the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans, or on the date of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing consisting

 (d) Agent’s Right to Reimbursement with Interest.
Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such Pro Rata Share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Pro Rata Share available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for

Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes
of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of a default hereunder by such
Lender. 
 (e) Each Lender Individually Responsible. The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it as
part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be
made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

Loan Borrowings, the remaining Commitments shall terminate on the date of such fourth Term Loan Borrowing after the Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to such Term Loan Borrowing. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall
terminate in full on the Commitment Termination Date. 
 (b) Optional Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any
time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the then unused Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and
(ii) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Commitment of each Lender. 
 (c)
Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.05(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or
reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.05(c) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments
shall be made ratably (based upon their Pro Rata Shares) among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Term Loans. 
 (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan owing to each Lender from the date of such Term Loan until such principal amount shall be
paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate Loans. During such periods as such Term
Loan is a Base Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of
each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Loan shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (ii) Eurodollar Rate Loans. During such periods as such Term Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Term Loan to the sum of
(x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Term Loan plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration
of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be Converted or paid in full. 

  
 20 

 (b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest
on any Term Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, payable on
demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Term Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Term Loan as provided in Section 2.06(a) or (ii) in the case of any overdue interest, fees and other amounts, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in clause (a)(i) of this
Section. 
 (c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period,” the Agent shall give notice to the
Borrower and Lenders of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above. 
 SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Determination. 
 (a) Eurodollar Rate
Inadequate. If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Super-Majority Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Term Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Super-Majority Lenders of
making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (b) Failure of Borrower to Select Type or Interest
Period. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Term Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to,
Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of
any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Term
Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be deemed to be Eurodollar Rate Loans with a one-month Interest Period. 
 (c) [Intentionally Omitted] 

  
 21 

 (d) Conversion Due to Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
Convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended. 
 SECTION 2.08. Optional Conversion of Term Loans.
The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuation with respect to Conversions or continuations
into Eurodollar Rate Loans and on the date of the proposed Conversion with respect to conversions into Base Rate Loans and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.13, Convert or continue all Term Loans of one Type comprising
the same Borrowing into Term Loans of the other (or for continuations, same) Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loans, any Conversion of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.01, and no Conversion or continuation of any Term Loans shall result in
more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion or continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion or continuation, (ii) the
Term Loans to be Converted or continued, and (iii) if such Conversion or continuation is into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Eurodollar Rate Loan. Each notice of Conversion or continuation shall
be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Term Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower
shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment. 

SECTION 2.10. Optional Prepayments of Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon at least two Business Days’ notice (in the case of
Eurodollar Rate Loans) or upon notice (in the case of Base Rate Loans) given on the date of such prepayment, in each case received not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such date to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate
principal amount of the prepayment, which notice shall be irrevocable, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay for the ratable account of the Lenders, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans comprising
part of the same Borrowing(s), together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, that a notice of prepayment of all outstanding Term Loans may state that such notice is conditioned upon
the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided further, however,
that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.11. 

  
 22 

 SECTION 2.11. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with
respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any Eurodollar Rate Loan is Converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan for a new Interest Period (pursuant to Article II or VI or otherwise) on any day other than the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to make a Term Loan) to borrow, prepay (except as otherwise permitted hereunder), Convert or continue any Eurodollar Rate
Loan after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.02(a), 2.08 or 2.10 or pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period,” the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15
days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective participant in the related Term Loan), including (without limitation) any actual loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from
third parties, but excluding loss of anticipated profits and margin for the period after any such payment or Conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, Convert or continue; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. 
 (a) General. If, due to any Change
in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes
or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of any taxes described in Section 2.15(a)(i) or (ii)), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon written
notice and written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost, such increased cost to be determined
by such Lender using its customary methods therefor (and, if such Lender uses from time to time more than one such method, the method chosen for application hereunder shall be that method which most accurately determines such increased cost);
provided that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 150 days prior to the date such Lender first notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand compensation hereunder. A certificate as to the amount
of such increased cost (demonstrating in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such Lender to determine such estimated increased cost), submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error. 
 (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such
Lender, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or the Term Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of any corporation controlling such Lender with respect to capital or liquidity requirements) then, upon written notice and written demand by such Lender (with a
copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation for any reduction suffered in light of such
circumstances; provided that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 150 days prior to the 

  
 23 

 
date such Lender first notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand compensation hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts (demonstrating in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such
Lender to determine such estimated increased cost) submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its
obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (b) the
obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to Convert Term Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 SECTION 2.14. Payments and Computations. 
 (a) General Provisions. The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on
the day when due in dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or undrawn commitment fees ratably, based
upon the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.11, 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(b)), to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending
Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance
of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all
payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignor thereunder for amounts that have accrued to but excluding the effective date of such assignment, and to the Lender assignee for amounts that
have accrued from and after the effective date of such assignment. 
 (b) Basis of Calculation. All computations of
undrawn commitment fees and interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate shall be made by the Agent on the
basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Payments Due on Non-Business
Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in
the computation of payment of interest or undrawn commitment fee, as the 

  
 24 

 
case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause (i) any payment to be made after the Maturity Date or (ii) payment of interest on or principal of
Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
 (d) Agent Entitled to Assume Payments Made. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower
will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount
equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 (e) Order of Application. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agent) payable pursuant to this Agreement to the
Agent in its capacity as such, (ii) second, towards payment of fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause second payable to them, (iii) third, towards payment of interest then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due to such parties, and
(iv) fourth, towards payment of principal of the Term Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(f) Application of Funds to Lender’s Obligations. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or 2.14(d), then the Agent may, in its discretion notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by it for the account of such Lender to satisfy such
Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application
to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion. 

SECTION 2.15. Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or Parent to or for the account of any Lender, the Agent or any other Person hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents
to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender, the 

  
 25 

 
Agent or such other Person, (i) taxes imposed on (or measured by) its overall net income, net profits or net worth, and franchise or similar taxes, by the United States of America or by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, the Agent or such other Person (as the case may be) is organized or is otherwise doing business, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on (or measured
by), in whole or in part, its overall net income, net profits or net worth, and franchise or similar taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (including, without limitation, any
withholding of taxes described in this Section 2.15(a)(i) that is treated under applicable law as a prepayment of taxes), (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other
jurisdiction in which such Person is located, (iii) any taxes imposed as a result of such Person’s willful misconduct, (iv) in the case of a Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under
Section 2.18(b)), any U.S. withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Lender by any law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), except to the
extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new Applicable Lending Office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this
Section 2.15(a), (v) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, (vi) in the case of an Agent, any U.S. withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Agent by any law in effect at the time such Agent
becomes a party to this Agreement solely as a result of such Agent being organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (vii) taxes attributable to its failure to comply
with Section 2.15(f), (g), (i) or (j) and (viii) any interest, penalties or additions to tax imposed on any taxes described in Sections 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or
(v) (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities with respect thereto not excluded under Section 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
(vii) or (viii) in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or Parent shall be required by
law to deduct any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, or any liabilities with respect thereto, from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder to any Lender
or the Agent, (i) to the extent such deduction is for Taxes or Other Taxes (as hereinafter defined), the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower
or Parent (as applicable) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or Parent (as applicable) shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower or Parent shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder, excluding, however, such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment following the primary syndication (other than an assignment that occurs as a result of the
Borrower’s request pursuant to Section 2.18) that would not have been imposed but for a present or former connection 

  
 26 

 
between any Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than solely on account of the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount, without duplication, of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes of any kind
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties and interest) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor and provides appropriate computational and, to the extent available, documentary support.

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower
shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent that such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof
that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any governmental authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Note
or any other documents to be delivered hereunder, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (but only to the extent that the Borrower and Parent have not already indemnified the Agent for such
taxes and other liabilities and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or Parent to do so), whether or not such taxes or other liabilities were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
this Agreement or any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e). 

(f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under the
Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(g), (h) and (i) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender. 

  
 27 

 (g) Each Lender that is not a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Internal Revenue Code (a “Foreign Lender”), shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of
the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully
able to do so), provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with (i) two duly completed and properly executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any applicable successor form, as the case may be,
certifying that such Foreign Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United States
federal withholding tax under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 and two duly completed and properly executed
originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or any applicable successor form, or (iii) to the extent such Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two duly completed and properly executed originals of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-9, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 or F-4, and/or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. 
 (h) If a payment made to
a Lender hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent
as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (i) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (other than persons that are corporations or otherwise exempt from United
States backup withholding tax), shall deliver at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed by applicable law, to each of the Borrower and the Agent (as applicable) two original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue
Service Forms W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding tax on payments made hereunder. 

  
 28 

 (j) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to
Section 2.15(f), (g), (h) or (i) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal
inability to do so. 
 (k) For the avoidance of doubt, for any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the
Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(g) or (i) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate
or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under Section 2.15(g) or (i)), such Lender shall not be entitled to increased payments or
indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to taxes or Other Taxes imposed by reason of such failure; provided, however, that the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably
request (at the sole expense of such Lender) to assist the Lender to recover such taxes or Other Taxes (it being understood, however, that the Borrower shall have no liability to such Lender in respect of such taxes or Other Taxes). 

(l) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made by such indemnifying party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to
this paragraph (l) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (l), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (l) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in
a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. 
 Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall require any Lender or the Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be
confidential). 
 SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other Lenders to the extent 

  
 29 

 
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term
Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section 2.16 shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 2.17. Notes. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent)
to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Loans owing to, or to be made by, such Lender,
the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender.

 SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lender. If (i) any Lender requests, or provides notice to the Borrower that it intends to request,
compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iii) any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which 

  
 30 

 
consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Term Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a material reduction in
such compensation or payments and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the status of such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender, such assignment, together with any assignments by other Non-Consenting Lenders, will enable the
Borrower to obtain sufficient consents to cause the applicable amendment, modification or waiver to become effective. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION
2.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a); and 

(b) such Defaulting Lender and all of its Term Loans and Commitments, as applicable, shall be excluded for purposes of determining whether
the Required Lenders or Super-Majority Lenders, as applicable, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01); provided, that this clause
(b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 8.01 for which the consent of all Lenders or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby
is required; 
 In the event that the Agent and the Borrower each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all
matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Term Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Term Loans
in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender may have arising from such
Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 (u) Liens not otherwise permitted by the foregoing clauses of this Section 5.08 securing
obligations in an aggregate principal or face amount at any date not to exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, for the purposes of this Section 5.08(u), with respect to any such secured Indebtedness of a
non-wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent with no recourse to Parent or any wholly-owned Subsidiary thereof, only that portion of such Indebtedness reflecting Parent’s pro rata ownership interest therein shall be included in calculating compliance
herewith. 
 SECTION 5.09. Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. 

(a) Neither Parent nor the Borrower will (i) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise
transfer, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person; provided that the Borrower may merge with another Person if the Borrower is the entity surviving such merger (except in the case of a merger of the
Borrower with Parent, in which case Parent may be the surviving entity) and, after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (b) The Borrower will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consolidate or merge with any other Person (except with the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary, but subject to the provisions
of Sections 5.07 and 5.09(a)) or sell all or substantially all of their respective assets (except to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary, subject to the provisions of Section 5.07, or except as a Permitted MLP
Asset Transfer) if, after giving effect thereto, (i) any Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) such consolidation, merger or sale of assets, taken as a whole together with all other consolidations,
mergers and sales of assets by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Effective Date, shall result in the disposition by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of assets in an amount that would constitute all or substantially
all of the consolidated assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. 

(c) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, (i) sell any of the Equity Securities of Texas
Eastern or Algonquin to any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or (ii) sell all or substantially all of the assets of Texas Eastern or Algonquin. 
  

  
 41 

 SECTION 5.10. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made under this
Agreement will be used by the Borrower for its and its Subsidiaries’ general company purposes, including acquisitions and to refinance existing Indebtedness of the Parent, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. None of such proceeds will
be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 

SECTION 5.11. Transactions with Affiliates. Parent or the Borrower will not, and the Borrower will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay any funds to or for the account of, make any investment in, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect, any transaction with, any
Affiliate (other than Parent, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) unless such transaction is on terms and conditions reasonably fair to Parent, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in the good faith judgment of the Borrower or Parent;
provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.11 shall not prohibit Parent, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary from (i) declaring or making any lawful distribution so long as, after giving effect thereto,
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result therefrom, (ii) issuing and maintaining letters of credit, guaranties and sureties as contingent obligations on behalf of Affiliates, (iii) making any Permitted
MLP Asset Transfer, (iv) the payment of funds and making of capital contributions, loans and other transfers of money to Affiliates or to other Persons on behalf of such Affiliates, including payments made under letters of credit, guaranties
and surety bonds issued and maintained on behalf of Affiliates, provided that the aggregate amount for all such payments and transfers referred to in this clause (iv) does not exceed $500,000,000 at any time outstanding
(calculated at such time after giving effect to any repayments to the Borrower by, or on behalf of, such Affiliates for any such payment of funds and making of capital contributions, loans and other transfers of money) or (v) any transaction
permitted by Section 5.09(a) or by either of the parenthetical provisions in Section 5.09(b). 
 SECTION
5.12. Indebtedness/Capitalization Ratio. Neither Parent nor the Borrower will permit the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated Capitalization to exceed 65% at the end of any fiscal quarter of Parent. 

SECTION 5.13. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Board of Managers of the Borrower may at any time designate any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than Texas Eastern and Algonquin) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Event of Default or Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with Section 5.12 (as though the effective
date of such designation were the last day of a fiscal quarter of the Borrower) and, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such designation, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, its
Treasurer or its Controller setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance), (iii) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it was previously designated an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, (iv) no Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, (v) no Subsidiary that owns any Equity Securities or Indebtedness of, or owns or holds any Lien on, any property of the Borrower or
any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated), may be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) each Subsidiary to be so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and its Subsidiaries, has not at
the time of designation, and does not 

  
 42 

 
thereafter, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness pursuant to which the lender or other creditor has recourse
to any assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the Equity Securities in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, and (vii) no primary operating Subsidiary of the Borrower may be designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. If, at any time, any Unrestricted
Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter automatically cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and shall constitute a Restricted Subsidiary for all purposes of this Agreement, and (among
other things) any Indebtedness and Liens of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as of such date. 
 ARTICLE VI

the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 90 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation,
the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or Parent, the Borrower or any of its Material Restricted

 ARTICLE VII 

THE AGENT 

SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required
to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated by this Agreement that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 8.01), and (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent, the Borrower or any of
the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by it or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by
the Borrower or a Lender. The Agent agrees to promptly make available to each Lender all information delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 5.01, and the Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by
the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 45 

 SECTION 7.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an
assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
this Agreement on the part of Parent or the Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Parent or the Borrower; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting
upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram or electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 

SECTION 7.03. Bank of America and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Term Loans made by it and the Note issued to it,
Bank of America 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 Agent; and the terms “Lender” or “Lenders”, shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include Bank of America in its individual capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any
kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own Equity Securities of the Borrower or any such Affiliate, all as if Bank of America were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity
other than as Agent. 
 SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 

  
 46 

 SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Notes then held by each of them (or if no Notes are at the time outstanding or if any Notes are held by Persons that are not Lenders, ratably
according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN
PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE AGENT (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the
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, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party. 
 SECTION 7.06. Successor
Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, (i) the Borrower,
with the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required
Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, the Agent’s resignation shall become effective
on the Resignation Effective Date. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of
the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement provided that if such successor Agent shall have been appointed without the consent of the Borrower, such successor Agent may
be replaced by the Borrower with the consent of the Required Lenders so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 

SECTION 7.07. Syndication Agent and Lead Arranger. The Syndication Agent and the Lead Arranger, in their respective capacities as
such, shall not have any duties or obligations of any kind under this Agreement. 

  
 47 

 SECTION 7.08. Sub-Agents. The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of
the preceding paragraphs and the provisions of Section 8.04 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 8.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, nor consent to any

adversely affected by such amendment, waiver or modification.

thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses of a single counsel for the Agent, and of a single local counsel to the Agent in each
appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and of such other counsel retained by the Agent with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and of such other counsel retained by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder,

 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lead Arranger and each
Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred by
or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in
connection therewith) the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE
COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal expenses of one
firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified
Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel
for such affected Indemnified Party) and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related legal or other expenses to the extent (i) they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified
Party, (ii) they arise out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any
other Indemnified Party or (iii) they consist of any taxes, which shall be governed by Sections 2.12 and 2.15. The parties hereto agree not to assert, and hereby waive on behalf of their respective Affiliates, the holders of their
Equity Securities and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against any party hereto (including, without limitation, Parent, the Borrower, the Agent
or any Lender), any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions
contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence. 
 (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

 SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Parent or the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Parent or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note
held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, after any such set-off and application, provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) that such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than
Section 2.01, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Parent nor the
Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted assignment by Parent or the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). 

SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. 
 (a) (i)Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (a)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Assignee) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Term Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

 (A) the Borrower; provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless
it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 
 (B) the Agent; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 

As used herein, “Ineligible Assignee” means (a) a natural person, (b) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and
operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Assignee if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose
of acquiring any 

  
 51 

 
Term Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or
purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business,
(c) Parent, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (d) a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this
clause (d). 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Term Loans of any Type, the amount of the Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent
of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part, and a constant and not varying percentage, of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any
Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the
Borrower and its Affiliates or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

 (iii) Subject to acceptance of any Assignment and Acceptance and recording thereof in the Register by the
Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and 8.04). Any assignment or transfer by a 

  
 52 

 
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 8.07 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (b) By executing
and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) 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 instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial
condition of Parent or the Borrower or the performance or observance by Parent or the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it
has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and 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; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the 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; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under
this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (c) Upon its receipt of an
Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower; provided that if either the assigning
Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or 2.14(d), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information
contained therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such assignee in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained
by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be
in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. 

  
 53 

 (d) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at
its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of
the Term Loans owing to, each Lender (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No
Commitment, Term Loan or Note shall be transferred by any Lender unless such transfer is entered in the Register. 
 (e) Each
Lender may, with the consent (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other
than an Ineligible Assignee, in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Term Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it);
provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no Participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent
subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections
2.15(g), (h) and (i) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.15(g), (h) and (i) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.18 as if it
were an assignees under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04, with respect to any participation, than its
participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations 

  
 54 

 
under this Agreement or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Term Loans or its other obligations hereunder or under
any Note or any other documents to be delivered under this Agreement) to any Person other than the Borrower except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register. 
 (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment, designation or participation or proposed assignment,
designation or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates furnished to such
Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential
information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates received by it from such Lender. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other
provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it),
including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 SECTION 8.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note (if any) shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York County, Borough of
Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such federal or state court, for purposes of all suits, actions or legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that each of the
parties hereto agrees that (i) a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law and (ii) the Agent and
each of the Lenders retain the right to bring actions or proceedings against Parent or the Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any agreement related to collateral provided hereunder
that is governed by laws other than the law of the State of New York or with respect to any collateral subject thereto. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

  
 55 

 SECTION 8.09. Execution in Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE FEE LETTER TOGETHER
CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. 
 SECTION 8.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR THE ACTIONS OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. 

SECTION 8.11. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies Parent and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot
Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Parent and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Parent and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Parent and
the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 8.12. Headings. Article, Section and other headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 8.13. Confidentiality. 
 (a) The Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors,
officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis), (ii) to the extent requested by any governmental authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations, (iv) to the extent
required by any subpoena or similar legal process provided that, in such case and in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Agent or such Lender as applicable shall use reasonable efforts, consistent
with its normal practices, to notify the Borrower promptly thereof prior to disclosure of such Information, to the extent it is not prohibited from doing so by any law or regulation or by such subpoena or legal process, (v) to

  
 56 

 
any other party to this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights
hereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.13, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that such actual or prospective assignee or Participant will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and informed on a
need-to-know basis) or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (it being understood that such actual or prospective counterparty will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis), (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information
(A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.13 or (B) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower unless the Agent or
such Lender, as applicable, shall have actual knowledge that such source was required to keep such Information confidential. For the purposes of this Section 8.13, “Information” means all information received from Parent
or the Borrower relating to Parent or the Borrower or their respective business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent or the Borrower; provided
that, in the case of information received from Parent or the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is either clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or should, because of its nature, reasonably be understood to be
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 (b) Each
Lender acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information concerning Parent, the Borrower and its Affiliates or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 

(c) All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Parent, the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to, or in the
course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about Parent, the Borrower and its Affiliates or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to
Parent, the Borrower and the Agents that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable
law, including Federal and state securities laws. 

  
 57 

 SECTION 8.14. Conversion of Currencies. 

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another
currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be
purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 
 (b)
The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any
sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such
loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 8.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 

ARTICLE IX 

GUARANTEE 

SECTION 9.01. The Guarantee. Parent hereby guarantees to each Lender and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns the
prompt payment in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all principal of and interest on the Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and all interest thereon payable by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Agent by the Borrower under this Agreement, strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Parent hereby further agrees that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Parent will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such
extension or renewal. 
 SECTION 9.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Parent under
Section 9.01 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein,
or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section that the obligations of Parent hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of Parent hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 

  
 58 

 (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to Parent, the time for
any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
 (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted; 

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall
be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or 
 (iv) any lien or security interest
granted to, or in favor of, the Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected. 
 With respect to its obligations under this Article, Parent hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Agent or any
Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. 
 SECTION 9.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of Parent under this Article shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a
result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Parent agrees that it will indemnify the Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses of counsel retained by the
Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise), including any such fees, charges and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment
constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
 SECTION
9.04. Subrogation. Parent hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or
remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 9.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 SECTION 9.05. Remedies. Parent agrees that, as between Parent on the one hand and the Agent and the Lenders on the
other, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VI (and shall be 

  
 59 

 
deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VI) for purposes of Section 9.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and
payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by Parent for purposes of Section 9.01. 
 SECTION 9.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Parent hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any
Lender or the Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by Parent in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion action under New York CPLR Section 3213. 

SECTION 9.07. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed
Obligations whenever arising.

other lenders (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), outstanding on the Maturity

 The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan from the date of such Term Loan

 Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds. Each Term Loan owing to the
Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto that is part of this Promissory
Note; provided that the failure to make a notation of any such Term Loan or payment made on this Promissory Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to payments of principal of or
interest on this Promissory Note. 
 This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits
of, the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Term Loans by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the dollar amount first
above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Term Loan by the Lender being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain
stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified. 
 This Promissory Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

  
 Exhibit A-1

 As provided in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such federal
or state court, for purposes of all suits, actions or legal proceedings arising out of or relating to the Credit Agreement, this Promissory Note or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that a final judgment in any such suit, action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 The terms of this Promissory Note are subject to amendment only in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower promises to pay all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and
expenses, all as provided in the Credit Agreement, of counsel retained by the Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Promissory Note (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise). The Borrower and any
endorsers of this Promissory Note hereby consent to renewals and extensions of time at or after the maturity hereof, without notice, and hereby waive diligence, presentment, protest, demand, notice of every kind and, to the full extent permitted by
law, the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand hereunder.
