under Section 6.02. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Loan Party may be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 5.09 More Favorable Financial Covenants; Existing Credit Agreement Provisions. 

(a) If, at any time after the Effective Date, (x) any Other Debt Agreement includes one or more Additional Financial
Covenants (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to any Other Debt Agreement causing it to contain one or more Additional Financial Covenants) or (y) the Existing Credit
Agreement is amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified to include any Other Provisions, then (i) on or prior to the third Business Day following the effectiveness of any such Additional Financial Covenants or Other Provisions, as
applicable, the Borrower shall notify the 

  
 77 

 
Administrative Agent thereof, and (ii) whether or not the Borrower provides such notice, the terms of this Agreement shall, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, be deemed to be amended automatically to include each Additional Financial Covenant and each Other Provision, as applicable, in this Agreement, mutatis mutandis effective as of the date when such Additional
Financial Covenant became effective under such Other Debt Agreement or such Other Provision becomes effective under the Existing Credit Agreement, as applicable. The Borrower further covenants to promptly execute and deliver at its expense an
amendment to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders evidencing the amendment of this Agreement to include such Additional Financial Covenants or such Other Provisions, as applicable, in this Agreement;
provided that the execution and delivery of such amendment shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of such amendment as provided for in this Section 5.09(a), but shall merely be for the convenience of the parties hereto. 

(b) If at any time after this Agreement is amended pursuant to Section 5.09(a) to include any Additional Financial
Covenant contained in any Other Debt Agreement or any Other Provision contained in the Existing Credit Agreement (each, an “Incorporated Provision”), such Incorporated Provision ceases to be in effect under, or is deleted from, such Other
Debt Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, as applicable, or is amended or modified for the purposes of such Other Debt Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, as applicable, so as to become less restrictive with respect to the Borrower or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, then (i) on or prior to the third Business Day following the effectiveness of any such cessation, deletion, amendment or modification, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and
(ii) whether or not the Borrower provides such notice, so long as no Default or Event of Default in respect of such Incorporated Provision shall be in existence, the terms of this Agreement shall, without any further action on the part of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, be deemed to be amended automatically to delete such Incorporated Provision or incorporate the same amendments or modifications to such Incorporated Provision, as applicable, mutatis mutandis
effective as of the date when such Incorporated Provision ceased to be in effect under, or was deleted from, or was amended or modified in such Other Debt Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, as applicable. Upon the request of the Borrower,
the Required Lenders will execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement to delete or similarly amend or modify, as the case may be, such Incorporated Provision as in effect in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.09(b) as the result of any Incorporated Provision ceasing to be in effect or being deleted, amended or otherwise modified shall cause any covenant or Event of Default in this Agreement to be less restrictive
as to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary than such covenant or Event of Default as contained in this Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date, and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified thereafter (other than as the result of the
application of Section 5.09(a)).

the Secured Parties to share any of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations equally and ratably with any of the Senior Notes, and (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent, all in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Collateral Documents, the Borrower shall cause such personal property to be subject to a first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties to secure the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of, and subject to the exceptions set forth in, the Collateral Documents, subject in any case to Permitted Liens and (ii) to the extent not
covered by clause (i) immediately above, the Borrower acquires or holds Equity Interests in any Subsidiary that do not constitute Excluded Property and are not already subject to a first priority, perfected Lien in accordance with the

Mortgages and other documents serving notices of assignment and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01), which may be required by law or which the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to
carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. 

(d) From time to time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may request (by delivering a written request to the
Administrative Agent) that the Liens held by the Administrative 

  
 79 

 
Agent on any Oil and Gas Properties identified by the Borrower in such written request (the “Release Properties”) be released and substituted with new Liens on additional Oil and
Gas Properties identified by the Borrower in such written request (the “Substitute Properties”) that will constitute Collateral upon giving effect to such substitution. The Administrative Agent shall release such existing Liens on

Coverage Ratio after giving effect to such exchange, (ii) any Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with such exchange shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.09(d) and (iii) the consideration received in respect of such
Disposition shall be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the assets subject to such Disposition (as determined in good faith by a Financial Officer and, if the consideration received in respect of any such Disposition is equal to or
greater than $10,000,000, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying as to such fair market value determination);

ordinary course of business at prices and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restrictions set 

  
 91 

 
forth in this covenant shall not apply to (a) transactions between or among the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries not involving any other Affiliate, (b) any Restricted Payment

SECTION 6.14 Amendments to 2015 Term Loan Agreement. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend or

Date; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Borrower from amending or modifying the 2015 Term Loan Agreement in order to extend the maturity date of the 2015 Term Loans to coincide with the Scheduled Maturity Date if, on or prior
to June 14, 2017, the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Term Loans outstanding as of the Effective Date has been reduced by 50%.

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, and each
Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. It is understood and agreed that
the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative
Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained
by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness
of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 95 

 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, 45 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders or the Borrower, such removal to be effective
on the date specified by the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent may not be removed unless, on or prior to the date of such removal, (a) if the Administrative Agent (in its individual
capacity) or any Affiliate thereof is acting as an Issuing Bank as of such date, (i) such Person has been terminated and replaced in its capacity as an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(i) and (ii) no Letters of Credit issued by
such Person, as an Issuing Bank, are outstanding at such time (unless arrangements satisfactory to such Person for the cash collateralization thereof have been made) and (b) the Administrative Agent (in its individual capacity) has been
replaced in its capacity as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(b); provided that the consent or agreement of such Person, in any of its capacities, shall not be required in respect of its removal as a Lender. Upon any resignation or
removal of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its
intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time
(without the consent of any Lender but with, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor
Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall
make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lenders and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such Administrative Agent
has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000 and an office in New York, New York. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of

  
 96 

 
the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring
or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or
otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 
 None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a
Co-Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders
shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as Co-Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents, as
applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph. 
 The Lenders are not partners or
co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right
on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured
party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party
(other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon any Lien granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 9.02(c);
(ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable 

  
 97 

 
Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request
by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral
which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent (or such shorter advance notice as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to
evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens
without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent of documents in connection with any such
release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
 In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to
any Loan Party under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, administration, examinership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC
Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim
under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) collect and receive any monies or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, administrator,
examiner, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under
Section 9.03). 
 The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner
purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other applicable jurisdictions, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance 

  
 98 

 
of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law.
In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with
Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of
the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase).
In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured
Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including
any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this
Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained
in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which
were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party
or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better,
because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured
Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to
take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute
such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using

 (d) Electronic Systems. 

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined
below) available to any Issuing Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on an Electronic System. 
 (ii)
Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for
errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other
code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability
to any Loan Party, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising
out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System other than to the extent such damages, losses or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided
by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section,
including through an Electronic System. 
 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time. 
 (b) Subject to Section 9.02(e), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement
shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, 

  
 101 

 
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement (excluding mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.07(c)), or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change
Section 2.16(b) in a manner that would alter the order of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (v) change Section 2.16(d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release the Borrower from its obligations under the Loan
Documents without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) except as provided in Section 9.15(b), release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties, without the
written consent of each Lender or (ix) except as provided in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further
that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or each Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be (it
being understood that any change to Section 2.18 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank); provided further, that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.04 or any
letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between the Borrower and any Issuing Bank regarding the respective rights and obligations between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any
Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be
directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification. 
 (c) Each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any
of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon
Security Termination, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent
may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to the Borrower or any Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement,
(iv) in connection with a substitution of Collateral pursuant to Section 5.10(d), (v) with respect to the Equity Interests in any Designated Subsidiary, in connection with the incurrence of any Lien permitted pursuant to
Section 6.02(v), (vi) if approved or authorized in writing pursuant to Section 9.02(b) or (vii) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the
Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In addition, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its
Affiliates that are Secured Parties, irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to subordinate any Lien on any assets granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the
holder of 

  
 102 

 
any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(h) or (ii) in the event that the Borrower shall have advised the Administrative Agent that, notwithstanding the use by the
Borrower of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such holder (but without the requirement to pay any sums to obtain such consent) to permit the Administrative Agent to retain its Liens (on a subordinated basis as contemplated by
clause (i) above), the holder of such other Indebtedness requires, as a condition to the extension of such credit, that the Liens on such assets granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document be released, to release the
Administrative Agent’s Liens on such assets. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent of documents in connection with any such release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or
“each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.17(b). 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only,
amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, error, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency. 
 SECTION 9.03
Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Sole Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of one outside counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication and distribution (including via an Electronic System) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated),
(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including any reasonable legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and one
firm of regulatory counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest (as reasonably determined by an indemnified party), one additional firm
of counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations 

  
 103 

 
thereunder 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 any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence
or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) any material breach of the express obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents
pursuant to a claim initiated by any Loan Party or (z) any dispute solely between or among Indemnitees (not arising as a result of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), other than claims against any
Lender in its capacity as, or in fulfilling its role as, the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank, the Sole Lead Arranger or any similar role under the Loan Documents. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any
Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails
to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall
not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. 
 (d) No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment). 

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no party hereto shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates
or Related Parties to assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against each such other Person 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that
nothing contained in this paragraph (d) shall limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrower set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03, including the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify each Indemnitee for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the matters described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of such paragraph (b). 

  
 104 

 (f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than fifteen
(15) days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank 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 any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders and, for purposes of Section 9.20, the administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that the
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further,
that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 
 (C) each Issuing
Bank; provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan; 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans; 

  
 105 

 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the
Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; 

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

(E) no assignment shall be permitted if, as of the date thereof, any event or circumstance exists which would result in the
Borrower being obligated to pay any greater amount hereunder to the assignee than the Borrower is obligated to pay to the assigning Lender. 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following
meanings: 
 “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. 
 “Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender
or its Lender Parent, (c) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof. 

(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 Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 (c) of this Section. 

  
 106 

 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated
interest) of the Loans and 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 absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall 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, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or
(y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participant, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by
paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption 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 Sections 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(b), 2.16(e) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption 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. 
 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b)
that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.15(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results 

  
 107 

 
from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents
(the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit
or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge
or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans 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 Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any
fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13,
2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit
and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 SECTION 9.06
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of 

  
 108 

 
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed
to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirements of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written
consent. 
 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08 Right of
Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all of the Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees to
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

(b) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any
kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Credit Party or any Related Party of any Credit Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Transactions, in
any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and any appellate
court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Credit 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. 

  
 109 

 (c) 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 any other Loan Document in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 (d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. 1. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or as may be required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, in which case such Person shall, except with
respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental or bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law,
promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure, (iii) to any other party to this Agreement, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (v) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction relating to the Borrower
and its obligations or (C) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vi) with the consent of the Borrower or (vii) to the 

  
 110 

 
extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this
Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential; provided further that (notwithstanding the foregoing) no such nonpublic information which contains projections or forecasts with respect to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates shall be disclosed, disseminated or otherwise made available pursuant to clause (vii) above. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

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

(a) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. 
 SECTION 9.13 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of
the Patriot Act hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such
Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 9.14
Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with
Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s
instructions. 

  
 111 

 SECTION 9.15 Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Borrower may, but is not required to, at
any time upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, cause any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to become a Guarantor by causing such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a
Subsidiary Guaranty. 
 (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan
Documents (or would result from such release), (i) if all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction or transactions permitted by this Agreement
or (ii) in the event that, immediately after giving effect to the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty, all of the Indebtedness of the Subsidiaries is permitted under Section 6.03 (assuming for this purpose that
all such Indebtedness is incurred at such time), then, in each case, promptly following the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall execute a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guaranty. In connection with any
release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request
to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary
Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the
other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant
parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to 

  
 112 

 
disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the
Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

SECTION 9.18 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan
Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and
Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any
such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership
in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to
any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability
in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 SECTION 9.19 Release. The
Borrower, for and on behalf of itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, does waive, release, relinquish and forever discharge the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, their parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, their respective
past, present and future directors, officers, managers, agents, employees, insurers, attorneys, representatives and all of their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and
all manner of action or causes of action, suits, claims, demands, judgments, damages, levies and executions of whatsoever kind, nature or description arising on or before the execution and delivery of this Agreement, including any claims, losses,
costs or damages, including compensatory and punitive damages, in each case whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, which the Borrower, or its legal representatives,
successors or assigns, ever had or now has or may claim to have against any of the Released Parties, with respect to any matter whatsoever relating to the Loan Documents, the Existing Loan Documents, the administration of the Loan Documents, the
administration of the Existing Loan Documents, the negotiations relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection with this Agreement, the negotiations relating to the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing
Loan Documents executed in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and any other instruments and agreements executed by the Borrower or any Loan Party in connection with the Loan Documents, the Existing Loan Documents, this Agreement or the
Existing Credit Agreement, in each case, arising on or before the execution and delivery of this Agreement (collectively, “Claims”). The Borrower acknowledges that it is aware that it may discover facts different from or in addition
to those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the Claims, and agrees that the release contained in this Agreement is and will remain in effect in all respects as a 

  
 113 

 
complete and general release as to all matters released in this Agreement, notwithstanding any such different or additional facts. The Borrower agrees not to sue any Released Party or in any way
assist any other person or entity in suing a Released Party with respect to any Claim released in this Agreement.

 For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final

 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Moody’s Rating is Baal or

 “Level II Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the
Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Moody’s Rating is Baa2 or better or the S&P Rating is BBB or better. 

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level
II Status and (ii) the Moody’s Rating is Baa3 or better or the S&P Rating is BBB- or better. 
 “Level IV
Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status and (ii) the Moody’s Rating is Bal or better or the S&P Rating is BB+ or better. 

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status,

“Status” means Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status. 

The Applicable Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status based on the then-current
Moody’s Rating and S&P Rating. The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Schedule is the credit rating in effect at the close of business on such date. If at any time the Borrower has no Moody’s Rating and no

such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such
changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or
cessation.

 EXHIBIT B 

FORM OF SUBORDINATED INTERCOMPANY NOTE 

[INSERT DATE] 
 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, to the extent a borrower from time to time from any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”), hereby promises to pay on demand to the order of such other
entity listed below (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at such location in the United States of America as a Payee shall from time to time designate,
the unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances (including trade payables) made by such Payee to such Payor. Each Payor promises also to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans and advances in like money at said location
from the date of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee. 

This note (“Note”) is a Subordinated Intercompany Note referred to in the Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2016 (as
the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Southwestern Energy Company (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time
parties thereto as Lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the lenders, and is subject to the terms thereof, and shall be pledged by each Payee pursuant to
the Security Agreement, to the extent required pursuant to the terms thereof. Each capitalized term used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. Each Payee hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights provided in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement with respect to this Note. 

This Note evidences any and all advances made to each Payor by each respective Payee from time to time. It is contemplated that the original
principal sum evidenced by this Note may be reduced from time to time and that additional advances evidenced hereby may be made from time to time. Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances made by it to each Payor (all of
which shall be evidenced by this Note), the rate at which interest accrues thereon, and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information
contained therein. 
 In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by
applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by any Payor or inadvertently received by any Payee, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Payor shall notify such Payee, in writing,
that such Payor elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that no Payor pay and that no Payee receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully
paid by a Payor under applicable law. 

  
 Exhibit B, Page 1 

 All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether any Payor, any guarantor,
endorser or any other person or entity, hereby expressly waive presentation, demand of payment, protest, notice of demand of payment, protest and notice of non-payment, or any other notice of any kind with respect hereto. 

All payments under this Note shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind including, without limitation, for any
applicable taxes. Any amount owing by any Payor to any Payee shall not be reduced in any way by any outstanding obligations of such Payee to such Payor, whether such obligations are monetary or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if any taxes or amounts in respect thereof must be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable or paid by any Payor under this Note, each Payor shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that each Payee receives a
net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment (including any additional amounts payable under this paragraph) not been made subject to such taxes. 

No delay or failure on the part of any Payee in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, under any loan agreement or security agreement,
or at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any Payee of any right or remedy hereunder, under any loan agreement or security agreement, or at law or in equity shall preclude or estop another or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 
 Each Payor’s obligations under this Note with respect to all
advances, loans, accounts payables, and other extensions of credit made by such Payee to such Payor shall be payable in the same currency as such advances, loans, accounts payables, and other extensions of credit were made by such Payee to such
Payor. 
 Time is of the essence of this Note, and, if this Note is collected by or through an attorney at law, or under advice therefrom,
each Payor agrees to pay to each Payee all reasonable costs of collection incurred by each Payee in enforcing payment of this Note, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. 

IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS NOTE IS IN CONFLICT WITH ANY STATUTE OR RULE OF LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IS OTHERWISE UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY
REASON WHATSOEVER, THEN SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH INVALIDITY AND SHALL BE DEEMED SEPARABLE FROM AND SHALL NOT INVALIDATE ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS NOTE. 

Each Payor acknowledges that this Note will be pledged to the Administrative Agent by each Payee party to the Security Agreement as a grantor
thereunder and hereby further agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise all rights with respect to this Note as are provided in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Payor agrees that it will, upon receipt of written notice requesting same from the Administrative Agent, make all payments hereunder solely to, and accept demands for payment
hereunder solely from, the Administrative Agent. Further, each Payor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall any of the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent be deemed to have any commitment to provide any advances, loans, or
other extensions of credit to any Payor. 

  
 Exhibit B, Page 2 

 The repayment of this Note is subordinated to the repayment and performance of all Obligations
now or hereafter owing by each Payor to the Administrative Agent or any or all of the Secured Parties. After the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Payor agrees that it will not make any payment on this Note to a
Payee, and any such payment so received by any Payee shall be paid over by such Payee to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations, but such application shall not entitle any Payee to any rights of subrogation until Payment in
Full. 
 If all or any part of the assets of any Payor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to
the creditors of such Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the
business of any such Payor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Payor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of
any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any amounts evidenced by this Note shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application to
any of the Obligations, due or to become due, until Payment in Full. Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Payee upon or with respect to this Note after any Insolvency Event
and prior to Payment in Full, such Payee shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in
precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Payee as the
property of the Secured Parties. If any such Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each
Payee agrees that until Payment in Full, no Payee will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Payee has or may have against any Payor.

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this
“Guaranty”) is made as of [                    ] by
[                    ], a
[                    ] (together with any other entity that may from time to time become party hereto by signing a counterpart hereof or a
Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement as described below, collectively the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and each a “Subsidiary Guarantor”), in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as
administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement described below. 

WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS,
Southwestern Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), various financial institutions (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2016

provided, and such financial and other support as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Subsidiary Guarantors, and in consideration of the increased ability of each Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Borrower to receive funds
through contributions to capital, and for each Subsidiary Guarantor to receive funds through intercompany advances or otherwise, from funds provided to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit
Agreement for each Subsidiary Guarantor to do so which significantly facilitates the business operations of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and in order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit
Agreement, and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrower and to issue the Letters of Credit described in the Credit Agreement, and because each Subsidiary Guarantor has determined that executing this Guaranty is in its
interest and to its financial benefit, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is willing to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Credit Agreement Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) as of the date hereof, each of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, insofar as they relate to such Subsidiary Guarantor, are true and
correct in all respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date) and (b) such Subsidiary Guarantor will derive substantial direct or indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to the
Borrower provided for under the Credit Agreement. 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 1 

 SECTION 3. The Guaranty. Subject to Section 9 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as primary obligor and not as merely surety, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or early termination or otherwise, and at all times thereafter) all of the Obligations (hereafter referred to as “Guaranteed Obligations” (provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed
Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Subsidiary Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Subsidiary Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor for purposes of
determining any obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor)). Upon failure by the Borrower to pay punctually any of the Guaranteed Obligations, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall forthwith on written demand pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Credit Parties, the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to attempt to collect from, or to sue the Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

SECTION 4. Guaranty Unconditional. Subject to Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be
unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 
  

	 	(i)	any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise, or any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(ii)	any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest
rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby; 

  

	 	(iii)	any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any
obligation of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document or any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

 

	 	(iv)	any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the assets of any of the foregoing, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other
guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(v)	the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which such Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Credit Party or any other
Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 2 

	 	(vi)	any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any Requirement of Law purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations of the principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement, any Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document; 

  

	 	(vii)	the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

  

	 	(viii)	the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Credit Parties, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (or any successor statute, the
“Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable comparable Requirement of Law relating to such matters; 

 

	 	(ix)	any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable comparable Requirement of Law relating to such matters;

  

	 	(x)	the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable comparable Requirement of Law relating to such matters, of all or any portion of the claims of the Credit Parties or the
Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  

	 	(xi)	the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or 

  

	 	(xii)	any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Credit Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for
the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, except as provided in Section 5. 

SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on
the Notes or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document, or by any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Credit Party in its reasonable discretion), each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall
be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 SECTION 6. Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan
Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person. 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 3 

 SECTION 7. Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. 

(a) Subordination of Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees (i) not to assert any right, claim or
cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise, against the Borrower arising out of or by reason of this Guaranty or the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
payment or securing or purchasing of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) to waive any right to enforce any remedy which any Issuing Bank, any of the Credit Parties or the Administrative Agent now have
or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Subsidiary Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any
security or collateral given to the Credit Parties, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Credit Parties,
the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), unless and until Payment in Full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the
Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties and their
respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 7(a). 

(b) Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such
Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations until Payment in Full;
provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Subsidiary Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any
Subsidiary Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other
Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by
judicial action or otherwise, unless and until Payment in Full. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or
complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if
substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash,
securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Subsidiary Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the
Administrative Agent for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until Payment in Full. Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor
upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 4 

 
Event and prior to Payment in Full, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Subsidiary Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not
due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Subsidiary Guarantor as the property of the Credit Parties. If any such Subsidiary Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that until Payment in Full, no Subsidiary Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the
Administrative Agent) any claim any such Subsidiary Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor. 
 SECTION 8. Stay of
Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the
Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9. Limitation on Obligations. 

(a) The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any
state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable,
invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further
action by any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount
determined hereunder being the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 9(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors is intended solely to preserve the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither a Subsidiary Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 9(a) with respect to
the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. 

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum
Liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Subsidiary Guarantors, without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Nothing in this
Section 9(b) shall be construed to increase any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

(c) If any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Paying Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under
this Guaranty, each other Subsidiary Guarantor (each a “Non Paying Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such Non Paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share”
of such payment or payments made by such Paying Subsidiary Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non Paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment by a Paying Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
determined as of the date on which such payment was made by reference to 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 5 

 
the ratio of (i) such Non Paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) to (ii) the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder
(including such Paying Subsidiary Guarantor) (as determined immediately prior to the making of such payment or payments). As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be equal to the
excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Subsidiary Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated,
without duplication, assuming each other Subsidiary Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Subsidiary Guarantors as of such date in a manner to
maximize the amount of such contributions. Nothing in this Section 9(c) shall affect any Subsidiary Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Maximum
Liability). Each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a Non Paying Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations.
The provisions of this Section 9(c) are for the benefit of the Credit Parties and the Subsidiary Guarantors and may be enforced by any of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall
be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of
subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Subsidiary Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. 

SECTION 10. Application of Payments. All payments received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in the order set forth in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.
Release of Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Subsidiary Guarantor will be unconditionally and absolutely released and discharged from its obligations under this Guaranty as set forth in Section 9.15(b) of the
Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 12. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given as provided in
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement, addressed (a) to the Administrative Agent at the address listed in Section 9.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement and (b) with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor, to the attention of the
Borrower at the address listed in Section 9.01(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement or to such other address or to the attention of such other Person as hereafter shall be designated in writing by the applicable party sent in accordance herewith. 

SECTION 13. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty,
the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 6 

 SECTION 14. No Duty to Advise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that the Administrative Agent does not have any duty to advise such Subsidiary Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. In the event any
Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation
(i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking
practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Subsidiary Guarantor. 

SECTION 15. Successors and Assigns. No Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder, but this
Guaranty and such obligations shall be fully binding upon the successors of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as well as such Subsidiary Guarantor. This Guaranty shall apply to and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party and its successors and permitted
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, each Credit Party may, to the extent and in the manner provided for in Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement, assign, grant a participation in, or otherwise transfer
any of the Obligations held by it or any portion thereof, and each Credit Party may, to the extent and in the manner provided for in the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become entitled to all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Credit Party
hereunder. 
 SECTION 16. Changes in Writing, Amendments, Etc. Other than in connection with the addition of Subsidiary Guarantors
pursuant to Section 20 hereof, no amendment or any other modification of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, and no waiver of any
provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 SECTION 17. Costs of Enforcement. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees
to pay all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses, paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (A) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. (B) EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR
EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF ANY CREDIT PARTY IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE SUPREME COURT OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM

  
 Exhibit C, Page 7 

 
ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION 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 GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY CREDIT PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. (C) EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR 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 GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT
REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(D) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 12. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. (E) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (1) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (2) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS GUARANTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 19. Taxes. etc. All payments
required to be made by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or
other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political or taxing authority thereof (but excluding Excluded Taxes), provided, however, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor is required by law to make such deduction or withholding,
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall forthwith (i) pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender such additional amount as results in the net amount received by the Administrative Agent equaling the full amount which would have been
received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender had no such deduction or withholding been made, (ii) pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) furnish to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender certified copies of official receipts evidencing payment of such withholding taxes within 30 days after such payment is made. 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 8 

 SECTION 20. Joinder of Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Upon the execution and delivery
by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement”) to the Administrative Agent, (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional
Subsidiary Guarantor” and shall become and be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder for all purposes hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “ Subsidiary Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional
Subsidiary Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Subsidiary Guarantor and (ii) each reference herein to
“this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Subsidiary Guaranty”, “thereunder”,
“thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement. 

SECTION 21. Automatic Acceleration in Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower specified
in clauses (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, all Obligations shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each
Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 SECTION 22. Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party and the
Administrative Agent may, regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, set off and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated at any time held) and other obligations at any time owing by such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any
Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be unmatured. So
long as no Event of Default then exists, each Credit Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Credit Party or the Administrative Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Credit
Party or the Administrative Agent may have. 
 SECTION 23. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 24. Entire Agreement.
This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties hereof and thereof relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. 
 SECTION 25. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of
this Guaranty and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 26.
Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Subsidiary Guarantor to honor
all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 26 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be
hereby incurred 

  
 Exhibit C, Page 9 

 
without rendering its obligations under this Section 26 or otherwise under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and
not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 26 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with
the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 26 constitute, and this Section 26 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for
the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used herein, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Specified Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that
has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes or would become effective with respect to such Specified Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an ECP and can
cause another Person to qualify as an ECP at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used herein, “Specified Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Loan Party,
any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. 

SECTION 27. Delivery of Counterparts. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by facsimile, emailed
..pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may
be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
