 35 

 6.1 Employees. 
 (a) The employment of all employees of Seller employed in connection with the Acquired Assets will be terminated by Seller as of the Closing Date. It is Purchaser’s intention and Purchaser may, but shall be under
no obligation to, offer employment to any or all eligible employees of Seller employed in connection with the Acquired Assets. If Purchaser offers employment to such employees, the salary offered (including any bonus) will be no less favorable than
the current salary paid to such employees on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date and with benefits no less favorable in any material respects than the benefits provided by Purchaser to its own similarly situated employees (the
“Employment Offer”). Purchaser shall not assume any of Seller’s employment Liabilities that have accrued on or before the Closing Date, including without limitation unpaid FICA, FUTA, unemployment Tax, pension or profit-sharing
plan contributions, employee fringe benefits, Liabilities under the WARN Act, severance benefits, bonuses, vacation time or pay or incentive programs of any type, nor shall Purchaser acquire any interest in or obligation under any pension, profit
sharing, retirement or other plan of Seller. Seller shall retain all severance obligations, if any, to its employees. Seller shall retain all Liabilities relating to any Employee Benefit Plan. 
 (b) Seller or Seller’s ERISA Affiliate shall maintain a Health Plan after the Closing Date and provide continuation of health coverage pursuant to
COBRA for all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries. “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries” means each individual who is a “qualified beneficiary” whose “qualifying event” occurred prior to or in connection with the sale of the
Acquired Assets and who is, or whose qualifying event occurred in connection with, a covered employee whose last employment prior to the qualifying event was associated with the Acquired Assets being sold. (The terms within quotes are as defined in
COBRA and its related regulations). On the Closing Date, all Business Employees and Key Business Employees hired by Purchaser shall become employees of Purchaser and not of Seller. 
 (c) Purchaser shall honor seniority of all Business Employees and Key Business Employees, for vacation purposes, who become employees of Purchaser (i.e.
if Seller’s terminated employee would have been entitled to two weeks vacation in their position with Seller but would only be entitled to one week of vacation in the comparable position with Purchaser, such employee will receive two weeks
vacation, subject to all applicable vacation eligibility rules of Purchaser). 
 (d) Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in making any
notices required by the WARN Act or other applicable federal or state laws. 
 (e) Purchaser shall notify Seller regarding which Business
Employees and Key Business Employees have been employed by Purchaser within ten (10) days following the Closing Date. Purchaser shall properly prepare and furnish to each Business Employee and Key Business Employee who is employed by Purchaser
and for whom U.S. Tax reporting is required a Form W-2 that shall reflect all wages and compensation paid to such Business Employee and such Key Business Employee for the entire calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. Purchaser shall send to
the appropriate Social Security Administration office a duly completed Form W-3 and accompanying copies of the duly completed Forms W-2. Purchaser shall properly prepare and file a final Form 941 and Schedule D (Form 941) with respect to the

 36 

 
Seller shall furnish to Purchaser the Forms W-4 and W-5 of each Business Employee and Key Business Employee that Seller is timely notified is employed by
Purchaser for the portion of the calendar year up to and including the Closing Date. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 6.1 shall be carried out in accordance with Sections 5

 (f) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that as of the Closing Date they will enter into the Shared Services Agreement, pursuant to which Seller shall
provide Purchaser with the services of certain of its employees to assist Purchaser in the transition period following the Closing Date. 
 6.2 Non-assignable Contracts and Permits and Liquor Licenses 
 (a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt
to assign to Purchaser any Contract or Permit which by applicable law or its terms is non-assignable or the assignment of which would constitute a violation of law, contract, commitment, or other agreement. To the Knowledge of Seller, no Contract or
Permit is non-assignable or would, in the event it were assigned, constitute a violation of any law, contract, commitment or other agreement. 
 (b) If, as of the Closing Date, an attempted assignment of any Non-Material Contract or Permit (other than a Liquor License) would be ineffective or would affect Purchaser’s rights thereunder so that Purchaser would not in fact receive
all such rights (the “Non-assigned Contracts and Permits”), then such failure shall not affect the Closing except as hereinafter set forth. If a Liquor License has not been received for one or more Restaurants (the “Affected
Restaurant”), Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in a mutually acceptable arrangement and to the extent not prohibited by law to provide Purchaser the benefit (including the economic benefit) of Seller’s ability to sell and/or consume
alcoholic beverages on the premises at the Affected Restaurant, including but not limited to entering into on the Closing Date a management agreement substantially similar to that set out in Exhibit R. Further, Seller must obtain the written consent
of such third parties listed on Section 6.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule in connection with the transfer of certain Liquor Licenses into Purchaser’s name as licensee or co-licensee. If, and so long after the Closing Date as, such
assignment shall not have been made or such Liquor License not received, Seller shall: (i) to the extent that such action shall not result in violation of the Non-assigned Contracts and Permits or applicable law, transfer to Purchaser all
Acquired Assets and rights, including all monies, received in respect of the Affected Restaurants and the Non-assigned Contracts and Permits and hold the Affected Restaurants and Non-assigned Contracts and Permits in trust for Purchaser, and
(ii) to the extent that the provisions of clause (i) above are not sufficient to transfer all of the benefits (including the economic benefit) of the Affected Restaurants and the Non-assigned Contracts and Permits, or any of the
Non-assigned Contracts and Permits has been canceled as a result of the attempted assignment, take such actions (which, without limitation, may include entering into subcontracting arrangements with Purchaser) as are necessary to provide all of the
benefits (or the equivalent thereof, including the economic benefit) of the Affected Restaurants and the Non-assigned Contracts and Permits to Purchaser. 
  

 37 

 (c) Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall derogate from the parties’ obligations under
Section 5.1(a). Further, Seller agrees and acknowledges that in addition to the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1, Purchaser has no obligation to proceed to a Closing prior to the Termination Date as long as Purchaser has not
received the requisite Liquor Licenses for each of the Restaurants. If, on the Termination Date, Purchaser has not received a Liquor License for each of the Restaurants and all of the other conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have been
satisfied or waived, then Seller and Purchaser agree to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Termination Date (which will become the Closing Date) subject to clause (b) above of this Section 6.2. 
 6.3 Confidentiality. Purchaser and Seller, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement and notwithstanding the earlier termination of this Agreement, shall keep, and shall cause their Affiliates,
attorneys, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives to keep, any and all Confidential Information (as defined below) confidential and not to disclose any Confidential Information to any Person other than such parties’
Affiliates, directors, managers, members, officers, employees or agents, and then only on a confidential basis; provided, however, that such parties may disclose Confidential Information (a) as required by law, rule, regulation or
judicial process, including as required to be disclosed in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) to such parties’ attorneys, accountants and financial advisors who have agreed to keep the
Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof or (c) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority; and provided further that Purchaser may disclose such information to its financing sources. Purchaser may
also disclose this Agreement and related Confidential Information to the creditors, customers or potential customers of the Seller to the extent Purchaser reasonably determines that such disclosure is appropriate to facilitate the fulfillment of the
conditions precedent set forth in Article V hereof and to the extent the Confidential Information constitutes an Acquired Asset acquired by Purchaser, as necessary to run the Business after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Confidential Information” shall include all information about Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Seller and its Affiliates on the other hand, which has been furnished to the other parties or their Affiliates
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the negotiations of this Agreement; provided, however, that the term “Confidential Information” shall not be deemed to

furnishing such other information within such party’s possession requested by the party filing such returns as is relevant to their preparation. In the case of any Tax Return, such cooperation shall also relate to any other taxable periods in
which one party could reasonably require the assistance of the other party in obtaining any necessary information. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any
Governmental Authority with respect to the Business in connection with any Tax audit or examination information request with respect to any period beginning prior to the Closing Date. 
 (c) Seller and its duly authorized representatives, at Seller’s expense, shall have the sole right to supervise or otherwise coordinate any Tax
audit or examination process with respect to the Business and to negotiate, resolve, settle or contest any asserted adjustment to any Tax, or assert or prosecute any claim for refund or credit of any overpayment of any Tax for taxable periods ending
on or before the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall not settle, resolve or compromise such examination without the written consent of Purchaser if such settlement, resolution, or compromise could affect in any way the Business or the Acquired
Assets or the liability of Purchaser for any Taxes for any period. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to participate at its expense in the defense of any such claim relating to any taxable
period that includes the Closing Date and, with the written consent of Purchaser at Seller’s sole expense, may assume the entire defense of such claim Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller shall not take any action with respect
to any Tax Return or any Tax that would have any material affect on any Liability of Purchaser for any Tax or the obligation of Purchase to file any Tax Return.

party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure (as such terms are used in regulations promulgated under Code §6011) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or Tax analyses) provided to such party or such Person relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure, except to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws;
provided, however, that such disclosure may not be made until the earlier of the date of (i) public announcement of discussions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) execution of this Agreement. This
authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information including (without limitation) (A) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the transactions’ Tax treatment or Tax structure, (B) the

 6.11 Non-Competition. Both Mitchell and Seller will
execute an agreement not to compete in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and Exhibit “J”, respectively. 
 6.12
Use of “Mitchell.” As part of this Agreement, Seller is assigning to Purchaser the service mark “Mitchell’s Ocean Club”, the name/mark “Mitchell”, and the domain name “www.
mitchellsoceanclub.com,” together with all of their good will. For the name/mark “Mitchell,” Purchaser agrees to grant to Seller at Closing an exclusive, non-assignable and royalty-free license to use only as set forth below. For
mark “Mitchell’s Ocean Club,” Purchaser agrees to grant to Seller at Closing an exclusive, non-assignable and royalty-free license to use the mark “Mitchell’s Ocean Club” and the domain name
“www.mitchellsoceanclub.com,” on the following terms. 
 (a) Mitchell’s Ocean Club: Seller may continue to use
the service mark “Mitchell’s Ocean Club” at the current store location at 4002 Easton Station, Columbus, Ohio, 43219 for as long as Seller operates the business at this location. Seller is prohibited from assigning this license to any
purchaser of the business at this location or moving the name to a new location. 
 (b) Cameron Mitchell Catering Company: Seller may
use the name/mark “Mitchell” as part of the name “Cameron Mitchell Catering Company” in connection with Seller’s 
  

 41 

 
catering business located in Columbus, Ohio. Seller is prohibited from expanding the catering business outside of the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area under
the name “Cameron Mitchell Catering Company.” This right is not assignable to third parties who may purchase the catering business.

Seller operates its business under such name.

“Cameron Mitchell” as or in the name of any seafood and/or steakhouse dining business identical to or commercially similar to the Business and the restaurants owned and operated by Purchaser as of the Closing Date. 
 6.13 Cameron’s Steakhouse. 
 (a)
As part of this Agreement, Purchaser is acquiring all right, title and interest to the name and mark “Cameron’s Steakhouse” in connection with “steakhouse and seafood restaurant services.” Seller recognizes that to the
extent Seller retains ownership of the mark “Cameron’s” for all other restaurant services and seeks to register mark(s) using that name in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and Purchaser’s application for
“Cameron’s Steakhouse” matures into a registration, there may be a finding by the Patent & Trademark Office that the marks as used by the different parties may cause a likelihood of confusion on each other and thus are not
registrable under Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1052(d)). The parties agree to execute at the Closing a Consent Agreement in the form attached hereto as part of Exhibit B (F), in which each party recognizes the right of the
other to own, use and register its respective mark(s) and agrees that the use of the same will not cause a likelihood of confusion. Mitchell also agrees to provide his consent to the use of his personal name “Cameron” as part of any
application that is filed at the Patent & Trademark Office now or in the future by separate document in the form attached hereto as part of Exhibit B. 
 (b) Seller agrees to cease operating the Cameron’s Steakhouse location at 5750 North Port Washington Road, Glendale, Wisconsin 53217 and it is not part of the Acquired Assets. As Purchaser is acquiring all
rights, title and interest in and to the mark “Cameron’s Steakhouse,” in connection with “steakhouse and seafood restaurant services”, it will grant to Seller a non-exclusive, non-assignable, royalty-free and temporary
license (as set forth in the form attached hereto as part of Exhibit B) to use the mark only at this location for ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date in the event Seller has not ceased operating this location by the Closing Date.

  

 42 

 (c) Nothing in this section 6.13 shall prohibit or preclude Seller from offering steak or seafood menu
items in Seller’s provision of restaurant, lounge, food or catering services; provided that no such steak or seafood items shall be a primary or focal menu item(s) in the provision of such services.

the cross-receipt executed by both Purchaser and Seller on the Closing Date.

Property Leases that as of the Closing Date have a remaining term of less than 10 years (including any renewal options exercisable by the lessee thereunder), after the Closing Date Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser
in obtaining an extension to, or an option to extend, such lease term on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; provided, Seller’s obligation hereunder shall expire six (6) months following the Closing Date. 

6.16 Real Property Lease Notices. Seller will provide the Purchaser with copies of all notices from any landlord under each Real Property Lease
within three (3) business days of receipt of such notice. 
 6.17 Bulk Sales Laws. Seller agrees to pay and discharge, when due,
all claims of creditors that could be asserted against Purchaser by reason of noncompliance with any Bulk Sales Law applicable to the transactions anticipated by this Agreement. 
 6.18 Additional Assurances. At any time following the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s request and without further consideration, Seller shall
provide such materials and information and take such actions as Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to provide Purchaser with the rights and benefits intended to be conveyed under this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, including, without limitation any reasonable request by Purchaser for assistance (i) in connection with the Intellectual Property including any related filings or registrations or (ii) in connection with the Liquor Licenses or
other Permits including the transfer thereof and such other assistance to apply for, obtain or make any authorizations, consents, filings, approvals, and Permits (including Liquor Licenses) necessary for Purchaser to conduct the Business and operate
the Acquired Assets in the same manner conducted and operated by Seller on the date hereof. 
 6.19 Survivability. The provisions of
this Article VI shall survive the Closing Date. 
 ARTICLE VII – INDEMNIFICATION 
 7.1 Survival of Representations. All of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in Articles III and IV this
Agreement, along with the covenants set forth in Articles V, shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Limitation Period”); provided, however, that claims asserted in good faith with

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (i) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, subject to the
limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Revolving Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to lend to Company from time to time during the period from the Restatement Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A. The amount of each Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment, as of the Restatement Date, is set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.1 annexed hereto, and the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as of the Restatement Date, is $250,000,000; provided that the amount
of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignment of such Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to subsection 10.1B and shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions
thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4. Each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving
Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(i) may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. 
 Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect. 
 (ii) Swing Line Loans. 
 (a) General Provisions. Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject to the limitations set forth in the last paragraph of subsection 2.1A(i) and set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Swing Line
Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to make a portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments available to Company from time to time during the period from the Restatement Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when
aggregated with Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage then in effect, may exceed Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. The original amount of the
Swing Line Loan Commitment is $5,000,000; provided that any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount made pursuant to subsection 2.4 that reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to an amount less than the then current amount of
the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall result in an automatic corresponding 

  

 27 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
reduction of the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as so reduced, without any further action on
the part of Company, Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing
Line Loans shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. 
 (b) Swing Line Loan Prepayment with Proceeds of Revolving Loans. With respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been
voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company), no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the
first Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded
Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Company hereby authorizes the giving of any such notice and the making of any such Revolving Loans. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
(1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the
Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and
such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line
Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender. Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Company’s accounts with Administrative Agent and
Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders, including the
Revolving Loan deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of
Company from Swing Line Lender in any bankruptcy proceeding, in any assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by
subsection 10.5.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (c) Swing Line Loan Assignments. On the Funding Date of each Swing Line Loan,
each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, purchase an assignment of such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share. If for any reason (1) Revolving Loans are not made upon the request of Swing Line Lender as
provided in the immediately preceding paragraph in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of such Swing Line Loan or (2) the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated at a time when such Swing Line Loan
is outstanding, upon notice from Swing Line Lender as provided below, each Revolving Lender shall fund the purchase of such assignment in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (calculated, in the case of the foregoing clause (2), immediately prior
to such termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to Swing Line
Lender such amount in same day funds at the Funding and Payment Office. In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each Revolving Lender agrees to enter
into an Assignment Agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender any amount as provided in this
paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business
Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount with respect to which other Revolving Lenders have funded the purchase of assignments as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall
promptly distribute to each such other Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment. 
 (d) Revolving Lenders’
Obligations. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii)(b) and each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase an assignment of any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a
Potential Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Revolving Lender are subject to the condition that
(x) Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 4 

  

 29 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, were satisfied at the time such Refunded
Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or (y) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing
Line Loans were made. 
 B. Borrowing Mechanics. Loans made on any Funding Date (other than Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans
made pursuant to a request by Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii) or Revolving Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Swing Line
Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Whenever Company desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a duly
executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan) or at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding
Date (in the case of a Base Rate Loan). Whenever Company desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a duly executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the
proposed Funding Date. Revolving Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Company may give Administrative Agent
telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under this subsection 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent on or
before the applicable Funding Date. 
 Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any
telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Officer or other Person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B or under
subsection 2.2D, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2D, in each case in accordance with this
Agreement, pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans or a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder. 
 Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and
correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing. 
 Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of Borrowing for, or a Notice
of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to make a
borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 C. Disbursement of Funds. All Revolving Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and
proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the amount of the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be,
of the proposed borrowing. Each such Lender (other than Swing Line Lender) shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the applicable Funding Date, and Swing Line Lender
shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (San Francisco time) on the applicable Funding Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and Payment Office. Except as
provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans or to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, upon satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Restatement Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Company on the applicable
Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office. 
 Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to a Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to
Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative
Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate
payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a
result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 D. The Register. Administrative Agent, acting for these purposes solely as an agent of
Company (it being acknowledged that Administrative Agent, in such capacity, and its officers, directors, employees, agent and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees under subsection 10.3), shall maintain (and make available for inspection by
Company upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times) at its address referred to in subsection 10.8 a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders and the respective amounts of the Revolving Loan
Commitment, Swing Line Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the
Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof; all amounts owed with respect to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof;
and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee
of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent
manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Lender’s records. Failure to make any recordation in the Register or in any Lender’s records, or
any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Loans or Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any Loans. 
 E. Optional
Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Restatement Date or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or,
if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to subsection 10.1) on the Restatement Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Restatement Date, promptly after Company’s receipt
of such notice) a promissory note or promissory notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit V or Exhibit VI annexed hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.

  

	 	2.2	Interest on the Loans 

 A. Rate of
Interest. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.7, each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined
by reference to the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with
respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D. If on any day a Revolving Loan is outstanding with
respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by
reference to the Base Rate.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
third succeeding Business Day following the receipt by Administrative Agent of such Compliance Certificate (subject to the provisions of the foregoing clause
(i)); provided that, if at any time a Compliance Certificate is not delivered at the time required pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv), from the time such Compliance Certificate was required to be delivered until the third Business Day succeeding
delivery of such Compliance Certificate, the applicable margins shall be the maximum percentage amount for the relevant Loan set forth above. 
 (iii) Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Swing Line Loans shall bear interest through maturity at the sum of the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans
minus a rate equal to the commitment fee percentage then in effect as determined pursuant to subsection 2.3A. 
 B. Interest
Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”)
to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that: 
 (i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a
Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan; 
 (ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; 
 (iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would
otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; 
 (iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; 
 (v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date; 
 (vi) there shall be no more than eight Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and 
  

 34 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (vii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. 
 C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that
Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that, in the event any Swing Line Loans or any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i),
interest accrued on such Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity). 
 D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6, Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or
any part of its outstanding Revolving Loans equal to $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference
to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $500,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar
Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Company shall deliver a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) at least
one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation
of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided
that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of
any Loan subject to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation. 
 E. Default Rate. From and after the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default if so elected by Requisite Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts
then due and payable hereunder, shall, from and after such occurrence, bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand by Administrative Agent at a
rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the
interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective
such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the 

  

 35 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
subsection 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day
year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of
the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as
the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of
such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan. 
 G. Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by
Company with respect to any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law. 
  

	 	2.3	Fees

 (ii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. Except as provided in subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the
principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal. 
 (iii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate payments of principal and interest shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to
which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at the account specified in the payment instructions delivered to Administrative

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in
lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning interest payments received thereafter. 
 (iv) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder, as the case may be. 
 (v) Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by
granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided that the
failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Company hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal or interest
on such Note. 
 C. Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments after Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during

Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

	 	2.6	Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered: 
 A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. On each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the
applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each applicable Lender. 
 B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any
Interest Rate Determination Date that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition
of “Eurodollar Rate,” Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted
to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by
Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan. 
 C.
Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation
with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or
would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any
such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such determination. Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each other Lender of the receipt of such notice. Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the
Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall
make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the
earlier to 

  

 43 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans
shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by
giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above. Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each other Lender of the receipt of such notice. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as,
or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 D. Compensation For Breakage or
Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to subsection 2.8, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to
lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for
any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request therefor, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (including any
prepayment or conversion occasioned by the circumstances described in subsection 2.6C) occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made
on any date specified in a Notice of Prepayment given by Company, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement. 
 E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its
branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender. 
 F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had funded each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the
rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its Eurodollar
Rate Loans had been funded in such manner. 
 G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the
continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after 

  

 44 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan or, if the conditions to making a Loan set forth in subsection
4.2 cannot then be satisfied, to be rescinded by Company. 
  

	 	2.7	Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy 

 A. Compensation for Increased Costs. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (including Issuing Lender) shall determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law: 
 (i) subjects such Lender to any additional tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder (including with respect to issuing or maintaining any Letters of Credit or
purchasing or maintaining any participations therein or maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder (except for the imposition of, or any change in the rate
of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); 
 (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of
such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”); or 
 (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such Lender or its obligations hereunder or the
interbank Eurodollar market; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining its
Loans or Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto;
then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest
or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Company shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7A for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than 270 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such Change in Law and such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within 270 days
from the date on which the applicable Government Authority informed such Lender of such Change in Law.

 B. Taxes. 
 (i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Company under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. 
 (ii) Grossing-up of Payments. If Company or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any
Lender under any of the Loan Documents: 
 (a) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any
change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; 
 (b) Company shall timely pay any such Tax to the
relevant Government Authority when such Tax is due, in accordance with applicable law; 
 (c) unless such Tax is an Excluded
Tax, the sum payable by Company shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after making the required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection 2.7B(ii)), Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been required or made; and 
 (d) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any such deduction, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay,
Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other document satisfactory to the other affected parties to evidence the payment and its remittance to the relevant Government Authority.

 (iii) Indemnification by Company. Company shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection 2.7B(iii)) paid
by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (iv) Tax Status of Lenders. Unless not legally entitled to do so: 

(a) any Lender, if requested by Company or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such forms or other documentation prescribed by

 (b) any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall deliver to Company and Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter, as may be necessary in the determination of Company
or Administrative Agent, each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), such properly completed and duly executed forms or other documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding; 
 (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident
for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Company and 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

 (e) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any
Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and has not otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of Company and Administrative Agent that it is an exempt recipient (as defined in section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the
United States Treasury Regulations thereunder) shall deliver to Company and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of Company or Administrative Agent), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9; and 
  

 48 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (f) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees,
from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such
Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent and Company two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or
statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not
act for its own account with respect to any portion of such payment, or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. 
 C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or
other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such
Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, Company shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7C for any reduction in
respect of a period occurring more than 270 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such Change in Law and such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within 270 days from the date on which the applicable Government Authority informed such Lender of such Change in Law. 
  

	 	2.8	Statement of Lenders; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lender to Mitigate 

 A. Statements. Each Lender claiming compensation or reimbursement pursuant to subsection 2.6D, 2.7 or 2.8B shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such compensation or reimbursement, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 B. Mitigation. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender
responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender
or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7, it will use reasonable efforts to make, issue, fund or maintain the 

  

 49 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such
Lender or Issuing Lender, if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing
Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided
that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a
result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described above. 
  

	 	2.9	Replacement of a Lender 

 If Company
receives a statement of amounts due pursuant to subsection 2.8A from a Lender, a Revolving Lender defaults in its obligations to fund a Revolving Loan pursuant to this Agreement, a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to
consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to subsection 10.6, requires consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected or a Lender becomes an Affected Lender (any such
Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (i) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase
at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding
(unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit) are made) and (iii), if applicable, the Subject Lender is unwilling to withdraw the notice
delivered to Company pursuant to subsection 2.8 and/or is unwilling to remedy its default upon ten days prior written notice to the Subject Lender and Administrative Agent, Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and
Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1B; provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (a) the Subject Lender shall have received
payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if applicable)) through such date of replacement and a release from its obligations under the Loan Documents,
(b) the processing fee required to be paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent (provided, however, that the Non-Consenting Lender or the Subject Lender shall not be required to pay such processing
fee), (c) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B, including the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement executed by the
assignee (Administrative Agent being hereby authorized to execute any Assignment Agreement on behalf of a Subject Lender relating to the assignment of Loans and/or Commitments of such subject Lender) and other supporting documents, have been
fulfilled, and (d) in the event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and Company also
requires each other Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments.

	 	2.10	Increase in Commitments 

 A. Request for
Increase. Upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify Lenders), Company may from time to time, but on not more than two separate occasions, by written notice to Administrative Agent request an increase in the
Revolving Loan Commitments by an amount (for both such requests in the aggregate) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or such lesser amount that is

increase. Company and such Lender shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel to evidence the increase in such Lender’s Revolving Loan
Commitment. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase in Revolving Loan Commitments Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative
Agent and its counsel, provided that Administrative Agent shall have consented to any such Eligible Assignee becoming a Lender. Company shall have no right to increase Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.10 except to the
extent Company obtains the agreement of one or more Lenders and/or Eligible Assignees (and, in the case of any such Eligible Assignee, any requisite consent) to accept such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments. Nothing contained in this paragraph
or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to commit any Lender or Administrative Agent to provide any portion of any increase in Revolving Loan Commitments. 
 C. Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Loan Commitments are increased in accordance with this subsection 2.10, Administrative Agent and Company shall determine the effective date (each, an
“Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and Lenders (and any designated Eligible Assignees) of the final allocation of
such increase and the applicable Increase Effective Date. 
 D. Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As conditions precedent to
each such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments, (i) Company shall pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Lender providing such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such
increase in Revolving Loan Commitments, a fee, if any, to be agreed upon at the time such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments is provided and (ii) Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate of Company dated
as of the applicable Increase Effective Date:

 (2) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase in Revolving
Loan Commitments: 
 (A) the representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true,
correct and complete in all material respects on and as of the applicable Increase Effective Date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier
date, in which case such representations and warranties are true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that where a representation and warranty is already qualified as to materiality, such
representation and warranty shall be true, correct and complete as so qualified; 
 (B) no event has occurred and is
continuing or would result from the consummation of the requested increase in Revolving Loan Commitments that would constitute an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; 
 (C) each Loan Party has performed in all material respects all agreements and satisfied all conditions which this Agreement provides
shall be performed or satisfied by it on or before the applicable Increase Effective Date; and 
 (3) demonstrating that
Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance, on a pro forma basis (as though any Loans to be made on the applicable Increase Effective Date have been made), with each of the financial covenants specified in subsection 7.6, before and after giving
effect to such increase, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter in the case of the financial covenant specified in subsection 7.6A and as of the applicable Increase Effective Date in the case of the financial covenant specified
in subsection 7.6B. 
 E. Company shall either (1) prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the applicable Increase Effective
Date or (2) submit a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans as of the applicable Increase Effective Date (which Revolving Loans shall be funded solely by the Revolving Lenders that have increased their respective Revolving Loan
Commitments as of such Increase Effective Date), in each case solely to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares of Revolving

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
Loans arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments under this subsection 2.10. Company shall execute and deliver any additional
Revolving Notes as any Lender may reasonably request and any other documents, instruments and amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. In connection with any increase in
Revolving Loan Commitments provided for in this subsection 2.10, conforming amendments shall be made to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments, including, if applicable, to include Lenders
of such increased Revolving Loan Commitments in any determination of Lenders, Requisite Lenders and Pro Rata Share. Any such amendment shall become effective when executed by Administrative Agent and each Lender that has increased its Revolving Loan
Commitment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement expressed or implied to the contrary (including in subsection 10.6), nothing herein shall be construed to require consent from Lenders that are not lenders of such increased Revolving Loan
Commitments to the incurrence of the increase in Revolving Loan Commitments in compliance with this subsection 2.10, and this subsection 2.10 shall supersede any provisions in subsection 10.6 to the contrary. 
 Section 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  

	 	3.1	Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations Therein 

 A. Letters of Credit. Company may request, in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Restatement Date to but excluding the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date, that Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit for the account of Company for the general corporate purposes of Company or a Subsidiary of Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided that Company shall not request that Issuing Lender issue:

 (i) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments
would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect; 
 (ii) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $5,000,000; 
 (iii) any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date
later than the earlier of (a) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (b) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; provided that the immediately preceding
clause (b) shall not prevent Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such
additional period; and provided, further that Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Standby Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived in accordance
with subsection 10.6) at the time Issuing Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension; 
  

 53 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (iv) any Standby Letter of Credit issued for the purpose of supporting (a) trade
payables or (b) any Indebtedness constituting “antecedent debt” (as that term is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code); 
 (v) any Commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration date (a) later than the earlier of (1) the date which is 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which
is 180 days from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (b) that is otherwise unacceptable to Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion; or 
 (vi) any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars. 
 All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Restatement Date shall be subject to and
governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
 B. Mechanics of Issuance. 
 (i) Request for Issuance. Whenever Company desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a
Request for Issuance no later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) at least three Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Issuing
Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any documents described in or attached to the Request for Issuance. In furtherance of the provisions of subsection 10.8, and not in limitation
thereof, Company may submit Requests for Issuance by telefacsimile and Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender may rely and act upon any such Request for Issuance without receiving an original signed copy thereof. No Letter of Credit shall require
payment against a conforming demand for payment to be made thereunder on the same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of Issuing Lender to which such demand for payment is required to be presented is located) on
which such demand for payment is presented if such presentation is made after 10:00 A.M. (in the time zone of such office of Issuing Lender) on such business day. 
 (ii) Issuance of Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in
subsection 4.3, Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures. 
 (iii) Notification to Revolving Lenders. Upon the issuance of or amendment to any Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Company of such issuance or amendment in writing
and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is Issuing Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender in
writing of such issuance or 

  

 54 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
amendment and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit or amendment, and, if so requested by a Revolving
Lender, Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 C. Revolving Lenders’
Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in
such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount that is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. 
  

	 	3.2	Letter of Credit Fees 

 Company agrees to
pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder: 
 (i) with respect to each Letter of Credit,
(a) a fronting fee, payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent
for the account of Revolving Lenders, equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin for Revolving Loans plus, upon the application of increased rates of interest pursuant to subsection 2.2E, 2% per annum, multiplied by the daily
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each calendar year,
commencing on March 31, 2008, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, in each case computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed; 
 (ii) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without
duplication of the fees payable under clause (i) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time
of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be. 
 For purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this
subsection 3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business on any date of determination. 
  

	 	3.3	Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit 

 A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Lender shall be responsible only
to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. 
  

 55 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 B. Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event
Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately
following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender prior to 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse Issuing Lender for the
amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on
the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such payment and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 4.2B, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving
Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; and provided, further that if for any
reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess
of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B. 

C. Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Payment by Revolving Lenders. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Lender as provided in
subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the amount of any payment by Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of
such Revolving Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Lender (other than Issuing Lender) shall make available to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its respective
participation, in Dollars, in same day funds, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 12:00 Noon (San Francisco time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall make available
to Issuing Lender in Dollars, in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Lender on such Business Day the aggregate amount of the payments so received by Administrative Agent. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to
Administrative Agent on such Business Day the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving
Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base 

  

 56 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of Administrative Agent to recover, for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, from
Issuing Lender any amounts made available to Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by Issuing
Lender in respect of which payments were made by Revolving Lenders constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender. 
 (ii) Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company. In the event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of
any payment by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, and Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender thereafter receives any payments from Company in reimbursement of such payment under the Letter of Credit, to the extent any such payment
is received by Issuing Lender, it shall distribute such payment to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such
payment such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Administrative Agent or by Issuing Lender from Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in subsection
2.4B(iii). 
 D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Payment of Interest by Company. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, with respect to payments under any Letters of
Credit issued by Issuing Lender, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company (including any such reimbursement out of
the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this Agreement with respect to
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest payable
pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made,
on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. 
 (ii) Distribution of Interest
Payments by Administrative Agent. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a payment under a Letter of Credit, (a) Administrative Agent shall distribute to
(x) each Revolving Lender (including Issuing Lender) out of the interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the
amount of such payment (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would
have been payable 

  

 57 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit, and
(y) Issuing Lender the amount, if any, remaining after payment of the amounts applied pursuant to clause (x), and (b) in the event Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all
or any portion of such payment, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender (including Issuing Lender) that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such Revolving Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of any interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of that portion of such payment so made by Revolving Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Lender was so reimbursed to but excluding the date on which such
portion of such payment is reimbursed by Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in subsection 2.4B(iii). 
  

	 	3.4	Obligations Absolute 

 The obligation of
Company to reimburse Issuing Lender for payments under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3B and the obligations of Revolving Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall
be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); 
 (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (iv) payment by Issuing Lender under any Letter
of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
 (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (vi) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; 
  

 58 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing; or 
 (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; 
 provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 
  

	 	3.5	Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties 

 As
between Company and Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such
Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or
assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply
fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be

(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Lender, including any act or
omission by a Government Authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. 
 In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Lender under or in connection with the

Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such
Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be
enforceable by either Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
Collateral Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require. 
 Should any instrument in writing from Company or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative
Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon
request by Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to
the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent. 
 C. Control. Each Lender and Administrative Agent hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets that, in accordance with the UCC, can be perfected by
possession or control.

	 	9.2	Powers and Duties; General Immunity 

 A.
Powers; Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically
delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are
expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or Company; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. 
 B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other
documents furnished or made by such Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company to such Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of
Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall such Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any
of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof. 
 C. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or
omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. An Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action
(including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have
received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the
case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions; provided that no Agent shall be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. Without prejudice to the generality of the 

  

 95 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in
relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against an
Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give
such instructions under subsection 10.6). 
 D. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or
affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, an Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, an Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. An Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking,
investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection with
this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 
  

	 	9.3	Independent Investigation by Lenders; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness 

 Each Lender agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in
connection with the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders. 
  

	 	9.4	Right to Indemnity 

 Each Lender, in
proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and Affiliates to the extent that any such Person shall not have been reimbursed by Company,
for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any financial advisor engaged by Agents) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent or such other Person in exercising 

  

 96 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
the powers, rights and remedies of an Agent or performing duties of an Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of an Agent resulting solely from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to an Agent or any other such
Person for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

  

	 	9.5	Resignation of Agents; Successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender 

 A. Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders
and Company. Upon any such notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders and Company that no Person has accepted such appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with Administrative
Agent’s notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that any Collateral held by Administrative Agent will continue to be held by it until a Person
shall have accepted the appointment of successor Administrative Agent, and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender
directly, until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.5A. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that
successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged as set forth above). After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. 
 B. Successor Swing Line Lender. Any resignation of Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection 9.5A shall also constitute the resignation of Wells Fargo or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (i) Company shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such prepayment, the
retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, and (iii) if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender in accordance with subsection
2.1E, 

  

 97 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
Company shall issue a Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit VI annexed
hereto, in the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment then in effect and with other appropriate insertions. 
  

	 	9.6	Collateral Documents and Subsidiary Guaranty 

 Each Lender (which term shall include, for purposes of this subsection 9.6, any Swap Counterparty) hereby further authorizes (and, with respect to actions taken prior to the Restatement Date, ratifies the actions taken by) Administrative
Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document as secured party and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the Subsidiary Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each
Collateral Document and the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that Administrative Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document
or the Subsidiary Guaranty or (ii) release any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case without the prior consent of Requisite
Lenders (or, if required pursuant to subsection 10.6, all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or
instruments necessary to (a) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, (b) release
any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty if all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which
Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (c) subordinate the Liens of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to any Liens permitted by subsection 7.2A (except for Liens permitted by clause (iv) thereof); provided
that, in the case of a sale of such item of Collateral or stock referred to in subdivision (a) or (b), the requirements of subsection 10.14 are satisfied. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
Company, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce the Subsidiary Guaranty, it being understood and
agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and the
Subsidiary Guaranty, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any
such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the
purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral
payable by Administrative Agent at such sale. 
 Without derogating from any other authority granted to Administrative Agent herein or in
the Collateral Documents or any other document relating thereto, each Lender hereby specifically (i) authorizes Administrative Agent to enter into pledge agreements, security 

  

 98 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
agreements or any other agreements or instruments pursuant to this subsection 9.6 with respect to the Capital Stock of any existing and future Foreign
Subsidiaries, which agreements or instruments may be governed by the laws of each of the jurisdictions of formation of such Foreign Subsidiaries, as agent on behalf of each Lender, with the effect that Lenders each become a secured party thereunder
and (ii) appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact granting it the powers to execute each such agreement or instrument and any registrations of the security interest thereby created, in each case in its name and on its behalf, with
the effect that each Lender becomes a secured party thereunder. With respect to each such pledge agreement, Administrative Agent has the power to sub-delegate to third parties its powers as attorney-in-fact of each Lender. 
  

	 	9.7	Duties of Other Agents 

 To the extent that
any Lender is identified in this Agreement as a co-agent, documentation agent or syndication agent, such Lender shall not 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. 
  

	 	9.8	Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim 

 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Company, Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Company) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agents (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agents and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agents under subsections 2.3 and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agents under subsections 2.3 and 10.2. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, 

  

 99 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the
claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
 Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	10.1	Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit 

 A. General. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1). Neither Company’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any
interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Company without such consent shall be null and void). No sale, assignment or transfer or
participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lender
effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 10.5, the Swing Line Loan Commitment and the Swing Line Loans of Swing
Line Lender may not be sold, assigned or transferred as described below to any Person other than a successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by subsection 9.5. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders and
Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 B. Assignments. 
 (i) Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement; provided that (a), except (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or (2) in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Exposure of the assigning Lender and the assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $5,000,000
(aggregating concurrent assignments to two or more Affiliated Funds for purposes of determining such minimum amount), unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (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 with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, and any assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit participation shall be made only as an assignment of the same
proportionate part of the 

  

 100 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
assigning Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit participations, (c) the parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the assignor, in which case no fee shall be required); provided
that only one such fee shall be required in connection with concurrent assignments to two or more Affiliated Funds, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent, including such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iv) and (d), except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, Administrative Agent and, if no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Company, shall have consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 
 Upon
such execution, delivery and consent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement
covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, if such Lender is Issuing Lender such Lender shall continue to act as Issuing Lender until it resigns or is removed as provided in Subsection 10.21). The assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as
promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the assignee and/or the assigning Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, be issued to
the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit V annexed hereto, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the amounts of the new Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans of the assignee and/or the
assigning Lender. Other than as provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 10.5, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.1B 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 subsection 10.1C. 
 (ii) Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing
and recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may 

  

 101 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iv), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent and Company have
consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance
shall evidence any required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Company. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of
each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii). 
 (iii) Deemed Consent
by Company. If the consent of Company to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in subsection 10.1B(i)), Company shall
be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Company prior to such fifth Business Day.

 C. Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Company or Administrative Agent, sell participations to
one or more Persons (other than a natural Person or Company or any of its Affiliates) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Company, Administrative Agent and 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 directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable
on any Loan allocated to such participation. Subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1C, Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1B. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to subsection 10.5 as though it were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Company’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7 unless Company is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with subsection 2.7B(iv) as though it were a Lender. 
 D. Pledges and Assignments. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such 

  

 102 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
Lender, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
(i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment or pledge and (ii) in no event shall any assignee or pledgee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the
assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 E. Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning
Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.19. 
 F. Agreements of Lenders. Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof hereby agrees, and each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to
an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree, (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of or purchasing loans such as the
Loans; and (iii) that it will make or purchase Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal
securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Government Authority, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranty)), (ii) the statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with respect thereto, or (iii) any
Environmental Claim or any Hazardous Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. 
  

	 	10.4	Set-Off 

 In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default each of Lenders and their Affiliates is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from
time to time, without notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including
Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or for the credit or the
account of Company and each other Loan Party against and on account of the Obligations of Company or any other Loan Party to that Lender (or any Affiliate of that Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this
Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any
other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due
hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 
  

	 	10.5	Ratable Sharing 

 Lenders hereby agree among
themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a payment or prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any
right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive
payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively,
the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater
payment shall, unless such proportionately greater payment is required by the terms of this Agreement, (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to
purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of 

  

 105 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
such payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in
proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that (A) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization
of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the foregoing
provisions shall not apply to (1) any payment made by Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment (other than an assignment
pursuant to this subsection 10.5) of or the sale of a participation in any of its Obligations to any Eligible Assignee or Participant pursuant to subsection 10.1B or 10.1C. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
purchaser of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment. In order to further evidence
such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing
Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender. 
  

	 	10.6	Amendments and Waivers 

 Subject to
subsection 2.10, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes, and no consent to any departure by Company therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite
Lenders; provided that no such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of: 
 (a)
each Lender with Obligations directly affected (whose consent shall be sufficient for any such amendment, modification, termination or waiver without the consent of Requisite Lenders) (1) reduce the principal amount of any Loan,
(2) postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled payment (but not prepayment) of principal of any Loan, (3) postpone the date on which any interest or any fees are payable, (4) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan
(other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or the amount of any fees payable hereunder (other than any waiver of any increase in the fees applicable to Letters of Credit
pursuant to subsection 3.2 following an Event of Default) including any change in the manner in which any financial ratio used in determining any interest rate or fee is calculated that would result in a reduction of any such rate or fee,
(5) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of any amount payable in respect of any Letter of Credit, (6) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, (7) extend the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or (8) change in any manner the obligations of Revolving Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit; 
  

 106 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 (b) each Lender, (1) change in any manner the definition of “Pro Rata
Share”, the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (except for any changes resulting solely from an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments approved by Requisite Lenders) or the provisions of subsection 2.4A(ii), 2.4A(iv)(b) or
2.4B(iii) in any manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, (2) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or
concurrence of all Lenders, (3) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder, (4) release any Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all
or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or (5) change in any manner or waive the provisions contained in
subsection 2.4C, subsection 8.1, subsection 10.5 or this subsection 10.6. 
 In addition, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver
of any provision (i) of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of that Note, (ii) of subsection 2.1A(ii) or of any other provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Loan
Commitment or the Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written concurrence of Swing Line Lender, (iii) of Section 3 shall be effective without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent and, with respect to the purchase of
participations in Letters of Credit, without the written concurrence of Issuing Lender, (iv) of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative
Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent, and (v) that increases the amount of a Commitment of a Lender shall be effective without the consent of such Lender. 
 Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on
behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Company in any case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by
Company, on Company. 
  

	 	10.7	Independence of Covenants 

 All covenants
hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would not result in a default under subsection 7.6 shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 
  

 107 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

	 	10.8	Notices; Effectiveness of Signatures 

 Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service
and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt during normal business hours on a Business Day of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the
United States mail (certified or registered if any such notice relates to non-compliance with the terms hereof) with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender
shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Administrative Agent, such other address
as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent.

 Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by telefacsimile. The effectiveness of any such
documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent may also require
that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile document
or signature. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company agrees that Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by Company to
Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other materials or matters relating to the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby that Administrative Agent is required or authorized pursuant to the terms hereof or of any Loan Document to provide to Lenders (collectively, the “Communications”) available
to Lenders by posting such notices on a Platform. Company acknowledges that (a) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution, (b) a Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (c) neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the
Communications posted on a Platform. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to a Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems
accessing the Communications posted on such Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with such Platform. 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with any
Platform. 
 Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that any Communication has been posted to a
Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement 

  

 108 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (1) to
notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that Administrative Agent has
on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (2) that any notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
  

	 	10.9	Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements 

 A. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.

 B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in
subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.17 and 10.18 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4, 10.5 and 10.18 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the
reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this Agreement. 
  

	 	10.10	Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative 

 No failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a
waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 
  

	 	10.11	Marshalling; Payments Set Aside 

 Neither
any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative
Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Agents or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable
cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
  

	 	10.12	Severability 

 In case any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  

 109 

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

	 	10.13	Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights; Damage Waiver 

 The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder.
Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders, or Lenders and Company, as a partnership, an association, a Joint Venture or any other kind of
entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to subsection 9.6, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it
shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 To the extent
permitted by law, Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of this Agreement (including subsection 2.1C hereof), any other Loan Document, any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby. 
  

	 	10.14	Release of Security Interest or Subsidiary Guaranty 

 Upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, or the sale or other disposition of
all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, for which a Loan Party desires to obtain a security
interest release or a release of the Subsidiary Guaranty from Administrative Agent, such Loan Party shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or
otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and (ii) specifying the Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Administrative
Agent shall, at such Loan Party’s expense, so long as Administrative Agent (a) has no reason to believe that the facts stated in such Officer’s Certificate are not true and correct and (b), if the sale or other disposition of such
item of Collateral or Capital Stock constitutes an Asset Sale, shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that arrangements satisfactory to it have been made for delivery of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds if and as required by subsection 2.4,
execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral or such Subsidiary Guaranty, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party.

 EACH OF THE
PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the
subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business
relationship, that each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed

THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

 Each Lender shall hold all
non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement that has been identified in writing as confidential by Company in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this
nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that in any event a Lender may make disclosures (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it

 112 

 EXECUTION VERSION

information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this subsection 10.19 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Company or
(i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in

Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates may place

and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are
physically attached to the same document. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
resignation to be effective on the date that is the later of (i) the thirtieth day following delivery of such written notice to Administrative Agent and
Company and (ii) the appointment of and acceptance by a successor Issuing Lender, as provided below; provided, however, that to the extent Administrative Agent fails to appoint a successor Issuing Lender that accepts such appointment
within such time, Issuing Lender may appoint a Revolving Lender as successor Issuing Lender. Unless Issuing Lender is Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in
writing delivered to Company and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders, such removal to become effective immediately upon the appointment of and acceptance by a successor Issuing Lender, as provided below. Upon any such notice of
resignation or removal, Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Company, to appoint a successor Issuing Lender. Any appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, whether by Administrative Agent or Issuing
Lender, shall be subject to consent of Company and Administrative Agent, which, in either case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Lender, and
consent of Company and Administrative Agent, that successor Issuing Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Issuing Lender and the retiring or removed Issuing
Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that, anything contained in this subsection 10.21 or otherwise in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the resigning or removed
Issuing Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of Issuing Lender, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued prior to the effective date of the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender until the cancellation or expiration of such
Letter of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder.
