Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender. 
  
 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders, the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders agree that the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrowers and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, subject to
the procedures for settlement set forth in subsection 2.02(d); provided, however, that (a) the Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the
Collateral Agent or the Required Revolving Loan Lenders on the Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.02 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed
Revolving Loan, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 6.02 have been satisfied. If either (x) the Administrative Borrower gives a Notice of
Borrowing requesting a Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or (y) the Administrative Agent elects not to fund a requested Revolving Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the
Notice of Borrowing requesting such Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the specifics of the requested Revolving Loan and that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving
Loan Lenders. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Loan Lenders that it will not fund a requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan
available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, in the Administrative 

  

 - 41 - 

 
Agent’s Account no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Revolving Loan Lender
not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) (1) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan in the case of a Reference Rate Loan and (2) one day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Loan, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative
Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrowers on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the
Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s Account or the amount funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Administrative Borrower. 
  
 (iii) If the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving
Loan Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, will not fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to subsection 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made
such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrowers on such day. If the
Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrowers and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for
three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure, the Borrowers shall,
upon demand by the Administrative Agent, repay such amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. 
  
 (iv) Nothing in this subsection 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Credit
Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Agents or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
  
 (d) (i) With respect to each Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, on the first and the last date of
each Interest Period, and with respect to all periods for which the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, has funded Revolving Loans that are Reference Rate Loans pursuant to subsection 2.02(c), on Friday of each week, or if the applicable
Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may from time to time select (any such Interest Period, week or shorter period being herein called a “Settlement
Period”), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid
principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount  

  

 - 42 - 

 
of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Revolving Loan Lender’s initial funding), each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly (and in any event
not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day) make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the difference
in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Loan Lender its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available
funds. In addition, if the Administrative Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a result of which the Administrative Agent shall
determine that it is desirable to present claims against the Borrowers for repayment, each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly remit to the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Revolving
Loan Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Revolving Loan Lenders in the then outstanding Revolving Loans to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each such Revolving Loan Lender’s interest in the then
outstanding Revolving Loans will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender under this subsection 2.02(d) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall
only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans which have been funded by such Revolving Loan Lender. 
  
 (ii) In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to subsection 2.02(d)(i),
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own
account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, repay such amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this subsection
2.02(d)(ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Revolving Loan
Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding principal of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) The outstanding principal of the Term Loan A shall be
repayable in consecutive monthly installments, on the last day of each calendar month, commencing on January 31, 2006 and ending on the Maturity Date, consisting of (i) forty-seven (47) installments, each in an amount equal to $875,000 and (ii) one
(1) installment on the Maturity Date, in an amount equal to $63,875,000; provided, however, that the last such installment shall be in the amount necessary to repay in full the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan A. 
  

 - 43 - 

 (c) The outstanding principal of the Term Loan B shall be due and payable in full on the
Maturity Date. 
  
 (d) Each Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder. 
  
 (e) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder
and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
  
 (f) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Collateral Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon
shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee
and its registered assigns).

 Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans. 
  
 (a) Reduction of Commitments. 
  
 (i) (A) The Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date. The Borrowers may, subject to the payment of the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if

 (B) The Total Term Loan A Commitment and the Total Term Loan B Commitment shall each
terminate after the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B have been made to the Borrowers, which shall not be later than the close of business on the Effective Date. 
  

(ii) Each such voluntary reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i)(A) shall be in an amount
which is an integral multiple of $2,500,000 (unless the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $2,500,000), shall be made by providing not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall reduce the applicable
Commitment of each Revolving Loan Lender holding such commitment proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. 
  
 (b) Optional Prepayment. 
  
 (i) Revolving Loans. The Borrowers may, at any time, prepay without penalty or premium the principal of any Revolving Loan, in
whole or in part. Each voluntary prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(i) made in connection with a reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to clause (a)(i) above shall be accompanied by the payment of the Applicable
Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. 
  
 (ii) Term Loans. (A) The Borrowers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan A or the Term Loan B, in whole or in part; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, except in connection with the repayment in full of all of the Obligations, the
Borrowers may not voluntarily prepay all or any portion of (A) the Term Loan A if immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, Excess Availability would be less than $30,000,000 and (B) the Term Loan B if (x) immediately after giving effect
to such prepayment, Excess Availability would be less than $30,000,000, (y) immediately before or immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or (z) after giving effect to any
payment of the Term Loan A made at the time of such prepayment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A is in excess of $80,000,000. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of
(1) accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and (2) the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such prepayment of the Term Loan A or Term Loan B, as applicable. Each prepayment of the Term Loan A
made pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loan A in the inverse order of maturity. 
  

(iii) Prepayment In Full. The Borrowers may, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice by the Administrative
Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, terminate this Agreement by paying to the Administrative Agent, in cash, the Obligations (including either (A) providing cash collateral to be held by the Administrative Agent in an
amount equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all 

  

 - 46 - 

 
outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations or (B) causing the original Letter of Credit Accommodations to be returned to the Administrative Agent), in full,
together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any. If the Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to this clause (iii), then the Lenders’ obligations to extend credit hereunder shall terminate and the Borrowers
shall be obligated to repay the Obligations (including either (A) providing cash collateral to be held by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations or (B)
causing the original Letter of Credit Accommodations to be returned to the Administrative Agent), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice.

  
 (c) Mandatory Prepayment. 

 
 (i) (A) The Borrowers will, at any time, immediately
prepay the Revolving Loans when the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Availability (such excess amount, an “Overadvance”), to the full
extent of such excess; provided that if the Overadvance exists solely as result of the Administrative Agent imposing a reserve against the Borrowing Base or the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall have three days from the date of
such Overadvance to repay the Revolving Loans to the full extent of such excess. On each day that any Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding, the Borrowers shall hereby be deemed to represent and warrant to the Agents and
the Lenders that the Borrowing Base calculated as of such day equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding on such day. 
  
 (B) If at any time after the Borrowers have complied with
the first sentence of paragraph (A) of this Section 2.05(c)(i), the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations is greater than the then current Availability, the Borrowers shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to
105% of such excess, which cash collateral shall be deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, returned to the Borrowers, at such time as the aggregate
Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans no longer exceeds the then current Availability.

outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 75% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year (an “Excess Cash Flow Payment”), provided that, if (x) the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of such Fiscal Year is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 (as demonstrated in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(iv) with
respect to such Fiscal Year), and (y) the Borrowers have made at least one Excess Cash Flow Payment in an amount equal to 75% of  

  

 - 47 - 

 
the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for any prior Fiscal Year, the Borrowers shall only be obligated to prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year. Any payments required to be made under this subsection (ii) shall be applied (A) in the absence of a continuing Event of
Default, as provided for in Section 2.05(d) and (B) during the existence of an Event of Default, in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

2.05(c)(iii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b). 
  
 (iv) The Administrative Agent shall on each Business Day apply all funds transferred to or deposited in the Administrative Agent’s Account, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Loans; provided, that, such funds shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A and/or the Term Loan B (A) in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, to the extent such application is
specifically provided for in Section 2.05(d), and (B) during the existence of an Event of Default, in accordance with Section 5.04(b). 
  
 (v) Subject to the provisions of clause (viii) below, no later than the third Business Day after any such Net Cash Proceeds are received,
upon any Disposition by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% (or 50% in the case of a Disposition of the Mica Business) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection
with such Disposition, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds together with the aggregate amount of all Net Cash Proceeds received in such Fiscal Year in connection with all other Dispositions and the aggregate amount of all Extraordinary Receipts,
net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts, consisting of insurance proceeds and condemnation awards received in such Fiscal Year exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. Nothing contained in this subsection (v) shall
permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 8.02(c). Any payments required to be made under this subsection (v) shall be applied (A) in the absence of a continuing
Event of Default, as provided for in Section 2.05(d) and (B) during the existence of an Event of Default, in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith); provided, that in the case of this clause (B), (I) except in connection with a Warrant Issuance, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries for the period of four (4) consecutive fiscal 

  

 - 48 - 

 
quarters ended immediately prior to such sale or issuance for which there are available financial statements is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 (as demonstrated in
the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(iv) with respect to the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such date), the Borrowers shall only be obligated to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of
the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such sale or issuance, and (II) no prepayment shall be due with respect to proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock by the Parent in connection with the Senior Secured Notes

subsection (vi) shall be applied (x) in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, as provided for in Section 2.05(d) and (y) during the existence of an Event of Default, in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

Default, as provided for in Section 2.05(d) and (B) during the existence of an Event of Default, in accordance with Section 5.04(b). 
  
 (viii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrowers are required to prepay in connection with a
Disposition under Section 2.05(c)(v) or with respect to Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts, that the Borrowers are required to prepay in connection with the receipt of
Extraordinary Receipts pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(vii), up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition and such Extraordinary Receipts, as the case may be, received by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in
connection therewith shall not be required to be applied to the prepayment of the Loans on such date to the extent such proceeds are reinvested in or otherwise used to replace, repair or restore the properties or assets used in such Loan

the case may be, 

  

 - 49 - 

 
stating that such proceeds shall be used to reinvest in, or otherwise replace, repair or restore any such properties or assets to be used in such Loan
Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business within a period specified in such certificate not to exceed 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds (which certificate shall set forth estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) and (z)
such proceeds are deposited in an account subject to the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent; and if all or any portion of such proceeds not so applied to the prepayment of the Loans are not used in accordance with the preceding
sentence within the period specified in the relevant certificate furnished pursuant hereto or there shall occur a Default or Event of Default, such remaining portion shall be applied to the Loans as required by Section 2.05(c)(v) or Section
2.05(c)(vii), as applicable, on the last day of such specified period or immediately, in the case of a Default or Event of Default. If the Borrowers are not permitted to reinvest or utilize such Net Cash Proceeds or such Extraordinary Receipts in

solely to the Revolving Loans until paid in full. 
  
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (x) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, prepayments required under Section 2.05(c) shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(b), unless the Administrative Agent has not elected to, or has
not been directed to, apply payments and other Proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 5.04(b) and no acceleration of the Loans has occurred, in which case prepayments required under Section 2.05(c) shall be applied in the manner set forth
in this Section 2.05(d), and (y) after the application of proceeds to the Term Loan A as set forth in this Section, except in connection with the repayment in full of all of the Obligations, the Borrowers may not prepay all or any portion of the
Term Loan B if immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, Excess Availability would be less than $20,000,000, such remaining proceeds shall be applied to the Revolving Loans, provided, that, (1) concurrently with the application of
proceeds to the Revolving Loans in accordance with clause (y) above, the Administrative Agent shall establish and maintain a corresponding reserve against the Availability in an amount equal to the amount that would have otherwise been applied to

paragraphs (c)(i) and (c)(iv) of this Section 2.05) shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, (ii) if such prepayment would reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving
Loans, the Term Loan A or the Term Loan B to zero (in the case of the Revolving Loans, at a time when the Total Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated), such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of (A) all fees accrued on the
Loans that have been reduced to zero to such date pursuant to Section 2.06 and (B) all costs and expenses payable pursuant to the terms of Section 13.04 of this Agreement by the Borrowers to the Lender that held the Loans that have been reduced to
zero for which an invoice has been presented to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iii) in the case of any prepayment made pursuant to Sections 2.05(a)(i), 2.05(b)(ii), 2.05(c)(iii), 2.05(c)(v) (subject to the immediately
following sentence) or 2.05(c)(vi), the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any. Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary, any prepayment of the Term Loan A up to $26,250,000 in the aggregate and of the Term Loan B up to $37,500,000 in the aggregate and
any reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in an aggregate amount up to $13,750,000, in each case, made pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(v), shall not require the payment of the Applicable Prepayment Premium. Each prepayment of the Term Loan
A made pursuant to Sections 2.05(c) and 2.05(d) shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan A in the inverse order of maturity. 
  
 (f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments
with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.

 Section 2.07 Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as
collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests may be
rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without
limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional
documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Loan Parties and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Loan Parties under
the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the
Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in
the Securitization (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which 

  

 - 52 - 

 
the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lenders in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall
survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lenders and their Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the
Liabilities. 
  
 Section 2.08 Taxes. (a) Any and all
payments by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on (or measured by) the net income of any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a
“Transferee”)) by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction in which such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer is organized or has its principal lending office or (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States
of America (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder to any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer (or any Transferee), (A) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Loan Party shall
make such deductions and (C) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or
future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the
Letter of Credit Accommodations or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”). Each Loan Party shall deliver to each Lender, each Agent and the L/C Issuer official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder
promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. 
  
 (c) The Loan Parties hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and agree to hold each Lender, each Agent and the L/C Issuer harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any
amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or such Transferee), whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the
date on which any such Lender, any such Agent or the L/C Issuer makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes. 
  

 - 53 - 

 (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other
than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Agents two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a
Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code,
is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal
Revenue Code)), in each case claiming complete exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office
by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Administrative Borrower or any Agent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver after the date hereof any form pursuant to this Section 2.08 that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
  
 (e) The Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any
Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal
withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to
payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional
amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment,
participation or transfer to such Transferee, or such Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, (ii) the
obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) above or (iii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts does not result from a change in
applicable tax law (including, without limitation, applicable judicial decisions, statutes, regulations or other administrative interpretations) occurring after the date hereof. 
  
 (f) Any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional
payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Borrower or change the jurisdiction of its applicable
lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of 

  

 - 54 - 

 
any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue, would not require such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) to
disclose any information such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender,
such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee). 
  
 (g) If any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer (or a Transferee) shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which any Loan Party has paid
additional amounts, pursuant to this Section 2.08, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Administrative Borrower, make a claim to
such Governmental Authority for such refund at the Loan Parties’ expense. If any Lender, any Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee) receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect
of any Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Administrative Borrower, net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, such Agent or the L/C Issuer (or Transferee). 
  
 (h) The obligations of the Loan Parties and Lenders under this Section 2.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.09 LIBOR Not Determinable; Illegality or Impropriety. (a) In the event, and on each occasion, that on or before the day on which LIBOR is to be determined for a borrowing that is to include LIBOR Rate Loans, the
Administrative Agent has determined in good faith that, or has been advised by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders that, (i) LIBOR cannot be reasonably determined for any reason, (ii) LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of
maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or (iii) Dollar deposits in the principal amount of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans are not available in the interbank eurodollar market where the eurodollar and foreign currency and exchange operations in respect of the
Lenders’ LIBOR Rate Loans are then being conducted, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Administrative Borrower and the other Lenders. In the event of any such
determination, any request by the Administrative Borrower for a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 shall, until, (i) in the case of such a determination by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent has been advised
by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent has so advised the Administrative Borrower that, or (ii) in the case of a determination by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent has advised the Administrative
Borrower and the other Lenders that, the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, be deemed to be a request for a Reference Rate Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or the Required Lenders
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) In the event that it shall be unlawful or improper for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan as contemplated by this Agreement, then such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative 

  

 - 55 - 

 
Borrower describing such illegality or impropriety in reasonable detail. Effective immediately upon the giving of such notice, the obligation of such Lender
to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impropriety and, if and when such illegality or impropriety ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease, and such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and
the Administrative Borrower. If any such change shall make it unlawful or improper for any Lender to maintain any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Administrative Agent
and the Administrative Borrower, and the Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, rule, regulation, order, decree, interpretation, request or directive, at the end of the then current Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan,
convert each such LIBOR Rate Loan into a Reference Rate Loan. 
  
 Section 2.10 Indemnity. (a) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender actually sustains or incurs (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, and including loss of anticipated profits) as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Loan Parties to fulfill on
the date of any borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, (ii) any failure by the Borrowers to borrow any LIBOR Rate Loan hereunder, to convert any Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan or to continue a LIBOR Rate
Loan as such after notice of such borrowing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.11 hereof, (iii) any payment, prepayment (mandatory or optional) or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan required by any provision of
this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon,
as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, by notice of prepayment or otherwise), or (v) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss (including, without limitation, loss of anticipated profits) or
reasonable expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR Rate Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include but not be limited to
an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid or prepaid or converted or continued or not borrowed or converted or continued (based on LIBOR applicable
thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, continuation or failure to borrow, convert or continue on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender
in re-employing the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or continued or not borrowed, converted or continued for such Interest Period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 and the basis for the determination of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10, the
Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to minimize or reduce any such loss or expense 

  

 - 56 - 

 
resulting from the mandatory prepayments required by Section 2.05(c) of this Agreement by applying all payments and prepayments to Reference Rate Loans prior
to any application of payments to LIBOR Rate Loans, provided that nothing in this Section 2.10(b) shall affect the order of application of payments as set forth in Section 2.05(d) or Section 5.04(b), as applicable. 
  
 Section 2.11 Continuation and Conversion of Loans. Subject to Section
2.09 hereof, the Borrowers shall have the right, at any time, on two (2) Business Days prior irrevocable written notice by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, to continue any LIBOR Rate Loan, or any portion thereof, into a
subsequent Interest Period or to convert any Reference Rate Loan or portion thereof into a LIBOR Rate Loan, or on one (1) Business Day prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, to convert any LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof
into a Reference Rate Loan, subject to the following: 
  
 (a) no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such and no Reference Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan, when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, 
  
 (b) in the case of a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as
such or a conversion of a Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan, the aggregate principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan shall not be less than $1,000,000 and in multiples of $500,000 if in excess thereof; 
  
 (c) any portion of a Loan maturing or required to be repaid
in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan; and 
  
 (d) if any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be effected on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period, the Borrowers shall
reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released by such conversion as provided in Section 2.10 hereof. 
  
 In the event that the Administrative Borrower shall not give notice to continue any LIBOR
Rate Loan into a subsequent Interest Period, such Loan shall automatically become a Reference Rate Loan at the expiration of the then current Interest Period. 
  

ARTICLE III 
  
 LETTER OF CREDIT ACCOMMODATIONS 
  
 Section 3.01 Letter of Credit Guaranty. 
  
 (a) In order to assist the Borrowers in establishing or opening letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit
Accommodation”), which shall not have expiration dates later than the date that is five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Required Lenders), with the L/C
Issuer, the Borrowers have requested the Administrative Agent to join in the applications for such Letter of Credit Accommodations and/or guarantee payment or performance of such Letter of Credit Accommodations and any drafts thereunder through the
issuance of a Letter of Credit Guaranty, thereby lending the Administrative Agent’s credit to that of the Borrowers, and the Administrative 

  

 - 57 - 

 
Agent has agreed to do so. These arrangements shall be coordinated by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to be the issuer of any Letter of Credit Accommodation. The Administrative Borrower will be the account party for the application of each Letter of Credit Accommodation, which shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer or on a computer transmission system approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, or such other written form or computer transmission system as may from time to time be approved
by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, and shall be duly completed in a manner and at a time reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with such other certificates, agreements, documents and other papers and information as
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may reasonably request, which shall include, without limitation, the requested date of issuance and the name and address of the beneficiary (the “Letter of Credit Application”). In the
event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
  
 (b) The aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the lower of (i) the difference
between (A) the Availability and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (ii) the L/C Subfacility. In addition, the terms and conditions of all Letter of Credit Accommodations and all changes or modifications
thereof by the Borrowers and/or the L/C Issuer shall in all respects be subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion; provided, however, that (i) the expiry date of all Letter of Credit
Accommodations shall be no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Required Lenders), (ii) no more than thirty (30) Letters of Credit Accommodations
may be outstanding at any time, and (iii) the Letter of Credit Accommodations and all documentation connection therewith shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer. 
  
 (c) If the Administrative Agent is obligated to advance
funds under a Letter of Credit Guaranty or in connection with a Letter of Credit Accommodation, the Administrative Agent may immediately reimburse such disbursement by charging the Loan Account as set forth below. In the event that the
Administrative Agent does not charge the Loan Account, the Borrowers shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, immediately reimburse such disbursement to the Administrative Agent by paying to it an amount equal to such disbursement not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date that such disbursement is made, if the Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephone notice of such disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received
prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of receipt. In the absence of such reimbursement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrowers, to charge the Loan Account with the amount of such disbursement
and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrowers, to charge the Loan Account with the amount of any and all other Indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of any kind (including indemnification for breakage costs,
capital adequacy and reserve requirement charges) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders under the Letter of Credit Guaranty or incurred by the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit 

  

 - 58 - 

 
Accommodation at the earlier of (i) payment by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders under the Letter of Credit Guaranty or (ii) the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. Any amount charged to the Loan Account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrowers, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan
Lenders and subject to Section 2.02. Any charges, fees, commissions, costs and expenses charged to the Administrative Agent for the Borrowers’ account by the L/C Issuer in connection with or arising out of Letter of Credit Accommodations or
transactions relating thereto will be charged to the Loan Account in full when charged to or paid by the Administrative Agent and, when charged, shall be conclusive on the Borrowers absent manifest error. Each of the Revolving Loan Lenders and each
Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 6.01(j) have
been satisfied. If any such reimbursement of disbursements made by the Administrative Agent is not made by the Administrative Agent by charging the Loan Account and the Administrative Borrower requests and the Borrowers are entitled to obtain a
Revolving Loan to reimburse such disbursements on the date such reimbursement is due, such reimbursement shall be made no later than the time that the Administrative Agent makes the proceeds of the Revolving Loan available to the Borrowers.

  
 (d) Each Loan Party understands that the
Letter of Credit Guaranties may require the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders to indemnify the L/C Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by any Borrower against such L/C Issuer. Each Loan Party unconditionally
indemnifies each Agent and each Lender and holds each Agent and each Lender harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by any Agent or any Lender arising from any transaction or occurrences relating to Letter of Credit
Accommodations, any drafts or acceptances thereunder, the Collateral relating thereof, and all Obligations in respect thereto, including any such loss or claim due to any action taken by the L/C Issuer, other than for any such loss, claim or
liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer, any Agent or any Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Loan Party further agrees to hold each Agent and each Lender
harmless from any errors of omission, negligence, or misconduct (but not gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) by the L/C Issuer. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the L/C Issuer’s
regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit Accommodation that is the subject of a Letter of Credit Guaranty and opened to or for any Borrower’s account or by the Administrative Agent’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit
Accommodation issued for any Borrower’s account, even though such interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the Lenders, the Agents and the L/C Issuer shall not be liable for
any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following each such Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit Accommodation or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Loan
Party’s unconditional obligations to each Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer with respect to Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder shall not be modified or diminished for any reason or in any manner whatsoever, other than as a result of
such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Loan Party agrees that any charges incurred by the Administrative
Agent or the L/C Issuer for such Loan Party’s account hereunder may be charged to the Loan Account. 
  

 - 59 - 

 (e) Upon any payments made to the L/C Issuer under the Letter of Credit Guaranty, the
Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as the case may be, shall, without prejudice to their rights under this Agreement (including that such unreimbursed amounts shall constitute Revolving Loans hereunder), acquire by subrogation, any
rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by any Borrower in favor of the L/C Issuer in any application for Letter of Credit Accommodations, any standing agreement relating to Letter of Credit Accommodations or otherwise, all of
which shall be deemed to have been granted to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders and apply in all respects to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or
obligations contained herein. 
  
 Section 3.02
Participations. 
  
 (a) Immediately upon
issuance by the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit Accommodation pursuant to this Agreement, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in all obligations of the Administrative Agent in such Letter of Credit Accommodation including, without limitation, all
Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto pursuant to the Letter of Credit Guaranty or otherwise. 
  
 (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent makes any payment in respect of the Letter of Credit Guaranty and the Borrowers shall not
have repaid such amounts to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall charge the Loan Account in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation, in accordance with Section 3.01(c) and Section 5.02 of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) The obligations of a Revolving Loan Lender to make
payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Lenders or the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit Accommodation shall be irrevocable, without any qualification or exception whatsoever
and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; 

 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other
right which any Borrower or any other Loan Party may have at any time against a beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit Accommodation or any transferee of such Letter of Credit Accommodation (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), any Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Accommodation, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between
any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other party and the beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit Accommodation); 
  

 - 60 - 

 (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit
Accommodation proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

  
 (v) any failure by any Agent to provide any
notices required pursuant to this Agreement relating to such Letter of Credit Accommodation; 
  
 (vi) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit Accommodation against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit Accommodation; or 
  
 (vii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 
  
 Section 3.03 Letter of Credit Accommodations. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers may, upon reasonable notice in advance of such issuance but, in any event, not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the issuance thereof, request the Administrative Agent to assist the Borrowers in establishing or opening a Letter of Credit Accommodation by delivering to the
Administrative Agent, with a copy to the L/C Issuer, a Letter of Credit Application, together with any necessary related documents. The Administrative Agent shall not provide support, pursuant to the Letter of Credit Guaranty, if the Administrative
Agent shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent or the Required Revolving Loan Lenders on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed issuance date for such Letter of Credit Accommodation that one or more of the conditions
precedent in Section 6.02 will not have been satisfied on such date, and the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.02 have been satisfied.

  
 (b) (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (A) for any Letter of Credit Accommodation issued hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to 3.50% per annum of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit Accommodation, payable monthly in arrears
after the date such Letter of Credit Accommodation is issued and (B) for any amendment to an existing Letter of Credit Accommodation that increases the stated amount of such Letter of Credit Accommodation, a non-refundable fee equal to 3.50% per
annum of the increase in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit Accommodation, payable monthly in arrears after the date of such increase (the “Letter of Credit Fees”); provided, that, the Administrative Agent may,
and upon the written direction of the Required Revolving Loan Lenders shall, require the Borrowers to pay the Administrative Agent such Letter of Credit Fee, at a rate equal to 2.0% plus the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereto on such daily
outstanding balance for the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent. 
  

 - 61 - 

 (ii) L/C Issuer Charges. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent any
and all customary charges assessed by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, administration, amendment, payment or cancellation of Letter of Credit Accommodations. 
  
 (c) Charges to the Loan Account. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the
Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and Section 5.02 of this Agreement with the amount of any Letter of Credit Accommodation fees or charges due under this Section 3.03. 
  
 (d) Existing Letters of Credit. Schedule 3.03(d)

 FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION 
  
 Section 5.01 Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees. Each Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to Section 8.01(f), representatives of the Agents
(accompanied by representatives of any Lender that wishes to participate) may visit any or all of the Loan Parties and/or conduct audits, inspections, valuations and/or field examinations of any or all of the Loan Parties at any time and from time
to time in a manner so as not to unduly disrupt the business of the Loan Parties. The Borrowers agrees to pay (a) $750 per day per examiner plus the examiner’s out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with all such
visits, audits, inspections, valuations and field examinations and (b) the out-of-pocket cost of all visits, audits, inspections, valuations and field examinations conducted by a third party on behalf of the Agents; provided, that, in the
absence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay for more than four field examinations in any 12 month period; provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Borrowers shall pay for all field examinations. Upon the request of the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Administrative Borrower with a reasonably detailed report of any expenses or costs referred to in this
Section 5.01, provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to charge the Loan Account prior to giving such invoice to the Administrative Borrower. 
  
 Section 5.02 Payments; Computations and Statements. (a) The Borrowers will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New
York City time) on the 

  

 - 62 - 

 
day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments
received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrowers without set-off, counterclaim,
deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02(c), after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the
Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the
Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for the account of the Borrowers not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt thereof. The Lenders and the Borrowers hereby authorize
the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers with any amount due and payable (and unpaid) by the Borrowers under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and each Borrower
agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 6.02 have been satisfied. Any
amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrowers shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrowers, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and subject to Section 2.02(c). The
Lenders and the Borrowers confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrowers and solely at the Administrative Agent’s
discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent, charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers with any amount due and payable (and unpaid) under any Loan Document. Whenever any
payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation
of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall provide the
Administrative Borrower, promptly after the end of each calendar month, an accounting (in the form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of the Loan Account of the Borrowers during such month, including the amount of any charges to the
Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, thirty (30) days after the same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent
manifest error. 
  
 Section 5.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
Except as provided in Section 2.02(c), if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its share of payments in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the 

  

 - 63 - 

 
other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment
with the other Lenders in accordance with and to the extent required by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such
purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a)
the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). Each Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 5.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 
  
 Section 5.04 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02(c): 
  
 (a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of the
Letter of Credit Obligations, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in Section 2.06 hereof and the Fee Letter, the Letter of Credit Fees provided for in Section 3.03(b) and the audit and collateral monitoring fee provided for in
Section 5.01) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided
herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made. 
  
 (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may,

agreement to make Loans, to issue Letter of Credit Accommodations or such Lender’s, such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each 

  

 - 67 -

consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the
undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and
several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 5.06), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all
of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the
Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 5.06 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers, enforceable against each such Person to the full
extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever. 
  
 (b) The provisions of this Section 5.06 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and their
successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or such successors or assigns first to
marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrowers 

  

 - 68 - 

 
or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any
of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 5.06 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. 
  
 (c) Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not
enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Agents or the Lenders with respect
to any of the Obligations or any Collateral, until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Agents or the Lenders
hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the
Obligations.

 (g) Financial Condition. 
  
 (i) The Financial Statements, copies of which have been
delivered to each Agent and each Lender, fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations of the Parent
and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal periods ended on such respective dates, all in accordance with GAAP, other than with respect to interim Financial Statements, year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes, and since September 30, 2004,
no event or development has occurred that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (ii) The Parent has, on or before the Effective Date, furnished to each Agent and each Lender projected balance sheets, income statements
and statements of cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the period from the Effective Date through December 31, 2008, which projected financial statements shall be updated from time to time pursuant Section 8.01(a)(vii). Such
projections, as so updated, shall have been prepared in good faith by the Parent, and shall have been based on assumptions believed by the Parent to be reasonable at the time prepared. 
  
 (h) Compliance with Law, Etc. No Loan Party is in violation of its organizational documents, any law,
rule, regulation, judgment or order of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or any of its property or assets, any term of the Plan of Reorganization or the Confirmation Order, or any material term of any material agreement or instrument
(including, without limitation, any Material Contract) binding on or otherwise affecting it or any of its properties, except to the extent that any such violation of law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or agreement or instrument would not be
reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 (i) ERISA. (i) Each “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained (or that was
maintained at any time during the six (6) calendar years preceding the date of any borrowing hereunder) for employees of any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates or was contributed to or was required to be contributed to by a Loan Party or any
of its ERISA Affiliates (“Benefit Plan”) is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that no Loan Party represents or warrants that any Multiemployer Plan is
in compliance with ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) no Termination Event has occurred nor is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Employee Plan, (iii) the most recent annual report (Form 5500 Series) with respect to each
Employee Plan, including any required Schedule B (Actuarial Information) thereto, copies of which have been filed with the Internal Revenue Service and delivered to the Agents, is complete and correct in all material respects and fairly presents the
funding status of such Employee Plan, and since the date of such report there has been no material adverse change in such funding status, (iv) copies of each agreement entered into with the PBGC, the U.S. Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue
Service with respect to any Employee Plan have been delivered to the Agents, (v) no Employee Plan had an accumulated or waived funding deficiency or permitted decrease which would create a deficiency in its funding standard account or has applied

 - 78 - 

 
or is reasonably likely to arise on account of any Employee Plan within the meaning of Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 4068 of ERISA.
Each Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the
Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of any Loan Party, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. No Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any withdrawal
liability with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or has knowledge of any facts indicating that it or any of its ERISA Affiliates is reasonably likely in the future to incur
any such withdrawal liability. No Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates or any fiduciary of any Benefit Plan has (without curing such defect prior to the Effective Date) (A) engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Sections 406
of ERISA or 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) failed to pay any required installment or other payment required under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code on or before the due date for such required installment or payment, (C) engaged in a
transaction within the meaning of Section 4069 of ERISA or (D) incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due which are unpaid. Except as set

Plan or its assets, (y) any fiduciary with respect to any Benefit Plan, or (z) any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Benefit Plan. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.01(i) and except as required by Section 4980B of the
Internal Revenue Code, no Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates maintains an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) which provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any
retired or former employee of any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates or coverage after a participant’s termination of employment. 
  
 (j) Taxes, Etc. All federal and foreign and all material state and local tax returns and other material reports required by
applicable law to be filed by any Loan Party have been filed, or extensions have been obtained, and all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon any Loan Party or any property of any Loan Party and which have become due and
payable on or prior to the date hereof have been paid, except to the extent contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from the non-payment thereof and with respect to which
adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with GAAP. 
  
 (k) Regulations T, U and X. No Loan Party is or will be engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X), and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

  
 (l) Nature of Business. No Loan Party
is engaged in any business other than as described in the Parent’s Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2004 with the SEC or a business reasonably related thereto. 
  

 - 79 - 

 (m) Adverse Agreements, Etc. No Loan Party is a party to any agreement or
instrument, or subject to any charter, limited liability company agreement, partnership agreement or other corporate, partnership or limited liability company restriction or any judgment, order, regulation, ruling or other requirement of a court or
other Governmental Authority, which has, or in the future could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (n) Permits, Etc. Each Loan Party has, and is in compliance with, all permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, entitlements
and accreditations required for such Person lawfully to own, lease, manage or operate, or to acquire, each business currently owned, leased, managed or operated, or to be acquired, by such Person (including, without limitation, any certificates of
occupancy for buildings owned or occupied by any Loan Party), which if not obtained or complied with, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No condition exists or event has occurred which results in, or with the giving of
notice or lapse of time or both, would result in, the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any such permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or accreditation, and there is no claim that any thereof is not in
full force and effect, except, to the extent any such condition, event or claim could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All Vessel certificates, licenses, permits and/or other operating documents for the Vessels are
up-to-date. 
  
 (o) Properties. (i) Each
Loan Party has good and marketable title to, valid and subsisting leasehold interests in, or valid and subsisting licenses to use, all property and assets material to its business, free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens. All such

 (ii) All leased or owned facilities of each Loan Party that are material to the business of such Loan Party are set forth on Schedule
7.01(o). Schedule 7.01(o) describes with particularity each of the fee and leasehold components of each such Facility. As of the Effective Date, each Loan Party has a valid and subsisting leasehold interest in each Lease described on Schedule
7.01(o) to which it is a party. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 7.01(o) accurately identifies each of the current lessors and lessees with respect to each Lease listed on such schedule. Each such Lease is valid, binding and enforceable in
accordance with its terms in all material respects and, to the knowledge of each Borrower, is in full force and effect. The Loan Parties have delivered to Collateral Agent, true, correct and complete copies of each such Lease. No consent or approval
of any landlord or other third party in connection with any such Lease is necessary for any Loan Party to enter into and execute the Loan Documents to which it is a party, except for such consents or approvals which have been obtained. No Loan Party
has any knowledge that any other party to any such Lease is in default of its material obligations thereunder, and no Loan Party (or any other party to any such Lease) has at any time delivered or received any notice of default which remains uncured
under any such Lease and, as of the Effective Date, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default under any such Lease (except for the failure to pay pre-petition rent arrearages
under certain Leases for the period prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Pre-Petition Rent Arrearages”) to the extent such Pre-Petition Rent Arrearages are paid within 60 days of the Effective Date). 

 

 - 80 - 

 (p) Full Disclosure. Each Loan Party has disclosed to the Agents all agreements,
instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it is subject, and all other matters known to it on the Effective Date, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the
other written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented
by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading; provided
that, with respect to projected financial information, each Loan Party represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared. As of the Effective Date, there is no
contingent liability or fact that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in a footnote included in the Financial Statements or a Schedule hereto.

Date, the aggregate amount of annual payments on all of the Loan Parties’ Operating Lease Obligations is not in excess of $15,000,000.

not have a Material Adverse Effect; and (viii) no Loan Party has received any notification pursuant to any Environmental Laws that (A) any work, repairs, construction or Capital Expenditures are required to be made in respect as a condition of
continued compliance with any Environmental Laws, or any license, permit or approval issued pursuant thereto or (B) any license, permit or approval referred to above is about to be reviewed, made, subject to limitations or conditions, revoked,
withdrawn or terminated, in each case, except as could not have a Material Adverse Effect.

time within one (1) year prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each individual Loan Party hereby expressly authorizes and appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of
and upon behalf of such Loan Party, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest; provided, however, that such Loan Party shall not be obligated to exercise any option to renew or
extend the term of any Lease, and Collateral Agent shall not have any right to exercise any such option in the name or on behalf of such Loan Party, unless the failure to do so will have a Material Adverse Effect. If either Agent shall determine, in
its Permitted Discretion, that the failure to exercise any such renewal or extension option has resulted or will result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, at its option, to take any or all of the actions
afforded to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, under this Agreement or under applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to exercise any such renewal or extension option in the name and on behalf of the applicable Loan
Party. For purposes of this Section 8.01(r), any Loan Party’s failure to renew or extend any Lease shall not be deemed to result in a Material Adverse Effect solely by virtue of the fact that such non-renewal or non-extension will, by
definition, cause the applicable Lease to expire, thereby terminating the Mortgage on such Lease and making it impossible for such Loan Party to continue to perform its obligations with respect to such Lease under the applicable Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, each Loan Party shall be obligated to renew or extend any Lease which is identified as a “material lease” on Schedule 7.01(o), unless such Loan Party obtains the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent in its Permitted Discretion to such Loan Party’s proposed non-renewal or non-extension of the Lease in question.

 (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Agent may send a notice of assignment and/or notice of the Lenders’ security interest to any and all Account Debtors or third parties holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral; provided that such notice
shall direct that any proceeds of such Collateral be paid directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, and thereafter the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts and cause all payments to be
made to the Administrative Agent to be deposited in the Administrative Agent’s Account and/or take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. The Loan Parties shall not, without prior written consent of the Agents,

whatsoever thereon, except, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, as permitted by Section 8.02(m). 
  
 (c) Each Loan Party hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the Loan Parties’ attorney-in-fact with
power exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to endorse any Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Accounts, to sign any Loan Party’s

misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations
and other Obligations under the Loan Documents are Paid in Full and all of the Loan Documents are terminated. 
  

 - 107 - 

 (d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent as agent of any

(other than from acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents and the Lenders shall not, under any circumstance or in any event
whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than
acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the
obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof. 
  
 (e) If any Account includes a charge for any tax payable to
any Governmental Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Loan Parties’ account and to charge the Loan Parties therefor. The
Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent if any Account includes any taxes due to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of
such Account and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of the sale and delivery creating such Account. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein
provided, and the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in any other Loan Document or as
provided by law. 
  
 (g) With respect to each
Cash Management Account identified as a deposit account on Schedule 7.01(u), on the last Business Day of each month that the balance in any such account exceeds $5,000, the applicable Loan Party shall initiate a federal funds wire transfer of the
balance of all available funds on deposit in such account in excess of $5,000 on such Business Day to the Concentration Account; provided, however, that any time such transfer would be in an amount of less than $1,000, such transfer
shall be made only upon the written request of the Administrative Agent. No Loan Party shall at any time maintain a balance in excess of $50,000 for a period exceeding three consecutive days located in an account at a bank or financial institution

Agent or the Administrative Agent, including As-Extracted Collateral constituting both Revolver Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, shall be deemed to be sold or disposed of in the order that such Collateral was extracted from the
ground at such location of the Loan Parties. All such actions shall be taken by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to realize a commercially reasonable value from the Collateral within a commercially reasonable time.

  
 ARTICLE XI

Rata Share of all payments so received; (ii) to distribute to each Lender copies of all material notices and agreements received by such Agent and not required to be delivered to each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided
that the Agents shall not have any liability to the Lenders for any Agent’s inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders; (iii) in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, to maintain, in
accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Loans, and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the
status of the Collateral and related matters; (iv) in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents,
instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Loans and Agent Advances, for such Agent or on behalf of the 

  

 - 116 - 

 
applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of
the Lenders with respect to the Loan Parties, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (viii) in
the case of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, subject to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other
powers delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make
determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not be required to refuse to honor a
drawing under any Letter of Credit Accommodation and the Agents shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of any Agent, exposes such Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or applicable law. 
  
 Section 11.02 Nature of Duties. The
Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agents shall not have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making
and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis,
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a
Lender, each Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required
Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain
from acting pursuant hereto. 
  
 Section 11.03 Rights,
Exculpation, Etc. The Agents and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under 

  

 - 117 - 

 
or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Agents receive written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof,
pursuant to Section 13.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agents; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants,
and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any
Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral
or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain
any portion of the Collateral. The Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 5.04, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made
in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from
the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agents
shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall
have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. 
  
 Section 11.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters
pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. 
  
 Section 11.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent or the L/C Issuer is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will
reimburse and indemnify such Agent and the L/C Issuer from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any 

  

 - 118 - 

 
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or the L/C Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including, without
limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 11.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from such Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under
this Section 11.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 11.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of each of the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment and Term
Loan B Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or
maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Revolving Loan Lenders”, “Required Term A Lenders”, “Required Term B Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Revolving Loan Lenders, the Required Term A Lenders, the Required Term B Lenders or the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders. 
  
 Section 11.07 Successor Agent. (a) Each Agent may resign from the
performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Borrower and each Lender. Such resignation shall take
effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below. 
  
 (b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders with, in the absence of a continuing Default or Event of Default, the
consent of the Administrative Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any
Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XI 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 and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed
within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of the other Agents with, in the absence of a continuing Default or Event of Default, the consent of the Administrative Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, shall then appoint a successor 

  

 - 119 - 

 
Agent who shall serve as an Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the other Agents, appoint a successor Agent as
provided above. 
  
 Section 11.08 Collateral Matters.

  
 (a) Subject to the terms of a separate
written agreement among the Agents and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which such Agent, in its reasonable discretion (or
during the continuance of an Event of Default, its sole discretion), deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount
of repayment by the Borrowers of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as
described in Section 13.04. The Agent Advances shall bear interest at the maximum rate set forth in this Agreement and shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may
be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 5.02. Any Agent making an Agent Advance shall notify each Lender and the Administrative Borrower in writing of each such Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose
of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 11.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Agent, making the Agent Advance upon such Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds,
the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent making an Agent Advance by such Lender, such Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such
Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to such Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. 
  
 (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral
Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, and all
other Obligations which have matured; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Permitted Dispositions); or constituting
property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders
will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.08(b). 
  
 (c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent
by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 11.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 11.08(b). Upon receipt by the
Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the 

  

 - 120 - 

 
Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent
to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or
obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party. 
  
 (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan
Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected
or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to
the Collateral Agent in this Section 11.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem
appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided
herein. 
  
 Section 11.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Agent
and each Lender hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges
that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s
instructions. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights
with respect to the collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing. 
  

Section 11.10 Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender
that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agents and Required Lenders, it being the intent of
Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agents or Required Lenders. 
  
 Section 11.11 Agents and their Affiliates and their Designated Entities. With respect to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and Loans of Foothill hereunder, Foothill, and with 

  

 - 121 - 

 
respect to the Loans of Sea Pines Funding LLC, SPCP Group LLC, SPCP Group III LLC, Spiret IV Loan Trust 2003-A, TRS THEBE LLC and Bear Sterns Investment
Products, Inc. (each a “Designated Entity” and collectively, the “Designated Entities”) hereunder, Silver Point, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though Foothill were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Foothill in its individual capacity, and each Designated Entity in its
individual capacity. Foothill and its Affiliates, and Silver Point, the Designated Entities and their Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person
who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Affiliate, all as if Foothill, and Silver Point were not Agents and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Foothill and its Affiliates, and Silver Point, the
Designated Entities and their Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Silver Point (directly or through its
Affiliates or designees) has also made loans to the Loan Parties under the Existing DIP Credit Facility. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between (i) Foothill as a Lender holding interests in the Loans, and Foothill as
Administrative Agent and (ii) a Designated Entity as a Lender holding interests in the Loans, and Silver Point as Collateral Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 GUARANTY 
  
 Section 12.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise,
of all Obligations of each Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest, fees, expense reimbursements (including, without limitation, all interest, fees and expense reimbursements that accrue after the
commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of any Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest, fees or expense reimbursements are allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), Letter of Credit Obligations, Banking Services Obligations,
commissions, indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, being the ”Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses)

constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrowers to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an
Insolvency Proceeding involving any Borrower. 
  
 Section 12.02
Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer with respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that this ARTICLE XII constitutes a guaranty of 

  

 - 122 - 

 
payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by any Agent or any Lender to any Collateral. The obligations
of each Guarantor under this ARTICLE XII are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought
against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this ARTICLE XII shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of,
or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the
extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise; 
  
 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

  
 (d) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other right that the Guarantors may have at any time against any Person, including, without limitation, any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer. 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan
Party; or 
  
 (f) any other circumstance
(including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party
or any other guarantor or surety. 
  
 This ARTICLE XII shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agents, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or any other Person, all as though such payment had
not been made. 
  
 Section 12.03 Waiver. Each Guarantor
hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this ARTICLE XII and any requirement that the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer exhaust any right or
take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this ARTICLE XII from any one particular
fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer 

  

 - 123 - 

 
protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan
Party or any other Person or any Collateral, and (v) any other defense available to the Guarantors. The Guarantors agree that the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Guarantors or
against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 12.03 is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this ARTICLE XII, and acknowledges that this ARTICLE XII is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in
the future. 
  
 Section 12.04 Continuing Guaranty;
Assignments. This ARTICLE XII is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of the date on which all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XII shall have been Paid
in Full and the Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns.

Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan A Commitments, Term Loan B Commitments, its Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 13.07. 
  
 Section 12.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this ARTICLE XII, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the
Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to
take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XII shall have been Paid in Full and the Maturity Date shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at
any time prior to the later of the date on which all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XII shall have been Paid in Full and the Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and shall forthwith be paid to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XII, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XII thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agents, the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations 

  

 - 124 - 

 
and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XII shall be Paid in Full and (iii) the Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Agents, the Lenders and the
L/C Issuer will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor
of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor. 
  
 Section 12.06 Intercompany Indebtedness. (a) Each Loan Party covenants and agrees that the payment of any indebtedness and all obligations and liabilities owing by any Loan Party in favor of any other Loan
Party, whether now existing or hereafter incurred (collectively, the “Intercompany Obligations”) is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 12.06, to the prior payment in full of all Obligations owed or
hereafter owing to Agents and Lenders by the Loan Parties and that such subordination is for the benefit of each Agent for itself and Lenders. 
  
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby (i) authorizes Agents on behalf of Lenders to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 12.06 at
any time when any Loan Party shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 12.06 which are applicable to it and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such
remedy of specific performance. 
  
 (c) Upon any
distribution of assets of any Loan Party in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise): 
  
 (i) Agents and Lenders shall first be entitled to receive
payment in full in cash of the Obligations before any Loan Party is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Intercompany Obligations. 
  
 (ii) Any payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which
any other Loan Party would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 12.06(c), shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders in the manner set forth herein, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefor to Administrative Agent for itself and
Lenders 
  
 (iii) In the event that
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.06(c), any payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any other Loan Party on account of any
Intercompany Obligations before all Obligations are paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to Administrative Agent for itself and Lenders for application to the payment of the
Obligations until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to Administrative Agent for itself and Lenders. 
  

 - 125 - 

 (d) No right of Agents, any Lender or any other present or future holders of the
Obligations to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any Loan Party, or by any
noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms of the Intercompany Obligations, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Loan Party may have or be otherwise charged with.

shall (i) for any Lender, increase the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Term Loan A Commitment or the Term Loan B Commitment of such Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or the Letter of Credit Obligations payable to such
Lender, reduce the  

  

 - 127 -

 Section 13.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any
Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document
against such party or against any other Person.

instruments and documents referred to in Section 8.01(f)), (b) any requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and
protection of any of the Agents’ or the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any Person that arises from or relates

judicial proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding related to any Loan Party or the Collateral, including in any adversary proceeding
or contested matter commenced or continued by, on behalf of, or against any Loan Party or its estate, and any appeal or review thereof, (f) the filing of any petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading by any Agent or any Lender, or the
taking of any action in respect of the Collateral or other security, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (g) the protection, collection,

connection with the past, present or future operations of any Loan Party involving any damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such
property, (k) any Environmental Liabilities and Costs incurred in connection with the investigation, removal, cleanup and/or remediation of any Hazardous Materials present or arising out of the operations of any facility of any Loan Party, (l) any
Environmental Liabilities and Costs incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien, or (m) the receipt by any Agent or any Lender of any advice from professionals with respect to any of the foregoing. Without limitation of the foregoing or any
other provision of any Loan Document: (x) each Borrower agrees to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by any Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and each Borrower agrees to save each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or
delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions, (y) each Borrower agrees to pay all broker fees that may become due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (z) if any Borrower fails
to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed
on demand by the Borrowers. 
  
 Section 13.05 Right of
Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly
waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such
Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any
demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this Section 13.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, in law or otherwise. 
  
 Section 13.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 Section 13.07 Assignments and Participations. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void. 
  
 (b) Each Lender may, (x) with the written consent of the Collateral Agent and, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, the
Administrative Borrower, which consent, in each such case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all

as the case may be) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by (A) a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, (B) with any consent otherwise required by this paragraph, a Lender to a Person and its
Affiliates or a Related Fund of such Person to the extent the aggregate amount assigned to all such Persons is at least $1,000,000 or a multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (such assignment, a “Related Assignee Assignment”) or (C)
with any consent otherwise required by this paragraph, a Lender and such Lender’s Affiliates or Related Funds to a Person to the extent the aggregate amount assigned by such Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds to such Person is at least
$1,000,000 or a multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (such assignment, a “Related Assignor Assignment”, and together with a “Related Assignee Assignment”, a “Related Assignment”), (ii) the parties to
each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agents, for their acceptance (to the extent required), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $4,000 (except (A) the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and (B) such fee
shall only be payable once in connection with any Related Assignment), (iii) no written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment by a Lender to
another Lender or an Affiliate of such assigning Lender or a Related Fund of such assigning Lender. The Borrowers and the Agents may continue to deal solely and directly with an assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned until such
Lender and its assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Borrower and the Agents, and the Agents shall have accepted, an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the parties to
such 

  

 - 131 - 

 
assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it
immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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). 
  
 (i) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto;
(B) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (C) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (D) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (E) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such
action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto;
and (F) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
  
 (ii) The Collateral Agent shall send a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it
and a register (the ”Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, Term Loan A Commitments of, and Term Loan B Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans
(the ”Registered Loans”) and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time. Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, the entries
in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such
Lender or a Related 

  

 - 132 - 

 
Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender shall maintain a comparable register to the Register.

  
 (iii) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any promissory notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if the applicable Agents consent to such assignment (to the extent any such Agent’s
consent is required) and if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. 
  
 (iv) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in
whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the
same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale
duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or
transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 
  
 (v) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall maintain a
register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the ”Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in
part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only
by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 
  
 (vi) Any foreign Person who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall provide the Agents and the Lender with a completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (Certificate of
Foreign Status) or a substantially similar form for such purchaser, participant or any other affiliate who is a holder of beneficial interests in the Registered Loan. 
  
 (c) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments, the Loans made by it and its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations);
provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, 

  

 - 133 - 

 
and the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity
dates or decrease in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the scheduled due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable
under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 11.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that
each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.07 and Section 5.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans as if it were a Lender; provided,
however, that the amount of any such benefit shall be limited to the amount that would otherwise be payable to the Lender selling the participation with respect to the portion of the Loan in which the participation was so sold. 
  
 Section 13.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telecopier shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis
mutandis. 
  
 Section 13.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN
ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 
  
 Section 13.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW
YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE
JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS CT CORPORATION AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.01 AND TO CT
CORPORATION 

  

 - 134 - 

 
AT 111 EIGHTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF
THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF
EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
  
 Section 13.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT
AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER
AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 Section 13.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein to the contrary, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any
provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which any Loan Party is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by such Agent or
such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith. 
  
 Section 13.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be
the drafter of this Agreement. 
  

 - 135 - 

 Section 13.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall give prompt notice
of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Administrative Borrower, and if such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer with any such claimant, then and in
such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by
such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer. 
  
 Section 13.15
Indemnification. 
  
 (a) General
Indemnity. In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer and all of their
respective officers, directors, members, partners, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the ”Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees,
reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a
result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrowers or the L/C Issuer’s issuing of Letter of Credit Accommodations for the account of the Borrowers under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans or the Letter of Credit Obligations, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the ”Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter (x) to any Indemnitee
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) to any Lender or its Indemnitees arising directly from any action solely between or among the
Lenders. 
  
 (b) Environmental Indemnity.
Without limiting Section 13.15(a) hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising 

  

 - 136 - 

 
out of (i) any Releases or threatened Releases (x) at any property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan
Party, or any corporate predecessor, or (y) of any Hazardous Materials Handled by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any corporate predecessor; (ii) any violations of Environmental Laws; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any corporate predecessor; (iv) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials Handled by any Loan Party or
any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any corporate predecessor; and (v) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan Parties in Section 7.01(r) or the breach of any covenant made by the Loan Parties
in Section 8.01(j). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees) covered hereunder which is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (c) The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the
Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute
the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 13.15 shall survive the repayment of
the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 13.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Revolving Credit
Commitments, the Term Loan A Commitments, the Term Loan B Commitments, the Applicable Prepayment Premium, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to the terms hereof and the Fee Letter, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of
the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 13.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.01
hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties
shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 13.07 hereof. 
  
 Section 13.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it
(including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily 

  

 - 137 - 

 
applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law
applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under
no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the
extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be Paid in Full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrowers); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated
by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more
than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or
prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be Paid
in Full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrowers). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such
Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by
such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 13.18
and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or
such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving
effect to this Section 13.18. 
  
 For purposes of this Section
13.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the
charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

  
 The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does
not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration. 
  

 - 138 - 

 Section 13.19 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of
its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and
sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties on and after the Effective Date pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the
Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a
confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (ii) to
Affiliates of any Agent or Lender or to counsel for any Agent or any Lender, (iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties, (iv) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party or (v) to any
assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this
Section 13.19. Each Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or
identification; provided that each Loan Party acknowledges that (x) each Agent and each Lender may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof and that each Agent and each Lender may be
subject to review by Securitization Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information, and (y) the
provisions of this Section 13.19 shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment of such transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee, representative, or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all Persons,
without limitation, the federal tax structure and federal tax treatment of such transactions (including all written materials related to such tax structure and tax treatment), the intent of which is to cause the transactions contemplated hereby not
to be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code, and shall be
construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. 
  
 Section
13.20 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other
agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. 
  
 Section
13.21 The Parent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in
full force and effect unless and until the Agents shall have received prior written notice signed by all of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide to the Agents and receive from the Agents all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and 

  

 - 139 - 

 
instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done
solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall incur liability to
the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each of the Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on
the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Agents and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each of the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Indemnitees and hold the
Indemnitees harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against such Indemnitee by any of the Borrowers or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan
Account and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Agents and the Lenders relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents. 
  
 Section 13.22 Press Releases and Related
Matters. Each Loan Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure (other than disclosures filed with the Bankruptcy Court) using the name of Silver
Point or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to Silver Point and without the prior written consent of Silver Point, unless (and only to the extent that) such
Loan Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Loan Party or Affiliate will consult with Silver Point before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each Loan Party consents to the publication by
any Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Agents reserve the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for
inclusion in league table measurements.

Stock, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property (including, but not limited to, any stock dividend and any distribution in
connection with a stock split) from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the foregoing; 
  
 (d) all investment property, financial assets, securities, Capital Stock, other equity interests, stock options and commodity contracts of
such Pledgor, all notes, debentures, bonds, promissory notes or other evidences of indebtedness of such Pledgor, and all other assets now or hereafter received or receivable with respect to the foregoing; 
  
 (e) all security entitlements of such Pledgor in any and all
of the foregoing; and 
  
 (f) all proceeds
(including proceeds of proceeds) of any and all of the foregoing; 
  
 in each
case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor and howsoever its interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership, security interest, Lien, claim or otherwise). 
  
 SECTION 3. Security for Obligations. The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral constitutes
continuing collateral security for all of the following obligations, whether now existing or hereafter incurred (the “Obligations”): 
  
 (a) the prompt payment by each Pledgor, as and when due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration,
demand or otherwise), of all amounts from time to time owing by it in respect of the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (i) all Obligations (as defined in the Financing Agreement) (including, without
limitation, all interest, fees and expenses that accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan Party whether or not the payment of 

  

 3 

 
such interest, fees or expenses are unenforceable or are not allowable, in whole or in part, due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding), (ii) all
Letter of Credit Obligations and all Banking Services Obligations, (iii) in the case of a Guarantor, all amounts from time to time owing by such Pledgor in respect of its guaranty made pursuant to Article XII of the Financing Agreement or
under any other Guaranty to which it is a party, including all obligations guaranteed by such Pledgor and (iv) all commissions, charges, indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under any Loan Document; and 
  
 (b) the due performance and observance by each Pledgor of
all of its other obligations from time to time existing in respect of the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (a) (i) All promissory notes currently evidencing the Pledged Debt and all certificates currently representing the Pledged Shares shall be
delivered to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other promissory notes, certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time required to be pledged to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Financing Agreement (the “Additional Collateral”) shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent promptly upon, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of, receipt thereof by or on
behalf of any of the Pledgors. All such promissory notes, certificates and instruments shall be held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by
duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If any Pledged Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the
immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, such Pledgor shall cause the Collateral Agent (or its designated custodian or nominee) to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will
comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to such securities without further consent by such Pledgor. If any Pledged Collateral consists of security entitlements, such Pledgor shall transfer such security entitlements
to the Collateral Agent (or its custodian, nominee or other designee), or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Pledgor. 

 
 (ii) Within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by a
Pledgor of any Additional Collateral, a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Annex I hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”), shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in respect of the Additional
Collateral which must be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and the Financing Agreement. The Pledge Amendment shall from and after delivery thereof constitute part of Schedules I and II hereto. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to
attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all promissory notes, certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Collateral Agent shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral and such
Pledgor shall be deemed upon delivery thereof to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 hereof with respect to such Additional Collateral. 
  

 4 

 (b) Unless otherwise permitted under the Financing Agreement, if any Pledgor shall
receive, by virtue of such Pledgor’s being or having been an owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i) stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any
increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off), promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution
for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by any such Pledgor pursuant to Section 7 hereof) or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends,
distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, such Pledgor shall receive
such stock certificate, promissory note, instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Collateral
Agent, in the exact form received, with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor jointly and
severally represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 (a) Each Pledgor (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state, province or other applicable jurisdiction of its organization, (ii)
has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other Loan Document to be executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its
business makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Pledgor of this Agreement and each other Loan Document
to which such Pledgor is or will be party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, action, (ii) do not and will not contravene its charter or by-laws, its limited
liability company or operating agreement or its certificate of partnership or partnership agreement, as applicable, or any applicable law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its properties, (iii) do not and will not
result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of its properties other than pursuant to this Agreement and (iv) do not and will not result in any material default, noncompliance,
suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to its operations or any of its properties. 
  
 (c) The Existing Issuers set forth in Schedule II hereto are the Pledgors’ only Subsidiaries existing
on the date hereof. The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and the holders thereof are not 

  

 5 

 
entitled to any preemptive, first refusal or other similar rights. Except as noted in Schedule II hereto, the Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued
shares of Capital Stock of the Pledged Issuers as of the date hereof. All other shares of stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 
  
 (d) The promissory notes currently evidencing the Pledged
Debt have been, and all other promissory notes from time to time evidencing Pledged Debt, when executed and delivered, will have been, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the respective makers thereof, and all such promissory notes are or
will be, as the case may be, legal, valid and binding obligations of such makers, enforceable against such makers in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws. 
  
 (e) Each Pledgor is and
will be at all times the legal and beneficial owner of its Pledged Collateral free and clear of all Liens, except for the Lien created by this Agreement. 
  
 (f) The exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not contravene any law or any contractual
restriction binding on or affecting any Pledgor or any of the properties of any Pledgor and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the properties of such Pledgor other than pursuant to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (g) No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by any Pledgor for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by any Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii)
the grant by any Pledgor, or the perfection, of the Lien created hereby in the Pledged Collateral or (iii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except as may be required in connection with any sale of any
Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally. 
  
 (h) This Agreement creates a valid Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in the Pledged
Collateral as security for the Obligations. The Collateral Agent’s having possession of the promissory notes evidencing the Pledged Debt, the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates, instruments and cash
constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time results in the perfection of such Lien. Such Lien is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral in which any of the Pledgors obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected, first priority
Lien. All action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such Lien has been duly taken, except for the Collateral Agent’s having possession of certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral after the date hereof.

  
 (i) This Agreement is, and each other Loan
Document to which any Pledgor is or will be a party, when executed and delivered, will be, a legal valid and binding obligation of such Pledgor, enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any of the Obligations shall remain
outstanding or prior to the termination of the Total Commitment and Letter of Credit Accommodations (unless otherwise cash collateralized pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement), each Pledgor will, unless the Collateral Agent shall
otherwise consent in writing: 
  
 (a) keep
adequate records concerning the Pledged Collateral and permit the Collateral Agent or any agents, designees or representatives thereof at any time or from time to time to examine and make copies of and abstracts from such records; 
  
 (b) at the Pledgors’ joint and several expense,
promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it in respect of the Pledged Collateral; 
  
 (c) at the Pledgors’ joint and several expense, defend the Collateral Agent’s right, title and security interest in and to the
Pledged Collateral against the claims of any Person; 
  
 (d) at the Pledgors’ joint and several expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect, or maintain the perfection of, the security interest and Lien created hereby, (ii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of
the Pledged Collateral or (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, delivering to the Collateral Agent irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral; 
  
 (e) not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise),
exchange or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral or any interest therein except as expressly permitted by Section 8.02 of the Financing Agreement; 
  
 (f) not create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any Pledged Collateral, except for the Lien created hereby. 

 
 (g) not make or consent to any amendment or other
modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Collateral or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Collateral other than pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
  
 (h) not permit the issuance of (i) any additional shares of
any class of Capital Stock of any Pledged Issuer, (ii) any securities convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares of
Capital Stock or (iii) any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares of Capital Stock; and 
  
 (i) not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the validity or enforceability of
the Collateral Agent’s security interest in and Lien on any Pledged Collateral. 
  

 7 

 SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of the Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing: 
  
 (i) each Pledgor may exercise
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (A)
none of the Pledgors will exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if the Collateral Agent gives a Pledgor notice that, in the Collateral Agent’s judgment, such action (or inaction) is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect and (B) each Pledgor will give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right which is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
  
 (ii) each of the Pledgors may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Financing Agreement; provided, however, that any
and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other
distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable
or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any dividend, interest or other distribution or payment which at the time of such payment was not permitted by the Financing Agreement, shall be,
and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent, to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any of the Pledgors, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from the other property or
funds of the Pledgors, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged
Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations; and 
  
 (iii) the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to a Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such
Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends, interest and/or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section
7(a)(ii) hereof. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
  
 (i) all rights of each Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the dividends, distributions, interest and other payments
that it would 

  

 8 

 
otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and interest payments; 
  
 (ii) the Collateral Agent is authorized to notify each
debtor with respect to the Pledged Debt to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) and may collect any and all moneys due or to become due to any Pledgor in respect of the Pledged Debt, and each of the Pledgors hereby
authorizes each such debtor to make such payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or its designee) without any duty of inquiry; 
  
 (iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion,
exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the
Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, and, in
connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and 
  
 (iv) all dividends, distributions, interest and other
payments that are received by any of the Pledgors contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgors, and shall be forthwith
paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further
collateral security for the Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 8.
Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Pledgor (i)
authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements,
instruments, or other documents in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any financing statements required hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any continuation statements or amendment with respect
thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of such Pledgor and (iii) ratifies the filing of any financing statement, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, filed without the signature of such Pledgor
prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. 
  

 9 

 (b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as such Pledgor’s
attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that
the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of such Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof), including, without limitation, to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made
payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the date on which
all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full after the termination of the Loan Documents. 
  
 (c) If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent itself may perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be jointly and severally payable by the Pledgors pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Pledged
Collateral. 
  
 (d) Other than the exercise of
reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while held hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged
Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to any of the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for
the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral. 
  
 (f) The Collateral Agent may at any time in its discretion (i) without notice to any Pledgor, transfer or register in the name of the
Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights of such Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof, and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. 
  

 10 

 SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

  
 (a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in
respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code then in effect in the State of New York;
and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere,
at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least five (5) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the
time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged
Collateral regardless of whether or not notice of sale has been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
  
 (b) In the event that the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, each Pledgor will, at such Pledgor’s expense and upon
request by the Collateral Agent do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. 
  
 (c) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may
deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such
securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges
that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed
to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act. Each Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general
circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen
bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of New York,
notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 
  

 11 

 (d) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds
received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for,
and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the
Collateral Agent shall elect consistent with the provisions of the Financing Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after the date on which all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full after
the termination of the Loan Documents shall be paid over to the Pledgors or to such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  
 (e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agents and
the Lenders are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such
other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. 
  
 SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses. 
  
 (a) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs,
expenses and disbursements) incurred by such Indemnitee to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or
liabilities result from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

(b) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses,
including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Collateral Agent’s counsel and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral Agent) which the
Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or
operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any
of the provisions hereof. 
  
 SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to any Pledgor, to it in care of the Administrative Borrower at its address specified in the Financing Agreement; if to the
Collateral Agent, to it at its address specified in the Financing Agreement; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such 

  

 12 

 
other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if mailed (by
certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), when received or three (3) Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (b) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received, provided same is on a
Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day or (c) if delivered, upon delivery, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day. 
  

SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, all Liens and all obligations of each of the
Pledgors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (c) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral,
or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Pledgors
in respect of the Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 
  
 SECTION 13. Miscellaneous. 
  

(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by each Pledgor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of the Pledgors therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
  
 (b) No failure on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under any Loan
Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer to exercise any of their rights under any other document against such party or against any other Person. 
  
 (c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full after the termination of the Loan Documents and (ii) be binding on each Pledgor and its respective successors
and assigns, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder, to the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer may assign or otherwise transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan
Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer herein or otherwise.
Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer shall mean the assignee of such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer. None of the rights or obligations of any of the Pledgors
hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void. 
  
 (e) Upon the date on which all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full after the termination of the Loan
Documents, (i) this Agreement and the security interest and Lien created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgors, and (ii) the Collateral Agent will, upon the Pledgors’ request and at the
Pledgors’ expense, without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (A) return to the Pledgors such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B)

MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST AND LIEN CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY
PARTICULAR PLEDGED COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  
 (g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose. 
  
 (h) This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart. 
  
 (i) All of the obligations of the Pledgors hereunder are joint and several. The Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
enforce the provisions hereof against any of the Pledgors and shall not be required to proceed against all Pledgors jointly or seek payment from the Pledgors ratably. In addition, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, select
the Pledged Collateral of any one or more of the Pledgors for sale or application to the Obligations, without regard to the ownership of such Pledged Collateral, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Pledged Collateral
owned by all of the Pledgors. The release or discharge of any Pledgor by the Collateral Agent shall not release or discharge any other Pledgor from the obligations of such Person hereunder.
