 For purposes of computation of periods of time hereunder, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but
excluding.” 
  

	1.3	Accounting Terms. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, and all financial statements and
certificates and reports as to financial matters required to be delivered to the Lenders hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. All calculations made for the purposes of determining compliance with this
Credit Agreement shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be made by application of GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the most recent annual or quarterly financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1;
provided, however, if (a) the Borrower shall object to determining such compliance on such basis at the time of delivery of such financial statements due to any change in GAAP or the rules promulgated with respect thereto or
(b) the Agent or the Required Lenders shall so object in writing within 60 days after delivery of such financial statements, then such calculations shall be made on a basis consistent with the most recent financial statements delivered by the
Borrower to the Lenders as to which no such objection shall have been made. 
 Notwithstanding the above, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of all calculations made under the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 (including without limitation for purposes of the definitions of “Applicable Percentage” and “Pro
Forma Basis” set forth in Section 1.1), in connection with any merger or consolidation as referred to in Section 8.4 or any Acquisition as referred to 

  
 27 

 
in the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” set forth in Section 1.1, income statement items (whether positive or negative) attributable to any Person or Property
acquired in any Permitted Acquisition shall, to the extent not otherwise included in such income statement items for the Consolidated Parties in accordance with GAAP or in accordance with any defined terms set forth in Section 1.1, be
included to the extent relating to any period applicable in such calculations. 
  

	1.4	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 Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, 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. 
 SECTION 2 
 CREDIT FACILITIES 

 

	2.1	Loans. 

 (a) Loans. 
 (i) Revolving Committed Loans. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the revolving
credit loans requested by the Borrower in Dollars (the “Revolving Committed Loans”) from time to time from the Initial Closing Date until the Revolver Maturity Date, or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall have been
terminated as provided herein for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that (i) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender’s share of outstanding Revolving Committed Loans, Swingline Loans and LOC
Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount, and (ii) with regard to the Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Committed Loans,
Swingline Loans and LOC Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. 
 (ii) Single-Draw
Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower such Lender’s Single-Draw Commitment Percentage of a
single-draw loan in Dollars (the “Single-Draw Loan”) on the First Amendment Effective Date up to the Single-Draw Commitment of such Lender. Amounts repaid on the Single-Draw Loan may not be reborrowed. 

(iii) Generally. The Revolving Committed Loans and the Single-Draw Loan (each a “Class” of Loans)
may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request, and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that no more than twelve
(12) Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings,
extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new single Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period. 

  
 28 

 (b) Loan Borrowings. 

(i) Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall request a Loan borrowing by written notice in the form of a Notice of
Borrowing to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day prior to the date of the requested borrowing in the case of Base Rate Loans, and on the third Business Day prior to the date of the requested
borrowing in the case of Eurodollar Loans, provided that requests for borrowings of the Single-Draw Loan to be made on the First Amendment Effective Date may, at the discretion of the Agent, be given with less advance notice than as specified
above. Each such request for borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) that a Revolving Committed Loan or the Single-Draw Loan is requested, as applicable, (B) the date of the requested borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),
(C) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed, and (D) whether the borrowing shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or a combination thereof, and if Eurodollar Loans are requested, the Interest Period(s) therefor. If
the Borrower shall fail to specify in any such Notice of Borrowing (I) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month, or (II) the type of
Loan requested, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan hereunder. The Agent shall give notice to each affected Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(i),
the contents thereof and each such Lender’s share of any borrowing to be made pursuant thereto. 
 (ii)
Minimum Amounts. Each Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Revolving Committed Loans, the remaining amount of
the Revolving Committed Amount, if less). 
 (iii) Advances. Each Lender will make its Revolving
Commitment Percentage or Single-Draw Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of each Loan borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Borrower as specified in Section 3.15(a), or in such other manner as the Agent may specify in
writing, by 1:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the
Agent by crediting an account of the Borrower identified in an Account Designation Letter received from the Borrower or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time, with the aggregate of the amounts made available
to the Agent by the Lender; provided that the Agent shall not be obligated under any circumstances to forward amounts to any account not listed in an Account Designation Letter. The Borrower may at any time deliver to the Agent an Account
Designation Letter listing any additional accounts or deleting any accounts listed in a previous Account Designation Letter. 
 (c) Repayment. 
 (i) The principal amount of all Revolving
Committed Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Maturity Date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2. 

  
 29 

 (ii) The principal amount of the Single-Draw Loan shall be due in
installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the table below (such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 3.3), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to
Section 9.2.

 (d) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, 

(i) Base Rate Loans. During such periods as Loans shall be comprised in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans, such
Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Base Rate. 
 (ii) Eurodollar
Loans. During such periods as Loans shall be comprised in whole or in part of Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. 

Interest on Loans shall be payable in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified
herein). 
 (e) Notes. Any Lender may request that (i) Revolving Committed Loans made by it be
evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to such Lender in an original principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount, and (ii) the Single-Draw Loan made by it
be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to such Lender in an original principal amount equal to such Lender’s Single-Draw Commitment, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1(e), with appropriate
insertions (each such promissory note a “Note”). 

  
 30 

	2.2	Letter of Credit Subfacility. 

 (a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents, if any, and any other terms and conditions which any Issuing Lender may reasonably require and in reliance upon
the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees to issue, and each Revolving Lender severally agrees to participate in the issuance by such Issuing Lender of, standby Letters of Credit in Dollars from time to time
from the Initial Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date as the Borrower may request, in a form acceptable to such Issuing Lender; provided, however, that (i) the LOC Obligations outstanding shall not at any time
exceed SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS ($60,000,000) (the “LOC Committed Amount”); (ii) with regard to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s share of outstanding Revolving Committed Loans and Swingline Loans and LOC
Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount; and (iii) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Committed
Loans, Swingline Loans and LOC Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. No Letter of Credit shall (x) have an original expiry date more than one year from the date of issuance or (y) as originally issued or as extended,
have an expiry date extending beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. The issuance date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. 

(b) Notice and Reports. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted by the Borrower to
the applicable Issuing Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to such Issuing Lender), with a copy to the Agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
request, such Issuing Lender will confirm with the Agent that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit request from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such Issuing Lender
has received written notice from any Lender, the Agent or any Credit Party, 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
Section 5.2 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Lender shall, on the requested day, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment,
as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. Each Issuing Lender will, on the last Business Day of each month and more frequently upon request, deliver to the Agent, a
detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto that may have occurred since the date of the prior report, and including therein, among other
things, the beneficiary, the face amount and the expiry date, as well as any payment or expirations which may have occurred. The Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders not less frequently than quarterly as to the Letters of
Credit outstanding hereunder (and in any event, to an individual Lender from time to time upon the request of such Lender). 
 (c) Reimbursement. 
 (i) In the event of any drawing under
any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent. Not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Letter of

  
 31 

 
Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”) (or, if such notice was first received by the Borrower on the date of such payment, not later than the next succeeding Business Day), the
Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of
the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
Revolving Committed Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1(b)(ii) for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). 

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) make funds available to the
Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at the office of the Agent specified in Section 11.1 in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Committed Loan that is a Base
Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of a Revolving Committed Loan that is a Base Rate Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2
cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Lender a LOC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LOC Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LOC Borrowing and shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.2. 

(iv) Until a Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Committed Loan or Letter of Credit Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.2(c) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such
Issuing Lender. 
 (v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Committed Loans or Letter of
Credit Advances to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.2(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing 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; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Committed Loans pursuant

  
 32 

 
to this Section 2.2(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of an Letter of
Credit Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided
herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable
Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c) by the time specified in Section 2.2(c)(ii), such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the 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 Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d)
Renewal, Extension. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder. 

(e) Uniform Customs and Practice and International Standby Practice. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version
thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. 
 (f)
Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties. 
 (i) In addition to its other obligations under
this Section 2.2, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay, and protect, indemnify and save each Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) that such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of the applicable Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of
Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government Acts”). 

(ii) As between the Borrower and the Lenders (including each Issuing Lender), the Borrower shall assume all risks of the
acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No Lender (including each Issuing Lender) shall be responsible: (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason; (C) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, 

  
 33 

 
cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (D) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (E) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting
of each Issuing Lenders’ rights or powers hereunder. 
 (iii) In furtherance and extension and not in
limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Lender (including each Issuing Lender), under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith,
shall not put such Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any other Credit Party. It is the intention of the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify each Lender (including each
Issuing Lender) against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower (on behalf of itself and each of the other Credit Parties), including, without limitation, any and all
Government Acts. No Lender (including each Issuing Lender) shall, in any way, be liable for any failure by such Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the
control of such Lender. 
 (iv) Nothing in this subsection (f) is intended to limit the reimbursement
obligations of the Borrower contained in subsection (d) above. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (f) shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Lenders (including each Issuing Lender) to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement. 

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (f), the Borrower shall have no obligation to
indemnify any Lender (including each Issuing Lender) in respect of any liability incurred by such Lender (A) arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or
(B) caused by such Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction,
unless such payment is prohibited by any law, regulation, court order or decree. 
 (g) Responsibility of
Issuing Lenders. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of each Issuing Lender hereunder to the Lenders are only those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement; provided, however, that nothing set forth in
this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Revolving Lender to recover from the applicable Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2 in
the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender. 

  
 34 

 (h) Limitation on Obligation of each Issuing Lender. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, each Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if: 
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing a Letter of Credit, or any applicable law,
rule or regulation or any request or directive (having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or any such Letter of Credit in particular, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to any such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated
hereunder) not in effect on the Initial Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, costs or expense which was not applicable on the Initial Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender should deem material to it in
good faith or if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender; or 
 (ii) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in
its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either
the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other LOC Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. 

(i) Conflict with LOC Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Credit Agreement and any LOC Document
(including any letter of credit application), this Credit Agreement shall control as among the parties hereto. 
  

	2.3	Swingline Loans. 

 (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity,
agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) from time to time from the Initial Closing Date until the Revolver Maturity Date for
the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($25,000,000) (the “Swingline Committed
Amount”), and (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Committed Loans outstanding plus LOC Obligations plus obligations in respect of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the aggregate
Revolving Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder shall be made as a Base Rate Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Swingline Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements, including the
delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 3.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Swingline Loan then proposed to be made or all Swingline Loans as to which the Swingline Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect
in its sole discretion. 

  
 35 

 (b) Swingline Loan Advances. 

(i) Notices; Disbursement. Whenever the Borrower desires a Swingline Loan advance hereunder, the Borrower shall
give written notice in the form of a Notice of Swingline Borrowing to the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day of the requested Swingline Loan advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable
and shall specify (A) that a Swingline Loan advance is requested, (B) the date of the requested Swingline Loan advance (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan advance requested. Each
Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and shall have such maturity date as set forth in clause (iii) below. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by 3:00 P.M., (Charlotte, North Carolina time),
on the Business Day of the requested Swingline Loan advance. 
 (ii) Minimum Amount. Each Swingline Loan
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining amount of the Swingline Committed Amount, if less). 

(iii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. The principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the
earlier of (A) a date that is ten (10) Business Days from the date of advance thereof or (B) the Revolver Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders,
demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Committed Loan advance, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Committed Loan advance comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline
Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to the Revolver Maturity Date and on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1 and
upon acceleration of the Indebtedness hereunder and the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving Committed
Loan in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (A) the amount of such borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Committed Loans otherwise required
hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or Event of Default then exists, (D) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Committed Loan to be
made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (E) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which Revolving Committed Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (F) any termination of the Revolving Commitments relating
thereto immediately prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Committed Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement
of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received
from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon
its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount, provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation
is purchased and (B) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing 

  
 36 

 
Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender in accordance with the terms of subsection (c)(ii) hereof, interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each
day from and including the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

 (d) Swingline Note. The Swingline Lender may request that Swingline Loans made by it be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in an original principal
amount equal to the Swingline Committed Amount. 
  

	2.4	Incremental Term Loans. 

 (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, to add a new tranche of single-draw loans (an “Incremental Single-Draw

of such date, other than those representations and 

  
 37 

 
warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent that any representation and warranty

 (xi) the all in yield (whether in the form of
interest rate margins, original issue discount, upfront fees or an adjusted Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate floor (but excluding any arrangement or underwriting fees paid to arrangers for their own account), with such increased amount being equated to
interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable interest margin with respect to the Single-Draw Loan) applicable to the Incremental Single-Draw Loan will not be more than 0.25% higher than the corresponding all in yield

(xii) subject to the foregoing clauses, the interest rate margins, final maturity date and weighted average life to
maturity applicable to the Incremental Single-Draw Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Incremental Single-Draw Loan.

 SECTION 3  

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDIT FACILITIES 

 

	3.1	Default Rate. 

 (a) 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. 
 (b) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Credit 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) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay
interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Credit Party Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. 

(d) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable
upon demand. 
  

	3.2	Extension and Conversion. 

 Subject to the terms of Section 5.2, the Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Loans into a subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into
Loans of another interest rate type; provided, however, that (i) except as provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) Eurodollar Loans may be extended, and Base Rate Loans may be converted into Eurodollar Loans, only if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of extension or conversion, (iii) Loans extended as, or converted into,
Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and shall be in such minimum amounts as provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii), (iv) no more than
twelve (12) Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the
same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period), (v) any request
for extension or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month and (vi) Swingline Loans may not be extended or converted pursuant to this
Section 3.2. Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving a Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the office of the Agent specified in
Section 11.1, or at such other office as the Agent may designate in writing, prior to 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day of, in the case of the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and
on the third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a Eurodollar Loan as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the date of the proposed extension or conversion, specifying the date of the proposed extension or
conversion, the Loans to be so extended or converted, the types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate, the applicable Interest Periods with respect thereto. Each request for extension or

  
 39 

 
conversion shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower of the matters specified in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of
Section 5.2. In the event the Borrower fails to request extension or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with this Section, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Section, then such
Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed extension or conversion affecting
any Loan. 
  

	3.3	Prepayments. 

 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon notice to the Agent, to prepay Revolving Committed Loans and the Single-Draw Loan in whole or in part from time to time;
provided, however, that ) (i) such notice must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base
Rate Loans, and (ii) each partial prepayment of any such Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 (or, if less, the full remaining principal amount of Revolving Committed Loans or Single-Draw
Loan, as applicable, then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Class of the Loans being repaid, whether such Loans to be prepaid are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, and, if Eurodollar
Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. 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. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.12. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the
Revolving Committed Loans or Single-Draw Loan (as applicable) of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentage or Single-Draw Commitment Percentages, as applicable. Any prepayment of the Single-Draw Loan shall be
applied ratably to the remaining principal amortization payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of prepayment if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Credit Agreement and such
refinancing is not consummated or is delayed. 
 (b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the
Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then
outstanding). 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. 
 (c) Revolving Committed Amount. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Revolving Committed Loans plus Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations outstanding shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Revolving Committed Loans and (after
all Revolving Committed Loans have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (d) Generally. All prepayments under this Section 3.3 shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or penalty. 

  
 40 

	3.4	Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

 (a) Termination and Reduction. The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $5,000,000 or
in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent; provided, however, no
such termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Committed Loans, Swingline Loans and LOC Obligations to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, unless, concurrently with such
termination or reduction, the Revolving Committed Loans are repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of receipt by the Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 3.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Revolving Committed Amount if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the Credit Agreement and such
refinancing is not consummated or is delayed. 
 (b) Maturity Dates. The Revolving Commitments of the
Lenders, the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender and the LOC Commitment of each Issuing Lender shall automatically terminate on the Revolver Maturity Date. The Single-Draw Commitments of the Lenders shall automatically terminate on the
earlier of (x) the Single-Draw Loan being advanced and (y) the day immediately following the First Amendment Effective Date. 
 (c) General. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5(b), on the date of each reduction of the Revolving Committed
Amount, the Commitment Fee accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced. 
  

	3.5	Fees. 

 (a) Upfront Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent (i) for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in immediately available funds on or before the Initial Closing Date an upfront fee (the
“Upfront Fee”) in the amount provided in the Bank of America Fee Letter, and (ii) for the benefit of the Single-Draw Lenders in immediately available funds on or before the First Amendment Effective Date an upfront fee (the
“Upfront Fee”) in the amount provided in the Wells Fargo First Amendment Fee Letter. 
 (b)
Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the
Applicable Percentage times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Committed Loans and (y) the Outstanding Amount of LOC
Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.19. The Commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Initial Closing Date until the Revolver Maturity Date (and thereafter so long as any Revolving Committed Loans,
Swingline Loans or LOC Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 5.2 is not met, and will be payable quarterly in arrears (x) on the first Business Day following the
last day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof), commencing with the first such date to occur after the Initial Closing Date, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
first such payment date after the First Amendment Effective Date shall be the first business day following September 30, 2012, and (y) on the Revolver Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The Commitment Fee shall be

  
 41 

 
calculated at a per annum rate quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Percentage during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Percentage was in effect. For purposes of clarification, Swingline Loans shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of
the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount. 
 (c) Letter of Credit Fees. 

(i) Letter of Credit Issuance Fee. In consideration of the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower
promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such
Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage; 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 applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be payable, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.19(a)(iv), with the
balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account. The Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears (x) on the first Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and
December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the first such payment date after
the First Amendment Effective Date shall be the first business day following September 30, 2012, and (y) on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. 

(ii) Issuing Lender Fees. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account a
fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Wells Fargo First Amendment Fee Letter or the Credit Agricole CIB Fee Letter, as applicable, or any other Fee Letter or other agreement between the applicable
Issuing Lender and the Borrower, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day following the last day
of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof), 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 1.4. In addition, the Borrower shall
pay directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the applicable Issuing Lender 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. 
 (d) Administrative Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, an annual administrative fee and such other fees, if any, referred to in the Wells Fargo First Amendment Fee
Letter. 

  
 42 

	3.6	Capital Adequacy. 

If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity requirements, or compliance by such Lender or any Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender
or such Issuing Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender or such Issuing Lender
to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such reduction. Each determination by any
such Lender or any Issuing Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an
Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender, 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 Issuing Lender’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). 
  

	3.7	Limitation on Eurodollar Loans. 

 If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan: 
 (a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Required Lenders reasonably determine (which
determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period; 

then the Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation
to make additional Eurodollar Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay
such Eurodollar Loans or convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. 
  

	3.8	Illegality. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar
Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable). 

  
 43 

	3.9	Requirements of Law. 

 (a) If any Change in Law: 
 (i) shall subject such Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or any Issuing Lender to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, if any, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such
Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement or its Notes, if any, in respect of any Eurodollar Loans (other than Excluded Taxes set forth in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Indemnified
Taxes covered by Section 3.11 and Other Taxes) or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender; 

(ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement relating to
any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or 

(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any Issuing Lender or on the United States market
for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or its Notes, if any, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments or participations in Letters of Credit held by,
such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or any Issuing Lender 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 any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any Issuing Lender under this Credit Agreement or its Notes, if any, with respect to any
Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, on demand, such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduction. If any Lender or Issuing Lender
requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 3.9(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to
convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, or issue Letters of Credit until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable); provided
that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 
 (b)
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.9 and will designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section 3.9 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower 

  
 44 

 
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender, 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 Issuing Lender’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).

  

	3.10	Treatment of Affected Loans. 

 If the obligation of any Lender to make any Eurodollar Loan or to continue, or to convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.8 or 3.9
hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by
Section 3.8 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.8 or
3.9 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: 
 (a) to the extent that such Lender’s
Eurodollar Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued
instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 
 If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such
Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.10 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such
Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans of each
Class held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments or Single-Draw Commitments, as
applicable. 
  

	3.11	Taxes. 

 (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
Taxes. If the Borrower or the Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Recipient, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.11) such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions of Taxes, (iii) the Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

  
 45 

 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future
stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Agent (within 10 days after deemed therefor) for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.11) paid by such Lender, Issuing Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) (i) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States and that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Credit Documents shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on
the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains
lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled
to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Credit Agreement is effectively connected with
the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is
entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. 
 (ii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Credit Agreement or other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 46 

 (e) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 3.11, then such Lender or Issuing Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce
any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or such Issuing Lender. 

(f) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. 
 (g) If any party determines, in
its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall
repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment
of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other party. 

(h) Indemnification of the Agent. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of
the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.3(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply
any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (h). The agreements in paragraph
(h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent. 
 (i) Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.11 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents
and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 

  
 47 

	3.12	Compensation. 

Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable
opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or reasonable expense (including loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2) on a date other than the
last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including,
without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 5 to be satisfied) to borrow, convert, continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date for such borrowing, conversion, continuation, or prepayment
specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation, or conversion under this Credit Agreement. 
 With respect to
Eurodollar Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date
of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such
failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing
such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The covenants of the Borrower set forth in this Section 3.12 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other
obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 
  

	3.13	Pro Rata Treatment. 

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: 
 (a) Loans. Each Loan of any Class, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loan of any Class or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of
interest on the Loans or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each payment of the Letter of Credit Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or
extension of any Loan of any Class, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans and Participation Interests of the applicable Class. 

(b) Advances. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its obligation to make
its ratable share of a borrowing hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the Agent shall have been
notified by any Lender prior to the date of any requested borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent its ratable share of such borrowing to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Agent on the date of such borrowing, and the 

  
 48 

 
Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion but without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not
in fact made available to the Agent, the Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify
the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each
day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the
applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  

	3.14	Sharing of Payments. 

 The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, LOC Obligations or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement
through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim,
received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly
purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in
accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien,
counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that
benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan, LOC Obligations or other
obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender or the Agent shall fail to remit to the Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender or the Agent
to the Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to
the Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14
applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such
secured claim. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to
apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the
application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.18, or (C) 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 LOC Obligations or
Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

  
 49 

	3.15	Payments, Computations, Etc. 

 (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder shall be made to the Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or
withholding of any kind, at the Agent’s office specified in Section 11.1 not later than 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day. The Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent (with notice to the Borrower).
The Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Agent the Loans, LOC Obligations, Fees, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the
event that it fails so to specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Agent may determine to be appropriate in respect of obligations owing
by the Borrower hereunder, subject to the terms of Section 3.13(a)). The Agent will distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 12:00 Noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on a Business Day in like
funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Agent will distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and Fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the
payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except with respect to computation of interest on Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of
borrowing, but exclude the date of payment. 
 (b) Allocation of Payments After Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party
Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents or in respect of the Pledged Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows: 

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents; 
 SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Agent; 
 THIRD, to the
payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the
Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender; 

  
 50 

 FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Credit Party Obligations consisting of
accrued fees and interest; 
 FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Party
Obligations (including the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations); 
 SIXTH, to
all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and 

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled to receive such
surplus. 
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until
exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender bears
to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts
available for distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied
(A) first, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in
clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 3.15(b). 
  

	3.16	Evidence of Debt. 

 (a) Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender shall maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts and to promptly update its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary. 

(b) The Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.3(c), and a subaccount for each Lender, in
which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest Period of each such Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from or for the account of the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. The Agent shall maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding
sentence and to promptly update such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary. 
 (c) The entries made in the
accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.16 (and, if consistent with the entries of the Agent, subsection (a)) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain any such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 51 

	3.17	Replacement of Affected Lenders. 

 If any Lender having a Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender or if any Lender is owed increased costs under Section 3.6, Section 3.8, or Section 3.9, or the Borrower
is required to make any payments under Section 3.11 to any Lender in excess of those to the other Lenders, or if any Lender refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Credit Agreement that, pursuant to
Section 11.6, requires consent of 100% of the Lenders and is consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower shall have the right, if no Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced
Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to
the Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.17, the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such parties and the Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans by, the
Replaced Lender hereunder and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans so replaced (including, without limitation, such increased costs and excluding those specifically described in clause
(i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment
documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of an appropriate Note executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender
shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such replaced Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Credit Agreement, which shall survive as to such
Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (1) the Lender that acts as an Issuing Lender may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements
satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral
account maintained with the Agent in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (2) the Lender that acts as the Agent may not be replaced
hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 10.7. The Replaced Lender shall be required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes, to the extent applicable, to be canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such
Note is lost or unavailable, such other assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request. 
  

	3.18	Cash Collateral. 

 (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Agent or any Issuing Lender (i) if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and
such drawing has resulted in an LOC Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LOC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding
Amount of all LOC Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Agent, an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent Cash Collateral in an amount
sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.19(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 
 (b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at
Wells Fargo. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, 

  
 52 

 
hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first
priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash
Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.18(c). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash
Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an
amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. 
 (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.18 or Sections 2.2, 2.3, 3.3, 3.19 or 9.2 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be
held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LOC Obligations, Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and
other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. 
 (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the
applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.3(b)(vi))) or
(ii) the Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of
a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 3.18 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 3.15(b)), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable
Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 

 

	3.19	Defaulting Lenders. 

 (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that 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 Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.6. 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for
the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of
any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined
by the Agent or requested by an Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline

  
 53 

 
Loan or 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 Credit Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Credit Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit 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 Credit 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 LOC Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LOC Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LOC Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loan of, or LOC Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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. 
 (iii)
Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 3.5(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to
pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 3.5(c)). 

(iv) Reallocation of Revolving Commitment Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there
is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections
2.2 and 2.3, the “Revolving Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such
reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date of such reallocation, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each such non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of such Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Committed Loans of such Lender. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent (and, solely with respect to Defaulting Lenders that are
Revolving Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders) agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of
the effective 

  
 54 

 
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline
Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.19(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

SECTION 4 

GUARANTY 
  

	4.1	The Guaranty. 

Subject to Section 4.8, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a
Lender that enters into a Hedging Agreement or enters into an Equity Swap Agreement, and the Agent as hereinafter provided the prompt payment of the Credit Party Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Credit Party Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Credit Party Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, Hedging Agreements or Equity Swap Agreements, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of
any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and
including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code). 
  

	4.2	Obligations Unconditional. 

 Subject to Section 4.8, the obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, Hedging Agreements or Equity Swap Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or
security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all 

  
 55 

 
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of the Credit
Party Obligations for amounts paid under this Section 4 until such time as the Lenders (and any Affiliates of Lenders entering into Hedging Agreements or Equity Swap Agreements) have been paid in full, all Commitments under this Credit
Agreement have been terminated and no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Lenders in connection with monies received under the Credit Documents, Hedging Agreements or Equity
Swap Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which
shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 
 (a) at any time or from time to time, without
notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement, any Equity
Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents, Hedging Agreements or Equity Swap Agreements shall be done or omitted; 
 (c) the maturity of any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of

	4.3	Reinstatement. 

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 4 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any
reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Credit Party Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Credit Party Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or

 Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Credit Party Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to

	4.5	Remedies. 

 The
Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Credit Party Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in
Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2) for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Credit Party Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Credit Party Obligations being deemed to
have become automatically due and payable), the Credit Party Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1. The Guarantors
acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof. 

 

	4.6	Rights of Contribution. 

 The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an
amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.6 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full to the Agent and the Lenders of the Guaranteed Obligations, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 4.6 against any other Guarantor until payment and satisfaction in full of all of
such Guaranteed Obligations. For purposes of this Section 4.6, (a) “Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean any obligations arising under the other provisions of this Section 4; (b) “Excess
Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Guaranteed
Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts
and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of
all assets and other properties of the Borrower and all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of 

  
 57 

 
all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder) of the
Borrower and all of the Guarantors; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Pro Rata Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the
date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with
such payment; and (d) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrower and all of the Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment
exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder) of the Borrower and all of the
Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent
to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor
in connection with such Excess Payment. This Section 4.6 shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of
any payment of Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations pursuant to
Section 8.4. 
  

	4.7	Continuing Guarantee. 

 The guarantee in this Section 4 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Credit Party Obligations whenever arising. 

 

	4.8	Limitation of Liability. 

 Anything in this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding: 
 (a) so long as Lincare Canada shall not have any assets other than the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, the aggregate amount recoverable from Lincare Canada for application to any Credit Party
Obligation or any “Secured Obligation” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), whether by means of (i) the application of proceeds of Collateral owned by Lincare Canada, (ii) optional prepayment by Lincare Canada,
(iii) payment by Lincare Canada of, or sale of or foreclosure on, payables of Lincare Canada owed to any other Credit Party, which payments, or the proceeds of which sale or foreclosure, are applied by the recipient thereof to any Credit Party
Obligation or any “Secured Obligation” or (iv) enforcement by the Agent or any Lender hereunder or other Secured Party (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) of any of their rights hereunder or thereunder or otherwise, shall not exceed
the actual amount realized from the sale of foreclosure on any Collateral owned by Lincare Canada; and 
 (b) so
long as Lincare Canada shall not have any assets other than the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, the obligations of Lincare Canada under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are and shall be non-recourse obligations of Lincare
Canada, payable 

  
 58 

 
solely from the Collateral of Lincare Canada. Following realization and distribution of all proceeds of the Collateral of Lincare Canada, any and all claims arising from this Credit Agreement and
any other Credit Document, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, shall be extinguished against Lincare Canada.

 (c) Cash Collateral. Direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f), it will
immediately pay) to the Agent additional cash, to be held by the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the LOC Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters
of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.

 SECTION 10 
 AGENCY PROVISIONS 
  

	10.1	Appointment and Authorization of Agent. 

 Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes
the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section are
solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

The Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Credit Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender and
Swingline Lender (if applicable)) and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and each Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on
Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Credit Party Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11 (including Section 11.5(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Credit Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
  

	10.2	Delegation of Duties. 

 The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The 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 Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties
of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 

 

	10.3	Liability of Agent. 

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the 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 

  
 80 

 
the other Credit Documents that the 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 Credit Documents), provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or
applicable law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity. 
 The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.6 and 9.2) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the
applicable Issuing Lender. 
 The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit 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 Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the
sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. 

 

	10.4	Reliance by Agent. 

The 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 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 the applicable Issuing Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender
or the applicable Issuing Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with
legal counsel, 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. 

 

	10.5	Notice of Default. 

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to
defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Credit Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of 

  
 81 

 
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 

 

	10.6	Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agent. 

 Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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 Credit Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 Credit Agreement, any
other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
  

	10.7	Indemnification of Agent. 

 Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, to the extent that the Borrower for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5 to be paid
by it to an Agent-Related Person, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation
of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Credit
Party Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
  

	10.8	Agent in its Individual Capacity. 

 The Person serving as the 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 Agent and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the 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 any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

  
 82 

	10.9	Successor Agent. 

The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, each Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such
notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor acceptable to the Borrower, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and
each Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the 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 Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security
held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in
this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring (or
retired) Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section and
Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Agent was acting
as Agent. 
 Any resignation by Wells Fargo as the Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as
Swingline Lender and as an Issuing Lender under this Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and
(iii) the successor Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender to effectively
assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
  

	10.10	Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 

 In case of the pendency of any Bankruptcy Event or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LOC Obligation shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the 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,
LOC Obligations and all other Credit Party Obligations arising under the Credit Documents 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, each Issuing Lender

  
 83 

 
and the Agent (including, without limitation, any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, each Issuing Lender and the Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, each Issuing Lender and the Agent under Sections 3.5 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Lender, to pay to the Agent any amount due
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 3.5 and 11.5. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or
any Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Credit Party Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
Issuing Lender in any such proceeding. 
  

	10.11	Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 

 The Lenders and each Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Credit Party Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Asset Disposition permitted hereunder or under
any other Credit Document or any Excluded Asset Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.6; and 
 (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.11. 
  

	10.12	No Other Duties; Etc. 

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

such Person now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes, if any, under any other Credit Document or otherwise, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such
obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify any affected Credit Party after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and
any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit 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 Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit 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 Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including
for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in LOC Obligations and in Swingline 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 and the related Loans at the time owing to it 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 Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as
of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such 

  
 87 

 
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 assignee (or to an 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 Loans and Commitments assigned, and rights and obligations with respect thereto, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline 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) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 (B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Commitment subject to such assignment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;
and 
 (C) the consent of each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and 

(D) the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
any assignment in respect of Revolving Committed Loans and Revolving Commitments. 
 (iv) Assignment and
Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount $3,500; provided, however, that the 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 immediately prior to such assignment, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) a
natural person. 
 (vi) 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 

  
 88 

 
parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the 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 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 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 Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a
Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the 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 Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). 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 Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this
Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
 (c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the 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 amounts of the Loans and LOC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the 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 Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person 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 Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LOC Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations 

  
 89 

 
under this Credit 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 Agent, the other Lenders and each Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (ix) of the Section 11.6(a)
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 3.6, 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.2 as though it were a
Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Commitments or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have
no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, 3.9 or 3.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.11(d) as though it were a Lender. 

(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 Credit 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; 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) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a

  
 90 

 
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. 
 (h) Resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if at any time an Issuing Lender assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above such Issuing Lender, may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Lender and/or (ii) if the Swingline Lender assigns all of its Commitments
and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Swingline Lender may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall
be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Issuing
Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If an Issuing Lender resigns as such, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all LOC 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 2.2(d)). If Wells Fargo resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline 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 Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender and/or Swingline
Lender, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (2) the successor Issuing Lender 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 applicable Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of such applicable Issuing
Lender, with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
  

	11.4	No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. 

 No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Agent or any Lender
and any of the Credit Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit
Party in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand. 
  

	11.5	Expenses; Indemnification. 

 (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the syndication,
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, and amendment of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel 

  
 91 

 
(including all reasonable fees, time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent) for the Agent with respect thereto with respect to advising the Agent as to its
rights and responsibilities under the Credit Documents. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any, in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings, or otherwise) of the Credit Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder. 
 (b)
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Credit Parties agree to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Person that acted as an arranger in connection with the
execution of this Credit Agreement on the Initial Closing Date, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against:
(i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than the Agent or any Lender), whether brought by a third party or any Credit Party, relating directly or indirectly to a
claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against any Credit Party, any Affiliate of any Credit Party or any of their respective officers or directors; (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of
action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Credit Party Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Agent or the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or
relating to, the Credit Documents, any predecessor Credit Documents, the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, the relationship of any Credit Party, the Agent and the Lenders under this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any actual or alleged breach of any Environmental Law, whether brought by a third party or any Credit Party; (iii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising
out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in subsection (i) or (ii) above; and (iv) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorney costs, including all fees, time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or
proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not arising out of the negligence of an Indemnitee, and whether or not an
Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any
claim caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. The agreements in this Section shall
survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all the Credit Party Obligations. 
 (c)
Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Credit Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any
Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate Commitments and Loans of all Lenders at such time) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any
of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. 

  
 92 

	11.6	Amendments, Waivers and Consents. 

 Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver,
discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, the Required Lenders and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, provided, however, that: 

(a) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, no such amendment, change or waiver shall: 

(i) extend the final maturity of any Loan or the time of payment of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof,
arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, or extend or waive the principal payment of any Loan, or any portion thereof; 
 (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or Fees or costs hereunder;

 (iii) reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan (except for the waiver of a mandatory prepayment
required by Section 3.3(b) hereof) or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit; 
 (iv) increase the Commitment of a Lender over the amount thereof in effect (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall
not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender); 
 (v) release all or substantially all of
the Pledged Collateral; 
 (vi) except as the result of or in connection with a dissolution, merger or
disposition of a Subsidiary permitted under Section 8.4, release the Borrower or substantially all of the other Credit Parties from its or their obligations under the Credit Documents; 

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.6 or Section 3.14; 

(viii) reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders; 

(ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or all or substantially all of the other Credit Parties of any
of its or their rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Credit Documents except as permitted thereby; or 
 (x) change Section 3.14 or Section 3.15(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; 

  
 93 

 (b) without the consent of the Agent, no provision of Section 10
may be amended; 
 (c) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, no provision of Section 2.2 may be
amended; 
 (d) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, no provision of Section 2.3 may be
amended; 
 provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) each Fee Letter may
be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, (ii) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender
acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Credit
Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 
 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 any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or
extended without the consent of such 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. 
  

	11.7	Counterparts. 

This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Credit Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart for each of the parties hereto. Delivery by facsimile by any
of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement shall be as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.

 The
headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Credit Agreement.

 All
indemnities set forth herein, including, without limitation, in Section 2.2(h), 3.6, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 10.7 or 11.5 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of
the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, and all representations and warranties made by the
Credit Parties herein shall survive delivery of the Notes, if any, and the making of the Loans hereunder. 

  
 94 

	11.10	Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. 

 (a) THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County or the Southern District of New York, and, by

further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for

commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction. 
 (b)
Each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in subsection (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in
an inconvenient forum. 
 (c) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE BORROWER AND
THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

  

	11.11	Severability. 

 If
any provision of any of the Credit Documents is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving
effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. 
  

	11.12	Entirety. 

 This
Credit Agreement together with the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or
correspondence relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated herein and therein. 
  

	11.13	Binding Effect; Termination. 

 (a) This Credit Agreement shall become effective at such time on or after the Initial Closing Date when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Agent, and the Agent shall have
received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken 

  
 95 

 
together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and each Lender and
their respective successors and assigns. 
 (b) The term of this Credit Agreement shall be until no Loans, LOC
Obligations or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents shall remain outstanding, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, all of the Credit Party Obligations have been irrevocably satisfied in full and all of
the Commitments hereunder shall have expired or been terminated. 
  

	11.14	Conflict. 

 To the
extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision hereof, on the one hand, and any provision of any Credit Document, on the other hand, this Credit Agreement shall control. 

 

	11.15	Confidentiality. 

Each of the Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (excluding equity security departments and their
members) and to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) under any Hedging Agreement relating to Loans outstanding under this Credit Agreement (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (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, (d) to
any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit 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 Credit Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Credit Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or
(h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender 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 a Credit Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, 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 Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender 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 federal and state securities laws.

  
 96 

	11.16	No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 

 In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Credit Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging
or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Credit Parties and their

 Exhibit 10.1 
 LIGAND PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED 
 2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 (AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE MAY 31, 2012) 

ARTICLE ONE 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	I.	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

 This
2002 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s and its Subsidiaries’ service with the opportunity to acquire
a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in such service. 
 Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. 
  

	II.	STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN 

 A.
The Plan shall be divided into three separate equity incentives programs: 
 1. the Discretionary Option Grant
Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, 
 2. the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock, and 

3. the Other Stock Award Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted
restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalents. 
 B. The provisions of Articles One, Five and Six
shall apply to all equity programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

	III.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

A. The Primary Committee shall have sole and exclusive authority to administer the Plan with respect to Section 16 Insiders (other
than non-employee Board members, whose Awards shall be administered by the full Board, as provided below). Administration of the Plan with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in those programs may, at the Board’s discretion, be
vested in the Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power to administer those programs with respect to all such persons. However, any discretionary Awards for members of the Primary Committee must be authorized by a
disinterested majority of the Board. 
 B. Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee shall serve for such
period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to such committee.

 C. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and
authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of
those programs and any outstanding Awards thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an
interest in the equity incentive programs under its jurisdiction or any Award thereunder. 

  
 1 

 D. Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall constitute service as a
Board member, and members of each such committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee. No member of the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall be
liable for any act or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Awards under the Plan. 
 E. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the full Board shall administer the Plan with respect to any Awards to the non-employee members of the Board. In addition, in its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties
of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be
determined in the sole discretion of the Primary Committee. 
  

	IV.	ELIGIBILITY 

 A. The
persons eligible to participate in the Discretionary Option Grant, Stock Issuance and Other Stock Award Programs are as follows: 
 (i) Employees, 
 (ii) non-employee members of the Board or the
board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 
 (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who
provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
 B. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its
administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those
grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule
(if any) applicable to the option shares, the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and such other terms and conditions of such option as the Plan Administrator determines are appropriate, (ii) with respect to stock
issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when the issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to
the issued shares, the purchase price, if any, and consideration for such shares and such other terms and conditions of such issued shares as the Plan Administrator determines are appropriate, and (iii) with respect to other Awards under the
Other Stock Awards Program, which eligible persons are to receive such Awards, the type of Award, the time or times when the issuances are to be made, the number of shares subject to such Award to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule
(if any) applicable to the Awards, the consideration for such Awards and such other terms and conditions of such Awards as the Plan Administrator determines are appropriate. 

 

	V.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

A. Subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section V, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to
Awards under the Plan is 4,579,254 shares, which number shall be reduced at any time by (i) one share for each share subject to any outstanding Award that is not a Full Value Award, and (ii) 1.5 shares for each share subject to any
outstanding Award that is a Full Value Award. 
 B. No one person participating in the Plan may receive Awards for more than
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year. 
 C. To the extent all or a portion of an Award is
forfeited, expires or such Award or portion thereof is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award or portion thereof, shall, to the 

  
 2 

 
extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan in an amount corresponding to the reduction in the share reserve previously
made in accordance with Section V.A above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following shares of Common Stock shall not be added to the shares of Common Stock authorized for grant under Section V.A and will not be
available for future grants of Awards: (i) shares of Common Stock tendered by an Optionee or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an option; (ii) shares of Common Stock tendered by the Optionee or Participant or
withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an option or stock appreciation right; (iii) shares of Common Stock subject to a stock appreciation right that are not issued in connection with the stock
settlement of the stock appreciation right on exercise thereof; and (iv) shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options. Shares of Common Stock tendered by the Participant or withheld by
the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to a Full Value Award shall be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan in an amount corresponding to the reduction in the share reserve previously made in accordance
with Section V.A. above. Any shares of Common Stock forfeited by the Participant or repurchased by the Company under Article Three, Section I.C at a price not greater than the price originally paid by the Participant so that such shares are returned
to the Company will again be available for Awards in an amount corresponding to the reduction in the share reserve previously made in accordance with Section V.A. above. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding
Awards shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section V.C, no shares of Common Stock may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive
Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. 
 D. If any change is made to the
Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock or cash dividend (other than normal cash dividends), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration, equitable adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for
which any one person may be granted Awards under the Plan per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and continuing non-employee
Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise or purchase price per share in effect under each outstanding Award under the Plan, and (v) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without
limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto). Such adjustments to the outstanding Awards are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such Awards.
The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 E. Subject to Article Two,
Section III, Article Three, Section II and Article Four, Section V, in the event of any transaction or event described in Section V.D or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation,
or the financial statements of the Corporation or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, including, without limitation, a Change in Control or a Hostile Take-Over, the Plan Administrator, in its sole
and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Optionee’s or
Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Plan Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles: 

1. To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the
amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Optionee’s or Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in
this Section V.E the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that no 

  
 3 

 
amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Optionee’s or Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Corporation without
payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion; 
 2. To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar Awards covering the stock of the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; 
 3. To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and/or in the terms and conditions of (including
the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards; 
 4. To provide that such Award
shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable award agreement; and 

5. To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event. 

F. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other
distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Corporation assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Common Stock or the share price of the Common Stock, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Corporation in its
sole discretion may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any such transaction. 
 ARTICLE TWO 
 DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 

 

	I.	OPTION TERMS 

 Each option
shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be
subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 
 A. EXERCISE PRICE. 

1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
 2. The exercise price
shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the forms specified below: 

(i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, 

(ii) shares of Common Stock held by the Optionee or otherwise issuable upon exercise of the option and valued at Fair
Market Value on the Exercise Date, 
 (iii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a
special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions to (a) a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the
Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the
Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale, or 

  
 4 

 (iv) with the consent of the Plan Administrator, a promissory note bearing
interest at no less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of interest under the Code. 
 Except to the extent
such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Optionee who is a member of the Board or an
“executive officer” of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an option, or continue any extension of credit with respect to the exercise of an option,
with a loan from the Corporation or a loan arranged by the Corporation in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. 

B. EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares
as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 

C. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. 
 1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: 

(i) Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable
for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option term. 

(ii) Any option held by the Optionee at the time of death and exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be
subsequently exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the Optionee’s designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option. 
 (iii) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the
option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier)
upon the expiration of the option term, option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service,
terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares. 
 2. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to: 

(i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee’s cessation of
Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or 

(ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the
number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the
Optionee continued in Service. 
 D. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect
to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares. 

  
 5 

 E. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options
which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such
repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such
repurchase right. 
 F. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be
exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death. Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the same restriction, except that a
Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former
spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the
option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Two, and those options shall, in
accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the
terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 

 

	II.	INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

 The
terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Five and Six shall be applicable to Incentive Options. To the extent an option which is
designated as an Incentive Option fails to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such option shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Option. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options when issued under the
Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. 
 A. ELIGIBILITY. Incentive Options may only be granted to
Employees. 
 B. DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the
respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during
any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing
limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. 
 C. 10% STOCKHOLDER. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date. 
  

	III.	CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER 

 A. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding option under the Discretionary Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the
effective date of that Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option 

  
 6 

 
and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall NOT become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the
extent: (i) such option is to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or is otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such option is to be replaced
with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any shares for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for subsequent payout of
that spread in accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

 B. All outstanding repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program shall automatically terminate, and the
shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of a Change in Control, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof)
or are otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase
right is issued. 
 C. Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all outstanding options under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in
Control transaction. 
 D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect
shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the option been exercised
immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same
(subject only to reduction by reason of rounding). To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor
corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per
share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction. 
 E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority
to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time
subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Change in Control transaction or otherwise continued in effect. In addition,
the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall immediately terminate upon the consummation of
the Change in Control transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. 
 F. The
Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
those options in the event the Optionee’s Service is subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control
transaction in which those options do not otherwise accelerate. In addition, the Plan Administrator may structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights so that those rights shall immediately terminate with respect to any shares
held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time. 

  
 7 

 G. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more
outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of a Hostile Take-Over, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options
and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of such Hostile Take-Over, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. Alternatively, the Plan
Administrator may condition the automatic acceleration of one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and the termination of one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under such program upon
the subsequent termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of such Hostile Take-Over. 

H. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over shall remain exercisable
as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a
Nonstatutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 
 I. The outstanding options shall in no way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

ARTICLE THREE 
 STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	I.	STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 

Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening
option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which
entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements. 
 A. PURCHASE PRICE. 
 1. The purchase price per share, if any, shall
be fixed by the Plan Administrator. 
 2. Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program
for any form of consideration as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance, including, without limitation: 
 (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or 
 (ii) past
services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), or 
 (iii) future services to be rendered to
the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
 B. RESTRICTIONS. Shares of Common Stock issued under this Stock Issuance
Program shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Plan Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote such shares or the right to receive dividends on such
shares). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Plan Administrator determines at the time of the grant of the shares or thereafter.

  
 8 

 C. FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of the
grant of the shares or thereafter, upon termination of employment or service during the applicable restriction period, shares of Common Stock issued under this Stock Issuance Program that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited;
provided, however, that, the Plan Administrator may (a) provide in any award agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to such shares will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from
specified causes, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to such shares. 
  

	II.	CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER 

 A. All of the Corporation’s outstanding forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights on any shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and all the
shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Change in Control, except to the extent (i) those forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or are otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance
Agreement. 
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the
Corporation’s forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall
immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in
Control transaction in which those forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or are otherwise continued in effect. 

C. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s forfeiture
restrictions or repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, either upon the
occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of that
Hostile Take-Over. 
  

	III.	SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 

Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant’s
interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 
 OTHER STOCK AWARDS PROGRAM 

 

	I.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

A. A stock appreciation right may be granted to any eligible person selected by the Plan Administrator. A stock appreciation right shall
be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Plan Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by a stock appreciation right agreement. 
 B. A stock appreciation right shall entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the stock appreciation right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the stock
appreciation right (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Corporation an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the stock
appreciation right is 

  
 9 

 
exercised over (B) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the stock appreciation right was granted and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the
stock appreciation right is exercised, subject to any limitations the Plan Administrator may impose. The exercise or base price per share of a stock appreciation right shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the stock appreciation right was granted. 

C. Subject to Section I.B above, payment of the amounts determined under Sections I.B. above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on
its Fair Market Value as of the date the stock appreciation right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Plan Administrator. To the extent any payment is effected in Stock, it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all
provisions of Article Two above pertaining to options. 
 D. Each stock appreciation right shall be exercisable at such time or
times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the stock appreciation right. However, no stock appreciation right shall have a term in excess of ten
(10) years measured from the date the stock appreciation right was granted. 
  

	II.	DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 

 Any
eligible person selected by the Plan Administrator may be granted dividend equivalents based on the dividends declared on the shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Award, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period
between the date the Award is granted and the date the Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Plan Administrator. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at
such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Plan Administrator. Dividend equivalents granted with respect to options or stock appreciation rights that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be
payable, with respect to pre-exercise periods, regardless of whether such option or stock appreciation right is subsequently exercised. 
  

	III.	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

The Plan Administrator is authorized to make Awards of restricted stock units (a right to shares of Common Stock deliverable in the
future) to any eligible person selected by the Plan Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Plan Administrator. At the time of grant, the Plan Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which
the restricted stock units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of grant, the Plan Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of
restricted stock units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the grantee. On the maturity date, the Corporation shall, subject to Article Six, Section V, transfer to the
Participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of Common Stock for each restricted stock unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited. 

 

	IV.	OTHER TERMS 

 A. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the term of any award of stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents or restricted stock units shall be set by the Plan Administrator in its discretion. 

B. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan Administrator may establish the exercise or purchase price, if any, of any award of
stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents or restricted stock units. 
 C. An award of stock appreciation rights, dividend
equivalents or restricted stock units shall only be exercisable or payable prior to the Participant’s termination of Service; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that an award of
stock appreciation rights, dividend 

  
 10 

 
equivalents or restricted stock units may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of Service, as applicable, or following a Change in Control of the Corporation, or because of the
Participant’s retirement, death or disability, or otherwise. 
 D. Payments with respect to any Awards granted under this
Article Four shall be made in cash, in Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. 
 E. All Awards under
this Article Four shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as determined by the Plan Administrator and shall be evidenced by an award agreement. 
  

	V.	CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER 

 A. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award under the Other Stock Award Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such Award shall, immediately prior to the effective date of
that Change in Control, become vested and exercisable and/or payable with respect to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such Award and may be exercised or paid for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock.
However, an outstanding Award shall NOT become vested and exercisable and/or payable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such Award is to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or is otherwise to continue
in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such Award is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in
Control on any shares for which the Award is not otherwise at that time vested, exercisable or payable and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same exercise/vesting/payment schedule applicable to those Award shares
or (iii) the acceleration of such Award is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Award grant. 
 B. Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all outstanding Awards under the Other Stock Award Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by
the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. 
 C. Each Award which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and
class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant in consummation of such Change in Control had the Award been exercised or paid immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the
exercise or purchase price payable per share under each outstanding Award, provided the aggregate exercise or purchase price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding
Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding Awards under the Other Stock Award Program, substitute one
or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction. 
 D. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding Awards under the Other Stock Award Program so that those Awards shall, immediately prior to the
effective date of a Change in Control, become vested and exercisable and/or payable exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards and may be exercised or paid for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares
of Common Stock, whether or not those Awards are to be assumed in the Change in Control transaction or otherwise continued in effect. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the
Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Other Stock Award Program so that those rights shall immediately terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon
vest in full. 

  
 11 

 E. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more
outstanding Awards under the Other Stock Award Program so that those Awards shall become vested and exercisable and/or payable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards in the event the Participant’s Service is
subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control transaction in which those Awards do not otherwise accelerate.

 F. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding Awards under the Other
Stock Award Program so that those Awards shall, immediately prior to the effective date of a Hostile Take-Over, become vested and exercisable and/or payable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards and may be exercised
or paid for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition the automatic acceleration of one or more outstanding Awards under the Other Stock Award Program upon the subsequent
termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of such Hostile Take-Over. 

G. The outstanding Awards shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 
 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 

 

	I.	PURPOSE 

 The purpose of
this Article Five is to provide the Primary Committee the ability to qualify Awards other than options and stock appreciation rights and that are granted pursuant to the Plan as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. If the Primary Committee, in
its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Article Five shall control over any contrary provision contained in this Plan; provided, however, that the Primary Committee may in its
discretion grant Awards to Covered Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article Five. 
  

	II.	APPLICABILITY 

 This
Article Five shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Primary Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of a Covered Employee as an Optionee or a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner
entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as an Optionee or a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as an Optionee or a
Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as an Optionee or a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as an Optionee or a Participant in such period or in any other
period. 
  

	III.	PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 

 To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award which may be granted to one or more
Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of
the Code), the Primary Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Covered 

  
 12 

 
Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned
for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the
completion of each Performance Period, the Primary Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Primary
Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Primary Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or
corporate performance for the Performance Period. 
  

	IV.	PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 

 Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, an Optionee or Participant must be employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary on the day a Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period
is paid to the Optionee or Participant. Furthermore, an Optionee or a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. In
determining the amount earned under a Performance-Based Award, the Primary Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or
elimination is appropriate. 
  

	V.	ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to constitute Qualified
Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are
requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 

ARTICLE SIX 

MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	I.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 A. The
Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise, vesting or payment of Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income and employment tax withholding requirements. 

B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or all holders of Awards under the Plan with the right to use shares of
Common Stock in satisfaction of all or part of the Withholding Taxes to which such holders may become subject in connection with the exercise, vesting or payment of their Awards. Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the
following formats: 
 Stock Withholding: The election to have the Corporation withhold, from the shares of Common
Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise, vesting or payment of such Award, a portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required percentage of the Withholding Taxes. 

Stock Delivery: The election to deliver to the Corporation, at the time the Award is exercised, vests or is paid, one or
more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder (other than in connection with the exercise, vesting or payment triggering the Withholding Taxes) and held for at least six (6) months (or such other period determined by the Plan
Administrator) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder. 

  
 13 

	II.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN 

 A. The Plan was initially adopted by the Board on March 7, 2002, and became effective on the Original Plan Effective Date. This amended Plan was adopted by the Board on April 27, 2012, and will
become effective on the Amended Plan Effective Date. 
 B. One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation)
the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating to Changes in Control and Hostile Take-Overs, may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan which do not
otherwise contain such provisions. 
 D. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) April 26, 2022, or
(ii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Change in Control. In the event of the termination of the Plan, then all option grants and unvested stock issuances outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and
effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing such grants or issuances. 
  

	III.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

 A.
The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to Awards at the time
outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws or regulations. Except as permitted by Article
One, Section V, Article Two, Section III or Article Four, Section V in connection with a transaction specified in Article One, Section V.D or V.E (including, without limitation, any Change in Control, Hostile Take-Over, stock dividend, stock split,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or stock appreciation rights or cancel, exchange,
substitute, buyout or surrender outstanding Options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or stock
appreciation rights without stockholder approval. 
 B. Awards may be granted under the Plan that are in each instance in excess
of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those Awards shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number
of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised Awards granted on the
basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and
held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding. 

 

	IV.	USE OF PROCEEDS 

 Any cash
proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. 
  

	V.	REGULATORY APPROVALS 

 A.
The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any Award under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Awards granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it. 

  
 14 

 B. No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan
unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable securities laws, including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan,
and all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq Global Market, if applicable) on which Common Stock is then listed for trading. 
 C. All stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Plan Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal,
state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Plan Administrator may place legends
on any stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Common Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that an Optionee or Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and
representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Plan Administrator shall have the right to require any Optionee or Participant to comply with any timing or
other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Plan Administrator. 

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or required by any applicable
law, rule or regulation, the Corporation shall not deliver to any Optionee or Participant certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any award and instead such shares of Common Stock shall be recorded in the books of
the Corporation (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). 
 E. In the event that the Corporation
establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation,
granting or exercise of Awards by an Optionee or a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system. 
  

	VI.	NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS 

 Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of
