 Exhibit 10.51 
 EXECUTION COPY 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT made on March 14, 2013 (the “Commencement Date”) by and between Kid Brands, Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), and Raphael Benaroya (the “Executive” and, together with the Company, the “Parties”). 
 The Parties intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows. 
 1.
TERM. This Agreement shall be for a term commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date, with annual extensions thereafter unless the Company or the Executive provides written notice of
termination to the other Party at least four months prior to the end of the original four-year term or any subsequent annual extension (the original term, as may be from time to time extended, being referred to as the “Term”). 

2. POSITION; DUTIES. The Executive shall be employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall have the
authorities and responsibilities customarily associated with the status of such positions at other New York Stock Exchange listed companies. In his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer, the Executive shall report directly to the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and shall have ultimate responsibility for all the Company’s current and future operations in the U.S. and abroad. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, if
and to the extent requested by the Company, the Executive shall promptly resign from the Board and from all other positions that the Executive then holds with the Company or any affiliate and promptly execute all documentation for such resignations.

 The Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time, effort and energies to the business of the Company;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may (a) serve as an officer or director of the entities for whom he serves as such on the Commencement Date and other entities, (b) engage in civic, charitable, public
service and community activities and affairs, (c) accept and fulfill a reasonable number of speaking engagements, and (d) manage his personal investments and affairs, as long as such activities do not interfere, individually or in the
aggregate, with his obligations and the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company under this Agreement in any material respect. If the Executive accepts an appointment to serve on the board of directors or in any other
capacity with any for profit business entity for which he does not serve on the Commencement Date, the Executive shall provide notice thereof to the Chair of the Nominating/Governance Committee of the Board. 

 3. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. Subject in each case to the provisions of
Section 4 of this Agreement in the event that his employment hereunder terminates, the Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits during the Term. 

(A) Base Salary. The Company will pay the Executive a base salary at an annual rate of $650,000, payable in
accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices and prorated for the period of his service during 2013. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall consider an increase of base salary annually in its discretion. The base salary shall
not be decreased at any time or for any purpose during the Term, provided, however, that the Board may decrease Executive’s Base Salary rate if such reduction is (i) made in conjunction with cost cutting measures, (ii) consistent in
all material respects (including, without limitation, duration and rate of reduction) with reductions applicable to the Company’s senior executive officers generally, and (iii) made pursuant to the Executive’s recommendation or with
the Executive’s consent. The annual rate of the Executive’s base salary as in effect from time to time is referred to herein as “Base Salary”; provided, however, that, for the purpose of determining severance payable under
Section 4, the term “Base Salary” shall be determined without regard to any across-the-board temporary salary reduction that may be in effect at the Termination Date. 

(B) Incentive Compensation. The Executive will be entitled to an annual incentive compensation opportunity under
the Company’s Incentive Compensation Bonus Program as attached to the Company’s 2012 proxy statement (“ICBP”) subject to all the terms thereof (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) for the year 2013 and future years.
The Executive’s annual bonus shall range from 0% to 100% of Base Salary depending on the achievement of performance goals, with payout of 50% of Base Salary upon achievement of target goals. Performance goals for each year (including 2013) will
be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board within 90 days after the beginning of such year, and the Executive shall have the opportunity to consult with the Compensation Committee in advance of the establishment of that year’s
performance goals. The Executive’s bonus opportunity for 2013 will be based upon a full year of service in 2013. The performance goals applicable to the Executive for any year will be consistent with or not more stringent than any comparable
performance goals applicable to any other executive of the Company for such year. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the ICBP and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Any amendment to
the ICBP shall not apply to the Executive without his consent. Any earned bonus will be paid to the Executive after the end of the performance year and the determination by the Compensation Committee of the achievement of the performance goals at
the same time as paid to other officers, but no later than March 15 of the following year unless the audit of the Company’s financial statements is not completed by March 15 in which event such determination and payment shall be made
in such year promptly upon completion of the audit. 
 (C) Equity Compensation. At the close of the first
full trading day after announcement of this Agreement, the Executive shall receive an equity grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs” or
“Cash SARs”) covering one million shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company as follows: 
 (i) ISOs: incentive stock options covering 200,000 shares of Common Stock to be awarded under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and having the terms set forth herein and in Attachment 1 hereto;

  
 - 2 -

 (ii) NQOs: nonqualified stock options covering 200,000 shares of Common
Stock to be awarded outside the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and having the terms set forth herein and in Attachment 2 hereto; and 
 (iii) Cash SARs: stock appreciation rights covering 600,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable for cash to be awarded under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan and having the terms set forth herein
and in Attachment 3 hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and upon stockholder approval as provided below), the Company will replace the Cash SARs with non-qualified stock options for 600,000 shares under the
Company’s Equity Incentive Plan at the same exercise price per share and upon substantially the same other terms and conditions as the Cash SARs being replaced, in which event all references in this Agreement to the Cash SARs or SARs will
thereafter be deemed to refer to the replacement options (“Replacement Options”). It is understood and acknowledged by the Parties that, as a condition of issuing the Replacement Options, the Replacement Options must be approved by the
Company’s stockholders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Replacement Options approved at the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. For the sake of clarity, if the Replacement Options are not so
approved by the Company’s stockholders, then the Replacement Options will not be awarded and the Cash SARs will continue in full force and effect. 
 The ISOs and Replacement Options will be covered by the Company’s registration statement on Form S-8 for the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. The Company will cause the NQOs to be registered at
the Company’s expense on a Form S-8 within thirty days of the Commencement Date. The Company shall keep the registration statements effective until all the Executive’s shares of Common Stock covered thereby are sold, or may be sold without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Consistent with the foregoing, the Executive recognizes that the exercise of the NQOs (and the disposition of the underlying shares of Company
Common Stock) are not currently registered under an effective registration statement under the Act. The Executive agrees not to exercise the NQOs unless such exercise is covered by an effective registration on Form S-8 under the Act, unless the
Executive provides an investment representation to the Company that he is acquiring the shares to be received upon such exercise for his own account and not with a view to distribution or the issuance of Common Stock by the Company upon such
exercise is not otherwise prohibited under the Act. The Executive recognizes that the disposition of the shares of Common Stock underlying the ISOs, NQOs and Replacement Options by affiliates will not be covered by an effective registration
statement under the Act. In the event that the Executive receives shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the ISOs, NQOs or Replacement Options and the disposition of each share is not covered by an effective registration statement under the
Act, or is not otherwise exempt from such registration, the shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Act and Rule 144 thereunder. The certificates evidencing any such shares may have a statement placed thereon
to reflect their status as restricted securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained within this paragraph shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver or release of the Company’s obligations hereunder (including specifically
those contained in Section 3(C)(iii) above, which shall remain in effect and absolute.

entitled to any cash fees or other payments or equity grants for service as a director.

(F) Other Benefits. The Executive will be entitled to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans and
perquisites applicable to senior executives generally as in effect from time to time and on a basis no less favorable than those provided to other senior executives. 

  
 - 4 -

 (G) Vacation. The Executive will be entitled to four weeks of
vacation annually (or such greater amount provided in applicable Company policies or as may be provided to any other senior executive of the Company) to be taken at times determined by the Executive. Any vacation time not taken during any year may
not be carried over to subsequent years, unless and except to the extent that a more favorable carry-over policy applies to any other executive of the Company; provided, however, that unused vacation for one year may be carried over to the next year
if and to the extent that the unused vacation is attributable to business exigencies of the Company; provided further, that if the Executive is paid for such carried over vacation upon termination of employment by the Company without Cause or
termination by the Executive for Good Reason, the amount of such payment shall reduce the severance payment under Section 4(B)(iv). 
 (H) Director’s and Officer’s Insurance and Indemnification. 
 (i) The Company agrees that (a) if the Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any legal proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent, manager, consultant, or representative of the Company or any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof, or (b) if any legal claim is made, or threatened to be made, that arises out of or relates to the Executive’s service in any of the
foregoing capacities, then the Executive shall promptly be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, and losses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees, judgments, interest, expenses of investigation, penalties, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties but not excise taxes under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred
or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, agent, manager, consultant or representative of the Company and shall inure
to the benefit of the Executive’s heirs, executors, and administrators. The Company shall advance to the Executive all costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with any such legal proceeding or legal claim within 15 days after receiving
written notice requesting such an advance. Such notice shall include an undertaking by the Executive to repay the amount advanced if he is ultimately determined not entitled to indemnification against such costs and expenses as authorized under this
Agreement or applicable law. 
 (ii) Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination in
connection with any request for indemnification or advancement under this Section that the Executive has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct nor a determination by the Company that the Executive has not met any applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that the Executive has not met an applicable standard of conduct. 
 (iii)
During the term of employment and for a period of six years thereafter, the Company shall keep in place a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or policies) providing comprehensive coverage to the Executive equal to at least
that which is in effect currently or, if greater, the coverage that the Company provides for any other present or former senior executive or director of the Company. 

  
 - 5 -

 (iv) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of (but instead shall be in addition to) any other rights to which Executive may be entitled, including without limitation under the Company’s certificate of
incorporation or by-laws, pursuant to any applicable law, statute or regulation, or by other contractual arrangement, and whether as to actions taken (or omitted to be taken) in Executive’s official capacity or as to actions taken (or omitted
to be taken) in another capacity while holding such office. 
 4. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION. The payments under this
Section 4 are the only termination payments to which the Executive is entitled upon termination of his employment prior to the end of the Term regardless of the date during the Term in which employment is terminated. 

(A) Termination by Company for Cause or Termination by Executive without Good Reason. If the Executive’s
employment under this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or by the Executive without Good Reason (as defined below), the Executive will be entitled to receive the following (promptly
following such termination in the case of clause (i) and at the time specified in Section 3(B) in the case of clause (ii) below): 
 (i) Base Salary earned through the date that the Executive’s employment hereunder terminates (the “Termination Date”); 

(ii) ICBP amounts referenced in Section 3(B) hereof (“ICBP Amounts”) earned for any prior completed
calendar year and not yet paid; and 
 (iii) other vested amounts and benefits, if any, under and in accordance
with the terms of any applicable plan, program, corporate governance document, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company in which the Executive participated prior to the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Accrued
Compensation”) provided that the Executive may exercise ISOs, NQOs and SARs after the Termination Date as set forth below. 

  
 - 6 -

 In addition, if the Executive is terminated by the
Company for Cause or terminates his employment without Good Reason, any ISOs, NQOs and SARs that have not yet vested shall immediately terminate and be forfeited. In the event of termination of employment by the Company for Cause, the
Executive’s ISOs, NQOs and SARs that had become vested prior to the Executive’s Termination Date shall remain exercisable until and, to the extent not exercised, shall expire on (x) the close of the second trading day following the
date upon which applicable law permits Executive to exercise in full the ISOs, NQOs and SARs and sell the underlying shares to be acquired upon such exercise, but in no event prior to (y) the end of the 30th Open Window Trading Day (as defined below) following the
Executive’s Termination Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Open Window Trading Day” is any trading day during which Company insiders (including directors and executive officers) are not prohibited from selling and
purchasing shares of Company Common Stock, whether pursuant to Company insider trading policies or applicable law. In the event of termination of employment by the Executive without Good Reason, the Executive’s ISOs, NQOs and SARs that had
become vested prior to the Executive’s Termination Date shall remain exercisable until and, to the extent not exercised, shall expire at the end of the six-month period following the Termination Date or, if later, at the end of the 30th Open Window Trading Day following the Termination Date; provided,
however that if, on the last trading day in such six-month period, Company insider trading policy or applicable law prohibits the Executive from exercising the equity awards and/or selling the shares acquired upon such exercise, then the expiration
date of those awards will be extended until the close of the next trading day (i) on which the awards may be exercised and shares may be sold without violating such Company policy or applicable law and (ii) as to which the required notice
of an Open Window Trading Day (referenced below) was given to Executive prior to the opening of trading on such day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ISOs, NQOs and SARs be exercisable after the expiration of their 10-year stated
terms. On and after the Termination Date and until the early expiration date of the ISOs, NQOs and SARs pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall provide adequate notice to the Executive (which may be by e-mail and/or other electronic means) so
that the Executive will know which days will and which days will not be Open Window Trading Days and upon which the awards may be exercised and the underlying shares may be sold by Executive. 

In the event that the termination of employment of the Executive occurs as a result of the expiration of this Agreement at
the end of its Term, the Executive shall be entitled to (x) the payments set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) above (promptly following such termination in the case of clause (i) and at the time specified in Section 3(B) in the
case of clause (ii), as well as to (y) an amount equal to the ICBP Amount which would have been earned by the Executive for the calendar year of termination if the Executive’s employment had continued through the end of the year based upon
achievement of performance goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the beginning of the year to the end of the Term, and the denominator is the number of days in such calendar year. In addition, all
of the ISOs, NQOs and SARs will be exercisable by the Executive for the remainder of their respective terms. 

  
 - 7 -

 “Cause” shall mean: (A) willful failure by the Executive to
perform his material duties hereunder as an employee of the Company; (B) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; (C) the Executive’s theft or misuse of material Company property; or
(D) willful misconduct or an act of moral turpitude which is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; provided that Cause does not include a finding of liability in pending or future shareholder, derivative or punitive
class actions or other civil actions. For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act by the Executive shall be deemed “willful” unless it is knowingly and intentionally done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith
and without a belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. No termination of the Executive’s employment will be treated as for “Cause” unless, prior to such termination: (i) the
Executive has been provided written notice from the Board setting forth in reasonable detail the basis on which the Company is considering terminating his employment for “Cause” (a “Cause Notice”); (ii) upon the
Executive’s request within 10 days of his receipt of the Cause Notice, the Executive has been afforded a review by the Board within 14 days following his request for such review; and (iii) within 14 days after such review, the Board
confirms, by affirmative vote of a majority of the members (other than the Executive) and by written notice to the Executive, that “Cause” exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may cure the basis on which the Company is
considering terminating his employment (and thereby avoid a termination for Cause) at any time following the date on which a Cause Notice is received and prior to the expiration of the 14-day review period described in (iii) above, except that
the cure period does not apply to the extent that the act or omission is not curable. 
 (B) Termination by
the Company without Cause or Termination by Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the
Executive will be entitled to receive the following: 
 (i) Base Salary earned through the Termination Date;

 (ii) ICBP Amounts earned for any prior completed calendar year and not yet paid; 

(iii) the Accrued Compensation; 
 (iv) Base Salary at the rate in effect at the Termination Date (determined without regard to any reduction that may then be in effect pursuant to Section 3(A) above) for a period of nine months after
the Termination Date; 
 (v) an amount equal to the ICBP Amount which would have been earned by the Executive for
the year of termination if the Executive’s employment had continued through the end of the year based upon achievement of performance goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the beginning of
the year to the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the year; and 
 (vi) the
Company will pay to the Executive the amount of COBRA premiums for his and his family’s coverage to the extent that the Executive had elected such coverage under the Company’s medical and dental plans during the nine months following the
Termination Date and shall continue to cover the Executive under the Company’s life insurance program for nine months. 

  
 - 8 -

 Any amounts payable pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph
(B) shall be paid promptly after the Termination Date; any amounts payable pursuant to clause (ii) or (v) of this paragraph (B) shall be paid within the time specified in Section 3(B); and any amounts payable pursuant to
clause (iii) of this paragraph (B) shall be paid pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans or arrangements. Any amounts payable pursuant to clause (iv) of this paragraph (B) shall be paid in consecutive equal monthly payments
commencing on the first day of the month following the Termination Date; provided that, if and to the extent necessary to prevent the Executive from being subject to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
(“Section 409A”), the first six months of the continued Base Salary payments shall not be paid until, and shall be paid in a single sum payment on, the first day after the six month anniversary of the Termination Date, with the remaining
monthly payments to begin on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination Date. At the end of the period during which the Company is paying the Executive’s premiums for medical and dental coverage, the Executive and any eligible
family members may elect COBRA continuation coverage at his own expense for the remainder, if any, of the required COBRA period. All amounts payable under this Agreement shall be without interest if paid when due. 

In order to receive any payments or benefits under clauses (ii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of this paragraph
(B) and accelerated vesting of ISOs, NQOs and SARs set forth in the following paragraph, the Executive must execute and deliver to the Company a release provided by the Company in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto which shall have
become irrevocable within 52 days following the Termination Date. 
 If the Executive’s employment under
this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, any unvested ISOs, NQOs and SARs (as well as any unvested additional equity awards that may be granted to the Executive)
shall become immediately vested on the Termination Date and shall be exercisable for the remainder of their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company terminates the employment of the Executive without Cause prior to the first anniversary
of the Commencement Date, the Executive will forfeit the last 250,000 Cash SARs that would have become vested if the Executive’s employment had not terminated; provided, however, that no such forfeiture shall occur if a Change of Control occurs
prior to the Executive’s Termination Date or if the Executive is terminated following the commencement of discussions leading to a Change of Control or within six months prior to the consummation of a Change of Control; it being understood that
in the event of any such forfeiture, 350,000 Cash SARs, as well as the 200,000 ISOs and the 200,000 NQOs, shall be fully vested and shall be exercisable for the remainder of their terms in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.

 As of the Termination Date, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any
further payments or benefits from the Company. 

  
 - 9 -

 “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
events without the Executive’s express written consent: (A) a diminution of the Executive’s Base Salary except as permitted by Section 3(A) or a diminution of the Executive’s annual bonus opportunity described in
Section 3(B) to less than 100% of Base Salary with a target bonus of less than 50% of Base Salary; (B) a diminution in the Executive’s position, title, authority, duties, or responsibilities; (C) a relocation of the
Company’s headquarters office at which the Executive is employed outside of a 35 mile radius of the current office, but Good Reason shall not mean a relocation to the current offices of La Jobi, Inc.; (D) a material breach of this
Agreement by the Company; or (E) in connection with a Change of Control, the failure or refusal by the successor or acquiring company (or parent thereof) to expressly assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Executive
must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the condition constituting the Good Reason within 30 days of the Executive’s having actual knowledge of the existence of the condition and, if the condition is curable, the Company
will then have 30 days from receipt of such notice during which the Company may remedy the condition and not be required to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 4(B). If full cure is made by the Company within such 30 day cure period, Good
Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred and the Executive’s employment will be deemed to have continued under and subject to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the same condition may be cured by the Company only once
during the Term. Failure of the Company promptly to make payment to the Executive in cash upon exercise of all or any part of the Cash SARs at a time when such payment would cause an Event of Default under the Company’s Credit Agreement with
Salus Capital Partners, LLC, as such Credit Agreement is currently in effect, shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Company but shall not, in and of itself, constitute “Good Reason”, provided that any such payment is made on
or promptly (but not more than five days) after the date that payment would not cause such an Event of Default. In addition, if the Cash SARs are not converted into Replacement Options, the failure of the Company promptly to make payment to the
Executive in cash upon exercise of all or any part of the vested Cash SARs at time when such payment would cause an Event of Default under the Salus Credit Agreement, as such Credit Agreement is currently in effect, will not be deemed to be a breach
of this Agreement (i) during the period prior to the Company’s 2013 annual shareholders’ meeting or (ii) thereafter for a period of 90 days while the Parties seek a resolution, provided that in any event, any such payment is made
promptly (but not more than five days) after the date that payment would not cause such an Event of Default, and provided further that, if a Change of Control occurs, (x) any amount owed to the Executive in respect of the exercise of such Cash
SARs shall be paid to the Executive on or before the date of such Change of Control and (y) the successor entity in the Change of Control shall not be entitled to rely on the above described carve out for an Event of Default under the Salus
Credit Agreement as a reason for the non-payment of cash to the Executive upon his exercise of all or a portion of the Cash SARs (which non-payment would then constitute immediate grounds for Executive to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason).

 (C) Termination on Disability or Death. In the event that the employment of the Executive terminates
prior to the end of the Term by reason of Disability (as defined below), the Executive shall be entitled to the payments set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) of Section 4(B) including payments under the Company’s
long term disability insurance plan to the extent provided for therein. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment by reason of “Disability” if (and only if) the Executive is absent from work for at least 135 consecutive
days or for 135 days (whether or not consecutive) in any calendar year by reason of a physical or mental illness or injury. In the event that the employment of the Executive terminates before the end of the Term by reason of death, the amounts set
forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) of Section 4(B) shall be paid to his estate and the death benefit under the Company’s life insurance program shall be paid to his designated beneficiary, or estate in the absence of
designated beneficiary and the Executive’s family shall be entitled to reimbursement for the continued COBRA continuation coverage benefits set forth in Section 4(B)(vi). 

  
 - 10 -

 In addition, if the Executive’s employment under this Agreement is
terminated prior to the end of the Term by reason of Disability or death, any unvested ISOs and SARs (as well as any unvested additional equity awards that may be granted to the Executive) shall become vested on the Termination Date to the same
extent as if the Executive had completed an additional two years of service with the Company after the Termination Date and all vested ISOs, NQOs and SARs (or Replacement Options, if applicable) shall be exercisable for one year following the
Termination Date, or the expiration of their respective terms, if earlier. 
 (D) Change of Control. If
the Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason at any time on or after, or within six months before, the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Executive will be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 4(B) subject to the terms thereof (including, without limitation, acceleration of vesting and continuing exercisability of outstanding ISOs, NQOs, SARs
and other equity awards). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control occurs and outstanding ISOs, NQOs, SARs and/or other Company equity awards (the “Transaction Date Equity Awards”) are not assumed or converted into comparable
awards with respect to stock of the acquiring or successor company (or parent thereof), then, immediately prior to the Change of Control, each such Transaction Date Equity Award, whether or not previously vested, shall be converted into the right to
receive cash or, at the election of the Executive, consideration in a form that is pari passu with the form of the consideration payable to the Company’s stockholders in exchange for their shares, in an amount or having a value equal to the
product of (i) the per share fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock (based upon the consideration payable to the Company’s stockholders), less, if applicable, the per share exercise price under such Transaction Date Equity
Award, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Transaction Date Equity Award (such product being referred to as the “Award Cash-Out Amount”). A Transaction Date Equity Award that is not assumed or
converted (as described above) may be canceled at the time of the Change of Control for no consideration if the per share exercise price of such Transaction Date Equity Award is greater than such per share fair market value of the Company’s
Common Stock (determined with regard to all per share consideration, including the value of any contingent and/or deferred consideration payable in the Change of Control transaction). The Award Cash-Out Amount with respect to each Transaction Date
Equity Award will be paid or settled at the time of or promptly (but not more than 10 days) following the occurrence of the Change of Control; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company’s stockholders receive deferred
and/or contingent consideration, then the Executive will be entitled to receive such deferred and/or contingent consideration as and when payable to the Company’s stockholders as if the shares of Common Stock covered by his Transaction Date
Equity Awards had been outstanding at the time of the Change of Control. 

  
 - 11 -

 “Change of Control” means any of the following: 

(a) any one person or more than one person acting as a group directly or indirectly acquires ownership of shares of the
Company that, together with the shares of the Company held by such person or group, constitutes more than 40% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the shares of the Company; provided, however, that if any one person or more than
one person acting as a group is considered to own more than 40% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the shares of the Company on the date hereof, the acquisition of additional shares by the same person or persons shall not
constitute a Change of Control under this clause (a). An increase in the percentage of shares of the Company owned by any one person or persons acting as a group as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its own shares in exchange
for property will be treated as an acquisition of shares of the Company by such person or persons for purposes of this clause (a); 
 (b) any one person or more than one person acting as a group directly or indirectly acquires, or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or
persons, ownership of shares of the Company having 30% or more of the total voting power of the shares of the Company; provided, however, that if any one person or more than one person acting as a group so acquires 30% or more of the total voting
power of the shares of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons shall not constitute a Change of Control under clause (a) or (b) of this definition; 

(c) one-half or more of the members of the Company’s Board are replaced during any 18-month
period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by at least 662/3% of the Company’s Board prior to the date of such appointment or election, but excluding, for purposes of such endorsement, any individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an
actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of directors of the Company; or 
 (d) any one
person or more than one person acting as a group acquires, or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value
equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that a transfer of assets by the Company shall not be treated as a Change of
Control if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the Company immediately before the asset transfer in exchange for or with respect to shares of the Company, (ii) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of
which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (iii) a person or more than one person acting as a group that owns, directly or indirectly, shares of the Company having 50% or more of the total value or total voting power of all
outstanding shares of the Company or (iv) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned by a person or persons described in clause (iii) above; and provided, further, that for purposes of clauses (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) above, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets. For purposes of this clause (d), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets
being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. 

  
 - 12 -

 For the avoidance of doubt, a Change of Control will be deemed to have occurred upon the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of, or similar type of corporate transaction involving, the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof)
more than 60% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; 

(E) Parachute Payment Excise Tax. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive determines that
any amounts due to him under this Agreement and any other plan or program of the Company constitute a “parachute payment,” as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and the amount of the parachute payment, reduced by
all federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, is less than the amount that the Executive would receive if he were paid three times his “base amount,” as
defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, less $1.00, reduced by all federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, then at the Executive’s request the Company shall reduce the aggregate of the amounts constituting the parachute
payment to an amount that will equal three times the Executive’s base amount less $1.00. The Executive shall have the right to specify the portion of such reduction, if any, that will be made under this Agreement and each plan or program of the
Company. 
 (F) No Mitigation. In the event of any termination of the employment of the Executive
hereunder prior to the end of the Term, the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate damages, and there shall be no offset against any amounts due him on account of any remuneration attributable to any
subsequent employment that he may obtain. 
 5. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Executive shall, during and after his employment by
the Company and except in connection with performing services on behalf of (or for the benefit of) the Company or any of its affiliates, keep secret and retain in the strictest confidence all confidential, proprietary and non-public matters,
tangible or intangible, of or related to the Company, its shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, attorneys, fiduciaries, representatives, employees, licensees and agents including, without limitation, trade
secrets, business strategies and operations, customer lists, manufacturers, material suppliers, financial information, personnel information, legal advice and counsel obtained from counsel, information regarding litigation, actual, pending or
threatened, research and development, identities and habits of employees and agents and business relationships, and shall not disclose them to any person, entity or any federal, state or local agency or authority, except as may be required by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall prohibit the Executive from making any statement or disclosure (i) to the extent required by law; (ii) to the extent required by subpoena or other legal process
(upon receipt of which the Executive shall promptly give the Company written notice thereof in order to afford the Company an opportunity to contest such disclosure); (iii) with the Company’s prior written consent; or (iv) in
confidence to an attorney for the purpose of obtaining legal advice. 

  
 - 13 -

 Upon termination of his employment with the Company, the Executive shall return to the
Company all confidential, proprietary and non-public materials, and any other property of the Company, in his physical possession. The personal property of the Executive, including documents relating to his benefits, compensation, tax liabilities,
personal obligations (e.g., restrictive covenants), and the like, shall not be subject to return pursuant to the preceding sentence. 
 For purposes of this Section 5, any such matters or materials shall cease to continue to be confidential, proprietary and non-public (and thus no longer be governed by the restrictions of this
Section 5), if, when and to the extent that such matters or material become public other than by reason of the Executive’s failure to comply with the restrictions of this Section 5. 

6. NON-COMPETE; NONSOLICITATION. The Executive agrees that during his employment by the Company and for nine months thereafter, he
shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or be interested in (as owner, partner, stockholder, employee, director, officer, agent, fiduciary, consultant or otherwise), with or without compensation, any line of business in which the Company or its
affiliates is actively engaged (or, in the case of cessation of employment, in which the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries is then engaged at the time of such cessation); provided, however, that the Executive may own stock or other
equity securities representing up to 5% of the value and/or voting power of any publicly traded company, and provided that nothing herein shall restrict the Executive from providing services to any entity that is in competition with the Company if
the competitive business unit of such entity is not the primary business of such entity, and if the Executive is not directly involved in activities that are in competition with the Company. The Executive further agrees that for nine months
following the Termination Date, the Executive will not: 
 (i) directly or indirectly, contact, solicit, or
accept if offered to him, or direct any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity to contact, solicit or accept if offered, any of the Company’s customers, prospective customers, or suppliers for the purpose of providing any
products and/or services that are the same as or similar to the specific products and services provided by the Company to its customers during the Term; or 

  
 - 14 -

 (ii) solicit or accept if offered to the Executive, with or without
solicitation, on his behalf or on behalf of any other person, the services of any person who is then a current employee of the Company (or was an employee during the six-month period preceding the Executive’s Termination Date), to terminate
employment or an engagement with the Company, nor hire or agree to hire any such current or former employee into employment with the Executive or any company, individual or other entity; provided, however, that this subpart (ii) will not apply
to applications for employment from any current or former employee of the Company in response to a general solicitation that is not directed at any such current or former employee; and provided further that this subpart (ii) shall not be deemed
to preclude any future employer of the Executive from hiring any such current or former employee of the Company without the input or participation by the Executive. 
 The provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply if the termination of employment of the Executive occurs as a result of the expiration of this Agreement at the end of its Term. 

7. NONDISPARAGEMENT. The Executive shall, after his employment with the Company has terminated, refrain from any action that could
reasonably be expected to harm the reputation or goodwill of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and any shareholder holding more than 5% of the Company’s voting securities, including, without limitation, making derogatory comments about
the character or ability of the Company or its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents or representatives. Likewise, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors and agents to refrain from
making any statements or taking any action that could reasonably be expected to harm the personal or business reputation of the Executive or of any member of his family, including, without limitation, making or permitting others to make derogatory
comments about the character or ability of the Executive. The Parties will cooperate with each other on the preparation of a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement that is reasonably satisfactory to each of them. 

8. REMEDY FOR BREACH AND MODIFICATION. The Executive acknowledges that the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement are
reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company and that the Company may be irreparably damaged if these provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that, in addition to any other relief or remedies
available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to obtain appropriate temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief for the purposes of restraining the Executive from any actual or threatened breach of or
otherwise enforcing these provisions and no bond or security will be required in connection therewith. The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of their interests
and that either Party may be irreparably damaged if these provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in addition to any other relief or remedies that may be available, each of them shall be entitled to
obtain appropriate temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief for the purposes of restraining the other from any actual or threatened breach of or otherwise enforcing these provisions and no bond or security will be
required in connection therewith. 
 9. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and limited to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

 10. COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILES. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile shall be effective for all purposes. 

11. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. 
 (A) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with its express terms, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts
of laws principles. 
 (B) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 8 (relating to the ability
of a Party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court), any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration. A Party must file a demand for
arbitration within the same statute of limitations period applicable to the legal claim asserted. The demand for arbitration and/or statement of claim must specify (a) the factual basis on which the claim is made; (b) the statutory
provision or legal theory under which the claim is made; and (c) the nature and extent of any relief or remedy sought. The arbitration will be administered in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”), in the New York, New York metropolitan area before an experienced employment law arbitrator licensed to practice law in that jurisdiction who has been selected in accordance with such Rules. The fees of the AAA and the
arbitrator and the administrative expenses of any such arbitration proceeding will be shared equally by the Company and the Executive. Each party may be represented by counsel of its or his own choosing and at its or his own expense. The
arbitrator’s award will be enforceable, and a judgment may be entered thereon, in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the state where the arbitration was held. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding.

13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT This Agreement, including its Attachments, represents the entire agreement between the Parties and
supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and cannot be changed or terminated orally. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the provisions of an ISO,
NQO or SAR grant agreement and/or the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (with respect to awards made thereunder), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control except to the extent that the provisions of the ISO, NQO or SAR
grant agreements and/or the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan are more favorable to the Executive. Upon the Commencement Date, the Agreements between RB, Inc. and the Company dated September 11, 2011 and February 12, 2012 shall
terminate. 
 14. WAIVER. The failure of any Party or person to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this
Agreement (including all attachments) on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that Party or person of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement (including all
attachments). Any waiver must be in writing and must specifically identify the provision(s) of this Agreement (including all attachments) being affected. 
 15. END OF TERM. The provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 shall continue after the end of the Term. 

  
 - 17 -

 16. ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 16, this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive, and shall be assignable by the Company only to any
corporation or other entity that succeeds to all, or substantially all, of the Company’s business or assets, and that expressly assumes (or assumes by operation of law in any merger or consolidation) the Company’s obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that no such assignment shall invalidate or negate the rights of the Executive pursuant to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, any such rights relating to a Change of Control. In any such event, the term
“Company,” as used herein shall mean the Company, as defined above, and any such successor or assignee. In the event of the Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incapacity, references in this Agreement (including its
attachments) to the “Executive” shall be deemed to include, as appropriate, his estate, heirs and/or legal representatives. 
 17. CODES. The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers which are currently posted on the
Company’s website. The Executive is expected to require compliance with those codes by the employees covered thereby and to comply himself. 
 18. DEDUCTIONS. The Company may deduct from the compensation described herein any applicable Federal, state and/or city withholding taxes, any applicable social security contributions, and any
other amounts which may be required to be deducted or withheld by the Company pursuant to any Federal, state or city laws, rules or regulations or any election he shall have made. 

19. SECTION 409A. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: 

(A) It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement will either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and all
regulations, guidance and other interpretive authority issued thereunder so as not to subject the Executive to payment of any additional tax penalty or interest imposed under Section 409A, and this Agreement will be interpreted on a basis
consistent with such intent. References to Termination Date or termination of employment herein mean a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A. 

(B) To the extent that the reimbursement of any expenses or the provision of any in-kind benefits under this Agreement is subject to
Section 409A, (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided during any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be
provided, in any other calendar year (provided that this clause (i) will not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Internal Revenue Code Section 105(b) solely because such expenses are subject to a
limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect); (ii) reimbursement of any such expense shall be made by no later than December 31 of the year following the calendar year in which such expense is incurred; and (iii) the
Executive’s right to receive such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

  
 - 18 -

 (C) Whenever payments under this Agreement are to be made in installments, each such
installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period
shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 
 (D) To the extent any amount payable to the Executive is subject to his
entering into a release of claims with the Company and any such amount is a deferral of compensation under Section 409A and which amount could be payable to the Executive in either of two taxable years, and the timing of such payment is not
subject to terms and conditions under another plan, program or agreement of the Company that otherwise satisfies Section 409A, such payments shall be made or commence, as applicable, on the fifth business day following the date the release
condition described in Section 4(B) is satisfied, provided however, that, if the 52 day release effective period spans more than one calendar year, the payment shall be made on the first business day of the second calendar year or, if later,
the fifth business day following the date the release condition is satisfied. 
 20. EXPENSES OF PREPARATION OF
AGREEMENT. Each of the Company and the Executive shall bear its own expenses for the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, provided that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for his legal fees with respect to this Agreement to a
maximum of $40,000. 
 21. PURCHASE OF COMPANY STOCK. During the period beginning on the
Commencement Date and ending on the 30th Open Window
Trading Day following the Commencement Date, the Executive may purchase from the Company up to 200,000 shares of the Common Stock (but in no event more than 1% of the outstanding number of shares at the time of purchase) at fair market value at the
time of purchase. 
 22. CAPTIONS. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be
given any effect in the interpretation of this Agreement.

 Exhibit A 
 GENERAL RELEASE 
 1. GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS 

The undersigned individual (the “Executive”) hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges any and all known and unknown
liabilities, debts, obligations, causes of action, demands, covenants, contracts, liens, controversies and any other claim of whatsoever kind or nature that the Executive ever had, now has or may have in the future against Kid Brands, Inc. (the
“Company”), its shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, directors, attorneys, fiduciaries, representatives, employees, licensees, agents and assigns (the “Releasees”), to the extent arising out of
or related to the performance of any services to or on behalf of the Company or the termination of those services and other than claims for payments, benefits or entitlements preserved by Section 4, and claims for indemnification, advancement
of expenses and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage under Section 3(H), of the Employment Agreement dated as of March 14, 2013, between the Company and the Executive (the “Employment Agreement”),
including without limitation: (i) any such claims arising out of or related to any federal, state and/or local labor or civil rights laws including, without limitation, the federal Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1871, 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the
Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Rehabilitation Act, the Jury Systems Improvement Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act, the National Labor Relations Act,
the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, the New York Human Rights Law, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the New Jersey wage and hour laws, and the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the
California Labor Code; (ii) any and all other such claims arising out of or related to any contract, any and all other federal, state or local constitutions, statutes, rules, regulations or executive orders; or (iii) any and all such
claims arising from any common law right of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, any claims for any kind of tortious conduct, promissory or equitable estoppel, defamation, breach of the Company’s policies, rules, regulations,
handbooks or manuals, breach of express or implied contract or covenants of good faith, wrongful discharge or dismissal, and/or failure to pay, in whole or part, any compensation of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “Executive’s
Claims”). 
 Execution of this Release by the Executive operates as a complete bar and defense against any and all of the
Executive’s Claims against the Company and/or the other Releasees. If the Executive should hereafter assert any Executive’s Claims in any action or proceeding against the Company or any of the Releasees, as applicable, in any forum, this
Release may be raised as and shall constitute a complete bar to any such action or proceeding and the Company and/or the Releasees shall be entitled to recover from the Executive all costs incurred, including attorneys’ fees, in defending
against any such Executive’s Claims. 

 Executive further waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits which he has or may have
under California Civil Code § 1542 to the fullest extent that he may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of this Release. Civil Code § 1542 provides that a general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. Executive acknowledges that he is aware that he may later
discover facts in addition to or different from those which he now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Release, but it is his intention to fully and finally forever settle and release any and all claims, matters,
disputes, and differences, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, which now exist, may later exist or may previously have existed between the parties to the extent set forth in the first paragraph hereof, and that in furtherance of this
intention this Release shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete general release to the extent set forth in the first paragraph herein, notwithstanding discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts. 

2. OPPORTUNITY FOR REVIEW 
 The Executive acknowledges that he has had a reasonable opportunity to review and consider the terms of this Release for a period of at least 45 days, that he understands and has had the opportunity to
receive counsel regarding his/ her respective rights, obligations and liabilities under this Release and that to the extent that the Executive has taken less than 45 days to consider this Release, the Executive acknowledges that he has had
sufficient time to consider this Release and to consult with counsel and that he does not desire additional time to consider this Release. As long as the Executive signs and delivers this Release within such 45 day time period, he will have seven
days after such delivery to revoke his decision by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Company. If the Executive does not revoke his decision during that seven-day period, then this Release shall become effective on the eighth day
after being delivered by the Executive. 
 3. BINDING EFFECT 

This Release is binding on the Executive’s heirs and personal representative.

 4. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS 

The provisions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 of the Employment Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Release as if fully
set forth herein. Any claim or dispute arising under or relating to this Release, or the breach, termination or validity of this Release, shall be subject to Section 11 of the Employment Agreement.

 ATTACHMENT 1 
 [ISO] 
 KID BRANDS, INC. 

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 Date of Grant: March     , 2013 
 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) dated as of the date set forth above between Kid Brands, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), and Raphael Benaroya (the “Grantee”). 
 1. Confirmation of Grant; Exercise Price. The Company hereby confirms the grant to the Grantee, effective as of the date set forth above, of an Incentive Stock Option (the “Option”) with
respect to 200,000 shares of the Common Stock, stated value $0.10 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $            per share (“Exercise
Price”). The Option granted hereunder is issued under and subject to the terms of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference, and the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, all in accordance with the Employment Agreement entered into between the Company and the Grantee dated March 14, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used in this
Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and the Employment Agreement. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan and the Employment Agreement, the provisions of the Employment Agreement shall
control. The Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, although the Company makes no representation or guarantee that the Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. 

2. Vesting. Except as provided in Section 3 below, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows subject to the continued
employment of the Grantee on the respective vesting date: 
  

					
	 Date of Grant
	  	 	— 50,000 shares	  
	 First anniversary of Date of Grant
	  	 	— 50,000 shares	  
	 Second anniversary of Date of Grant
	  	 	— 50,000 shares	  
	 Third anniversary of Date of Grant
	  	 	— 50,000 shares	  

 To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the Date of Grant) of the shares of Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit
(according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. 

 3. Accelerated Vesting Provisions; Termination of Option. 

 

	 	(a)	Normal Expiration Date. Unless an earlier expiration date is specified in this Section 3, the Option shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Date of
Grant and not be exercisable thereafter. 

  

	 	(b)	Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason (in
either case, within the meaning of and as described in the Employment Agreement), then (i) to the extent not previously vested, the Option shall become immediately vested on the date of termination of employment, and (ii) the Option shall
be exercisable for the remainder of its ten-year term. 

  

	 	(A)	Termination for Cause or without Good Reason. In the event that, before the Option is fully vested, the Company terminates the employment of the Grantee for
Cause or the Grantee terminates his employment without Good Reason, the portion of the Option that has not yet vested shall immediately terminate and be forfeited and, to the extent not previously exercised, the vested portion of the Option will
continue to be exercisable until the earlier expiration date determined under and in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of Section 4(A) of the Employment Agreement (as they pertain to a termination for Cause or without Good
Reason). 

  

	 	(B)	Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability (within the meaning of the Employment Agreement), any
previously unvested portion of the Option shall become vested on the date of termination of employment to the same extent as if the Grantee had competed an additional two years of service with the Company after the Termination Date and, to the
extent vested, shall be exercisable for one year after the Termination Date or the expiration of the ten-year term of the Option, whichever is shorter. 

 4. Transferability. The Option shall not be transferable other than to a designated beneficiary in the event of the Grantee’s death as set forth below or by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and shall be exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime, subject to Section 3, only by the Grantee. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that a violation of this Section 4 will cause the Company irreparable injury for which
adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief, without the posting of any bond, to prevent the breach of this Section 4
and to enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any state thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or equity. If the Grantee dies before the expiration
of the Option, the Grantee’s designated beneficiary shall succeed to the Grantee’s rights with respect to the Option, subject to the provisions hereof. For this purpose, the Grantee may designate a beneficiary in writing to the Company and
may change a previous designation in the same manner. If no beneficiary is designated or if no designated beneficiary shall the Grantee, then the Grantee’s estate will be deemed to be his designated beneficiary.

 5. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares of
Common Stock. The shares covered by the Option have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form S-8 covering the Plan. The Company shall keep such registration statement effective until all the Grantee’s shares of
Common Stock covered thereby may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
 6.
Exercise and Tax Withholding. 
  

	 	(a)	Exercise. The Option may be exercised by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company which shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be
purchased. The exercise price of the Option shall be paid in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee: (a) by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Grantee; (b) to the extent the Option does not
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, by directing that the Company withhold shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise to satisfy the exercise price; or (c) by delivery of a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one of more brokerage firms. The Committee may prescribe any other methods
of paying the exercise price that it determines is consistent with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan. The Company may require the Grantee to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary: (i) to
evidence such exercise; and (ii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, applicable state securities laws or any other applicable law. 

 

	 	(b)	Withholding. If tax withholding is required on the exercise of the Option, the Grantee is required to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any
statutory U.S. federal, state and local tax withholding requirements with respect thereto (“Withholding Taxes”). Such remittance may be required prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in respect of the exercise of the Option
to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, in lieu of all or any portion of a cash payment in respect of Withholding Taxes, permit the Grantee to elect to have the Company withhold cash or shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined on the date the obligation to withhold or pay such taxes arises, equal to the amount (or portion thereof) required to be withheld. Any fraction of
a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy the Grantee’s Withholding Tax obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining number of shares shall be delivered to the Grantee. 

7. Adjustments. 
  

	 	(a)	The provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference to the extent applicable; provided that in no event will the Grantee be
treated less favorably than any other Plan participants with respect to any adjustment or non-adjustment of the Option. 

  
 - 3 -

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) occurs and the outstanding Option is not assumed or converted into
comparable awards with respect to stock of the acquiring or successor company (or parent thereof) , then, immediately prior to the Change of Control, the Option, whether or not previously vested, shall be converted into the right to receive cash or,
at the election of the Grantee, consideration in a form that is pari passu with the form of consideration payable to the Company’s stockholders in exchange for their shares, in the amount, form, manner, time(s) of payment and otherwise upon the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 4(D) of the Employment Agreement. If the Option is not assumed or converted (as described above), it may be canceled at the time of the Change of Control for no consideration if the per share exercise
price of the Option is greater than such per share fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock (determined with regard to all per share consideration, including the value of any contingent and/or deferred consideration payable in the Change
of Control transaction). 

  

	 	(c)	If, by reason of a change in capitalization described in this Section 7, the Grantee shall be entitled to new, additional or different shares of stock or
securities of the Company or any other corporation in respect of this Option, in the event that the Option continues, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable
to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, as the case may be, prior to such change in capitalization. 

 8. No Right
to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment or service by the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate or modify the
employment or retention of the Grantee at any time, with or without Cause. 
 9. No Rights as Stockholder. The Grantee shall have no
voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option until the exercise of the Option and the issuance of a certificate or certificates to him for Option shares in respect thereof.
No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. 
 10. Limitations on Delivery of Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate for Option shares hereunder unless the issuance of such certificate complies with
all applicable legal requirements including, without limitation, compliance with the provisions of applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the requirements of the exchange, if any, on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock may, at that time be listed. 

  
 - 4 -

 11. Disposition of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or herein to the
contrary, in the event that the disposition of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act, and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such shares shall be
restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act and Rule 144 or other regulations thereunder. The certificate evidencing any of such shares may contain a statement placed thereon to reflect their status as restricted
securities as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver or release of the Company’s registration obligations pursuant to Section 3(C) of the Employment Agreement, which
shall remain in effect and absolute. 
  

	12.	Miscellaneous.

$            per share (“Exercise Price”). The Option granted hereunder is granted pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement entered into between the Company and the

(B) Termination for Cause or without Good Reason. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by

Grantee. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that a violation of this Section 4 will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to
an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief, without the posting of any bond, to prevent the breach of this Section 4 and to enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or
any state thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may be transferred by a gift to a member of the Grantee’s Immediate Family or trusts for their benefit,

of the Grantee’s Commencement Date under the Employment Agreement and keep such registration statement effective until all the Grantee’s shares of Common Stock covered thereby may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the

be delivered to the Grantee. 
 7. Adjustments.

Company’s stockholders in exchange for their shares, in the amount, form, manner, time(s) of payment and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4(D) of the Employment Agreement. If the Option is not assumed or
converted (as described above), it may be canceled at the time of the Change of Control for no consideration if the per share exercise price of the Option is greater than such per share fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock

 ATTACHMENT 3 
 [SAR] 
 KID BRANDS, INC. 

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT 
 Date of Grant: March     , 2013 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of the date set forth above between Kid Brands, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), and Raphael Benaroya (the “Grantee”). 

1. Confirmation of Grant; Exercise Price. The Company hereby confirms the grant to the Grantee, effective as of the date set forth above, of
600,000 Stock Appreciation Rights (the “SARs”) at an exercise price of $            per SAR (“Exercise Price”). The SARs granted hereunder are granted pursuant to the
terms of the Employment Agreement entered into between the Company and the Grantee dated March 14, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”), and under the terms of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Unless
otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement and the Plan. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan and the
Employment Agreement, the provisions of the Employment Agreement shall control. 
 2. Replacement Options. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if and when the requisite stockholder approval described in Section 3(C)(iii) of the Employment Agreement is obtained, any unexercised SARs will be converted into non-qualified stock options for shares of Company
Common Stock on a one-for-one basis under the Plan at the Exercise Price and upon substantially the same other terms and conditions as the Cash SARs, all in accordance with said Section 3(C)(iii), in which case all references in this Agreement
to the Cash SARs or SARs will be deemed to refer to such non-qualified stock options (“Replacement Options”). For the sake of clarity, if the requisite stockholder approval is not obtained, the Cash SARs will continue in full force and
effect and will not be deemed to have become the Replacement Options. If the SARs are converted into Replacement Options, the shares covered by such Options will be registered shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Form
S-8 registration statement covering the Plan. The Company shall keep such registration statement effective until all the Grantee’s shares of Common Stock covered thereby may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The conversion of SARs for Replacement Options must be for all and not a portion of the unexercised SARs, and once the SARs are converted into Replacement Options, the SARs shall no longer exist or be exercisable

 3. Vesting. Except as provided in Section 3 below, the SARs shall vest as follows: 

 

			
	24 consecutive monthly installments starting on the last day of the calendar month in which the Date of Grant occurs and, thereafter	  	15,625 SARs per month
	24 Consecutive monthly installments starting on the last day of the calendar month in which the second anniversary of the Date of Grant occurs.	  	9,375 SARs per month

 Each SAR shall be exercisable solely for cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of
Company Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price per share set forth in Section 1 above, unless outstanding SARs are converted into nonqualified stock options in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 above.

 4. Accelerated Vesting Provisions; Termination of SARs. 
 (a) Normal Expiration Date. Unless an earlier expiration date is specified in this Section 3, the SARs shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant and not be exercisable
thereafter. 
 (b) Termination of Employment without Cause or for Good Reason. If the Grantee’s employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason (in either case, within the meaning of and as described in the Employment Agreement), then (i) any unvested SARs shall become immediately vested on the date of
termination of employment, and (ii) all outstanding SARs shall be exercisable for the remainder of their ten-year term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated without Cause prior to the first anniversary
of his Commencement Date, the Grantee will forfeit 250,000 of the SARs if (and only if) such forfeiture is mandated by the applicable provisions of Section 4(B) of the Employment Agreement. 

(c) Termination of Employment for Cause or without Good Reason. In the event that, before the SARs are fully vested, the Company
terminates the employment of the Grantee for Cause or the Grantee terminates his employment without Good Reason, the portion of the SARs that have not yet vested shall immediately terminate and be forfeited and, to the extent not previously
exercised, the vested portion of the SARs will continue to be exercisable until the earlier expiration date determined under and in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of Section 4(A) of the Employment Agreement (as they pertain
to a termination for Cause or without Good Reason). 
 (d) Special Payment Provision. If the Cash SARs are not converted
into Replacement Options, and if the Company fails to promptly make payment to the Grantee in cash upon exercise of all or any part of the vested Cash SARs at a time when such payment would cause an Event of Default under the Salus Credit Agreement,
the rights and obligations of the Company (or any successor or acquiring company or parent thereof) and of the Grantee shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement. 

  
 2 

 (e) Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by reason of
death or Disability (within the meaning of the Employment Agreement), any unvested SARs shall become vested on the date of termination of employment to the same extent as if the Grantee had competed an additional two years of service with the
Company after the Termination Date and shall be exercisable for one year after the Termination Date or the expiration of the term of the SARs, whichever is shorter. The remaining unvested SARs shall be forfeited. 

5. Transferability. Except as otherwise provided herein, the SARs shall not be transferable other than to a designated beneficiary in the event of
the Grantee’s death as set forth below or by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and shall be exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime, subject to Section 3, only by the Grantee. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that a
violation of this Section 4 will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable
relief, without the posting of any bond, to prevent the breach of this Section 4 and to enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any state thereof, in addition to any other remedy to
which it may be entitled at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SARs may be transferred by a gift to a member of the Grantee’s Immediate Family or trusts for their benefit, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.
“Immediate Family” shall mean a person’s spouse, parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, and brothers and sisters-in-law. If the Grantee dies before the expiration of the
SARs, the Grantee’s designated beneficiary shall succeed to the Grantee’s rights with respect to the SARs, subject to the provisions hereof. For this purpose, the Grantee may designate a beneficiary in writing to the Company and may change
a previous designation in the same manner. If no beneficiary is designated or if no designated beneficiary shall survive the Grantee, then the Grantee’s estate will be deemed to be his designated beneficiary. 

6. Restrictions on Exercise. The SARs may be exercised only with respect to full shares of Common Stock. 

7. Exercise and Tax Withholding. 
 (a) Exercise. Vested SARs may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company which shall specify the number of SARs to be exercised. On or within five
days after any such exercise, the Company shall pay to the Grantee an amount equal to the number of SARs being exercised multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the exercise date (determined in accordance with
the Plan) over the Exercise Price, less applicable withholding taxes (which taxes shall be remitted by the Company to the applicable tax authority). Upon an exercise of vested Replacement Options, if any, the exercise price for the shares covered by
such exercise shall be paid in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee: (a) by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Grantee; (b) by directing that the Company withhold shares otherwise
deliverable upon exercise to satisfy the exercise price; or (c) by delivery of a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. To facilitate the
foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The Committee may prescribe any other method of paying the exercise price that it determines is consistent with applicable law and the
purpose of the Plan. The Company may require the Grantee to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary: (i) to evidence such exercise; and (ii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, applicable state securities laws or any other applicable law. 

  
 3 

 (b) Withholding. If tax withholding is required on the exercise of Replacement
Options, the Grantee is required to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any statutory U.S. federal, state and local tax withholding requirements with respect thereto (“Withholding Taxes”). Such remittance may be required
prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in respect of the exercise of the Replacement Option to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, in lieu of all or any portion of a cash payment in
respect of Withholding Taxes, permit the Grantee to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Replacement Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined on the date the obligation to
withhold or pay such taxes arises, equal to the amount (or portion thereof) required to be withheld. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy the Grantee’s Withholding Tax obligation shall be disregarded and
the remaining number of shares shall be delivered to the Grantee. 
 8. Adjustments. 

(a) The provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference to the extent applicable; provided that in
no event will the Grantee be treated less favorably than any other Plan participants with respect to any adjustment or non-adjustment of the Option. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) occurs and the outstanding SARs are not assumed or converted into comparable awards with respect to stock
of the acquiring or successor company (or parent thereof), then, immediately prior to the Change of Control, the SARs, whether or not previously vested, shall be converted into the right to receive cash or, at the election of the Grantee,
consideration in a form that is pari passu with the form of consideration payable to the Company’s stockholders in exchange for their shares, in the amount, form, manner, time(s) of payment and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth
in Section 4(D) of the Employment Agreement. If the SARs are not assumed or converted (as described above), it may be canceled at the time of the Change of Control for no consideration if the per share exercise price of the SARs are greater
than such per share fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock (determined with regard to all per share consideration, including the value of any contingent and/or deferred consideration payable in the Change of Control transaction).

 (c) If, by reason of a change in capitalization described in this Section 8, the Grantee shall be entitled to new,
additional or different shares of stock or securities of the Company or any other corporation in respect of these SARs, in the event that the SARs continue, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions
and restrictions which were applicable to the shares of Common Stock subject to the SARs, as the case may be, prior to such change in capitalization. 

  
 4 

 9. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment or service by the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate or modify the employment or retention of the Grantee at any time, with or without Cause. 

10. No Rights as Stockholder. The Grantee shall have no voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of
Common Stock underlying a Replacement Option until the exercise of the Replacement Option and the issuance of a certificate or certificates to him for Replacement Option shares in respect thereof. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. 
 11. Limitations on Delivery of
Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate for Replacement Option shares hereunder unless the issuance of such certificate complies with all applicable legal requirements including, without limitation,
compliance with the provisions of applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of the exchange, if any, on which the
Company’s shares of Common Stock may, at that time be listed. 
 12. Disposition of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained
in the Plan or herein to the contrary, in the event that the disposition of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Replacement Option is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act, and is not otherwise exempt
from such registration, such shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act and Rule 144 or other regulations thereunder. The certificate evidencing any of such shares may contain a statement placed thereon
to reflect their status as restricted securities as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver or release of the Company’s registration obligations pursuant to
Section 3(C) of the Employment Agreement, which shall remain in effect and absolute. 
 13. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given to a party when: (a) delivered to the appropriate address by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid); (b) sent by facsimile or e-mail with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment;

STATEMENTS: 
 In connection with (a) the issuance of senior unsecured and unguaranteed notes (the
“Notes”) of the Borrower issued prior to the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $2,300 million (the “Notes Offering”), and (b) the refinancing of all of the Borrower’s outstanding loans and
commitments under its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2011 (as amended as of August 2, 2012 and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”),
among the Borrower, Scotiabank (as hereinafter defined), as administrative agent, each lender party thereto and the other agents and arrangers party thereto, including the termination of Swap Contracts entered into in connection therewith (the
“Refinancing” and together with the Notes Offering, and all other transactions related thereto (including, without limitation, the payment of related fees and expenses), the “Transactions”), the Borrower has
requested that, from time to time, (i) the Revolving Credit Lenders (as hereinafter defined) make revolving credit loans to the Borrower, (ii) the Swing Line Lender (as hereinafter defined) issue swing line loans to the Borrower and
(iii) the L/C Issuer (as hereinafter defined) issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), in each case to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the

 (e) For purposes of determining the applicable Tier of the grid in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate,” the “highest” Tier is Tier I and the
“lowest” Tier is Tier IV. 
 1.03 Accounting Terms. 

(a) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all
financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a
manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. 
 (b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP or the application thereof would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the
Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or
application thereof, as the case may be (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein
or application thereof, as the case may be and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth
a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP or application thereof, as the case may be. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no effect shall be
given to any change in GAAP arising out of a change described in the Accounting Standard Update Exposure Drafts related to Leases, Revenue Recognition and Financial Instruments or any other substantially similar pronouncement. 

1.04 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by
dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there
is no nearest number). 
 1.05 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be
references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 
 1.06 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise
specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or
the terms of any Issuer 

  
 -29-

 
Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, upon satisfaction of any and all conditions precedent to such automatic increase, the amount
of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. 

1.07 Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Articles II, IX and
X) or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by the Administrative Agent
at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. For purposes of this Section 1.07, the “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate determined by the
Administrative Agent to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately
11:00 a.m. on the date two Business Days prior to the date of such determination; provided that the Administrative Agent may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent if the Person
acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency. 
 ARTICLE II

 THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
 2.01 The Loans. 
 (a) The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability
Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total
Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of
each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this
Section 2.01(a). Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
 (a) Each
Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or
of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that, in each case, a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans that results from a continuation of an outstanding Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans

  
 -30-

 
may be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $300,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that, in each case, a Base Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the applicable Commitment. Each
Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be
borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the
Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans or, in the case of an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be continued as a Eurodollar
Rate Loan with an Interest Period of the same duration as the expiring Interest Period. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an
Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its
Applicable Percentage, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in
Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 3:00 p.m. on
the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice; provided that in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing on the Closing Date, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available in immediately available
funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than one hour after the Administrative Agent provides notice of the satisfaction of the conditions to the initial funding on the Closing Date. Upon satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with
Section 10.01) of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to
the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Scotiabank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance
with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings
outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Scotiabank’s prime rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

  
 -31-

 (e) After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving
Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. 

2.03 Letters of Credit. 
 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (other than a Special Purpose Finance Subsidiary), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by
it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility,
(y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by
the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may, during
the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the
Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter
of Credit if: 
 (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of
Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 
 (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date. 

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall
prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such
L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

  
 -32-

 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate in any material
respect one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally and customary for issuers of letters of credit; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000; 

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 

(E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing
thereunder; or 
 (F) (x) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c)
exists or (y) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, in each case unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with
the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or reasonably determined potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Sections 2.15(a)(iv) and 2.15(a)(v)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from
either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or reasonably determined potential Fronting Exposure. 

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

(v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the
documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C
Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer. 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C
Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed
issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail 

  
 -33-

 
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof;
(C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by
such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment;
and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any
Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not,
such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to
the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer
shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and
customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation
in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time
such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been
issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit in
its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or
before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not
then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 
 (iv) Promptly after its
delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

  
 -34-

 (v) For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer other than Scotiabank is
outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a report in the form of
Exhibit F hereto, appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from
the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by
the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such drawing;
provided that, if notice of such drawing is not provided to the Borrower prior to 9:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, then the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing
on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount in Dollars of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In
such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date (or the next succeeding Business Day, as the case may be) in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to
such L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the payment set forth
in Section 2.03(c)(ii) regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

 (iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

  
 -35-

 (v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C
Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such
L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date
on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
committed Loan included in the relevant committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of such L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d)
Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the
Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
under all circumstances, including the following: 

  
 -36-

 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other
right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; 

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the extent of any direct damages
(as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower or such Subsidiary to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower or such Subsidiary that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 
 The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment
thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to
have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (f)
Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuers shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents
expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent,
any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the
Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers,
the Administrative Agent, any of 

  
 -37-

 
their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C
Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuers shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of any L/C Issuer, (i) if the
applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) if, after the issuance of any Letter of Credit, any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or
(iii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, then the Borrower shall, in each case, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days) Cash Collateralize, as
applicable, in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to 
 Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash
Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender), (A) the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations or (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Applicable Percentage of such Defaulting Lender of the then Outstanding Amount of all
L/C Obligations, or, in the case of clause (iii), provide a back-to-back letter of credit in a face amount at least equal to the then undrawn amount of such L/C Obligation from an issuer and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
applicable L/C Issuer. Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and
the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Scotiabank. If at any time the
Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all
L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding
Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit
as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer. To the extent that, at any time, the amount of Cash Collateral exceeds the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all
L/C Obligations at such time and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be promptly refunded to the Borrower. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an
Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 

  
 -38-

 (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash
Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable
Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under
any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September
and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change
in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in
effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) exists, all overdue Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate. 
 (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly
to the respective L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed to between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the
case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to such L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on
demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (l) Letters of Credit Issued for
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder
for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 
 2.04 Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees it may, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, in its sole discretion make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from

  
 -39-

 
time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that
such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall be under no obligation to make Swing Line Loans at any time if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder (unless that Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Swing
Line Loan would be reallocated, in full, to non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.15(a)(iv)); provided, further, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving
Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on
the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan
in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.
Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date or such later time on the requested borrowing date as may be approved by the Swing Line Lender in its
sole discretion, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan
Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the
date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such
Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line
Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit
Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate

  
 -40-

 
Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a
copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan
Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in
accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the payment set forth in Section 2.04(c)(i) regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and such
Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any
amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line
Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation
in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lender. 

  
 -41-

 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on
any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each
Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for
invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 

2.05 Prepayments. 
 (a) Optional. 
 (i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $300,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment with respect to each Class of Loans to be prepaid and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of
such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage). If
such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that
such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of any facility or instrument refinancing all or a portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans or upon the consummation of an acquisition transaction, in which
case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 (ii) Each
prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 

(iii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time,
voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

  
 -42-

 (b) Mandatory. 

(i) If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize such L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

(ii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.05(b), first, shall be
applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations. Upon the drawing of any Letter of
Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or from time to time
permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business
Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
(A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after
giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. A notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit delivered by the Borrower may
state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any facility or instrument refinancing all or a portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments or upon the consummation of an acquisition transaction, in which case such notice
may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 
 (b) Mandatory. If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit
exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any
termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of
each Revolving Credit Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit
Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

  
 -43-

 2.07 Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each
Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date. 
 2.08 Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility; (ii) each Base Rate Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 (b) (i) If any amount of
principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (ii) If any amount (other than
principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders
such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as
may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j): 

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit
Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans
and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due
and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit
Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect. 

  
 -44-

 (b) Other Fees. 

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and each Arranger for their own respective accounts, fees as
separately agreed among the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or such Arranger, as the case may be. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(ii) 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. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. 

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) 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 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-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion
is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other
adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders reasonably determine that (i) the Consolidated Gross Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Gross Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the
Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period
over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or
2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 

2.11 Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions 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 Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower 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 

  
 -45-

 
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 Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as
provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing of Loans 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 Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share
available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) 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 in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding 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
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the foregoing, 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. 

  
 -46-

 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer 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 Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount
due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding 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. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be
made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to
purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
 (e) Funding Source. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner. 
 (f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts
of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties. 
 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) 

  
 -47-

 
the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of
its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time,
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 subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans
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 Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or
owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be; provided that: 
 (a) if any such
participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest; and 
 (b) the provisions of this Section 2.13 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), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the
provisions of this Section shall apply) or (C) cash collateral or other security given by the Borrower or any Lender to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Agreement. 
 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

2.14 Increase in Revolving Credit Facility; Incremental Term Loans. 

(a) Request for Increase. Upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request
(x) an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount (for all such requests, together with all requests pursuant to clause (y) below) not exceeding $500,000,000 (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”);
provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and/or (y) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and the loans
made pursuant thereto, the “Incremental Term Loans”) by an amount (for all such requests, together with all requests pursuant to clause (x) above) not exceeding $500,000,000; provided that any such request for an
increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. 
 (b) Additional Lenders. Each request for increase pursuant to
Section 2.14(a) shall specify the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased Incremental Revolving Commitments or such new Incremental Term Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts
of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased Incremental Revolving Commitments or the new Incremental Term Loan Commitments

  
 -48-

 
may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased Incremental Revolving Commitments or such new Incremental Term Loan Commitments. Any such allocation to an Eligible
Assignee shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and (solely with respect to an Incremental Revolving Commitment) each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld). 

(c) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment is
created, in each case in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase or
creation. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase or creation and the Increase Effective Date. 
 (d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, (w) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the
Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
increase or creation, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to
“materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date,
in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as the case may be) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or will result from such increase and the use of proceeds thereof and (C) the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such increase and the use of proceeds thereof, with the
financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 for the most recently ended Measurement Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 (with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments,
assuming a full borrowing of the Incremental Revolving Loans thereunder), (x) to the extent that the increase of the Commitments shall take the form of Incremental Revolving Commitments, the terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to such
Incremental Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Loans”) shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans, (y) to the extent that the increase of the Commitments shall take the form of the creation of one or more
new Incremental Term Loan Commitments, (i) the final maturity date of any such new tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any such Incremental
Term Loan Commitments shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) the terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans shall be, except as to pricing, amortization and
maturity, identical to the Revolving Credit Facility with such modifications as are appropriate to reflect the term loan nature of the Incremental Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Term Loans may, at the option of the Borrower,
if set forth in the incremental joinder agreement, share in prepayments up to (but not to exceed) on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Credit Facility under Section 2.05); provided that if the Applicable Rate for any Incremental
Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary such that the Applicable Rate for such
Incremental Term Loans less 50 basis points is equal to the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility, (x) original
issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Revolving Credit Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID
being equated to interest based on an assumed four-

  
 -49-

 
year life to maturity); provided that if such Incremental Term Loans include a Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate “floor” greater than the Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate
“floor” applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility, such increased amount shall be equated to Applicable Rate in a manner customary for financial institutions for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Rate for the
Revolving Credit Facility shall be required, and (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of
the Incremental Term Loans, shall be excluded. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Credit Loans shall be deemed to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and all references to
Loans (except, in the case of Incremental Term Loans under newly-created Incremental Term Loan Commitments, with respect to pricing, maturity and amortization) shall be deemed to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Term
Loans, in each case, made pursuant to any Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Commitments, respectively, made under this Section 2.14. With respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay
any Base Rate Loans outstanding on any Increase Effective Date and all Eurodollar Rate Loans at the earlier of the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or the occurrence of an Event of Default (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this
Section 2.14. With respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments, on any Increase Effective Date, each Revolving Credit Lender that increased its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14 and each Revolving
Credit Lender that became a Revolving Credit Lender in connection with this Section 2.14 (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan that remains unpaid and Letter of Credit
equal to its Applicable Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit and the participation of each other Revolving Credit Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii) will acquire (and will pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Applicable Percentage of all Unreimbursed Amounts, including all L/C Borrowings. Incremental Revolving Commitments and
Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be evidenced by a joinder agreement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that at the election of the Borrower, such additional commitments in respect of any Incremental Term
Loan Commitments may be implemented through the addition of additional new tranches of such loans instead of being implemented as increases in the applicable Commitments, if any). Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, the Loan
Documents may be amended by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender, other than any Lender participating in the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan
Commitments, as the case may be) in order to make any modifications, if necessary, to provide for Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loan Commitments and loans thereunder. 

(e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.13 or 10.01
to the contrary. 
 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) 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. That 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 Section 10.01. 

  
 -50-

 (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or
requested by any L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C
Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.03(g); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C
Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 2.15(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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. Promptly (x) upon
a Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(b) or (y) following termination of this Agreement (including the termination of all Letters of Credit issued hereunder) and the payment of all amounts owed
under this Agreement (other than unasserted contingent obligations which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement), all remaining amounts, if any, held in a deposit account pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) shall be
returned to such Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender
(x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.10 (a) for any period during which such 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) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03. 

  
 -51-

 (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting
Exposure. All or any part of that Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without
regard to that Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (calculated without regard to that Defaulting Lender’s Commitments) of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that each such
reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v) Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure with
respect to such Defaulting Lender; provided that such prepayment shall be applied to reduce such Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans and shall not reduce any non-Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing
Line Loans, and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(g). 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing
in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase 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 and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages
(without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that 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 such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 2.16
Extended Loans and Commitments. 
 (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or any portion
of the Loans and Commitments of any Class (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the final maturity date of such Loans and Commitments (any such Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Maturity Loans”
and any such Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Maturity Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16; provided that there may be no more than eight different
tranches in the aggregate for all Loans and Commitments under this Agreement without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In order to establish any Extended Maturity
Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice 

  
 -52-

 
to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity
Commitments, as applicable, to be established, which shall be substantially identical to the Loans under the Existing Class from which such Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments, as applicable, are to be converted, except
that: 
 (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Maturity Loans and/or
Extended Maturity Commitments (including the maturity date) may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Loans and/or Commitments (including the maturity date) of such Existing Class to the extent
provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; 
 (ii) the Applicable Rate with respect to the Extended Maturity
Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments may be different than the Applicable Rate for the Loans and/or Commitments of such Existing Class, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that if the
Applicable Rate for any such Extended Maturity Loans exceeds the Applicable Rate for the applicable Existing Class by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Rate for the applicable Existing Class shall be increased to the extent necessary so
that the Applicable Rate for such Extended Maturity Loans less 50 basis points is equal to the Applicable Rate for the applicable Existing Class; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Rate applicable to the applicable
Existing Class and the Extended Maturity Loans, (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the applicable Existing Class or the Extended Maturity Loans in the
primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity); provided, further, that if such Extended Maturity Loans include a Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate
“floor” greater than the Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate “floor” applicable to the applicable Existing Class, such increased amount shall be equated to Applicable Rate in a manner customary for financial institutions for purposes of
determining whether an increase to the Applicable Rate for the applicable Existing Class shall be required; 

(iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for amendments to the covenants that apply solely to such Extended Maturity
Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments; provided that such amended covenants may be no more restrictive in the aggregate than the covenants applicable to the applicable Existing Class under this Agreement after giving effect to the
Extension Amendment; and 
 (iv) the Extension Amendment may provide that optional and mandatory prepayments
pursuant to Section 2.05 be directed to prepay, at the Borrower’s option, first, the applicable Existing Class and, second, the Extended Maturity Loans. 
 Any Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a Class of Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments for
all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments converted from an Existing Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in
any previously established Class. 
 (b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five Business Days
prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans and/or Commitments of any Existing Class converted into Extended Maturity Loans and/or
Extended Maturity Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender wishing to have all or any portion of its Loans and/or Commitments under such 

  
 -53-

 
Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments, as applicable (such Lender, an “Extending Lender”),
shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans and/or Commitments under the Existing Class which it has elected to request be
converted into Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent); provided that for any Extension Request, the Borrower may establish
a maximum amount for such Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments (an “Extension Maximum Amount”). In the event that the aggregate amount of Loans and/or Commitments under the Existing Class subject to Extension
Elections exceeds the Extension Maximum Amount, then each Extending Lender’s amount of consented Loans and/or Commitments subject to an Extension Election shall be reduced on a pro rata basis such that the total amount of Extended
Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments shall equal the Extension Maximum Amount. 
 (c) Extended Maturity Loans
and/or Extended Maturity Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender, which shall be consistent with
the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) and (b) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than the Extending Lenders (including any changes contemplated by Section 10.01(f)), and which shall, in
the case of Extended Maturity Commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, make appropriate modifications to this Agreement (including to the definitions of “Availability Period,” “Revolving Credit Commitment,”
“Fronting Exposure” and “Applicable Percentage,” and to Sections 2.03 and 2.04) to provide for issuance of Letters of Credit and the extension of Swing Line Loans based on such Extended Maturity Commitments and make
any additional modifications, if necessary, to provide for terms applicable to Extended Maturity Commitments and Extended Maturity Loans thereunder. Only Extending Lenders will have their Loans and/or Commitments converted into Extended Maturity
Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments and, at the Borrower’s discretion, only Extending Lenders will be entitled to any increase in pricing or fees in connection with the Extension Amendment. Each Extension Amendment shall be binding on
the Lenders, the Borrower and the other parties hereto. 
 (d) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole
discretion that the allocation of Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity Commitments, in each case to a given Extending Lender, was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an
Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Extending Lender may (and hereby are authorized to),
in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”), which Corrective Extension Amendment shall
(i) provide for the conversion and extension of Loans and/or Commitments, as the case may be, under the Existing Class in such amount as is required to cause such Extending Lender to hold Extended Maturity Loans and/or Extended Maturity
Commitments, as the case may be, of the applicable Class into which such other Loans and/or Commitments, as the case may be, were initially converted, in the amount such Extending Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and
had such Extending Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans and/or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such
conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Extending Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 2.16(c)), and
(iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the first sentence of Section 2.16(c).

 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Certain Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Certain Taxes. 

(1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the applicable Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax from or with respect to any such payment, such Tax
shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Withholding Agent upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

(2) If the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes, then (A) such
Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by such Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Withholding
Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (C) to the extent that such withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes imposed on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document or on account of Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the
making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been made; provided, however, that in the case of a Withholding Agent that is not the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the amount payable under this clause (C) shall not exceed
the amount that would have been required to be paid had the Borrower or the Administrative Agent been the applicable Withholding Agent. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Laws. 
 (c) Tax Indemnifications. 

(1) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the extent imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document or otherwise with respect to any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by
the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 -55-

 (2) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above,
each Lender and each L/C Issuer, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Excluded Taxes attributable to
such Lender or such L/C Issuer (as the case may be) that are payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or related thereto) as a result of the failure by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 3.01(e), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may
be, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may
be, under this clause (2). The agreements in this clause (2) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. After
any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the relevant Lender or applicable L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 

(1) Each Lender and L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, when reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, (C) such
Lender’s, L/C Issuer’s or Administrative Agent’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (D) whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements or otherwise to establish such
Lender’s, L/C Issuer’s or Administrative Agent’s status for withholding tax purposes in any applicable jurisdiction. 
 (2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
 (i) each
Lender and each L/C Issuer that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be reasonably
requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such “United States person” became a Lender or an L/C Issuer under this Agreement, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9; and 

(ii) each Foreign Lender and each L/C Issuer that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
and the 

  
 -56-

 
Administrative Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or L/C Issuer becomes a Lender or an L/C
Issuer under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (I) in the case of a Foreign Lender and
any L/C Issuer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, an IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to such tax treaty, 

(II) in the case of a Foreign Lender and any L/C Issuer for whom any payments under this Agreement constitute income
that is effectively connected with such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor thereto), 

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender and any L/C Issuer that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this
Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender), (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (i) and (ii) (I), (II), (IV) and (V) of this paragraph (e)(2)
that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender or an L/C Issuer; provided, however, that if such Lender or such L/C Issuer is a partnership and one
or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender or such L/C Issuer may provide a Non-Bank Certificate (as described below) on behalf of such partners, 

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender or L/C Issuer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code, (x) a certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Non-Bank Certificate”)) to the effect that such Foreign Lender or L/C Issuer is not (A) a “bank” within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN, 
 (V) any other form prescribed by applicable Laws or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower as a basis for claiming any available exemption from or reduction in withholding Tax together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or 

(VI) if a payment made to a Foreign Lender or any L/C Issuer would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Foreign Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 Foreign Lender or such L/C
Issuer 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 and 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 and the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether Foreign Lender or such L/C 

  
 -57-

 
Issuer has complied with such Foreign Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this clause (VI), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (VII) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e)(2), in no event will any Lender or L/C Issuer be required to provide any documentation such Lender or L/C Issuer is
legally ineligible to deliver. 
 (3) Each Lender, L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any previously delivered form or documentation or any claimed exemption or reduction and provide updated documentation (or promptly notify Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of its legal ineligibility to do so). Each Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent that has previously delivered any documentation required herein shall, upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional copies of such form (or successor thereto) on or before the date such form expires or becomes obsolete or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal
ineligibility to do so. 
 (4) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, when reasonably requested by the
Borrower, a properly completed and executed applicable IRS form to permit the Borrower to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax, (B) if
applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction of such Tax, and (C) the Administrative Agent’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax in respect of any payments to be made to
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain
Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (in cash or applied as an offset against another cash Tax liability) of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest, additions to Tax or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C
Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and delivers to the Borrower evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of such repayment. This
subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such 

  
 -58-

 
Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate
Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine for any reason that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market,
(b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon
the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice; provided that any Eurodollar Rate Loan outstanding prior to such notice may remain outstanding until the end of the then-applicable Interest Period with respect thereto (without
giving effect to any subsequent continuation or conversion). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 3.04
Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (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 credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or any L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under
Section 3.01, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or
the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 -59-

 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an
L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (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 L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 L/C Issuer’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). 
 (e)
Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurodollar funds or deposits, additional
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall
be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.
If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 
 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender
harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion,
payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

  
 -60-

 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits). The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be
deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not
such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall 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 or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case
may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. 
 (b) Replacement of
Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
 3.07
Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and any resignation of the Administrative Agent or assignment
by or replacement of a Lender. 
 ARTICLE IV

requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be

such infringements or violations, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

such actions to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP. 

6.13 Preparation of Environmental Reports. If an Event of Default is continuing relating to Section 5.09 or
Section 6.12, or if the Administrative Agent at any time has reason to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities or
Environmental Claims, in each case which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, then the following procedure shall be implemented: 

(a) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that it intends to seek an environmental audit and/or assessment
report meeting the description in subsection (c) below, and shall consult with the Borrower on the facts and circumstances giving rise to the intent; 

(b) the Borrower shall have ten (10) Business Days to provide a response to and otherwise consult with the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders;

the Borrower, an environmental audit and/or assessment report with respect to any such Event of Default, violation, Environmental Liability, and/or Environmental Claim (“Environmental Audit”). An Environmental Audit may include,
where reasonably appropriate, soil, air, surface water and groundwater sampling and testing. The Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Environmental Audit
will, as relevant, indicate the presence or absence of any such violation, and/or the presence, absence, Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials and shall include the estimated cost of any compliance, removal, remedial or other action
required to correct any such Event of Default, or violation, and/or to address any such Environmental Liability and/or Environmental Claim; 

  
 -75-

 (d) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative
Agent determines at any time that a material risk exists that any such audit and/or report will not be provided within the time referred to above, the Administrative Agent may retain an environmental consulting firm to prepare such audit and/or
report at the expense of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby grants and agrees to cause any Subsidiary that owns, leases or operates any real property or facility described in such request to grant at the time of such request to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, such firm and any agents or representatives thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants, landlords or other Persons with interests in the applicable real property or facility, to enter onto
their respective properties or facilities to undertake such an audit and/or assessment; and 
 (e) without
limiting any term or provision of Section 10.07, in implementing the above described procedures, the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders will undertake steps deemed reasonable by them under the circumstances to accommodate specific
requests by the Borrower to maintain as confidential information concerning litigation or regulatory compliance strategy provided to them by the Borrower pursuant to this Section. 

6.14 Designation as Senior Debt. Designate all Obligations as “Designated Senior Indebtedness” (or similar term) under,

as no Default has occurred and is continuing, at the option of the Borrower, designate any Subsidiary (other than Ashland Licensing and Intellectual Property LLC and Ash GP LLC (in the case of Ash GP LLC, so long as Ash GP LLC is the general partner
of AshOne C.V.)) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary; provided that (i) in the case of designating a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, on a Pro Forma Basis, the Borrower shall be in
compliance with Section 7.11(a) for the most recently ended Measurement Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, (ii) the designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Borrower’s Investment in such Subsidiary and, at the time of such designation, the aggregate amount of
Investments made as a result of designations of Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall be subject to compliance with, and shall reduce the amounts available under, Sections 7.03(i) or
7.03(k) (as the Borrower may elect) and (iii) no Subsidiary may be re-designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it was previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Upon the effectiveness of the designation of a Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall for all purposes be deemed not to be a “Subsidiary” under and pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless and until such time, if ever, as it is re-designated to
be a Subsidiary as herein provided. The re-designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time;
provided that, by way of clarification and not limitation, such designation shall not be construed to be an acquisition by the Borrower or the Subsidiary that is the parent of such Unrestricted Subsidiary for the purposes of
Section 7.03.

 ARTICLE IX 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders
and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Scotiabank 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. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Section 9.06) are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than the rights of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.06).

 9.02 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, 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. 

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) 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; 
 (c) 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 Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 
 (d) 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 Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer; and 

  
 -90-

 (e) 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, (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 IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 9.04 Reliance by 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, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such
L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. 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. 
 9.05 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 IX 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 facilities
provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right 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, and in each case such successor shall require the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of
Default under Section 8.01(f) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no such successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, after consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among
the Revolving Credit Lenders meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) all payments, communications and
determinations provided, to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each applicable Lender and each applicable L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative

  
 -91-

 
Agent as provided for above in this Section. 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 retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 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, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall cease to be entitled to all such fees upon the effectiveness of its resignation as Administrative Agent. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Any resignation by
Scotiabank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, if applicable. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
(i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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 and each L/C Issuer 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.

 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication
Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative
Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder and (ii) in the case of the Arrangers, as specified in Sections 2.09(b)(i), 4.01(a) and (b), 6.02, 10.04 and 10.16. 

9.09 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation 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, 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, L/C Obligations and all other 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, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the 

  
 -92-

 
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) 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 in accordance with this Agreement; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers, 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 2.09 and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

Withholding. To the extent required by applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the
Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to
notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the
Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including
any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government
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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Article IX. The agreements in this Article IX shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. Unless required by
applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt,
for purposes of this Section 9.10, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer.

 ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent,
and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01 (other than Section 4.01(b)(i) or
(c) and except as expressly set forth in Section 4.01), or, in the case of the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.02, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to
Section 8.02) without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory
prepayment shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender); 
 (c) postpone any
date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for (i) any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under such other Loan Document without
the written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment or (ii) any scheduled reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Appropriate Lender; 

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause
(iv) of the third proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such amount; provided, however, that
only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend
any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder; 

(e) change Section 2.06(c), 2.13 or 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (f) change any provision of this
Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required 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 (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders or pursuant to Section 2.14, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments on the date hereof); or 
 (g) impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly
adversely affected thereby; 
 and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the L/C Issuers in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuers under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) 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 

  
 -94-

 Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) any fee letter may only be amended, and the rights or
privileges thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by each of the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the
Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of
Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender) and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects
any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 If any
Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may replace such non-consenting
Lender by an assignment of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments at par in accordance with Section 10.13; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by
such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Loan Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) solely to cure a defect or error. 
 10.02 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection
(b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b). 

  
 -95-

 (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply
to notices to any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes,
(i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as
available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at
the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 (c) The Platform. 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 IN OR OMISSIONS FROM 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 the Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier number, telephone number or email address for notices and other communications
hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier number, telephone number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of
such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including 

  
 -96-

 
United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and
that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic
Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its
own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08
(subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 10.04 Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and invoiced
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Arrangers and Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of

(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer) in connection with the enforcement, during an Event of Default, or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) Indemnification by the
Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnitee, which shall be
limited to one counsel to all Indemnitees (exclusive of one local counsel to all Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction) and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the
Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, another counsel for such affected Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with,
or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence, Release, or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property or facility owned or operated by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) 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 or such Indemnitee’s Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives of such Indemnitee or its Subsidiaries,
(y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) resulted from any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee
against any other Indemnitee other than any proceeding by or against any Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent or an Arranger. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be
paid by it to any Arranger, the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Arranger, the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent),
such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, 

  
 -98-

 
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any L/C Issuer 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) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the
provisions of Section 2.12(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, the Borrower 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 Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No
Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 10.05 Payments Set
Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or
the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such
Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 
 (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 the Borrower may not 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 Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the 

  
 -99-

 
restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers 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 Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum
Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Revolving Credit Facility 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 subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the 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 a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, 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, however, that concurrent
assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes
of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 
 (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 the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause
(ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of the Swing Line Loans; 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by 
 subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower will be deemed to have consented to any such assignment if it does not respond
within ten Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund or (3) such assignment is made by an Arranger during the primary syndication of the Revolving Credit Facility; 

  
 -100-

 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Revolving Credit
Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 
 (C) the consent of
the Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer will be deemed to have consented to any such assignment if it does not respond within ten
Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 (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 in
the amount of $3,500; and provided, further, that 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 Borrower. No
such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi)
No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to a natural person or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (A) or (B). 
 (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 (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund
as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable 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 subsection (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 

  
 -101-

 
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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that,
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 Section 10.06(d). 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation,
of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any 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, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line 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,
the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may, as may
be agreed between such Lender and such Participant, provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b); provided that such Participant complies with the provisions of Section 3.06 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.06(b).
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant complies with Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each
Lender shall maintain a register of the names, addresses, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the interests of the Participants to which such Lender has sold participations. 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 and interest amounts of each 

  
 -102-

 
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement)
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Sections
871(h) or 881(c) of the Code in connection with any Tax audit or other Tax proceeding of the Borrower. 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. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the date such Participant acquired the applicable
participation. 
 (f) 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 (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such
Lender; 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. 

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
Scotiabank assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Scotiabank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender.
In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, hereunder; provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Scotiabank as L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and no such appointment shall be effective until the Lender so appointed shall have
accepted such appointment in writing. If Scotiabank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Scotiabank
resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the
Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and 

  
 -103-

 
instructed to keep such Information confidential, and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall be responsible for compliance by such
Persons with such obligations), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Person that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause (c) shall notify the Borrower in advance of such
disclosure (if permitted by applicable Law) or shall provide the Borrower with prompt written notice of such disclosure, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof
relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any such Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of
their respective Affiliates 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, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 2.15 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 

  
 -104-

 
setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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. 
 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In
determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 10.10 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
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; provided that the provisions of
the Commitment Letter that survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement (as set forth in paragraph 7 thereof) shall survive in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter and shall not be superseded by this Agreement. 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 telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect
only to the extent not so limited. 

  
 -105-

 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (w) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, (x) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (y) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or
(z) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, 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 10.06; provided that the consent of the assigning Lender shall not be required in
connection with any such assignment and delegation), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative
Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.01, Section 3.04, or Section 3.05); 
 (c) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

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. 
 10.14
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL
BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY
BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER 

  
 -106-

 
LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 

10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 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. 

10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other
hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions
of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant
parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers has any obligation to the Borrower
or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests
to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency
or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

  
 -107-

 10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) 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. 
 10.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the
“Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or
such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
