 EXHIBIT 10.4 
  
 AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
  
 This Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 2, 2004. 
  
 1. Employment. My last day of active employment with Sycamore
Networks, Inc. (“Sycamore” or the “Company”) was October 4, 2004, and my last date of employment will be October 4, 2005. 
  
 2. Stock and Stock Options. I acknowledge and agree that any stock and/or stock options granted to me during my employment with Sycamore will be
governed by the applicable plan document and applicable grant agreement (and any amendments thereto) related to Sycamore stock, stock exchange programs, and/or stock options (“Stock Plans”) and by the provisions of Section 3 below. I
further hereby acknowledge and agree that Sycamore’s time to exercise any right to repurchase unvested shares pursuant to any Stock Plans will begin as of October 4, 2005. 
  
 3. Consideration. I understand that in consideration for my execution of this Agreement and my fulfillment of the
promises made in this Agreement, Sycamore agrees to provide me with separation pay equal to my base salary, as defined below, payable in accordance with Sycamore’s normal payroll practices beginning on the last day of active employment and
ending on the last day of employment. Base salary shall mean the regular rate of salary payable to such employee in effect immediately prior to the last day of active employment. It is hereby agreed that all stock options and restricted stock
granted to me during my employment with the Company will continue to vest through October 4, 2005, my last date of employment with the Company. During the continued vesting period, if there is a recapitalization or other event that requires
adjustment to stock options for current employees then all vested and unvested stock options and restricted stock grants will be adjusted accordingly. 
  
 Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, I will have a period of three months following my last date of employment with the Company to
exercise my vested stock options. 
  
 Through the last day of employment, Sycamore
will pay the premiums for the continuation of group health insurance coverage. I understand and acknowledge that after the last date of employment, I may continue such coverage under COBRA at my own expense. 
  
 4. Change in Control Agreement. I understand and agree that in
consideration of the agreements of Sycamore contained herein the Change in Control Agreement between Sycamore and me dated as of November 17, 1999, is terminated as of the date hereof and that such agreement is hereinafter of no further force and
effect. 
  
 5. Conditions Applying to Payment of Benefits.
I understand and agree that the additional pay that I will receive pursuant to Section 3 above is subject to my compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the separation documents I have received. 
  
 6. General Release of Claims. I hereby voluntarily release Sycamore
and any and all of its subsidiaries, branches, divisions, affiliates, insurers, successors, assigns or related entities, as well as its or their present and former officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents, individually and in their
official capacities, (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, known and unknown, that I, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, have had or may have as of the date of execution of this

vested benefits as of the date hereof (the “Retained Rights”). 

 7. No Claims or Recovery and Affirmations. I confirm that I have not filed any claim, charge,
complaint or action against Sycamore in any forum or form. In the event that any claim, charge, or complaint is ever filed on my behalf, I hereby waive my right to accept any monetary relief or recovery therefrom, unless such waiver is prohibited by
law, except with respect to the Retained Rights. I understand that nothing herein is intended to or shall preclude me from filing a complaint and/or charge with any appropriate governmental or law enforcement agency and/or cooperating with said
agency in its investigation. I further affirm that I have been paid and/or have received all compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits to which I may be entitled and that no other compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions and/or
benefits are due to me, except as provided in this Agreement. I furthermore affirm that I have no known workplace injuries and have been provided and/or have not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act or related state
or city laws. 
  
 8. No Admission of Wrongdoing. I agree
that neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for the general release set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by the Released Parties of any liability or unlawful
conduct of any kind. 
  
 9.
Confidentiality/Non-Disparagement. I expressly acknowledge and agree to the following: 
  
 (i) that on or before December 15, 2004, I shall have returned to Sycamore all Sycamore documents (and any copies thereof) and property, that I shall be bound by the Sycamore Networks, Inc. Employee Agreement
Regarding Confidentiality and Inventions (the “Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement”) as well as any Stock Plans and that I will abide by any and all common law and/or statutory obligations relating to protection and non-disclosure of
Sycamore’s trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary documents and information; 
  
 (ii) that, in addition to and notwithstanding the terms of the Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement, I agree to keep strictly confidential, not to make public and not to disclose to anyone in any manner the
existence or terms of this Agreement except to my immediate family, state and federal tax authorities, my attorneys, tax preparers or accountants, or except as may be necessary to enforce the Agreement or upon court order; 
  
 (iii) that a breach of this Section 9 shall constitute a material breach of
this Agreement and shall entitle Sycamore to all available legal or equitable relief available. I also acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect Sycamore’s business interests, and further
acknowledge and agree that a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 9 would constitute a material breach of the Agreement, that Sycamore would suffer substantial irreparable harm and that Sycamore may not have an
adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach. Therefore, in recognition of these acknowledgments, I agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of these covenants, in addition to such other remedies as Sycamore may
have at law, Sycamore, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain, and I agree not to oppose, a request for equitable relief in the form of specific performance or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, or any other
equitable remedy which then may be available. The seeking of such injunction or order shall not affect Sycamore’s right to seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account of any such actual or threatened breach; and 
  
 (iv) that I will not make or publish any statement which is, or may
reasonably be considered to be, disparaging of Sycamore or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or directors, officers employees or the operations or products of Sycamore or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, it being understood that it shall
not be a violation of this Section 9(iv) for me to make any legally required filing or to give any required statements in connection with a legal or regulatory proceeding. 

 10. Cooperation. I agree that I will assist and cooperate fully with Sycamore in resolution of any
matters relating to my duties for Sycamore. I further agree and acknowledge that I will assist and cooperate with Sycamore in connection with any matters in which I was involved during the course of my employment including, without
limitation, in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought or threatened in the future against or on behalf of Sycamore (including any claims or actions against its officers, directors and employees)
and in connection with any investigation or proceeding by or before any regulatory agency or commission. My cooperation in connection with such matters, actions, claims, investigations and proceedings shall include, without limitation, being
available to meet with Sycamore regarding such matters in which I have been involved, and any contract matters or audits; preparing for any proceeding (including, without limitation, depositions, consultations, discovery or trials); providing
affidavits; assisting with any audit, inspection, proceeding or other inquiry; and/or acting as a witness in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding affecting Sycamore. Any out-of-pocket expenses which I reasonably incur in
connection with assisting or cooperating with Sycamore in accordance with the provisions of this section will be reimbursed by Sycamore. 
  
 11. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Should any provision of the Agreement be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and if it cannot be modified to be enforceable, excluding general
release language, such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement in effect. 
  
 12. Entire Agreement. I acknowledge and agree that, with the exception of the Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement and any Stock Plans, this
Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between me and the Released Parties and shall supersede any and all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties, concerning the subject matter herein and except as
otherwise specified in this Agreement. I acknowledge that I have not relied on any representations, promises, or agreements of any kind made to me in connection with my decision to sign this Agreement, except for those set forth in this
Agreement.  
  
 13. Amendment. This Agreement may
not be amended except by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties. 
  
 14. Right to Revoke. I understand that I have the right to revoke this Agreement at any time during the seven (7) day period following the
date on which I first sign the Agreement. 
  
 If I want to revoke, I must make a
revocation in writing which states: “I hereby revoke my acceptance of the Agreement and General Release”. This written revocation must be delivered by hand or sent by certified mail with a postmark dated before the end of the seven-day
revocation period to Daniel E. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sycamore Networks, Inc., 220 Mill Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824, otherwise the revocation will not be effective. 
  
 15. Effective Date. This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the expiration of the 7-day
revocation period described in Section 14 above. 

 I UNDERSTAND THAT MY RIGHT TO RECEIVE BENEFITS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO MY COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I WOULD NOT RECEIVE SUCH BENEFITS BUT FOR MY EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I WILL BE WAIVING MY RIGHTS UNDER FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAW TO BRING ANY CLAIMS THAT I HAVE HAD OR MAY CURRENTLY HAVE
AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES. BY RECEIVING AND READING THIS AGREEMENT I AM ADVISED IN WRITING TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth below.

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of November 15, 2004, by and among the
lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the
“Lenders”), WELLS FARGO FOOTHILL, INC., a California corporation, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity,
“Agent”), BUCA, INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), and each of Parent’s Subsidiaries identified on the signature pages hereof (such Subsidiaries, together with Parent, are referred to hereinafter
each individually as a “Borrower”, and individually and collectively, jointly and severally, as the “Borrowers”). 
  
 The parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION. 
  
 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. 
  
 1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically
defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrowers” or the term “Parent” is used in
respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless the context clearly requires otherwise. 
  
 1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set
forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein, provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such
term contained in Article 9 shall govern. 
  
 1.4
Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and
“including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan
Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to any agreement, instrument, or
document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations,
amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). Any reference herein or in the other Loan Documents to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations shall
mean the repayment in full in cash (or cash collateralization in accordance with the terms hereof) of all Obligations other than contingent indemnification Obligations and other than any Bank Product Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by
the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding and are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s
successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and
completeness of the information contained therein. 

 1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement
shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 2. LOAN AND TERMS OF
PAYMENT. 
  
 2.1 Revolver Advances. 

 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the
term of this Agreement, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make advances (“Advances”) to Borrowers in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) the Borrowing Base less the Letter of Credit Usage. 
  
 (b) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding,
Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base, including reserves with respect to (A) sums
that Borrowers are required to pay by any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have failed to
pay, and (B) amounts owing by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than a Permitted Lien), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely
would have a priority superior to the Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes
where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. 
  
 (d) At any time after the Closing Date, upon at least 5 Business Days prior
written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, Borrowers may reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount to an amount not less than the greater of (i) $10,000,000, or (ii) the sum of (x) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances (including
Swing Loans and Protective Advances) then outstanding, (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances not yet made as to which a request has been made by Administrative Borrower under Section 2.3, and (z) the then extant Letter of Credit
Usage. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000 (unless the Maximum Revolver Amount is otherwise reduced to $10,000,000)and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Maximum Revolver Amount may not,
thereafter, be increased. Each such reduction of the Maximum Revolver Amount shall reduce the Revolver Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. Concurrent with each such reduction, Borrowers shall pay
to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, the applicable revolver reduction premium as set forth in the Fee Letter. 
  
 2.2 Term Loans. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date each Lender with a Term Loan A Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or
jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan A”) to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan A Amount. The Term Loan A shall be repaid on the following dates and
in the following amounts: 
  

				
	 Date

	  	Installment Amount

	January 1, 2005, and the first day of each April, July, October, and January of each year thereafter, through and including October 1, 2008	  	$	312,500

  

 2 

 The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan A shall be due and
payable on the date of termination of this Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration. All amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A shall constitute Obligations. 
  
 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date each Lender with a Term Loan B Commitment
agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan B”) to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan B Amount. The outstanding unpaid
principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan B shall be due and payable on the date of termination of the Revolver Commitment or this Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration. All amounts
outstanding under the Term Loan B shall constitute Obligations. Once any portion of the Term Loan B has been paid or prepaid, it may not be reborrowed. 
  
 2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements. 
  
 (a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent. Unless
Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(b) below, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the
amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; provided, however, that if Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan as to a requested Borrowing, such notice must be received by
Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent
telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrowers agree that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such
written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. 
  
 (b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance and so long as either (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date and not subsequently repaid plus the amount of the requested Advance
does not exceed $5,000,000, or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole discretion, shall agree to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender, as a Lender, shall make an Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance
made solely by Swing Lender as a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and such Advances being referred to collectively as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers on the
Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to Borrowers’ Designated Account. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other
Advances, except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender as a Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Swing Lender as a Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated
to make any Swing Loan if Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing (unless such
condition has been waived), or (ii) the requested Borrowing would 
  

 3 

 exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender as a Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine
whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations
hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances. 
  
 (c) Making of Loans. 
  
 (i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time)
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, Agent
shall make the proceeds thereof available to Administrative Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to Administrative Borrower’s Designated Account;
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance if Agent shall have actual knowledge that (1) one
or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the
Availability on such Funding Date. 
  
 (ii) Unless Agent receives
notice from a Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that
Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts
owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such
amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account,
together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on
any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on
any Funding Date. 
  
 (iii) Agent shall not be obligated to
transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting
Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with their Revolver Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so directed by Administrative
Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default had occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced 
  

 4 

 to Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrowers. Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and,
in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to
matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x)
the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Administrative Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, or
(z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the
Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder to
Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Administrative Borrower at its option, upon
written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute
Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation
Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrowers’
rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. 
  
 (d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances. 
  
 (i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied or waived, to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that Agent,
in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations), or (3) to pay any
other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender Group Expenses and the costs, fees, and expenses described in Section 9 (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be
referred to as “Protective Advances”), so long as (y) after giving effect to such Protective Advances (including any Overadvances pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(ii)), Agent shall not knowingly and intentionally permit the
outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) to exceed the Borrowing Base by more than the lesser of (I) $1,500,000, or (II) 10% of the Borrowing Base then in
effect, and (z) after giving effect to such Advances (including any outstanding Protective Advances), the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not
exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. 
  
 (ii) Any contrary
provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances
(including Swing Loans) to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Advances (including any outstanding Protective Advances), Agent shall not knowingly and
intentionally permit the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan 
  

 5 

 Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) to exceed the Borrowing Base by more than the lesser of (x)
$1,500,000, or (y) 10% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, and (B) after giving effect to such Advances (including any outstanding Protective Advances), the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account
for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the
amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or
Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of
arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding paragraph. In such circumstances, if any Lender
with a Revolver Commitment disagrees over the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. Each Lender with a
Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances
made as permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses. 
  
 (iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that all payments on
the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by the Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate
applicable from time to time to Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit any Borrower in any way. 
  
 (e) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of
the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the
benefit of any Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic
basis in accordance with the following provisions: 
  
 (i) Agent
shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to each outstanding Swing Loan, (2) for itself, with
respect to the outstanding Protective Advances, and (3) with respect to Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ Collections received and applied as set forth in this Section, as to each Lender by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or
other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the
“Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans
and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an
amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances), and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including
Swing Loans and Protective Advances) is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and 
  

 6 

 Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the
Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans
and Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Protective Advances and, together with the portion of such
Swing Loans or Protective Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the
extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. 
  
 (ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing
Loans, and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such
balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a net amount is owed to
any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such next Settlement. 
  
 (iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments
received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections of Borrowers
or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay
to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro
Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Lenders)
with respect to the Advances other than Swing Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as
applicable, after taking into account applications in accordance with this Agreement of payments received by Agent between Settlement Dates. 
  
 (f) Notation. Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Advances owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing
Lender, and Protective Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. 
  
 (g) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Swing
Loans and Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to
make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to
perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 2.4 Payments. 
  
 (a) Payments by Borrowers. 
  

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group
and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time), shall be deemed to have been received on the following
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. 
  
 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrowers will not make
such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers do not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 
  
 (b) Apportionment and Application. 
  
 (i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and
except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (or any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the
Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account, after giving effect to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders)
shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee relates. Except as otherwise specifically provided in clause (b)(iii) below or in Section 2.4(d),
all payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied as follows (provided that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall be entitled to apply the
proceeds of Collections to reduce the balance of the Advances outstanding): 
  
 (A) first, ratably to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to Agent or any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
  
 (B) second, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent (for its separate account, after giving effect to
any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) or any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full, provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the priority of the payment of any fee payable to
any Lender in respect of Term Loan B shall, unless the Required Revolver Lenders agree in their sole discretion to forgo deferring such payment, be deferred to item “fourteenth” below, and provided, further that, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the priority of the payment of any fee or premium payable to any Lender in respect of an applicable revolver reduction or prepayment premium shall be deferred to item “seventeenth” below, 

 
 (C) third, to pay interest due in respect of all Protective
Advances until paid in full,

Required Revolver Lenders have not agreed to allow the payment of interest due in respect of the Term Loan B, the priority of payment of interest on Term Loan B shall be deferred to item “fifteenth” below), 
  
 (G) seventh, ratably to pay all principal amounts then due and
payable (other than as a result of an acceleration thereof) with respect to the Term Loan A until paid in full, 
  
 (H) eighth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Required Revolver Lenders agree in their sole discretion, ratably to pay all principal amounts then due and payable (other than as a result of an acceleration thereof) with respect to Term Loan B, until paid in full (if an Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing and the Required Revolver Lenders have not agreed to allow the payment of principal due in respect of Term Loan B, the priority of the payment of principal then due with respect to Term Loan B shall be deferred to item
“sixteenth” below), 
  
 (I) ninth, to pay the
principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full,

 (K) eleventh, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, 
  
 (L) twelfth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Advances
until paid in full, (ii) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a Revolver Commitment, as cash collateral in an amount up to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage until paid in full, and (iii)

applicable Bank Product and prior to the occurrence of, and not in contemplation of, the subject Event of Default until Borrowers’ and its Subsidiaries’ obligations in respect of Bank Products have been paid in full or the cash collateral
amount has been exhausted,

and 
  
 (S) nineteenth, to Borrowers (to be wired to the
Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. 
  
 (ii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject (except with respect to the
Term Loans) to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e). 
  
 (iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this Section 2.4(b) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrowers to Agent and specified by Borrowers to be for the
payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement. 
  
 (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, (other than clause (S)), “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents (other
than contingent indemnification obligations) according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default
interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, except to the extent that default or overdue interest (but not any other interest) and loan fees, each arising from or related to a default, are disallowed in any Insolvency Proceeding;
provided, however, that for purposes of clause (S), “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations) according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service
fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any of the foregoing would be or
is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. 
  
 (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority
provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions
of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern. 
  
 (c)
Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i)
Optional. 
  
 (A) At any time after the Closing Date so
long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (ii) after giving effect thereto, Borrowers have Excess Availability of not less than $3,500,00, upon at least 5 Business Days prior written
notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the principal balance of Term Loan A in whole or in part. Each partial prepayment of Term Loan A shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000 and shall
be applied to the installments due thereunder in the inverse order of their maturity. Concurrent with each such prepayment, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders holding Term Loan A, the applicable prepayment premium
as set forth in the Fee Letter. 
  

 10 

 (B) At any time after the Closing Date and so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) the Term Loan A has been repaid in full, (iii) the Maximum Revolver Amount has been reduced to $10,000,000, and (iv) after giving effect thereto, Borrowers have Excess Availability of not less than
$3,500,000, upon at least 5 Business Days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the principal balance of Term Loan B in whole or in part. Each partial prepayment of Term Loan B shall be in an
amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000. Concurrent with each such prepayment, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders holding Term Loan B, the applicable prepayment premium as set forth in the Fee Letter.

  
 (ii) Mandatory. 
  
 (A) Immediately upon any voluntary or involuntary (including casualty
losses or condemnations) sale or disposition by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries of property or assets (other than sales or dispositions which qualify as Permitted Dispositions), such Borrower shall prepay, without penalty or premium, the
outstanding Obligations in accordance with clause (d) below in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds (including condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof) received by such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions to the
extent that the aggregate amount of such Net Cash Proceeds received by Borrowers and its Subsidiaries (and not paid to Agent as a prepayment of the Obligations) for all such sales or dispositions shall exceed $250,000 in any fiscal year;
provided, however, that, so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, (2) Administrative Borrower shall have given Agent prior written notice of Borrowers’ and their respective
Subsidiaries’ intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the property or assets which are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of any of the
Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries, (3) the monies are held in a cash collateral account in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, (4) Borrowers have Excess Availability of not less than $3,500,000 as of the date on
which Agent receives the notice set forth in clause (2) above, and (5) a Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower completes such replacement, purchase or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, such Borrower shall have
the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the property or assets which are the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of any of the Borrowers or their
respective Subsidiaries unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be
paid to Agent and applied as set forth above. Nothing contained in this subclause (A) shall permit any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any property or assets other than in accordance with Section 6.4. 

 
 (B) Immediately upon the receipt by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries of
any Extraordinary Receipts in any fiscal year, such Borrower shall prepay, without premium or penalty, the outstanding Obligations in accordance with clause (d) below in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable
expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts. 
  
 (C) Immediately upon the issuance or incurrence by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1), or the issuance by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any shares of its or
their Stock (other than Excluded Issuances), such Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Obligations in accordance with clause (d) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Borrower or its Subsidiaries in
connection with such issuance or incurrence. Concurrent with each such prepayment, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable 
  

 11 

 account of the Lenders holding the Obligations prepaid, the applicable prepayment premium as set forth in the Fee Letter.
The provisions of this subsection (C) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 (D) Within 10 days of delivery to Agent and Lenders of audited financial statements pursuant to Section 5.3,
commencing with the delivery to Agent and Lenders of the financial statements for the fiscal year 2005 or, if such financial statements are not delivered to Agent and Lenders on the date such statements are required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.3, 10 days after the date such statements are required to be delivered to Agent and Lenders pursuant to Section 5.3, Borrowers shall prepay, without penalty or premium, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and
the Advances in accordance with clause (d) in an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such fiscal year. 
  
 (d) Application of Mandatory Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii) shall, (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A, until paid in full, second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances with a concurrent permanent reduction in the Maximum Revolver
Amount, until the Maximum Revolver Amount is reduced to $10,000,000, third, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, fourth, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan B, until paid in full, and fifth, to the remaining principal amount of the Advances, until paid in full, and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(i). Each
such reduction of the Maximum Revolver Amount shall reduce the Revolver Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. Each such prepayment of the Term Loan A shall be applied against the remaining
installments of principal of the Term Loan A (if any) in the inverse order of maturity. 
  
 (e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment. 
  
 2.5 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount
of Obligations owed by Borrowers to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.12 is greater than any of the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.12, as applicable (an
“Overadvance”), Borrowers immediately upon demand shall pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
2.4(b). In addition, Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full as and when due and payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

  
 2.6 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates,
Payments, and Calculations. 
  
 (a) Interest Rates.
Except as provided in clause (c) below, all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily
Balance thereof as follows (i) if the relevant Obligation is an Advance, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus 0.25 percentage points, (ii) if the relevant Obligation is the Term Loan A, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus 0.25
percentage points, (iii) if the relevant Obligation is the Term Loan B, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus 4.75 percentage points, and (iv) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus 0.25 percentage points. 

 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.12(e)) which
shall accrue at a rate equal to 3.50% per annum times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. 
  

 12 

 (c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at
the election of Agent or the Required Lenders), 
  
 (i) all
Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2
percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and 
  
 (ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the election of
the Required Term Loan B Lenders (and without the consent of any other Person), the principal of the Term Loan B and all other Obligations due and payable attributable to Term Loan B whether or not charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms
hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable to such Obligations hereunder. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the election of
the Required Revolver Lenders (and without the consent of any other Person), the principal of the Term Loan A and all other Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) due and payable (other than those
attributable to Term Loan B) whether or not charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable to
such Obligations hereunder. 
  
 (d) Payment. Except as
provided to the contrary in the Fee Letter, interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding.
Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, to charge all interest and fees (when due and payable), all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for
in Section 2.12(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs provided for in the Fee Letter (when due and payable or as and when incurred, as the case may be), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan
Document (including the amounts due and payable with respect to the Term Loans and including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve) to Borrowers’ Loan
Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder; provided, that if, at the time that any amounts due in respect of interest on the Term Loan B
are charged to the Loan Account an Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result from such charge to the Loan Account, such amounts shall not constitute Advances but instead shall continue to remain outstanding as amounts due in respect of
the Term Loan B and such amounts shall be compounded and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan B; provided that the failure to make any such payment and the compounding of such interest shall nonetheless constitute an Event of
Default under Section 7.1. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to Borrowers’ Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to
Advances; provided, that if, at the time that any amounts due in respect of interest on the Term Loan B are charged to the Loan Account an Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result from such charge to the Loan Account, such
amounts shall not constitute Advances but instead shall continue to remain outstanding as amounts due in respect of the Term 
  

 13 

 Loan B and such amounts shall be compounded and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan B, provided
that the failure to make any such payment and the compounding of such interest shall nonetheless constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.1. 
  
 (e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base
Rate. 
  
 (f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate.
In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall
be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such
excess. 
  
 2.7 Cash Management. 
  
 (a) Administrative Borrower shall establish and maintain a concentration
account in the name of Agent (“Concentration Account”) on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent at the bank set forth on Schedule 2.7(a) (the “Concentration Account Bank”). 
  
 (b) Borrowers shall and shall cause each of their domestic Subsidiaries to
(i) establish and maintain a collection account or accounts (each, a “Collection Account”) on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 2.7(b) (each, a “Collection
Account Bank”), (ii) request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all of its and its domestic Subsidiaries’ Account Debtors forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to such Collection Accounts
or to the Concentration Account, (iii) subject to Section 6.12, deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than 5 days after the date of receipt thereof, all of their Collections from Restaurants directly to such
Collection Accounts or the Concentration Account, and (iv) instruct each of the Collection Account Banks to forward payment, no later than the earlier of (A) the first Business Day after the date on which the amount in such Collection Account equals
or exceeds $250,000, or (B) once per week, all of the amounts in any Collection Account maintained by such Collection Account Bank directly to the Concentration Account. 
  
 (c) Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their domestic Subsidiaries that receive Collections through credit card
charges to, establish and maintain Credit Card Agreements with Agent and each Credit Card Processor; provided that with respect to American Express, Discover and Diners Club, Borrowers shall instruct in writing that such Credit Card
Processors transfer all amounts payable by them to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the Concentration Account in lieu of delivering a Credit Card Agreement with Agent and such Credit Card Processors. Each such Credit Card Agreement shall provide,
among other things, that each such Credit Card Processor shall transfer all proceeds of credit card charges for sales by such Borrowers or such Subsidiary, as applicable, received by it (or other amounts payable by such Credit Card Processor) into
the Concentration Account on each Business Day (or on such other basis as shall be agreed upon by Agent). Neither any Borrower nor any domestic Subsidiary may change any direction or designation set forth in the Credit Card Agreements regarding
payment of charges without the prior written consent of Agent, and neither any Borrower nor any domestic Subsidiary shall cause the proceeds of credit card charges to be transferred to any Deposit Account other than the Concentration Account.

  

 14 

 (d) As of the Closing Date (subject to Section 3.3(a)), the Concentration Account Bank and each
Collection Account Bank shall establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements or Control Agreements with Agent, in form and substance acceptable to Agent. Each such Cash Management Agreement and Control Agreement shall provide, among other things,
that (i) the applicable Cash Management Bank will comply with any instructions originated by Agent directing the disposition of the funds in the Cash Management Accounts maintained by it without further consent by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries,
as applicable, and (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such Cash Management Accounts other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of
any such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or other items of payment. 
  
 (e) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may amend Schedule 2.7(a) and Schedule 2.7(b) to add or replace a Cash Management Bank or Cash Management Account;
provided, however, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account, a Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and
such prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a Cash Management Agreement or Control Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Borrowers (or their Subsidiaries, as applicable)
shall close any of their Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement cash management accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within 45 days of notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any Cash
Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within 75 days of notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance
of the Cash Management Bank with respect to Cash Management Accounts is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment. 
  
 (f) The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts subject to Cash Management Agreements or Control Agreements (subject to Section
3.3(a)). 
  
 2.8 Crediting Payments; Clearance
Charge. The receipt of any payment item by Agent (whether from transfers to Agent by the Cash Management Banks pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is
a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers
shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent’s
Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any payment item is received into the Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been
received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. From and after the Closing Date, Agent shall be entitled to charge Borrowers for 2 Business Days of ‘clearance’ at the rate then applicable under
Section 2.6 to Advances on all Collections that are received by Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (regardless of whether forwarded by the Cash Management Banks to Agent). This across-the-board 2 Business Day clearance charge on all Collections
of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of the financing of Borrowers and shall apply irrespective of whether or not there are any outstanding monetary Obligations; the
effect of such clearance charge being the equivalent of charging interest on such Collections through the completion of a period ending 2 Business Days after the receipt thereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that the economic benefit of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 shall be for the exclusive benefit of Agent. 
  

 15 

 2.9 Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loans, and
Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.6(d).
Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless
otherwise agreed by Agent and Administrative Borrower, any Advance, Protective Advance, or Swing Loan requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account. 
  
 2.10 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.
Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrowers will be charged with the Term Loans, all Advances (including Protective Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing
Lender, or the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender for Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank
Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.8, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers’
account, including all amounts received in the Agent’s Account from any Cash Management Bank. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Administrative Borrower, including principal, interest, and fees, and including an
itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender
Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Administrative Borrower, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. 
  
 2.11 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, as and when due and
payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter. 
  
 2.12 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an “L/C”) or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or
reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be Wells Fargo) for the
account of Borrowers. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender and Agent via
hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Lender
in its Permitted Discretion and shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof (or the beneficiary of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and (v) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the outstanding Letter of
Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, Borrowers also shall be an applicant under the application with respect to any
Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the issuance of such requested Letter of
Credit: 
  
 (i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the
Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of Advances, or 
  

 16 

 (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $5,000,000, or 
  
 (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount
less the outstanding amount of Advances. 
  
 Borrowers and
the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit)
shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds
under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is
made, if Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Administrative Borrower prior to such time on
such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the Business Day that Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such
reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances under Section 2.6. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is
deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph,
Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.12(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may
appear. 
  
 (b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C
Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested
such Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on
the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolver Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a
participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the
account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (a) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required
to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C
Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to
satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 hereof. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit
as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting
Lender Rate until paid in full. 
  

 17 

 (c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless from any
loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the Lender Group arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be
obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group or by the breach by the Issuing
Lender or any other member of the Lender Group of any of its express obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by
Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower’s account, even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the
Lender Group shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers’ instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.
Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Lender Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of
the Issuing Lender’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Lender Group nor the Issuing Lender shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions
resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit.  
  
 (d) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such
Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application. 
  
 (e) Any and all issuance charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by
the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and
agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time
to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals. 
  
 (f) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change after the Closing Date in the
interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority or monetary authority first issued, made or imposed after the Closing Date, including Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): 
  
 (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or
modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or 
  
 (ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto; 
  
 and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the
Lender Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof 
  

 18 

 by the Lender Group, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional
cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt,
together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate
setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 
  
 2.13 Registered Notes. Agent, as a non-fiduciary on behalf of Borrowers (or in the case of an assignment not
recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 13.1(i), the assigning Lender), agrees to record each Loan on the Register (or in the case of an assignment not recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 13.1(i), a register
comparable to the Register) referred to in Section 13.1(i). Each Loan recorded on the Register (or comparable register) may not be evidenced by promissory notes other than Registered Notes (as defined below). Upon the registration of each
Loan on the Register, each Borrower agrees, at the request of any Lender shown on the Register as the registered owner of such Loan, to execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, in
registered form to evidence such Registered Loan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender, and registered as provided in Section 13.1(i) (a “Registered Note”), payable to such Lender or registered assigns
and otherwise duly completed. Once recorded on the Register (or comparable register), each Loan may not be removed from the Register (or comparable register) so long as it or they remain outstanding, and a Registered Note may not be exchanged for a
promissory note that is not a Registered Note. 
  
 2.14
Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that (i) the adoption after the Closing Date of or change after the Closing Date in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding
companies, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any
guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) first issued or made after the Closing Date, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding
company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may, within
180 days of the date of such adoption, change, or compliance, notify Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and
when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation
was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
  
 2.15 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. 
  
 (a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of
the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender Group under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several
liability for the Obligations. 
  
 (b) Each Borrower, 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 
  

 19 

 respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising
under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. 
  
 (c) If and to the extent that any Borrower 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.

  
 (d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of
this Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of this Agreement against or in respect of the other Borrowers or any other circumstances whatsoever. 
  
 (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice
of any Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by
Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection
with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of
the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term,
covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of
any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act
on the part of any Agent or Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to
comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations
under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by
performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation,
reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or any Agent or Lender. 
  
 (f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all
other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear
upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. 
  
 (g) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation,
has destroyed Agent’s or such Lender’s rights of subrogation and 
  

 20 

 reimbursement against such Borrower by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or
otherwise: 
  
 (h) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses
that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property. This means, among other things: 
  
 (i) Agent and Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any Real or Personal Property Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

  
 (ii) If Agent or any Lender forecloses on any Real Property
Collateral pledged by Borrowers: 
  
 (A) The amount of the
Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price. 
  
 (B) Agent and Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if Agent or Lenders, by foreclosing on the Real Property
Collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers. 
  
 This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any
rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 
  
 (i) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced
by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any such Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of
its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower 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 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though
such payment had not been made. 
  
 (j) Each Borrower hereby
agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to Agent or Lenders
with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor 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 any
Agent or Lender 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 and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary
or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

 21 

 2.16 Securitization. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that each Lender with a Term Loan B (a
“Securitizing Lender”) may securitize the Term Loan B (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Term Loan B as collateral security for loans to such Securitizing Lender or its Affiliates or Related Funds or
through the sale of the Term Loan B or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Term Loan B, which loans to such Securitizing Lender or its Affiliates or Related Funds or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, S&P
or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). Each Borrower agrees to cooperate with such Securitizing Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a)
executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by such Securitizing Lender in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on such Borrower, and (ii)
any such additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or increase the obligations, of such Borrower under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to such Borrower the financial terms of the Term Loan
B, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by such Securitizing Lender in connection with the rating of the Term Loan B or the Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Term Loan B a certificate (i)
agreeing to indemnify such Securitizing Lender and any of its Affiliates and Related Funds, 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 “Securitization Liabilities”) to which such Securitizing Lender or any of its Affiliates or Related Funds, or such Securitization Parties, may become subject
insofar as the Securitization Liabilities arise out of or are based upon a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section 4.18 and (ii) agreeing to reimburse such Securitizing Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds, and such
Securitization Parties, for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Securitization Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) this Section 2.16 is subject to
Borrowers’, Agent’s and the Required Lenders’ rights and obligations under Sections 13, 14, and 15.11 hereof in all respects and, in the event of a direct conflict between this Section 2.16 and any
provision of Section 13, 14 or 15.11 with respect to Borrowers’, Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ rights and obligations, it is the intent of the parties that the applicable provision of Section 13,
14 or 15.11 shall control and govern, and (y) no such Securitization by a Securitizing Lender shall release such Securitizing Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to
such Securitization for such Securitizing Lender as a party hereto.

 3.4 Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on
November 15, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement (other than under Section
16.7) immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. 
  
 3.5 Effect of Termination. On the date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of
Borrowers with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit and including all Bank Product Obligations) immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the
benefit of those Lenders with a Revolver Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) providing cash collateral (in an amount
determined by Agent as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers with respect to the Bank Product Obligations). No termination of this Agreement, however, shall
relieve or discharge Borrowers or their Subsidiaries of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in
full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide
additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of
security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously
filed by Agent with respect to the Obligations. 
  
 3.6
Early Termination by Borrowers. Borrowers have the option, at any time upon 45 days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent and Term Loan B Representative, to terminate this Agreement by paying to Agent, in cash, the
Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolver Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit
to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) providing cash collateral (in an amount determined by Agent as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers with
respect to the Bank Products Obligations) in full, together with the applicable prepayment premium as set forth in the Fee Letter (to be allocated based upon agreements between Agent and individual Lenders). If Administrative Borrower has sent a
notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section, then the Commitments shall terminate and Borrowers shall be obligated to repay the Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit
of those Lenders with a Revolver Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) providing cash collateral (in an amount determined by
Agent as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers with respect to the Bank Products Obligations), in full, together with the applicable prepayment premium as

Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations, Borrowers shall and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to do all of the following:

specified therein.

Certificates. Deliver to Agent, with copies to each Lender, each of the financial statements, reports, or other items set forth on Schedule 5.3 at the time specified therein. In addition, each Borrower agrees that no Subsidiary of
such Borrower will have a fiscal year different from that of Parent. 
  
 5.4 Guarantor Reports. Cause each Guarantor to deliver its annual financial statements at the time when Parent provides its audited financial statements to Agent, but only to the extent such Guarantor’s financial
statements are not consolidated with Parent’s financial statements. 
  
 5.5 Inspection. Permit Agent, each Lender, and each of their duly authorized representatives or agents to visit any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and records, to examine and
make copies of its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances, and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees at such reasonable times and intervals as Agent or any such Lender may designate and, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice to Administrative Borrower. 
  
 5.6 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of their properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct to their
business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear, and casualty excepted (and except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change), and comply at all times in all material
respects with the provisions of all material leases to which it is a party as lessee, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder. 
  

 31 

 5.7 Taxes. Cause all material assessments and taxes, whether real, personal, or otherwise,
due or payable by, or imposed, levied, or assessed against Borrowers, their Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period, except to the extent that the
validity of such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest. Borrowers will and will cause their Subsidiaries to make timely payment or deposit of all material withholding taxes required of them by applicable laws, including those
laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon request, furnish Agent and Term Loan B Representative with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Term Loan B Representative
indicating that the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary of a Borrower has made such payments or deposits. 
  
 5.8 Insurance. 
  
 (a) At Borrowers’ expense, maintain insurance respecting Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ assets wherever located, covering loss or
damage by fire, theft, explosion, and all other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses. Borrowers also shall maintain business interruption, public liability, and product
liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation. All such policies of insurance shall be in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Term Loan B
Representative; provided, however, that if the coverages are substantially similar to those in existence as of the Closing Date, they shall be deemed to be satisfactory; provided further, however, that if Borrowers
request Agent or Term Loan B Representative to approve coverages or insurance companies and such Person does not disapprove such request within 5 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then such Person shall be deemed to have approved such
request. Borrowers shall deliver copies of all such policies of property and liability insurance to Agent and Term Loan B Representative with an endorsement naming Agent as the sole loss payee (under a satisfactory lender’s loss payable
endorsement) or additional insured, as appropriate. Each endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever.

  
 (b) Administrative Borrower shall give Agent and Term Loan B
Representative prompt notice of any loss exceeding $500,000 covered by any such insurance. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall have the exclusive right to adjust any losses payable under any property
insurance policies which are less than $2,500,000. In the case of any losses payable under such property insurance policies exceeding $2,500,000, Agent shall have the right to adjust all such losses, without any liability to Borrowers whatsoever in
respect of such adjustments. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the exclusive right to adjust any losses payable under any such property insurance policies, without any liability to
Borrowers whatsoever in respect of such adjustments. Any monies received as payment for any loss under any such property insurance policy or as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain in excess of $250,000
per fiscal year, shall be paid over to Agent to be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(ii)(A) and Section 2.4(d). 
  
 (c) Borrowers will not and will not suffer or permit their Subsidiaries to take out separate property or liability insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 5.8, unless Agent is included thereon as an additional insured or loss payee under a lender’s loss payable endorsement. Administrative Borrower
promptly shall notify Agent whenever such separate insurance is taken out, specifying the insurer thereunder and, in reasonable detail, the particulars as to the policies evidencing the same, and copies of such policies promptly shall be provided to
Agent. 
  
 5.9 Location of Inventory and Equipment.
Keep Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ Inventory and Equipment (other than vehicles and Equipment out for repair) only at the locations identified on Schedule 4.5 and their chief executive offices only at the locations
identified on Schedule 4.7(b); provided, 
  

 32 

 however, that Administrative Borrower may amend Schedule 4.5 or Schedule 4.7 so long as such
amendment occurs by written notice to Agent and Term Loan B Representative not less than 30 days prior to the date on which such Inventory or Equipment is moved to such new location or such chief executive office is relocated, so long as such new
location is within the continental United States or Hawaii, and so long as, in the case of a leased location, the applicable Borrower or Guarantor uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect
thereto. 
  
 5.10 Compliance with Laws. Comply with
the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Change. 
  
 5.11 Leases.
Pay when due all rents and other material amounts payable under any material leases to which any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties and assets are
bound, unless such payments are the subject of a Permitted Protest. 
  
 5.12 Existence. At all times preserve and keep in full force and effect each Borrower’s and each of their Subsidiaries’ valid existence and good standing (except as a result of a merger or dissolution of a Subsidiary
permitted under Section 6.3) and, except where the failure to preserve and keep the same in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, any rights and franchises material to their businesses.

Borrower, (iv) if the Indebtedness that is refinanced, renewed, or extended was subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, then the terms and conditions of the refinancing, renewal, or extension Indebtedness must include subordination

or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of the business affairs of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 
  
 7.7 If one or more judgments, orders or awards (or any settlement of any claim that, if breached, could result in a
judgment, order or award) involving an aggregate amount of $500,000, or more (except to the extent fully covered by insurance pursuant to which the insurer has accepted liability therefor in writing) shall be entered or filed against any Borrower or
any Subsidiary of a Borrower or with respect to any of their respective assets, and the same is not released, discharged, bonded against, or stayed pending appeal before the earlier of 30 days after the date it first arises or 5 days prior to the
date on which such asset is subject to being forfeited by the applicable Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary; 
  
 7.8 If there is a default in one or more agreements to which any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower is a party with one or more third Persons
relative to Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower involving an aggregate amount of $500,000 or more, and such default (i) occurs at the final maturity of the obligations thereunder, or (ii) results in a right by such third
Person(s), irrespective of whether exercised, to accelerate the maturity of the applicable Borrower’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s obligations thereunder; 
  
 7.9 If any warranty, representation, statement, or Record made herein or in any other Loan Document or delivered to Agent or
the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document proves to be untrue in any material respect as of the date of issuance or making or deemed making thereof; 
  
 7.10 If the obligation of any Guarantor under the Guaranty is limited or terminated by operation of law; 
  
 7.11 If the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document that purports to
create a Lien, shall, for any reason, fail or cease to create a valid and, except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, perfected and first priority Lien on or security interest in the Collateral covered hereby or thereby (other
than with respect to assets having a de minimus value), except (a) as a result of a disposition of the applicable Collateral, or all of the outstanding Stock of any Subsidiary owning the applicable Collateral, in each case, in a transaction
permitted under this Agreement, or (b) as a result of any action or failure to act on the part of Agent; or 
  
 7.12 If any provision of any Loan Document shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof
shall be contested by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a
Borrower, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower shall deny that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Loan Document. 
  

 42

insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities
of any Borrower or Guarantor, if any such event or circumstance could reasonably be expected (after giving effect to any insurance with respect thereto provided by an insurer who has been notified, and has not disputed, the relevant claim for
payment) to result in a Material Adverse Change. 
  
 7.14 If there
is a loss, suspension or revocation of, or failure to renew, any license or permit now held or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and such loss, suspension, revocation or failure to renew could reasonably be expected to

 8. THE LENDER GROUP’S RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES. 
  
 8.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the
occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and without demand) may authorize and instruct Agent to do any one or more of the following on behalf of
the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized by Borrowers: 
  
 (a) Declare all or any portion of the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents,
or otherwise, immediately due and payable; 
  
 (b) Cease advancing
money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, or under any of the Loan Documents; 
  
 (c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group (except as provided in
Section 16.7), but without affecting any of the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; and 
  
 (d) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document. 
  
 The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 7.4 or Section 7.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrowers or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations
then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers. 
  
 8.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other
rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be
deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 
  
 9. TAXES AND EXPENSES. 
  
 If any Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other
amounts payable under such leases) due to third 
  

 43 

 Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the
terms of this Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to any Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set up such reserves against the Borrowing Base or the
Maximum Revolver Amount as Agent deems necessary in its Permitted Discretion to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 5.8 hereof, obtain and maintain
insurance policies of the type described in Section 5.8 and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute
an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the
receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. 
  
 10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION. 
  
 10.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and
nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which any such Borrower may in any way be liable. 

 
 10.2 The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral. Each
Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage
thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) so long as Agent complies
with its obligations, if any, under the Code, all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers. 
  
 10.3 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each
Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees
and disbursements and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is
brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with
respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) with
respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act,
omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified
Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to
indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH
INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. 
  

 44 

 11. NOTICES.

 12. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. 
  
 (a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS

ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. BORROWERS AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 12(b). 
  
 (c) BORROWERS AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER
COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWERS AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

 13. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 
  
 13.1 Assignments and Participations. 
  
 (a) Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) that are Eligible
Transferees all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall
not apply to (i) an assignment to a member of an affiliated group of Lenders so long as the aggregate amount of the assignment being made to such affiliated group meets or exceeds such minimum, and (ii) an assignment and delegation by any Lender to
an Affiliate of a Lender or to any Related Fund); provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 13.1(c) herein, Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the
interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such
Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, (iii) the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $5,000 (if required), and (iv) Assignee has
delivered to the Agent all forms necessary to establish an exemption from withholding Taxes pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.11(b) and 15.11(c), hereof. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the payment of
any fees shall not be required and the Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan
portfolio of the assigning Lender. 
  
 (b) Subject to the
provisions of Section 13.1(c) herein, from and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, payment of the above-referenced
processing fee (if required), and the above-referenced Tax forms (if required) (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3 hereof) and be released from any future 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 and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrowers and the
Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Article 16
and Section 16.7 of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 13.1 to the contrary, (i) a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund without paying any fees required under clause (a) of this Section 13.1
and (ii) a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to a Qualified Affiliate of such Lender or a Qualified Related Fund without (A) providing any notice required under clause (a) of this Section 13.1 or (B) delivering an executed
Assignment and Acceptance to Agent; provided, that (x) Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender until an Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to Agent, (y) the failure of such assigning
Lender to deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to Agent shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment, and (z) an Assignment and Acceptance between an assigning Lender and its Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related
Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance. Any Lender making an assignment to a Qualified Affiliate or a Qualified Related Fund hereby agrees to maintain a comparable register as set forth in Section
13.1(i) below and to require that the Qualified 
  

 47 

 Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund that is the assignee from time to time deliver to such Lender maintaining such
comparable register all documentation necessary or appropriate to evidence such assignee’s exemption from United States withholding tax. 
  
 (d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each
other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such 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 the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (2) such assigning Lender
makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
furnished pursuant hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other 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, (5) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
  
 (e) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the processing fee payment (if
required), the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance (or the assigning Lender’s receipt of a fully executed Assignment and Acceptance, in the case of an assignment from a Lender to one or more of its Qualified Affiliates or Qualified Related
Funds, as to which the assigning Lender has not delivered an Assignment and Acceptance to Agent), and the above-referenced Tax forms (if required), this Agreement, subject to the terms of Sections 13.1(c) and 13.1(i), shall be deemed
to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the
assigning Lender pro tanto. 
  
 (f) Any Lender may at any
time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that
Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent, and the Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Originating Lender shall transfer or grant any
participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with
respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which
such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant
is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable 
  

 48 

 to such Participant through such Lender, or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or
prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no
Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the Collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the
Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. 
  
 (g) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section
16.7, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. 
  
 (h) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or
pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR § 203.24 or any other Person,
including, without limitation, as provided in Section 2.16, in each case without the consent of any party hereto, and such Person may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law; provided that no such
pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party (or any transferee thereof) for such Lender as a party hereto unless such pledgee or secured party
(or transferee) becomes a Lender hereunder. 
  
 (i) The Agent
shall, on behalf of and acting as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name of a Lender as the registered owner of each Loan held by
such Lender and the principal amount of such Loans (with stated interest thereon). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Loan to a Qualified Affiliate of such Lender or a Qualified Related Fund of such
Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(c) that is not disclosed to Agent (i) 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) and (ii) 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) on the Register, Borrowers and Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the
owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Loan to a Qualified Affiliate of such Lender
or a Qualified Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 13.1(c) hereof, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.
Administrative Borrower shall have the right to inspect the Register at any time and from time to time, upon reasonable notice. 
  

 49 

 (j) In the event that a Lender sells participations in any Loan hereunder, such Lender, on behalf of
Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Loans held by it and the principal amount (with stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Loans which are the subject of the participation (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 Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 
  
 13.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent (other than an
assignment by a Borrower which is a Subsidiary of Parent as a matter of law pursuant to a merger or dissolution permitted by Section 6.3) and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the
Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof and, except as expressly required
pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 
  
 14. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 
  
 14.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than Bank Product
Agreements), and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and
Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Borrowers) and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver,
amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders affected thereby and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Borrowers), do any of the following: 
  
 (a) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender, 
  
 (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest,
fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, 
  
 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, 
  
 (d) change the Pro Rata Share that is required to take any action hereunder,

  
 (e) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this
Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders, 
  
 (f) other than as permitted by Section 15.12, release Agent’s Lien in and to any of the Collateral, 
  
 (g) change the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Revolver Lenders,” “Required Term Loan B Lenders” or “Pro
Rata Share,” 
  
 (h) contractually subordinate any of the
Agent’s Liens, 
  

 50 

 (i) other than as permitted by Section 15.12, release any Borrower or any Guarantor from any
obligation for the payment of money, 
  
 (j) change the definition
of Borrowing Base or the definitions of Availability, Maximum Revolver Amount, Term Loan A Amount, or Term Loan B Amount or change Section 2.1(b), or 
  
 (k) amend any of the provisions of Section 15. 
  
 and, provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as
applicable, affect the rights or duties of Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release
of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrowers, shall not require consent
by or the agreement of Borrowers. 
  
 Lenders have executed the Agreement Among
Lenders pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to certain voting arrangements relative to matters requiring the approval of Lenders. The rights and duties of Lenders (vis-à-vis each other and not vis-à-vis Borrowers or
any of their Subsidiaries), with respect to such matters, are subject to the Agreement Among Lenders. 
  
 14.2 Replacement of Holdout Lender. 
  
 (a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a
Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more
substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which
date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. 
  
 (b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of
the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or
fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender
shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (other than Bank Product Obligations), the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to
its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 14.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in
exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or
diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.

 15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 
  
 15.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFF as its
representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 (other than Sections 15.9, 15.11, and 15.12(a)) are solely for the benefit
of Agent, and the Lenders, and Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for
convenience only, that WFF is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to
exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a)
maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) 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 the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as
provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such Deposit Accounts and cash management arrangements as
Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other
rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrowers, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay
such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
  
 15.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that
it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 15.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or any breach by it of its express obligations under the Loan Documents), or (b) be responsible in any manner 
  

 52 

 to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrowers or the books or records or properties of any of Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
  
 15.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent
accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as
it deems appropriate. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
  
 15.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest,
fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Administrative
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default
of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any
notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided,
however, that if an event occurs or a circumstance exists that materially and imminently threatens the ability of Agent and the Lenders to realize upon any material part of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal,
concealment or abscondment thereof, destruction (other than to the extent covered by insurance) or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrowers after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage with respect
thereto, Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable; provided that Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contact Term Loan B
Representative regarding the taking of such action. 
  
 15.6
Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, 
  

 53 

 prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person
party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any
other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent Related Persons.

  
 15.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent
may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees
and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain
the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such Lender Group Expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by Agent or otherwise by Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and without limiting
the obligation of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent
Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance
or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and
consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 
  
 15.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. WFF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits
from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as
though WFF were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, WFF or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to
the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a 
  

 54 

 waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent
shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFF in its individual capacity. 
  
 15.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the Lenders and Administrative
Borrower. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent
from among the Lenders. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or unless the proposed successor Agent is Ableco, no successor Agent may be appointed by the Required Lenders or the Agent without the prior consent of the
Administrative Borrower (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers,
and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 45
days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. 
  
 15.10
Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the
other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person
party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and
in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Swing
Loans and Protective Advances, Swing Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the sub-agent of Agent. 
  
 15.11 Withholding Taxes. 
  
 (a) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or under any note or other
Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or
withholding of Taxes is required, each Borrower shall comply with the penultimate sentence of this Section 15.11(a). “Taxes” shall mean, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever
nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein measured by or based on the net income or net profits of Lender) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to pay the full amount
of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or 
  

 55 

 Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 15.11(a) after withholding or deduction for or
on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from a Lender’s own
willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach by such Lender of its express obligations under the Loan Documents (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Borrower will furnish to Lender as promptly as possible after the
date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by any Borrower. 
  
 (b) If a Lender is entitled to an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a
Lender party to an Assignment and Acceptance to a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund not delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(c) and not recorded in the Register, to the assigning Lender), for the benefit of Agent or the
assigning Lender, as applicable, and for the benefit of and for delivery by the Agent to the Borrowers: 
  
 (i) if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8IMY
before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable; 
  
 (ii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with
a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8IMY before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or the assigning
Lender, as applicable; or 
  
 (iii) such other form or forms,
including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from United States withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other
time reasonably requested by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Lender may provide a form W-8IMY, where applicable, with appropriate forms attached thereto. 
  

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid
any claimed exemption. 
  
 (c) If a Lender is entitled to an
exemption or reduction from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Lender party to an Assignment and Acceptance not delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(c)
and not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender), for the benefit of Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, and for the benefit of and delivery by the Agent to Borrowers, any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of
such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or the Assigning Lender, as applicable, or
the Administrative Borrower. 
  
 Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent or
the assigning Lender, as applicable, of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption. 
  
 (d) If any Lender claims exemption from withholding tax and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of
the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender (other than to an Affiliate or a Related Fund), such Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in 
  

 56 

 which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage
amount, Agent and Borrowers will treat such Lender’s documentation provided pursuant to Sections 15.11(b) or 15.11(c) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Lender may provide new documentation, pursuant
to Sections 15.11(b) or 15.11(c), if applicable. 
  
 (e) If the forms or other documents required by clause (b) or clause (c) of this Section 15.11 are not delivered in accordance therewith, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing
such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 
  
 (f) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent or any Borrower did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any
Lender due to a failure on the part of the Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the proper Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from,
or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent or such Borrower, as the case may be, harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent or such Borrower, as the case may
be, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent or such Borrower, as the case may be, under this Section 15.11, together with all costs and
expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 
  
 (g) If a Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax
pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, such Lender shall so notify the Agent and thereby represents and warrants to Agent as of the date it first becomes a Lender hereunder that it is not (A) a “bank” as described in Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a 10% shareholder of any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) or the IRC, (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, or (D) a
disregarded entity as defined in section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations. 
  
 (h) No Lender will make an assignment to a prospective Lender that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of IRC Section 7701(a)(30) unless such prospective Lender is exempt from United States
withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder as of the date of such assignment. No Lender will sell a participation to a prospective participant that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of IRC Section 7701(a)(30)
unless such prospective participant is exempt from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments under such participation as of the date of such participation. 
  
 15.12 Collateral Matters. 
  
 (a) Upon any sale or disposition of any property permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement and receipt of a
certification from the Administrative Borrower that such sale or disposition is so permitted, Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Borrowers, execute all documents as are reasonably necessary to release the Agent’s Liens on such
property and return to the Borrowers such property to the extent it is in Agent’s possession. Upon any sale or disposition of all of the outstanding Stock of any Subsidiary permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement and receipt of a
certification from the Administrative Borrower that such sale or disposition is so permitted, Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Administrative Borrower, execute all documents as are reasonably necessary to release such Subsidiary from
its obligations under the Loan Documents and to release the Agent’s Liens in all property of such Subsidiary. 
  
 (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion (subject to its obligations under Section 15.12(a)
above), (i) to release any Lien on any Collateral 
  

 57 

 (A) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations, (B)
constituting property being sold or disposed of if Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without
further inquiry), (C) constituting property in which no Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (D) constituting property leased to a Borrower or its Subsidiaries
under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; and (ii) to release any Subsidiary of any Borrower (all of the Stock of which is being sold or disposed of) from its obligations under the Loan
Documents, and to release any Liens on the property of such Subsidiary, if Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may
rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral or release any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower from its obligations
under the Loan Documents, without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon
request by Agent or Administrative Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular Collateral, or any such Subsidiary, pursuant to this Section 15.12. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided in any clause of this Section 15.12, (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence any such release on terms that, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose Agent to
liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien or Subsidiary without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations
(other than as against any Subsidiary expressly being released) or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including, the proceeds of any sale, all
of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are 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 Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to
the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or
liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. 
  
 15.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 
  
 (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the
extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers or any deposit accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the
Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise
enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
  
 (b)
If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from
Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such
endorsements as may be 
  

 58 

 required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the
Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so
that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from
it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that
such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such

 15.17 Field Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to

 (a) is deemed to have requested
that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent
shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports, 
  
 (b) expressly
agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, 
  
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive
audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the books and records of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, as well as
on representations of Borrowers’ personnel, 
  
 (d) agrees to
keep all Reports and other material information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 16.7, and 
  

 59 

 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement,
agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans
or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and
protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by
Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
  
 In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Person a copy of
any report or document provided by Borrowers to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrowers to such Person, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Person, (y) to the extent that
Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrowers, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Person’s notice
to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Administrative Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Person, and, upon receipt thereof from Administrative Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of
same to such Person, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender. 
  
 15.18 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter
may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several
(and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective
Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as
provided in Section 16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to
fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

  
 15.19 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product
Provider shall be deemed a party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents
consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, Agent shall be entitled
to assume no amounts are due to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has notified Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it prior to such distribution. 
  
 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
  
 16.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrowers, Agent,
and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof. 
  

 60 

 16.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience
only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 
  
 16.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or
Borrowers, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly
the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 
  
 16.4
Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
  
 16.5 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission 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 telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission 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. 
  
 16.6 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer
to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent
conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such
Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses,
and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrowers or Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 
  
 16.7 Confidentiality. Agent and Lenders each individually (and
not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential
manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement or, in the case of any Lender that owns or controls (other than in its capacity as a lender to such business) a business that is a
competitor of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, used for any purpose other than the evaluation, administration, or enforcement of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, except that such information may be disclosed: (a) to
attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group, (b) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such
Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 16.7, (c) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be
agreed to in advance by Administrative Borrower or its Subsidiaries or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to
the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective 
  

 61 

 participations, or pledge or prospective pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that any
such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, and
(g) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. The provisions of this Section 16.7 shall survive for 2 years after the payment in full of the Obligations. 
  
 16.8 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. 
  
 16.9 Parent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all
Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower 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 Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the
benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit 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 Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an
accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result thereof. Each
Borrower 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 Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all
liability, out-of-pocket expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, to the extent arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and
Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Lender Group hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers
will have no liability to the relevant member of the Lender Group under this Section 16.9 with respect to any liability to the extent it has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such member of the Lender Group or any breach by such member of the Lender Group of its express obligations under the Loan Documents.
