 “Applicable Law” means all applicable provisions of constitutions, laws,
statutes, ordinances, rules, treaties, regulations, permits, licenses, approvals, interpretations and orders of Governmental Authorities and all orders and decrees of all courts and arbitrators. 

“Applicable Margin” means the corresponding percentages per annum as set forth below based on the Consolidated Total Leverage

	 I
	  	Less than 2.00 to 1.00	  	 	0.20%	  	  	 	1.50%	  	  	 	0.50%	  	  	 	1.50%	  
	 II
	  	Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, but less than 3.00 to 1.00	  	 	0.25%	  	  	 	1.75%	  	  	 	0.75%	  	  	 	1.75%

 The Applicable Margin shall be determined and adjusted quarterly on the date five Business Days after the day on which the
Borrower provides an Officer’s Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(a) for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower (each such date, a “Calculation Date”); provided that (a) the Applicable
Margin shall be based on Pricing Level II until the first Calculation Date occurring after the Closing Date and, thereafter the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most
recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, and (b) if the Borrower fails to provide an Officer’s Compliance Certificate when due as required by Section 7.2(a) for the most recently ended
fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, the Applicable Margin from the date on which such Officer’s Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered shall be based on Pricing Level IV until such time

preceding such Calculation Date. The applicable Pricing Level shall be effective from one Calculation Date until the next Calculation Date. Any adjustment in the Pricing Level shall be applicable to all Extensions of Credit then existing or
subsequently made or issued. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any financial statement or Officer’s Compliance Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2(a) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether (i) this Agreement is in effect, (ii) any Commitments are in effect, or (iii) any Extension of Credit is outstanding when such inaccuracy is discovered
or such financial statement or Officer’s Compliance Certificate was delivered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the
Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (A) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (B) the Applicable Margin for such
Applicable Period shall be determined as if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio in the corrected 

  
 2 

 
Officer’s Compliance Certificate were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (C) the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent the
accrued additional interest and fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.4. Nothing in this
paragraph shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Sections 4.1(b) and 9.2 nor any of their other rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Borrower’s obligations under this
paragraph shall survive for 270 days after the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the
Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all or a portion of the Credit Facility with the proceeds of such refinancing or
of any incurrence of Indebtedness, or of the net cash proceeds of an Asset Disposition or the issuance of Equity Interests or any other transaction specified in such notice may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of
such refinancing or incurrence and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not consummated (provided that the failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under
Section 4.9 or Schedule 1.1(a)). 
 (b) Corresponding Payment. Each permanent reduction permitted
pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced. Any reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility. If the reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the prepayment of any
Fixed Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Schedule 1.1(a). 
 Section 2.6
Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

 GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS 

Section 4.1 Interest. 

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the Borrower, Revolving Credit
Loans and, to the extent set forth in the applicable Lender Joinder Agreement, the Term Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the
LIBOR Rate shall not be available until three Business Days after the Closing Date unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the
Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement) or (C) at the applicable Fixed Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the Fixed Rate shall not be available until three Business Days after the Closing
Date unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement or
Schedule 1.1(a) to this Agreement, as applicable). The Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2. 
 (b) Default Rate. Subject to Section 9.3,
(i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b), (h) or (i), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent in excess of the rate (including the Applicable
Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, (C) all outstanding
Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such
other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (D) all outstanding Fixed Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Fixed
Rate Loans and (E) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in
bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 (c) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan
and Fixed Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears with respect to the previous calendar quarter, on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing January 1, 2017, and with respect to Fixed Rate Loans, on the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three months, at the end of each three month
interval during such Interest Period. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the 

  
 34 

 
Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate and for Fixed Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of
fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year). 

(d) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this
Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that
such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the
Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the
intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the
Borrower under Applicable Law. 
 Section 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to (a) convert at any time all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, (ii) convert all or any part of its outstanding Fixed Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
into Based Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) continue any LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans or (iv) continue any Fixed Rate Loans as Fixed Rate Loans (so long as the applicable Interest Period is still available). Whenever the Borrower
desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not
later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or
continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to
be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. If the Borrower fails to give a Notice of Conversion/Continuation within 3 Business Days prior to the end of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, then, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan and will be deemed to have the same Interest Period as was then in effect prior to the expiration of the previous Interest Period
during which the Borrower failed to give a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Any such automatic continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
LIBOR Rate Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or (y) any such automatic continuation with respect
to any LIBOR Rate Loan shall result in an Interest Period that does not comply with clause (d) of the definition thereof, such Loan shall in each case automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of its Interest Period. If the Borrower
requests a conversion to, or continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such
Notice of Conversion/Continuation. 

  
 35 

 Section 4.3 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, subject to Section 4.15(a)(iii)(A), the Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (with respect to the column on such Applicable
Margin grid specified under “Commitment Fee”) on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any). The Commitment Fee shall be payable in
arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing January 1, 2017 and ending on the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising under
the Revolving Credit Facility shall have been paid and satisfied in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated. The Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any
Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts
fees in the amounts and at the times specified in their Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. 

Section 4.4 Manner of Payment. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of
any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for
the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall
be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 9.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the
next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its Commitment Percentage in
respect of the relevant Credit Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or
expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Section 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 11.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lender. Subject to the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied
in accordance with Section 4.15(a)(ii). 
 Section 4.5 Evidence of Indebtedness. The Extensions of
Credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of 

  
 36 

 
Credit made by the Lenders to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent
in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date,
amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.6 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 11.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof
as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or
make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 Loans and other
amounts owing them; provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and
in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation
in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply. 

Each Credit Party 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 each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such
participation. 
 Section 4.7 Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any proposed borrowing and (ii) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for 

  
 37 

 
each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of
the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the
Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be
without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(c) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement
to make the Loans are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. 

Section 4.8 Changed Circumstances. 

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London
interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do
not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the
LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
suspended, and the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount 

  
 38 

 
of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or
(B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period. 

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any
Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of
their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of
their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the
Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan
to a LIBOR Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the
then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period. 

Section 4.9 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including any
loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which may arise or be
attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder
in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Fixed Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment,
prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss or expense suffered by a Lender or resulting from
the failure of such Lender to fund any Loan at a time required hereunder. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, (a) for any LIBOR Rate Loans, based upon the assumption that such
Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical and (b) for any Fixed Rate Loans, as set forth
on Schedule 1.1(a). A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and
shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 
 Section 4.10 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate); 

  
 39 

 (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B)
Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase
the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such
other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event, within ten Business Days, pay to any such Lender or other
Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, 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 on the capital of such Lender’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender the Borrower
shall promptly and in any event, within ten Business Days, pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or such other Recipient setting forth in reasonable detail
the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the
Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten Business Days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any other Recipient
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 40 

 (e) The Borrower shall compensate each Lender for prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans
under the terms and provisions of Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, if applicable. 
 Section 4.11 Taxes. 

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.11, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA. 

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient,
within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent,
within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

  
 41 

 (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Taxes any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.11, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(g) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.11(g)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United
States federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or

 42 

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

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

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 

  
 43 

 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h)
(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 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never
been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within
ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i). The agreements in paragraph (i) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 

(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

  
 44 

 Section 4.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or
requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, 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 Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different
lending office in accordance with Section 4.12(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant
to Section 4.10 or 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that: 
 (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified
in Section 11.8; 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and 

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have
consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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. 

  
 45 

 Section 4.13 Incremental Loans. 

(a) At any time, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of: 

(i) one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan
Commitment”) to make one or more additional term loans (any such additional term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”); or 

(ii) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”) to make revolving credit loans under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental
Revolving Credit Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans “); 
 provided that (1)
the total aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Loan Commitments (and Incremental Loans funded thereunder) and all Commercial Bank Increases shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed (x) $200,000,000 plus (y) after
such $200,000,000 has been fully utilized, an amount equal to the amount of additional Indebtedness (in no case to exceed $100,000,000 for all such further Incremental Loan Commitments (and Incremental Loans funded thereunder) and all further
Commercial Bank Increases) that would cause the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the four consecutive fiscal quarter period most recently ended prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness for which financial statements have been
delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), calculated on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness to exceed 3.00:1.00; provided that the aggregate amount of (a) such new or
additional Incremental Term Loans, (b) Incremental Revolving Credit Increases (after giving effect to any increase) and (c) the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility (with all unfunded commitments being deemed fully funded) and the Term
Loan Facility (if any) does not exceed 50% of the sum of the outstanding principal amount of loans and unfunded commitments under this Agreement and the Commercial Bank Facility on a combined basis (after giving effect to all Incremental Loans and
all Commercial Bank Increases), and (2) the total aggregate amount for each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $20,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount
permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date
not less than ten Business Days (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any
Approved Fund, and/or any other Farm Credit Lender who would be an Eligible Assignee for the applicable class of Loan or Commitment, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”). Any proposed
Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loan Commitment. Any Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective
as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that: 
 (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased
Amount Date before or after giving effect to (1) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (2) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto and (3) any Permitted Acquisition or Investment consummated in connection therewith, provided that if
any such Incremental Term Loan Commitment is being made in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment the consummation of which is not substantially contemporaneous with the agreement to undertake such transaction and the
applicable Credit Party’s obligation to consummate such transaction is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (a “Limited Condition Acquisition”), such condition and the requirements of
Section 5.2(b) may be waived by the applicable Incremental Term Lenders (except with respect to Events of Default set forth in clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 9.1); 

  
 46 

 (B) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received from the
Borrower an Officer’s Compliance Certificate demonstrating, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that the Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.13 and, if
applicable, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio set forth in clause (a) above, in each case based on the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), as applicable, both before and after
giving effect (on a Pro Forma Basis) to (x) any Incremental Loan Commitment (with any Incremental Term Loan Commitment being deemed to be fully funded) and (y) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith, provided that in
calculating the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, all unfunded commitments shall be deemed fully funded, as set forth in the definition thereof; 

(C) each of the representations and warranties contained in Article VI shall be true and correct in all material respects,
except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true, correct and complete in all respects, on such Increased
Amount Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct as of such
earlier date) provided that if any such Incremental Term Loan Commitment is being made in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, such condition may be waived by the applicable Incremental Term Lenders (except with respect to the
Specified Representations (applied mutatis mutandis to such Permitted Acquisition or Investment, where such representations currently reference the Transactions)); 

(D) the proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(including Permitted Acquisitions); 
 (E) each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder)
shall constitute Obligations of the Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis; 

(F) (1) in the case of each Incremental Term Loan (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Lender Joinder
Agreement): 
 (x) such Incremental Term Loan will amortize and bear interest in a manner determined by the Incremental
Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan and the Borrower, provided that such Incremental Term Loan will not in any event have a maturity date earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; 

(y) except as provided above and in Section 4.13(d) below, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental
Term Loan (including with respect to mandatory prepayment) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; 

  
 47 

 (2) in the case of each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase (the terms of
which shall be set forth in the relevant Lender Joinder Agreement): 
 (x) any upfront fees applicable to such Revolving
Credit Increase shall be as determined by the Borrower and Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase, and such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall mature on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, shall bear interest and be
entitled to fees (other than upfront fees), in each case at the rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, and shall be subject to the same other terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans; 

(y) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased Amount
Date among the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) in accordance with their revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including
the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 4.9 in
connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment); and 
 (z) all of the other terms and
conditions applicable to such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility; 

(G) any Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the
existing Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and any Extensions of Credit made in connection with each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving
Credit Loans made hereunder; 
 (H) such Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Lender
Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.13); and 

(I) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including a
resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Credit Party authorizing such Incremental Loan and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
transaction. 

  
 48 

 (b) The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the
Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, and, unless otherwise agreed, the Incremental Lenders providing an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase or Incremental Term Loan will not constitute a separate Class from any
other Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, respectively, for any purposes under this Agreement. 
 (c) (i) On any Increased
Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitment becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make, or be obligated to make, an Incremental Term
Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and shall become a Term Loan Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant thereto. 

(ii) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase becomes effective, subject to the
foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment. 

(d) Mandatory Prepayment from Debt Issuances. 

(i) The Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Loans in the manner set forth in clause (ii) below in an
amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Issuance not otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 8.1. Such prepayment shall be made within three Business Days after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any
such Debt Issuance. 
 (ii) Upon the occurrence of any event triggering the prepayment requirement under clause (i) above,
the Borrower shall promptly deliver a Notice of Prepayment to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 4.13(d)
shall be applied (subject in all cases to the Intercreditor Agreement) as follows: first, unless otherwise waived by the applicable Incremental Lenders, to the remaining scheduled principal installments of any Incremental Term Loans as
determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders and (ii) second, to the extent of any excess, to prepay the Revolving Credit Loans without a corresponding reduction in the applicable revolving commitments. 

Section 4.14 Reserved. 

Section 4.15 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 11.2. 

  
 49 

 (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees
or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 11.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as
required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a
pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments under the
applicable Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 4.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to this Section 4.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) With respect to any Commitment Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the
Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans
to be held pro rata by the Lenders in 

  
 50 

 
accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility, 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 that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) Defaulting Participants. To the extent applicable, the provisions of this Section 4.15 shall apply to
Defaulting Participants mutatis mutandis. 
 Section 4.16 Capital Plans. 

(a) Each party hereto acknowledges that the bylaws and capital plan, as applicable, of Northwest Farm Credit Services, ACA
(“Northwest ACA”) (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (i) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Farm Credit Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account
thereof or on account of the Borrower’s patronage with NWFCS, (ii) the Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from NWFCS and (iii) patronage distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. NWFCS
reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments or outstanding Loans hereunder on a non-patronage basis to the extent such assignment or participation is in compliance with the applicable provisions of
Section 11.8. 
 (b) Each party hereto acknowledges that NWFCS has a statutory first Lien pursuant to the Farm Credit
Act of 1971 (as amended from time to time) on all Farm Credit Equities that the Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, and a related consensual Lien pursuant to the membership agreement entered into by the Borrower with NWFCS, which statutory
and consensual Liens shall be the sole and exclusive benefit of NWFCS. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Farm Credit Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other Lender.
To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the Farm Credit Equities or on patronage accrued by NWFCS for the account of the Borrower (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of NWFCS and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder. Neither the Farm Credit Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, NWFCS may elect to apply
the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
NWFCS shall have no obligation to retire the Farm Credit Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.

 Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured
Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in
this clause Second payable to them; 
 Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and
unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and payment obligations then
owing under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements
and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting 

  
 84 

 
documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this
Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X for itself and its
Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. 
 Section 9.5 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In
case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 4.3 and 11.3)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3,
4.3 and 11.3. 
 Section 9.6 Credit Bidding. 

(a) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, shall have the right to credit bid and purchase for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties all or any portion of Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at
any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by
judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. Such credit bid or purchase may be completed through one or more acquisition vehicles formed by the Administrative Agent to make such credit bid or purchase and, in connection
therewith, the Administrative Agent is authorized, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles, and assign the applicable Secured Obligations to any such
acquisition vehicle in exchange for Equity Interests and/or debt issued by the applicable acquisition vehicle (which shall be deemed to be held for the ratable account of the applicable Secured Parties on the basis of the Secured Obligations so
assigned by each Secured Party). 

  
 85 

 Section 9.7 Lender Action. Each Lender hereby agrees, on behalf of itself
and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party, that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate
obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. 

Section 9.8 Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders from time to time party to this Agreement hereby confirms and
reaffirms the irrevocable authority of the Administrative Agent to execute, deliver and act on its behalf in respect of the Intercreditor Agreement, and each duly executed supplement, modification, amendment, restatement or extension thereto. Each
Lender agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender
shall have any right individually to enforce the Intercreditor Agreement, it being agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Intercreditor Agreement may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in
accordance with the terms thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IS SUBJECT TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL. 
 ARTICLE X. 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority. 

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints NWFCS to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Except for consent rights of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.6, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any
Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to
the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as
the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent
of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto (including to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties). In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article X for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and
remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Articles X and XI (including Section 11.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were
the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

  
 86 

 Section 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 Section 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture,
modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (iii) shall not,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request
of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.2 and
Section 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 

  
 87 

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in
connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 10.4 Reliance by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it
orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be
fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of
such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 
 Section 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent
be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

  
 88 

 (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant
to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower,
appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective
Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or
removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Section 10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such 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 Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Section 10.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication
agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as
the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 

  
 89 

 Section 10.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 

(a) Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash
Management Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion: 
 (i) to release any
Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and payment in full of all Secured Obligations
(other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge
Bank shall have been made), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents (which release may, at the request of the
Borrower, be in the form of an authorization by the Administrative Agent to permit a Credit Party to dispose of such Collateral free of the security interest granted to or held by the Administrative Agent for purposes of UCC 9-315), or (C) if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.2; 
 (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any
Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien permitted pursuant to Section 8.2(h); and 

(iii) to release (A) any Credit Party from its obligations under any Loan Documents upon the termination of the Revolving
Credit Commitment and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements
satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) or (B) a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower, as a result of a
transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section
10.9. In each case as specified in this Section 10.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence
the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty
Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.9. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition
permitted pursuant to Section 8.5, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released without need for further action by any person. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or
warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall
the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

  
 90 

 Section 10.10 Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management
Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 9.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to,
direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent
expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made
with respect to, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, together with such supporting
documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

 (ii) The Platform is provided
“as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Borrower Materials or the adequacy of the Platform, and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in
the Borrower Materials. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is
made by any Agent Party in connection with the Borrower Materials or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Credit Party,
any Lender or any other Person or entity for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of
communications through the Internet (including the Platform), except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages, losses or expenses (as opposed to actual damages, losses or expenses). 
 Section 11.2 Amendments, Waivers
and Consents. Except as set forth below or as specifically provided in any Loan Document, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders, and any
consent given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in
the case of an amendment, signed by the Borrower; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) without
the prior written consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, amend, modify or waive Section 5.2 or any other provision of this Agreement if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver is to require the Revolving Credit Lenders
(pursuant to, in the 

  
 93 

 
case of any such amendment to a provision hereof other than Section 5.2, any substantially concurrent request by the Borrower for a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans) to make Revolving
Credit Loans when such Revolving Credit Lenders would not otherwise be required to do so; 
 (b) increase the Commitment of
any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 9.2) or the amount of Loans of any Lender, in any case, without the written consent of such Lender; 

(c) waive, extend or postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document or extend the expiration date for any Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby; 
 (d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (iv) of
the proviso set forth in the paragraph below) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to
pay interest at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(b) during the continuance of an Event of Default; 
 (e) change
Section 4.6 or Section 9.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or order of application required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

specified in the definitions of “Required Lenders,” or “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(g) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under any Loan
Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 8.4), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(h) release (i) all of the Subsidiary Guarantors or (ii) Subsidiary Guarantors comprising substantially all of the credit
support for the Secured Obligations, in any case, from any Guaranty Agreement (other than as authorized in Section 10.9), without the written consent of each Lender; or 

(i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Security Document (other than as authorized in Section
10.9 or as otherwise specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement or the applicable Security Document) without the written consent of each Lender; 

provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the
Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the
parties thereto, (iii) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the

  
 94 

 
Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the
affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, (iv) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or the

or Cash Management Bank, as applicable and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other

in any determination of (i) Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable or (ii) similar required lender terms applicable thereto); provided that no amendment or modification shall result in any increase in the amount
of any Lender’s Commitment or any increase in any Lender’s Commitment Percentage, in each case, without the written consent of such affected Lender. 

With respect to any matter requiring the approval of each Lender, each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby or other specified Lenders, it is
understood that Voting Participants shall have the voting rights specified in Section 11.8(d) as to such matter.

Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including reasonable and documented attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (B) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (c) relate to any dispute solely

the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates). This Section 11.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

  
 96 

 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought
based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time, or if the Total Credit Exposure has been reduced to zero, then based on such Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such reduction) of such
unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.7. 
 (d) Waiver of
Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) the Borrower and each other Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof and (ii) the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and each Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate
thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients
of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
except to the extent such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this clause (d) shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnification obligations to the extent set forth in this Agreement relating to claims of special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages sought by third parties against an Indemnitee. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 30 days after demand therefor. 

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan
Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder. 
 Section 11.4 Right of Setoff. Subject to Section 4.6 and
Section 9.4, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit
Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement to such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are

  
 97 

 
owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender
shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.4 and, pending such payment, shall be
segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing
in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application. 
 Section 11.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action
(whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and

 98

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

Section 11.7 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, other Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Secured Obligations or part thereof intended to
be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.8 Successors and Assigns; Participations. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii)
by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign
to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that, in each case with respect to
any Credit Facility, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

  
 99 

 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at
the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Credit Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of
this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of
any assignment in respect of either the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day; 
 (ii)
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except
that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate classes on a non-pro rata basis; 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph
(b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, with respect to Lenders other than Farm Credit
Lenders, an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice
thereof; and provided further, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may withhold its consent for an assignment (i) to any Lender, other than a Farm Credit Lender, (ii) that would adversely affect the
then prevailing patronage dividend being earned by the Borrower as a member of the assigning Farm Credit Lender, or (iii) to any competitor of the Borrower or affiliate of such competitor (and in each case, the Borrower shall not be deemed to have
acted unreasonably in withholding its consent); and 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Credit Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or,

  
 100 

 
with respect to Lenders other than Farm Credit Lenders, an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) the Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, with
respect to Lenders other than Farm Credit Lenders, an Approved Fund. 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that (A) only one such fee will be payable in
connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds by a Lender and (B) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee,
if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to
Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) any 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 (B). 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall
be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person). 

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount
sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in
full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans
in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.3 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of 

  
 101 

 
such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of this Section (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which shall be null and void.) 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely
for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any
of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing
to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower,
the Administrative 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be
responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.3(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). 
 Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and, subject to the paragraph below regarding the rights of Voting Participants, to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in Section 11.2(b), (c) or (d) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 and
4.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating
Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.12 as if
it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.10 or 4.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been
entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.12(b) with 

  
 102 

 
respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the sale by any Lender of a participation to any Participant (whether a Voting Participant or otherwise) shall not relieve such Lender
of any obligation hereunder and (b) no Voting Participant or other Participant shall have any contractual privity with the Borrower or any Credit Party, or be entitled to directly enforce or direct the Administrative Agent to enforce any of the
terms under the Loan Documents, other than such rights that are expressly conferred on a “Participant” as set forth in this Agreement. 

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner
of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register. 
 Notwithstanding the paragraph above, any Participant that is a Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a
participation in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (ii) has been designated as a voting participant (a “Voting Participant”) in a written notice (a “Voting Participant Notice”) sent by the relevant Lender (including
any existing Voting Participant) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (iii) receives, prior to becoming a Voting Participant, the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (such consent to be required only to the extent and
under the circumstances it would be required if such Voting Participant were to become a Lender pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.8(b) and such consent is not required for an assignment to an existing Voting
Participant), shall be entitled to vote as if such Voting Participant were a Lender on all matters subject to a vote by Lenders, and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Voting
Participant Notice shall include, with respect to each Voting Participant, the information that would be included by a prospective Lender in an Assignment and Assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender that has purchased a
participation and has been designated as a Voting Participant in Schedule 11.8(d) as of the Closing Date shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participation Notification and without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower. The selling Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) and the purchasing Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower within three (3) Business Days of any termination,
reduction or increase of the amount of, such participation. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in Voting Participant Notices and all other notices delivered pursuant hereto. The voting rights of
each Voting Participant are solely for the benefit of such Voting Participant and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of such Voting Participant that is not itself a Voting Participant. 

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 103 

 (f) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a
cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. 
 Section 11.9 Treatment of
Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and, by their purchase of a Participation, the Voting Participants agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties in connection with the Credit Facility, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with marketing of services by such Affiliate or Related Party
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (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 on substantially
the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent required or requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any

governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent practicable and lawfully permitted to do so), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws pursuant to a
subpoena or an order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding or process (in which case, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, inform the
Borrower promptly in advance thereof so the Borrower may seek a protective order or take other appropriate action), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement, under any other Loan
Document or under any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or the

Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) to an investor or prospective investor in an Approved Fund that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such Approved Fund, (iv) to a trustee, collateral
manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in an Approved Fund in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for an Approved Fund, or (v) to a nationally recognized rating

 104 

 
knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrower, (j) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative
Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (in which case, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof so the Borrower may seek
a protective order or take other appropriate action), (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person, or (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 11.10 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense. 
 Section 11.11 All Powers Coupled
with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated. 

Section 11.12 Survival. 

(a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VI and all representations and warranties contained in any
certificate, or any of the Loan Documents (including any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and
warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XI and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in
full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before. 

Section 11.13 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of
contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 105 

 Section 11.14 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 11.15 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to
fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Section 11.16 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and
including the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and the
Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such
termination. 
 Section 11.17 USA PATRIOT Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, each of them is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of each Credit
Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. 
 Section
11.18 Independent Effect of Covenants. The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VII or VIII hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrower shall not
engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VII or VIII, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant
contained in Articles VII or VIII. 

  
 106 

 Section 11.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 

(a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of
evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in
connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of
its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Arranger or Lender has
advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve
interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or
fiduciary relationship and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. 

(b) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may lend money to,
invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Borrower, the Parent, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger
or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Credit Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Parent,
the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement, the
Credit Facilities or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing. 

Section 11.20 Inconsistencies with Other Documents. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this
Agreement and any other Loan Document, other than the Intercreditor Agreement (which inconsistencies shall be governed by and be subject to Section 9.8), the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the
Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be
deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect. 

  
 107 

 Section 11.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution
arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any
such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in
such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect
to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), is made as of October 31, 2016, by
and among (a) AMETEK, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), and (b) each of the Noteholders (as defined below) signatory hereto, with respect to that certain Note Purchase
Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2014, (as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment, the “Existing Note Agreement” and, as amended pursuant to this Amendment and as may be further amended, restated or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”), by and among the Company and each holder of the Notes (collectively, the “Noteholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Note Agreement. 
 RECITALS: 

A.        The Company and the Noteholders are parties to the Existing Note
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold the Notes to the Noteholders; and 

B.        The Company has requested, and the Majority Holders have agreed to,
certain amendments to the provisions of the Existing Note Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 AGREEMENT:

 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Company and the Majority Holders agree as follows: 
  

	1.	AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING NOTE AGREEMENT. 

 Subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Existing Note Agreement is hereby amended by this Amendment as follows: 
  

	 	1.1.	Priority Debt. 

 Clause (c) of Section 10.1 of the Existing Note
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“(c)      Priority Debt -- Priority Debt at any time to exceed 15%
of Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company); provided, however, that no Lien created pursuant to Section 10.2(j) shall secure Indebtedness owing under the Bank Credit Agreement or
any other note agreement to which the Company is a party unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such Lien and no Subsidiary shall guaranty or otherwise become obligated in respect of such Indebtedness unless such
Subsidiary guaranties, or becomes obligated in respect of, the Notes, in each case pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Foreign Subsidiary may become a borrower under the Bank
Credit 

 
Agreement, so long as it is liable only for the amount of its direct borrowings thereunder, and the Company shall not be required to cause such Foreign Subsidiary to guaranty the Notes in
accordance with this clause (c), if (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing at the time such Foreign Subsidiary becomes a borrower under the Bank Credit Agreement and (ii) at such time the provision by such Foreign Subsidiary of
a guaranty of the Notes would cause the earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent under the Code; provided, however, that a guaranty of the Notes from such Foreign
Subsidiary shall be required to be delivered to the holders of Notes in accordance with this clause (c) on the earliest to occur thereafter of (x) a Default or Event of Default or (y) such time as the provision by such Foreign Subsidiary of a
guaranty of the Notes would not cause the earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent under the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) any borrowing by a Foreign
Subsidiary under the Bank Credit Agreement shall constitute Priority Debt unless such Foreign Subsidiary shall have provided a guaranty or shall have otherwise become obligated in respect of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Section
10.1(c), and (2) any Indebtedness owing under the Bank Credit Agreement or any other note agreement to which the Company is a party that is secured by a Lien created pursuant to Section 10.2(j) shall cease to constitute Priority Debt for purposes of
the first sentence of this Section 10.1(c) at such time as the Notes are equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such Lien pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, including,
without limitation, an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to the Company and/or any applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Majority Holders.” 

 

	 	1.2.	Accounting Terms; Change in GAAP. 

 Section 22.6 of the Existing Note
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
  

	 	22.6	Accounting Terms; Change in GAAP. 

(a)         All accounting terms used herein which are not
expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and
all balance sheets and other financial statements with respect thereto shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any consolidated financial statement or financial computation shall be done in
accordance with GAAP; and, if at the time that any such statement or computation is required to be made the Company shall not have any Subsidiary, such terms shall mean a financial statement or a financial computation, as the case may be, with
respect to the Company only. 
 (b)         For purposes of
determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted

  
 2 

 
by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made. 

(c)        If the Company shall notify the holders of Notes that the
Company wishes to amend any covenant in Section 10 to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Majority Holders notify the Company that the Majority Holders wish to amend Section 10 for such purpose),
then the Company and the holders of the Notes shall negotiate in good faith to make such adjustments as shall be necessary to eliminate the effect of such change in GAAP on such covenant; provided that, until agreement is reached on such
adjustments, the Company’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a
manner satisfactory to the Company and the Majority Holders, and the Company shall provide to the holders of Notes, with each certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2, a reconciliation showing calculations with respect to such covenant before
and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. 
  

	 	1.3.	Definition of “Significant Subsidiary”. 

 The definition of
“Significant Subsidiary” in Schedule B of the Existing Note Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“Significant Subsidiary” means, at any time, each Subsidiary the total assets of which
account for at least 10% of Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the end of the Company’s then most recently ended fiscal quarter) and any two or more Subsidiaries the total assets of which, taken together, represent, on an aggregate
basis, not less than 10% of Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the end of the Company’s then most recently ended fiscal quarter). 
  

	2.	WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS.

enter into this Amendment, the Company represents and warrants to each of the Noteholders that as of the First Amendment Effective Date:

enforceability may be limited by:
 (a)        applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and 

(b)        general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

  
 3 

	 	2.3.	No Conflicts, etc.

(a)        any charter document, constitutive document, agreement with
shareholders or members, bylaws or any other organizational or governing agreement of the Company; 

(b)        any agreement, instrument or conveyance by which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected; or 

(c)        any statute, rule or regulation or any order, judgment or
award of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected.

the part of the Company.
