Exhibit 10.1

 

Second Amendment to the

Amended and Restated

Limited Partnership Agreement

of

PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P.

 

This Second Amendment (this “Amendment”) is made as of July 5, 2017 by and among PennyMac GP OP, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as the general partner (the “General Partner”) of PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and as attorney-in-fact for the Persons named on Exhibit A to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P., dated as of August 4, 2009, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”), for the purpose of amending the Partnership Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Partnership Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), by resolutions duly adopted on June 26, 2017, and the Pricing Committee of the Board, by resolutions duly adopted on June 27, 2017, classified and designated 8,050,000 Preferred Shares (as defined in the Declaration of Trust of the Company (the “Declaration of Trust”)) as REIT Series B Preferred Shares (as defined below);

 

WHEREAS, the Company filed Articles Supplementary to the Declaration of Trust (the “Series B Articles Supplementary”) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on June 30, 2017, establishing the REIT Series B Preferred Shares, with such preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption as described in the Series B Articles Supplementary;

 

WHEREAS, on July 5, 2017, the Company issued 7,000,000 REIT Series B Preferred Shares and may issue up to an additional 1,050,000 REIT Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to a 30-day option granted by the Company to the Underwriters (as defined below) pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated June 27, 2017, by and among the Company, the Partnership and PNMAC Capital Management, LLC, on the one hand, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the “Underwriters”), on the other hand; and

 

WHEREAS, the General Partner has determined that, in connection with the issuance of the REIT Series B Preferred Shares, it is necessary and desirable to amend the Partnership Agreement to create additional Partnership Units having designations, preferences and other rights which are substantially the same as the economic rights of the REIT Series B Preferred Shares.

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the General Partner hereby amends the Partnership Agreement as follows:

 

1. Article 1 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

 

“REIT Series B Preferred Shares” means the 8.00% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.01 par value per share (liquidation preference Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share) of the Company, with such preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption as described in the Series B Articles Supplementary; and

 

“Series B Articles Supplementary” means the Articles Supplementary of the Company in connection with its REIT Series B Preferred Shares, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on June 30, 2017.

 

“Series B Preferred Units” means the series of Partnership Units representing units of Limited Partnership Interest designated as the 8.00% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (liquidation preference Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per share), with such preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption as described herein.

 

2. In accordance with Section 4.2.A of the Partnership Agreement, set forth below are the terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Units hereby established and issued to the Company in consideration of the Company’s contribution to the Partnership of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the REIT Series B Preferred Shares by the Company:

 

A. Designation and Number.  A series of Partnership Units, designated as Series B Preferred Units, is hereby established.  The number of authorized Series B Preferred Units shall be 8,050,000.

 

B. Ranking.  The Series B Preferred Units shall rank, with respect to rights to the payment of distributions and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, (a) senior to the Common Units and to all other Partnership Interests other than the Partnership Interests referred to in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.B.; (b) on a parity with the Series A Preferred Units and all other Partnership Interests with terms specifically providing that those Partnership Interests rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units with respect to rights to the payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership; and (c) junior to all Partnership Interests with terms specifically providing that those Partnership Interests rank senior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to rights to the payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

C. Distributions.

 

(i) Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Partnership Agreement, holders of the Series B Preferred Units are entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative cash distributions (i) from, and including, the date on which Series B Preferred Units are first issued (the “Original Issuance Date”) to, but not including, June 15, 2024 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), at a fixed rate equal to 8.00% per annum based on the Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per unit liquidation preference per annum, or $2.00 per unit; and (ii) from, and including, June 15, 2024 and thereafter (the “Floating Rate Period”), at a floating rate equal to Three-Month LIBOR (as defined below) as calculated on each applicable Distribution Determination Date (as defined below) plus a spread of 5.99% per annum based on the Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per unit liquidation preference.  Distributions on the Series B Preferred Units shall accumulate daily and shall be cumulative from, and including, the Original Issuance Date or, if later, the latest Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date (as defined below) to which cumulative distributions have been paid in full (or declared and the corresponding Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Date (as defined below) for determining unitholders entitled to payment thereof has passed), and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each March, June, September and December (each, a “Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date”) with respect to the immediately preceding Distribution Period; provided, that if any Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the distribution which would otherwise have been payable on that Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date and no interest, additional distributions or other sums will accumulate on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The first distribution on the Series B Preferred Units is scheduled to be paid on September 15, 2017 in the amount of $0.38889 per unit and will represent accrual for less than the full quarterly period, covering the period from, and including, the Original Issuance Date to, but not including, September 15, 2017. That distribution will be paid to the Persons who are the holders of record of the Series B Preferred Units at the close of business on the corresponding Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Record Date, which will be September 1, 2017. Distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Units during the Fixed Rate Period, including distributions payable for the first Distribution Period and any partial Distribution Period, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  Distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Units during the Floating Rate Period, including distributions payable for any partial Distribution Period, will be computed based on the actual number of days and a 360-day year.  Distributions will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the records of the Partnership for the Series B Preferred Units at the close of business on the applicable Partnership Record Date, which shall be the 1st day of the calendar month, whether or not a Business Day, in which the applicable Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date occurs (each, a “Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Record Date”).  The distributions payable on any Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date shall include distributions accumulated to, but not including, such Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date.

 

3

 

(ii) No distribution on the Series B Preferred Units shall be authorized by the General Partner or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership at any time when the terms  and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to any indebtedness of the Partnership, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, distributions on the Series B Preferred Units shall accumulate whether or not the Partnership has earnings, whether or not there is sufficient Available Cash for the payment of those distributions and whether or not those distributions are authorized.  No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Units which may be in arrears, and holders of the Series B Preferred Units will not be entitled to any distributions in excess of full cumulative distributions described in Section 2.C.(i) hereof.  Any distribution payment made on the Series B Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid distribution due with respect to the Series B Preferred Units.

 

(iv) Except as provided in Section 2.C.(v) hereof, unless full cumulative distributions on all Series B Preferred Units have been or contemporaneously are paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past Distribution Periods, (i) no distributions (other than distributions paid in Common Units or in any class or series of Partnership Interests ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation) shall be paid or authorized and set apart for payment upon Common Units, Series A Preferred Units or any other class or series of Partnership Interests ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation, (ii) no other distribution (other than a repurchase that is considered a distribution as to which clause (iii) would apply) shall be paid or authorized and set apart for payment upon Common Units, Series A Preferred Units or any other class or series of Partnership Interests ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation and (iii) no Common Units, Series A Preferred Units or any other class or series of Partnership Interests ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Partnership Interests) by the Partnership (except, in the case of clause (iii), by conversion into or exchange for Common Units or any other class or series of Partnership Interests ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation); provided, however, that neither the foregoing nor the restriction described in Section 2.C.(v) hereof shall prevent the purchase or acquisition by the Partnership of any class or series of Partnership Interests corresponding to any REIT Series B Preferred Shares or any other class or series of shares of beneficial interest of the Company to be purchased or acquired by the Company in accordance with the proviso set forth in Section 4(d) of the Series B Articles Supplementary.

 

4

 

(v) When distributions are not so paid in full (or authorized and a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series B Preferred Units, the Series A Preferred Units and any other class or series of Partnership Interests ranking on a parity as to distributions with the Series B Preferred Units, all distributions authorized upon the Series B  Preferred Units and such other class or series of Partnership Interests shall be authorized pro rata so that the amount of distributions authorized per Series B Preferred Unit, Series A Preferred Unit and per unit on such other class or series of Partnership Interests shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated distributions per Series B Preferred Unit, Series A Preferred Unit and per unit on such other class or series of Partnership Interests (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid distributions for prior Distribution Periods if such Partnership Interests do not have cumulative distributions) bear to each other.  No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Units which may be in arrears.

 

(vi) The term “Three-Month LIBOR” shall be calculated for each Distribution Period during the Floating Rate Period and shall mean, on any Distribution Determination Date: (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per year) for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the relevant Distribution Determination Date; or if no such rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” or if the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” is not available at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the relevant Distribution Determination Date, then the General Partner will select four nationally-recognized banks in the London interbank market and request that the principal London offices of those four selected banks provide the General Partner with their offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable Distribution Period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Distribution Determination Date for the applicable Distribution Period. Offered quotations must be based on a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the General Partner’s discretion, is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, the Three-Month LIBOR for such Distribution Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 0.00001 of 1%) of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Three-Month LIBOR for such Distribution Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 0.00001 of 1%) of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Determination Date for such Distribution Period by three nationally-recognized banks in New York, New York selected by the General Partner, for loans in U.S. dollars to nationally-recognized European banks (as selected by the General Partner), for a period of three months commencing on the first day of such Distribution Period. The rates quoted must be based on an amount that, in the General Partner’s discretion, is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If fewer than three New York, New York banks selected by the General Partner quote rates in the manner described above, the Three-Month LIBOR for the applicable Distribution Period will be the same as for the immediately preceding Distribution Period, or, if there was no such Distribution Period, the distribution shall be calculated at the distribution rate in effect for the immediately preceding Distribution Period.

 

(vii)  The term “Distribution Determination Date” shall mean the London Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the first day of the applicable Distribution Period.

 

5

 

(viii)  The term “Distribution Period” shall mean the period from, and including, a Distribution Payment Date to, but not including, the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date, except for the initial Distribution Period, which shall be the period from, and including, the Original Issuance Date to, but not including, September 15, 2017.

 

(ix) The term “London Business Day” shall mean any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

 

(x) The term “Reuters Page LIBOR01” shall mean the display so designated on the Reuters 3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, or such other service as may be nominated by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“ICE”), or its successor, or such other entity assuming the responsibility of ICE or its successor in the event ICE or its successor no longer does so, as the successor service, for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits).

 

D. Allocations.

 

Allocations of the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among holders of Series B Preferred Units in accordance with Article 6 of the Partnership Agreement.

 

E. Liquidation Preference.

 

(i) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, the holders of the Series B Preferred Units will be entitled to be paid out of the assets the Partnership has legally available for distribution to the Partners pursuant to Section 13.2.A of the Partnership Agreement, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of Partnership Interests of any class or series ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per Series B Preferred Unit, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid distributions (whether or not earned or authorized) to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up is made to holders of Common Units or any other class or series of Partnership Interests ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units as to liquidation rights.

 

(ii) In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Partnership are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding Series B Preferred Units and the corresponding amounts payable on Partnership Interests of all other classes or series ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Units in the distribution of assets, including the Series A Preferred Units, then the holders of the Series B Preferred Units, the Series A Preferred Units and all other such classes or series of Partnership Interests shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

6

 

(iii) Holders of Series B Preferred Units shall be entitled to written notice of any such payment upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the  Partnership no fewer than 30 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Units shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership.

 

(iv) The consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into any other limited partnership, corporation or entity or of any other entity with or into the Partnership, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

 

F. Redemption.

 

In connection with redemption by the Company of any of its REIT Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Series B Articles Supplementary, the Partnership shall provide cash to the Company for such purpose which shall be equal to the REIT Series B Preferred Share redemption price (as set forth in the Series B Articles Supplementary), plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions on the REIT Series B Preferred Shares to, but not including, the REIT Series B Preferred Share redemption date (as set forth in the Series B Articles Supplementary) (or, as applicable, any accumulated and unpaid distributions payable pursuant to Section 6(j) of the Series B Articles Supplementary), and one Series B Preferred Unit shall be concurrently redeemed with respect to each REIT Series B Preferred Share so redeemed by the Company.  From and after the REIT Series B Preferred Share redemption date, the Series B Preferred Units so redeemed shall no longer be outstanding and all rights hereunder, to distributions or otherwise, with respect to such Series B Preferred Units shall cease.

 

G. Conversion.  The Series B Preferred Units are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Partnership, except as provided in this Section 2.G.

 

(i) In the event of a conversion of any REIT Series B Preferred Shares into REIT Shares in accordance with the Series B Articles Supplementary, upon conversion of such REIT Series B Preferred Shares, the Partnership shall convert an equal whole number of the Series B Preferred Units into a number of Common Units equal to the number of REIT Shares into which such REIT Series B Preferred Shares were converted.  In the event of the conversion of any REIT Series B Preferred Shares into Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined in the Series B Articles Supplementary) in accordance with the Series B Articles Supplementary, the Partnership shall retire a number of Series B Preferred Units equal to the number of REIT Series B Preferred Shares converted into such Alternative Conversion Consideration.  In the event of a conversion of the REIT Series B Preferred Shares into REIT Shares, to the extent the Company is required to pay cash in lieu of fractional REIT Shares pursuant to the Series B Articles Supplementary in connection with such conversion, the Partnership shall distribute an equal amount of cash to the Company.

 

(ii) Following any such conversion and/or retirement by the Partnership pursuant to this Section G., the General Partner shall make such revisions to the Partnership Agreement as it determines are necessary to reflect such conversion.

 

7

 

H. Voting Rights.  Except as required by applicable law, holders of Series B Preferred Units shall not have any voting or consent rights in respect of their Partnership Interests represented by the Series B Preferred Units.

 

I. Transfer Restrictions.  The Series B Preferred Units shall not be transferable except in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Partnership Agreement.

 

3. Except as modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, which terms and conditions the General Partner hereby ratifies and confirms.

 

4. This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

 

5. If any provision of this Amendment is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.

SECTION 3.1 Revolving Credit Loans. 

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving
Credit Loans to the Borrowers in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time during the Commitment Period up to such Lender’s respective Commitment; provided, however, that in no event at any time shall the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, plus the aggregate Risk Participation Exposure then existing, be in excess of the Total Commitment Amount. Within the limits set forth herein, the Borrowers may
borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (b) Revolving Credit Borrowings. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall have the option to request Revolving Credit
Borrowings in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, comprised of (A) Prime Rate Loans maturing on or before the last day of the Commitment Period, in aggregate amounts of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or additional
increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or any integral multiple thereof or (B) LIBOR Loans maturing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto in aggregate amounts of not less than Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000), or additional increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or any integral multiple thereof. 
 (ii) The Borrowers may
request more than one Revolving Credit Borrowing on any Banking Day; provided, however, that if on the same Banking Day the Borrowers request two or more Revolving Credit Borrowings which are comprised of LIBOR Loans, each such
Revolving Credit Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall have an Interest Period which is different in duration from the Interest Periods in respect of the other such Revolving Credit Borrowings of LIBOR Loans. 

(iii) The Borrowers shall not request a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans if, after giving effect to such request, there
would be outstanding more than ten (10) Revolving Credit Borrowings consisting of LIBOR Loans. 
 (c) Notes. 

(i) The obligation of the Borrowers to repay Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and to pay
interest thereon shall be evidenced by a restated Revolving Credit Note of the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with appropriate insertions, dated the date of this Agreement and payable to the order of

  
 30 

 
such Lender on the last day of the Commitment Period, in the principal amount of its Commitment. 

(ii) The principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender, and all prepayments thereof and the applicable dates with respect
thereto shall be recorded by such Lender from time to time on any ledger or other record of such Lender or such Lender shall record such information by such other method as such Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that
failure to make any such record shall in no way detract from each Borrower’s obligations under any Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of the Revolving Credit Loans shown on the records of such Lender shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of
the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Revolving Credit Note, as the case may be. 
 (d) Notice of Borrowing. The obligation
of each Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is conditioned upon receipt by the Agent of a request by Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers not later than 12:00 noon
(Cleveland, Ohio time) (i) on the Banking Day which is the requested date of a proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised of Prime Rate Loans and (ii) on a day which is three (3) Banking Days prior to the Banking Day which is the
requested date of a proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Loans (except that the Revolving Credit Borrowing requested on the Restatement Date may be comprised of LIBOR Loans so long as each of the Lenders shall have agreed to make
LIBOR Loans on the Restatement Date without the notice required by this Section 3.l(d) and the Borrowers shall have agreed in a writing satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent to indemnify the Lenders in respect of any loss suffered by
reason of such accommodation). Each such request (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be transmitted by Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers to the Agent by telecopier, email or such other means as the Agent agrees to in writing, substantially
in the form of Exhibit B, specifying therein the requested (A) date of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) Type of Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (C) aggregate
amount of such Revolving Credit Loans and (D) in the case of a proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers may give a Notice of Borrowing
telephonically so long as written confirmation of such Revolving Credit Borrowing by delivery of written Notice of Borrowing is received by the Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the same day such telephonic Notice of Borrowing is given.
The Agent may rely on such telephonic Notice of Borrowing to the same extent that the Agent may rely on a written Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing and telephonic Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and
subject to the indemnification provisions of this Article 3. The Borrowers shall bear all risks related to the giving of a Notice of Borrowing telephonically or by such other method of transmission as Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers shall elect.
The Agent shall give to each Lender reasonably prompt notice by telecopier or email on the day received of each such Notice of Borrowing. 

(e) Lenders to Fund Agent. Each Lender shall, before the later of one (1) hour after the Agent issues its notice to such Lender of
a Notice of Borrowing or 2:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date of each Revolving Credit Borrowing, make available to the Agent, in immediately available funds at the account of the Agent maintained at the Payment Office as

  
 31 

 
specified by the Agent to the Lenders prior to such date, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing. On the date requested by
Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers for a Revolving Credit Borrowing, after the Agent’s receipt of the funds representing a Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing and upon the Borrowers’ fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in this Article 3, the Agent will make the funds of such Lender available to the Borrowers at the aforesaid applicable Payment Office. 

(f) Availability of Funds. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date (except in the case of Prime
Rate Loans, in which case prior to the time) of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made
its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowing available to the Agent on the date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 3.1(e). In reliance upon such assumption, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make
available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowing. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent its Ratable Portion of the Loans to be made as to the Revolving
Credit Borrowing, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the Agent, immediately upon demand, the corresponding portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowing, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent (i) in the case of the Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Fed Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding
portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowing, the amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Ratable Portion as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. 

(g) Failure of Lender to Loan. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as its Ratable Portion of any Revolving
Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such
other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing. 
 (h) Rate Conversion and Continuation. The Borrowers shall have the
right to cause a Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation in respect of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, upon request delivered by Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) (i) on the
day which is the Banking Day that the Borrowers desire to convert any LIBOR Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing into Prime Rate Loans so as to comprise a Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) on the day that is three (3) Banking Days
prior to the Banking Day upon which the Borrowers desire to convert any Prime Rate Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing into LIBOR Loans for a given Interest Period so as to comprise a Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) on the day which
is three (3) Banking Days prior to the Banking Day upon which the Borrowers desire to continue any LIBOR Loans comprising a given Revolving Credit Borrowing as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period of the same duration so as to comprise
a Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iv) on the day which is three (3)

  
 32 

 
Banking Days prior to the Banking Day upon which the Borrowers desire to convert any LIBOR Loans having a particular Interest Period comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing into LIBOR Loans
having a different permissible Interest Period so as to comprise a Revolving Credit Borrowing, provided, however, that each such Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation shall be subject to the following: 

(A) each Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation shall be funded among the Lenders based upon each Lender’s Ratable Portion
of such converted or continued Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing; 
 (B) if less than all the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing is converted or continued, the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loans converted or continued shall be (1) in the case of LIBOR
Loans, not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or additional increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, and (2) in the case of Prime Rate Loans, not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or
additional increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof; 
 (C) each Rate Conversion or Rate
Continuation shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of the Loan resulting from such Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation to the Loan of such Lender being converted or continued, as the case may be, and the accrued interest on any
such Loan (or portion thereof) being converted or continued shall be paid to the Agent on behalf of each Lender by the Borrowers at the time of such Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation; 

(D) LIBOR Loans may not be converted or continued at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless
the Borrowers shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3(d); 
 (E) Revolving Credit
Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing may not be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans less than one month prior to the last day of the Commitment Period or for an Interest Period which would continue after the last day of the
Commitment Period; 
 (F) LIBOR Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as
LIBOR Loans by reason of clause (E) shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such LIBOR Loans into Prime Rate Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing; and 

(G) in connection with any Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation, no Interest Period can be selected which ends after the date
of any reduction in the Total Commitment Amount unless, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any then outstanding Prime Rate Loans taken together with the principal amount of any then outstanding LIBOR
Loans having Interest Periods ending on or prior to the date of such reduction shall be at least equal to the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans due and payable on or prior to such reduction date. 

  
 33 

 Each such request for a conversion or continuation (a “Rate Conversion/Continuation Request”) in
respect of Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be transmitted by Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers to the Agent, by telecopier, email or such other means as the Agent agrees to in writing, in substantially the form
of Exhibit C hereto, specifying (A) the identity and amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing that the Borrowers request be converted or continued, (B) the Type of Revolving Credit Loans into which such
Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted or continued, (C) if such notice requests a Rate Conversion, the date of the Rate Conversion (which shall be a Banking Day) and (D) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving
Credit Borrowing being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans. The Borrowers may make Rate Conversion/Continuation Requests telephonically so long as written confirmation of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing is received by the Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the same day of such telephonic Rate Conversion/Continuation Request. The Agent may rely on such telephonic Rate Conversion/Continuation Request to the same extent that the
Agent may rely on a written Rate Conversion/Continuation Request. Each Rate Conversion/Continuation Request, whether telephonic or written, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and subject to the indemnification provisions of this
Article 3. The Borrowers shall bear all risks related to its giving any Rate Conversion/Continuation Request telephonically or by such other method of transmission as Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers shall elect. The Agent shall promptly deliver
on the day received a copy of each such Rate Conversion/Continuation Request to the Lenders by telecopier or email. 
 SECTION 3.2
Optional Reductions; Termination Of Commitments. The Borrowers may, at any time and without payment of premium or penalty except as set forth in Section 3.3, terminate in whole or from time to time in part reduce the Total Commitment
Amount of the Lenders by delivering to the Agent, not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) three (3) Banking Days immediately preceding the effective date of the reduction, a notice of such reduction (a “Reduction Notice”),
stating the amount by which the Total Commitment Amount is to be reduced and the effective date of such reduction. Each reduction shall be subject to the following: (i) each such reduction shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less
than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount such that the Total Commitment Amount, as so reduced, is not less than an amount equal to the
aggregate of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding hereunder, plus (B) the aggregate Risk Participation Exposure. The Borrowers shall not be permitted to reduce the Total Commitment Amount
unless, concurrently with any reduction, the Borrowers shall make a principal payment on each Lender’s then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of such Revolving Credit Loans, plus the aggregate
Risk Participation Exposure, over the Commitment of such Lender as so reduced. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate amount and the date of each such reduction. From and after each such reduction, the Facility Fees
payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Commitments of the Lenders as so reduced. Each reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be made among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions and shall be allocated ratably
to the Total Commitment Amount. Any partial reduction in the Total Commitment Amount shall be 

  
 34 

 
irrevocable and effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period. If the Borrowers terminate in whole the Commitments of the Lenders, on the effective date of such termination (the
Borrowers having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Notes outstanding, together with all interest (if any) and Facility Fees accrued and unpaid and all other amounts due to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder, including,
without limitation, the satisfaction of all Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit), all of the Notes outstanding shall be delivered to the Agent marked “Canceled” and redelivered to the Borrowers. 

SECTION 3.3 Repayments and Prepayments; Prepayment Compensation. 

(a) Principal Repayment. The Borrowers shall repay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, Facility Fees, and any other amounts owing to the Lenders, or any thereof, under this Agreement) on the last day of the Commitment Period or
upon acceleration pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2. 
 (b) Permitted Prepayments. Except as set forth in Section 3.3(d),
the Borrowers may prepay, without penalty or premium, not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time): (i) in the case of any LIBOR Loan, upon at least three (3) Banking Days’ notice to the Agent prior to the date fixed for such
prepayment; and (ii) in the case of any Prime Rate Loan, upon notice to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date fixed for such prepayment, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of
the prepayment, and, upon such notice, shall prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (A) each partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or additional increments
of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, and (B) each partial prepayment of Prime Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or additional increments of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof. Any prepayment of any LIBOR Loans made on other than the last day of an Interest Period shall obligate the Borrowers to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.3(d). Upon receipt by
the Agent of a notice pursuant to this Section 3.3(b), the Agent shall promptly forward a copy of such notice, by telecopier or email in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans comprising Revolving Credit Borrowing, to each of the Lenders. 

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. If on any Banking Day the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving
Credit Facility plus the aggregate Risk Participation Exposures exceeds the Total Commitment Amount then in effect, the Borrowers shall on such day prepay an aggregate principal amount of the related Revolving Credit Loans in an amount at
least equal to such excess, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, to the Agent for the account of each of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. Any prepayment of any LIBOR
Loans made pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) on other than the last day of an Interest Period shall obligate the Borrowers to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.3(d). 

  
 35 

 (d) Breakage Compensation. The Borrowers shall compensate each applicable Lender, upon its
written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses (including loss of profits), expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such
Lender or the Agent), a Credit Event of LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Rate Conversion/Continuation Request (whether or not rescinded or withdrawn by or on behalf of the Borrowers or deemed
rescinded or withdrawn pursuant to this Agreement); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Rate Continuation or Rate Conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto;
(iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers; (iv) if such Lender transfers its LIBOR Loans pursuant to a request by the Borrowers under
Section 3.9(d) hereof; or (vi) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrowers to repay its LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any other election by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms hereof. 

SECTION 3.4 Fees. 
 (a)
Facility Fee. The Borrowers agree during the Commitment Period to pay to each Lender, through the Agent, at the dates specified herein, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage
from time to time in effect for Facility Fees, as determined pursuant to Section 3.4(b), on the Commitment of such Lender. Such Facility Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing September 30, 2017, for the
calendar quarter year, or portion thereof, then ending and on the earlier date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or assigned in whole. 

(b) Determination of Applicable Fee Percentage. The Applicable Fee Percentage shall be adjusted as herein specified as of the first day
of the Commitment Period and thereafter as of each Fee Adjustment Date, commencing with the Fee Adjustment Date on September 1, 2017, by reference to (A) the financial statements required by Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), as
the case may be, for the period ending as of the Fee Determination Date for such Fee Adjustment Date and (B) a certificate complying with Section 8.1(c)(ii) certifying the Net Leverage Ratio as of such Fee Determination Date. As of any
such Fee Adjustment Date and during the Accrual Period commencing on such date, the Applicable Fee Percentage for Facility Fees shall be the Applicable Fee Percentage therefor indicated in the definition of the term “Applicable Fee
Percentage” corresponding to the Net Leverage Ratio as of the Fee Determination Date for such Fee Adjustment Date. Any such adjustment of the Applicable Fee Percentage shall cease to be effective from the next Fee Adjustment Date. 

(c) Risk Participation Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall share with
the Lenders, on a pro rata basis based on their respective Ratable Portions, a risk participation fee (the “Risk Participation Fee”) in an amount equal to the per annum rate equal to the Applicable LIBOR Percentage in effect pursuant to
Section 3.5(b), times the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit from time to time outstanding; 

  
 36 

 
provided that upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but without waiving such Event of Default or limiting any right or remedy of the Lenders or the Agent in respect
thereof, the Risk Participation Fee shall accrue at the Increased Rate. The Borrowers shall pay the Risk Participation Fee to the Letter of Credit Issuer quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing September 30, 2017, for
the calendar quarter year, or portion thereof, then ending and on the earlier date on which the Commitments expire or are terminated. Upon receipt of any Risk Participation Fee, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay such Risk Participation Fees to
the Agent for the account of the Lenders. 
 (d) Fronting Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own
account a fronting fee in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit from time to time outstanding, times twelve and one half (12.50) Basis Points per annum, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date, commencing September 30, 2017, for the calendar quarter year, or portion thereof, then ending and on the earlier date on which the Commitments expire or are terminated. 

(e) Up Front Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, on the Restatement Date a fee in the
amount of Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($360,000.00), which fee shall be deemed fully earned on the Restatement Date. 
 (f)
Administrative Fee; Documantation Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to (i) the Agent in advance on the Restatement Date and on each anniversary thereof during the Commitment Period for its own account an administrative fee in the amount set
forth in the Fee Letter and (ii) KeyBank on the Restatement Date for its own account a documentation fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter, both of which fees shall be deemed fully earned on each such date. 

(g) Fees Nonrefundable. All fees set forth in this Section 3.4 and closing fees payable pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall be
paid on the date due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, to the Lenders and, once paid, none of such fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 3.5 Interest. 

(a) Regular Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by each Lender from the date of
such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full at the following times and rates per annum: 
 (i) Prime Rate
Loans. During such periods as a Revolving Credit Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Prime Rate Percentage in effect from time to time, payable
quarterly, in arrears, on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date such Prime Rate Loan shall be converted or paid in full and at maturity (whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise). 

  
 37 

 (ii) LIBOR Loans. During such periods as a Revolving Credit Loan is a
LIBOR Loan, a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR for the Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, plus the Applicable LIBOR Percentage in effect from time to time during the Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, in accordance with
Section 3.1(h), payable (A) on the last day of each Interest Period and (B) if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, three months after the first day of such Interest Period and (C) on the date such LIBOR
Loan shall be converted to a Prime Rate Loan or to a LIBOR Loan of a different Interest Period or paid in full and at maturity (whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise). 

(b) Applicable LIBOR Percentage; Applicable Prime Rate Percentage; Terms of Adjustment. 

(i) Commencement; Conditions. The Applicable LIBOR Percentage and Applicable Prime Rate Percentage shall each be
adjusted as herein specified as of the first day of the Commitment Period and thereafter as of each Interest Adjustment Date, commencing with the Interest Adjustment Date on September 1, 2017, by reference to (A) the financial statements
required by Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) for the period ending as of the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Adjustment Date and (B) a certificate complying with Section 8.l(c)(ii) certifying the Net Leverage Ratio
as of such Interest Determination Date. 
 (ii) Calculation and Duration of Adjustment. On each Interest Adjustment
Date and during the Accrual Period commencing on such date, (a) the Applicable LIBOR Percentage shall be the percent per annum in Basis Points indicated in the definition of the term “Applicable LIBOR Percentage” corresponding to the
Net Leverage Ratio as of the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Adjustment Date and (b) the Applicable Prime Rate Percentage shall be the percent per annum in Basis Points indicated in the definitions of the term “Applicable
Prime Rate Percentage” corresponding to the Net Leverage Ratio as of the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Adjustment Date. 

(c) Interest on Unpaid Obligations; Interest upon Event of Default. If any principal, interest or fees or other sum due under this
Agreement shall not be paid when due, or if any Revolving Credit Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of time or by operation of any provision of acceleration of maturity therein contained (and without
waiving any Event of Default resulting therefrom or limiting any right or remedy of the Lenders or the Agent in respect thereof), the principal thereof and the unpaid interest and fees thereon, or such fees or other sum shall bear interest, payable
on demand, at the Increased Rate from time to time in effect in respect of such Loan or other Obligation. The Borrowers acknowledge that this calculation will result in the accrual of interest on interest and the Borrowers expressly consent and
agree to this provision. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but without waiving such Event of Default or limiting any right or remedy of the
Lenders or the Agent in respect thereof, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Increased Rate. 

  
 38 

 (d) Interest Rate Determination. 

(i) Agent Determination; Notice. The Agent shall determine the Prime Rate and Adjusted LIBOR in accordance with the
definitions of Prime Rate, LIBOR and Adjusted LIBOR set forth in Section 1.1. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 3.5(a)(i) or
(ii). 
 (ii) Failure of Borrowers To Elect. If no Interest Period is specified in any Notice of Borrowing for any
LIBOR Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected instead Prime Rate Loans. If Holdings, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall not have given notice in accordance with Section 3.1(h) to continue any
LIBOR Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not have otherwise delivered a Rate Conversion/Continuation Request in accordance with Section 3.1(h) to convert such Loans), subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 3.1(h), such LIBOR Loans shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically shall be converted to (or, as the case may be, continued as) LIBOR
Loans having an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that if such limitations of Section 3.1(h) would not be complied with, such LIBOR Loans automatically shall be converted to Prime Rate Loans. 

SECTION 3.6 Payments and Computations. 

(a) Payments. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes with respect to principal of, interest on, and other
amounts relating to Revolving Credit Loans, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the day when due in dollars to the Agent in immediately available funds by deposit of such funds to the Agent’s account maintained at the Payment
Office. Payments received after 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) on any day shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The Agent will promptly thereafter, on the same Banking Day, cause to be distributed like funds
relating to the payment of principal, interest, Facility Fees, or other fees or other amounts which may be received in respect of the Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to the express terms
of this Agreement solely to the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be) to each of the Lenders for the account of its respective Lending Office, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to
such Lender for the account of its Lending Office. The funds so distributed to each Lender shall in each case be applied by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) Authorization to Charge Account. If and to the extent payment owed to any Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the Note
held by such Lender, each Borrower hereby authorizes such Lender to charge from time to time against any or all of such Borrower’s general deposit accounts with such Lender any amount so due. Any Lender exercising the foregoing authorization
will endeavor to advise such Borrower of such exercise reasonably promptly thereafter; provided, however, that such Lender’s failure to do so shall not subject such 

  
 39 

 
Lender, the Agent or any other Lender to liability or claim of any nature whatsoever and shall not create in any Borrower any set-off, defense or other claim of any nature whatsoever. 

(c) Computations of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest, Facility Fees, and Risk Participation Fees and all other fees
shall be made by the Agent, (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, Risk Participation Fees, and Facility Fees, on the basis of a year of 360 days, and (ii) in the case of Prime Rate Loans, on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, in each case for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent (or, in the case of Section 3.7, by a Lender) of an interest
rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Payment Not on Banking Day. Whenever
any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, except, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
LIBOR Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day. Any such extension or reduction of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
Facility Fee, as the case may be. 
 (e) Presumption of Payment in Full by Borrowers. Unless the Agent shall have received notice
from Holdings, on behalf of the Borrowers, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers will make or have made such payment in
full to the Agent on such date. In reliance upon such assumption, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, distribute to each Lender on such due date the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have made such
payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent promptly upon demand the amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such
Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate plus the amount of any costs, expenses, liabilities or losses incurred by the Agent in connection with its distribution of such funds, unless such costs, expenses, liabilities or
losses are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. 
 SECTION 3.7 Reserves; Taxes; Indemnities. 

(a) Reserves or Deposit Requirements. If at any time any Law (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System) or the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority shall impose (whether or not having the force of Law),
modify or deem applicable any reserve and/or special deposit requirement (other than reserves included in the Reserve Percentage, the effect of which is reflected in the interest rate(s) of the LIBOR Loan(s) in question) against assets held by, or
deposits in or for the amount of any loans by, any Lender, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Lender of making or maintaining hereunder LIBOR Loans or to reduce the
amount of principal or interest received by such Lender 

  
 40 

 
with respect to such LIBOR Loans, then upon demand by such Lender the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender from time to time on Interest Adjustment Dates with respect to such loans, as additional
consideration hereunder, additional amounts sufficient to fully compensate and indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount, assuming (which assumption such Lender need not corroborate) such additional cost or reduced amount was
allocable to such LIBOR Loans; provided that such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.7(a). A certificate as to the
increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned in this Section 3.7(a), setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be promptly submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers and shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence as to
the amount thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Lender, the Borrowers, upon at least three (3) Banking Days’ prior written notice to such Lender through the Agent,
may prepay the affected LIBOR Loans in full or convert all LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans regardless of the Interest Period of any thereof. Any such prepayment or conversion shall entitle the Lenders to the prepayment compensation provided for in
Section 3.3 hereof. Each Lender will notify the Borrowers as promptly as practicable (with a copy thereof delivered to the Agent) of the existence of any event which will likely require the payment by the Borrowers of any such additional amount
under this Section. 
 (b) Imposition of Taxes. In the event that by reason of any Law or the imposition of any requirement of any
central bank whether or not having the force of Law, any Lender shall, with respect to this Agreement or any transaction under this Agreement, be subjected to any Tax, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever (other than Excluded Taxes) and
if any such measures or any other similar measure shall result in an increase in the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or in a reduction in the amount of principal, interest or commitment fee receivable by such Lender in
respect thereof, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing stating the reasons therefor. The Borrowers shall thereafter pay to such Lender upon demand from time to time on Interest Adjustment Dates with respect to such LIBOR
Loans, as additional consideration hereunder, such additional amounts as will fully compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any such increased cost or reduced amount, setting forth the calculations
therefor, shall be submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers and shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amount thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Lender, the
Borrowers, upon at least three (3) Banking Days prior written notice to such Lender through the Agent, may prepay the affected LIBOR Loans in full or convert all LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans regardless of the Interest Period of any thereof.
Any such prepayment or conversion shall entitle the Lenders to prepayment compensation provided for in Section 3.3 hereof. 
 (c)
Eurodollar Deposit Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable. In respect of any LIBOR Loans, in the event that the Agent or any Lender shall have determined that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR applicable to such Interest Period, as the case may be, the Agent or such Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrowers and (i) any notice of new LIBOR Loans (or
conversion of existing loans to LIBOR Loans) previously given by the 

  
 41 

 
Borrowers and not yet borrowed (or converted, as the case may be) shall be deemed a notice to make Prime Rate Loans, and (ii) the Borrowers shall be obligated either to prepay or to convert
any outstanding LIBOR Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period or Periods with respect thereto. Any such prepayment or conversion shall entitle the Lenders to prepayment compensation provided for in Section 3.3 hereof. 

(d) Indemnity. Without prejudice to any other provisions of this Article 3, the Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify each Lender against
any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to accept the proceeds of any LIBOR Loan, or otherwise consummate a Revolving Credit Borrowing in respect of LIBOR Loans, requested by the
Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and of any default by the Borrowers in payment when due of any amount due hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Loan, including, but not limited to, any loss of profit, premium or penalty incurred
by such Lender in respect of funds borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan, as determined by such Lender in the exercise of its sole but reasonable discretion. A certificate as to any such loss or expense shall be
promptly submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers and shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amount thereof. 
 (e) Changes in
Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If at any time any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to fund any LIBOR Loans which it is committed to make hereunder with moneys obtained in the Eurodollar market, the commitment of such
Lender to fund LIBOR Loans shall, upon the happening of such event, forthwith be suspended for the duration of such illegality, and such Lender shall by written notice to the Borrowers and the Agent declare that its Commitment with respect to such
Loans has been so suspended and, if and when such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease and such Lender shall similarly notify the Borrowers and the Agent. If any such change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to continue in
effect the funding in the applicable Eurodollar market of any LIBOR Loan previously made by it hereunder, such Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing stating the
reasons therefor, and the Borrowers shall, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period or (ii) if required by such Law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either
convert all LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans to the extent permissible under this Agreement or prepay all LIBOR Loans to the Lenders in full. Any such prepayment or conversion shall entitle the Lenders to prepayment compensation as provided in
Section 3.3 hereof. 
 SECTION 3.8 Capital Adequacy; Liquidity. If any Lender shall have determined, that, whether in effect at
the date of this Agreement or hereafter in effect, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any Change in Law, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or
liquidity (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital allocated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or the
capital or liquidity of its holding company) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into

  
 42 

 
consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time
to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its holding company) for such reduction; provided that
such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.8. Each Lender will designate a different 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 such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this section and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The protection of this
Section 3.8 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Law or other condition which shall have been imposed. 

SECTION 3.9 Taxes. 
 (a)
All payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrowers or the Agent shall be
required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent the deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable will be increased as necessary so that,
after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) are made, each relevant Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrowers or the Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers or the Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender Party, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Lender Party with respect to any payment by or obligation of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority
provided, that such written demand must be made within one (1) year after the applicable payment date by the Lender Party. Such written demand shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such
amount and shall include reasonable supporting documentation authenticating the claim. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment delivered to Holdings by a Lender Party on its own behalf, or by the Agent on behalf of a Lender Party, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers 

  
 43 

 
shall not be liable for the reimbursement of any interest, penalties or expenses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Lender Party in taking any action it was required to
take. If the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 3.9(c), such Lender Party shall take such steps as the Borrowers shall reasonably request (at the Borrowers’ expense) to assist the Borrowers in recovering
the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and any penalties or interest attributable thereto; provided that no Lender Party shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3.9(c) unless, such action (i) would not subject
such Lender Party to any unreasonable unreimbursed cost or expense and (ii) would not otherwise be unreasonably disadvantageous to such Lender Party. 

(d) As soon as practicable after the Borrowers pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall
deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

 (e) (i) Any Foreign Lender that is eligible for and/or entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the Laws
of the United States, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall deliver to Holdings and the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable Law or reasonably requested by Holdings or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. If any such Foreign Lender becomes subject to any Tax because it fails to comply with this subsection,
the Borrowers shall take such steps (at such Foreign Lender’s expense) as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Lender to recover such Tax. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Foreign Lender
shall deliver to Holdings and the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
request of Holdings or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or successor
thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (B) Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or successor thereto), 
 (C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor thereto) and all required supporting
documentation, 
 (D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section
881(c) or 871(h) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of
a Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled 

  
 44 

 
foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, or 

(E) any other form prescribed by applicable Laws or such other evidence satisfactory to Holdings or the Agent as a basis for claiming exemption
from or a reduction in withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Holdings or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(ii) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to
Holdings and the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such “United States person” becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter, upon the request of Holdings or the Agent), Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Holdings or the Agent as will enable Holdings or the Agent,
as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 (iii)
Each Lender Party shall promptly (I) notify Holdings and the Agent of any change in its circumstances relating to such Lender Party that would modify or render invalid any previously delivered form or documentation or any claimed exemption or
reduction of Taxes and (II) take such steps as shall be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable Law of any applicable jurisdiction that a Borrower or the Agent make any deduction or withholding for Taxes from amounts payable to
such Lender Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Borrowers shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of such Lender Party associated with such actions, but that such expenses shall be without duplication
for any expense covered by Section 3.11). Each Lender Party that has delivered a form required hereunder shall, upon the reasonable request of Holdings or the Agent, deliver to Holdings or the Agent, as applicable, additional copies of such
form (or any successor thereto) on or before the date such form expires or becomes obsolete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender Party shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.9 that such Lender
Party is not legally able to deliver. 
 (iv) In addition to the above, if a payment made to a Foreign Lender under any Loan Document would
be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Foreign 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 Foreign Lender shall deliver to Holdings and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) such additional documentation reasonably requested by Holdings (or
the Agent) as may be necessary for the Borrowers (or the Agent) to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Foreign Lender has or has not complied with such Foreign Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this 

  
 45 

 
clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the Restatement Date. 

(f) If any Lender Party shall have actually received a refund (or, in the good faith determination of such Lender Party, shall have actually
received a credit against its current or future Tax liability in lieu of a refund) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.9 it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (or such credit in lieu of such refund) (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments actually made, or additional amounts paid by, the Borrowers
under this Section 3.9 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred by such Lender Party without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender Party, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and delivers to Holdings evidence reasonably satisfactory to Holdings of such repayment. This
Section 3.9(f) shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its Tax returns (or any information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 

SECTION 3.10 No Waiver; Reimbursement Limitation. Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation, payment, or reimbursement
of amounts under any of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9, above, with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s rights to demand such compensation, payment, or reimbursement in such period or in any other period;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to compensation, payment, or reimbursement of amounts under any of Sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 for any amounts incurred or accruing more than 270 days prior to the giving of notice to
Holdings of any cost, reduction, Taxes or other amount of the nature described in any of such Sections, and provided further, however, that, if such cost, reduction, Tax or other amount is owing by a Lender by reason of a an audit or
assessment by Governmental Authority or Change in Law having effect on a date earlier than the date on which such Lender receives notice thereof, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include such period of retroactive
effect. 
 SECTION 3.11 Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, then such Lender shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate the amount of such compensation or additional
amount, including without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or by assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates; provided that
no Lender shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3.11(a) unless, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to

  
 46 

 
Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, replace such Lender in accordance with Section 15.15 hereto. 

SECTION 3.12 Optional Increase of Commitments. At any time prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
last day of the Commitment Period, if no Incipient Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result after giving effect thereto), the Borrowers, may, if they so elect, increase the aggregate amount of the
Commitments (each such increase to be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000). The Borrowers shall first request the existing Lenders in writing to increase their respective Commitments
(proportionately based on their Ratable Shares or on such other basis as the Borrowers and the existing Lenders may agree) to accommodate the increase requested by the Borrowers. If, within fifteen (15) days following their receipt of the
Borrowers’ request, existing Lenders fail to agree to increase their respective Commitments in an aggregate amount at least equal to the increase requested by the Borrowers, the Borrowers may designate one or more financial institutions not
theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and only if each such financial
institution accepts a Commitment in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000) in respect of the portion of the requested increase not accepted by the existing Lenders. Upon execution and delivery
by the Borrowers and each such Lender or other financial institution of an instrument (a “Commitment Acceptance”) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other
financial institution shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such Commitment hereunder; provided: 

(a) that the Borrowers shall provide prompt notice of the existing Lenders and other financial institutions, if any, participating in such
increase to the Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders; 
 (b) that the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent a copy of such
Commitment Acceptance; 
 (c) that the amount of such increase, together with all other increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments
pursuant to this Section 3.12 since the date of this Agreement, does not exceed $100,000,000; 
 (d) that, before and after giving
effect to such increase, the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Article 10 of this Agreement shall be true and correct in 

  
 47 

 
all material respects (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case it shall have been true and correct in all material
respects as of such date); and 
 (e) that the Agent shall have received such evidence (including an opinion of Borrowers’ counsel) as
it may reasonably request to confirm the Borrowers’ due authorization of the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.12 and the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Borrowers resulting therefrom. 

On the date of any such increase, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented to the Agent and the Lenders that the conditions set forth
in clauses (a) through (e) above have been satisfied. 
 Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to
this Section 3.12: 
 (x) within five Banking Days, in the case of any Prime Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any LIBOR Loans then outstanding, the Borrowers shall prepay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrowers elect to do so and subject to the conditions
specified in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall reborrow Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Loans are held by the Lenders in such proportion;
and 
 (y) each existing Lender whose Commitment has not increased pursuant to this Section 3.12 (each, a
“Non-increasing Lender”) shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender whose Commitment has been assumed or increased under this Section 3.12 (each, an “Increased Commitment
Lender”), and each Increased Commitment Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from each Non-Increasing Lender, a participation (on the terms specified in this Agreement) in each Letter of Credit
in which such Non-Increasing Lender has acquired a participation in an amount equal to such Increased Commitment Lender’s Ratable Share thereof, until such time as all Letter of Credit exposures are held by the Lenders in proportion to their
respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase. 
 ARTICLE 4 

PRO RATA TREATMENT; DEFAULTING LENDERS 

SECTION 4.1 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required by Section 3.7, Section 4.2 or Section 12.4(b) or as permitted under
Section 3.9, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each participation in a Letter of Credit, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Credit Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, each payment of the
Facility Fees, each payment of Risk Participation Fees, each reduction of the Commitments, each Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation of Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance
with each Lender’s Ratable 

  
 48 

 
Portion of the Total Commitment Amount (or if the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of each Lender’s Revolving Credit
Loans). 
 SECTION 4.2 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders. 
 (ii)
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 12 or otherwise) or
received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 12.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of
Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.3; fourth, as Holdings may request (so long as no Incipient Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and Holdings, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata
in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to
such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.3; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, or the Letter of Credit Issuer as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long
as no Incipient Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans or disbursements in respect of a drawing under a Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit
were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 7 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to
being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Risk Participation Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the 

  
 49 

 
Commitments without giving effect to Section 4.2(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.2(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee under
Section 3.4(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Risk Participation Fees under Section 3.4(c) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.3. 

(C) With respect to any Facility Fee under Section 3.4(a) or any Risk Participation Fee under Section 3.4(c) not
required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in Risk Participation Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise
payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in Risk Participation Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that
(A) the conditions set forth in Article 7 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Holdings shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such
conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, plus the Risk Participation Exposure, of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 15.16, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender,
including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under Law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure corresponding to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 4.3. 

  
 50 

 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer
agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include
arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 4.2(a)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue,
amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender. Holdings may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting
Lender upon not less than five (5) Banking Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 4.2(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the
Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
(ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

SECTION 4.3 Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the
written request of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect
to Section 4.2(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

(a) Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby
grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of
Risk Participation Exposure, to be applied pursuant to sub-section (b) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer as herein
provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate
such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

  
 51 

 (b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.3 or Section 4.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Risk Participation Exposure
(including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Letter of Credit
Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.3 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender
status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 4.2, the Person providing Cash Collateral, and the
Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 

ARTICLE 5 
 LETTERS OF CREDIT 

SECTION 5.1 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth this Agreement, upon written request from Holdings, on behalf of the
Borrowers, a copy of which is delivered to the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer will issue, for the account of any Borrower, on or at any time after the commencement of the Commitment Period but prior to the earlier of (i) fifteen
(15) days prior to the last day of the Commitment Period or (ii) the date on which the Lenders’ Commitments are terminated in full, whether pursuant to Section 3.2 or Article 12 hereof or otherwise, Letters of Credit in such form
as Holdings, on behalf of the Borrowers, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree, but in no case having a final expiry date later than fifteen (15) Banking Days prior to last day of the Commitment Period, and in all cases in compliance with
all applicable provisions of Law; provided, however, that, in no event shall (x) the aggregate Risk Participation Exposure exceed the LC Sublimit or (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans,
plus the aggregate Risk Participation Exposure, exceed the Total Commitment Amount. The Agent shall advise the Lenders promptly following the issuance of a Letter of Credit or other event or condition which affects the Lenders’
respective Risk Participation Exposures. 
 (b) Reimbursement Obligations. Each Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit
Issuer hereunder shall be issued pursuant to the Letter of Credit Issuer’s standard and customary form of letter of credit application and/or Reimbursement Agreement (or equivalent agreement otherwise named) then in use under which the
Borrowers are the reimbursement obligors and shall identify: (i) the respective dates of issuance and expiry of such Letter of Credit (which date of expiry shall not be later than fifteen (15) days prior to the last day of the Commitment
Period), (ii) the amount of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a sum certain), (iii) the beneficiary and account party of such Letter of Credit and (iv) the drafts and other documents (if any) necessary to be presented to the
Letter of Credit Issuer upon a drawing thereunder. To the extent that any 

  
 52 

 
of the terms of the above-referenced Reimbursement Agreement conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 

(c) Payment of Letter of Credit Obligations. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay the Letter of Credit Issuer, on demand, the amount of
each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section, plus interest from the date of such drawing until paid in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer by the Borrowers or pursuant to Section 5.2(b)
hereof, at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect. 
 SECTION 5.2 Letter of Credit Issuer Relationship with
Lenders. 
 (a) Risk Participation. The Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agrees that it will sell simultaneously with the issuance
of each Letter of Credit, and each other Lender hereby agrees that it will buy simultaneously with the issuance of each Letter of Credit (subject to the following sentence) a participation in any payment which the Letter of Credit Issuer makes for
the account of the Borrowers under any such Letter of Credit for which payment the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise immediately reimbursed by the Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion. The aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, plus such Lender’s aggregate Risk Participation Exposure (after taking into effect such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the risk participation created under this
Section 5.2) shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment in effect from time to time. The sale of the risk participation by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the purchase thereof by each Lender, respectively, shall occur simultaneously with
and shall be evidenced by each Letter of Credit. 
 (b) Reimbursement of Letter of Credit Issuer. The Letter of Credit Issuer will
notify the Agent, who will promptly notify each other Lender, if the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit. Upon demand by the Agent each such other Lender shall pay to the Agent that Lender’s Ratable Portion of
each such payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer. Each such payment shall for all purposes hereunder be deemed to be a Prime Rate Loan (it being understood that (i) each Lender’s obligation to make such payment is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any event or circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Incipient Default hereunder or the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied and (ii) each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever). In addition, upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer through the Agent, each other Lender will pay an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of
all costs and expenses not reimbursed by the Borrowers which have been incurred or made by the Letter of Credit Issuer as the result of, or in connection with, any action including, but not limited to, legal action which may be taken by Agent to
obtain reimbursement for payments made by Agent under any Letter of Credit, unless such costs and expenses are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of as the case may be, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Agent. 

(c) Rights and Obligations of Letter of Credit Issuer. Neither the Letter of Credit Issuer, nor any of its correspondents, shall be
responsible, provided it has exercised reasonable care, as to any document presented under a Letter of Credit, or any renewal or extension thereof, which appears to be regular on its face and appears on its face to conform to the terms of the

  
 53 

 
Letter of Credit and to make reasonable reference thereto, for the validity or sufficiency of any signature or endorsement, for delay in giving any notice or failure of any instrument to bear
adequate reference to the Letter of Credit, or to any renewal or extension thereof, or failure of documents not clearly specified in the Letter of Credit to accompany any instrument at negotiation, or for failure of any person to note the amount of
any draft on the reverse of the Letter of Credit or on any renewal or extension thereof. Any action, inaction or omission on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any of its correspondents, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or
any renewal or extension thereof or the related instruments or documents, if in good faith and in conformity with such Laws, regulations or customs as are applicable and the terms of this Section 5.2, shall be binding upon the Borrowers and
shall not place the Letter of Credit Issuer or any of its correspondents under any liability to any Borrower, in the absence of negligence by the Letter of Credit Issuer or its correspondents. The Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights, powers,
privileges and immunities specified in or arising under this Agreement are in addition to any heretofore or at any time hereafter otherwise created or arising, whether by statute or rule of Law or contract. 

(d) Effect of Applicable Law or Custom. All Letters of Credit issued hereunder will, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided,
be governed by the International Standby Practices, as adopted by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit. 

(e) Termination of Letter of Credit Commitment. In the event that (i) any restriction is imposed on the Letter of Credit
Issuer (including, without limitation, any legal lending or acceptance limits imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof) which in the reasonable judgment of the Letter of Credit Issuer would prevent the Letter of
Credit Issuer from issuing Letters of Credit or maintaining its commitment to issue Letters of Credit or (ii) there shall have occurred, at any time during the term of this Agreement (A) any adverse change or a development involving a
prospective adverse change affecting the condition of any of the Borrowers which would materially impair the ability of the Borrowers to meet their obligations under this Article 5, (B) any outbreak of hostilities or other national or
international crisis or change in economic conditions if the effect of such outbreak, crisis or change would make the creation of Letters of Credit or the discount or sale thereof impracticable, or (C) the enactment, publication, decree or
other promulgation of any Law which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Borrowers to perform their obligations under this Agreement, then the Letter of Credit Issuer, through the Agent, in the case of the occurrence of any event
described above, shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon the commitment of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall terminate on the effective date of such notice. The
Borrowers shall forthwith pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer all obligations in respect of Letters of Credit on the date of drawing of such Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 5.3 Resignation and Removal of Letter of Credit Issuer. The Letter of Credit Issuer (or any successor) may at any time resign
(so long as, at the same time, the institution then serving as the Letter of Credit Issuer also resigns as Agent in the manner provided in Section 13.13, below, unless Holdings, on behalf of the Borrowers, has waived in writing the requirements
of this parenthetical) as such by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the 

  
 54 

 
Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender; and the Majority Lenders may remove the Letter of Credit Issuer at any time with or without cause by giving written notice to the Agent, the Letter of Credit
Issuer and the Borrowers. In any such case, the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor to the resigned or removed Letter of Credit Issuer (the “Former LC Bank”), which successor shall (unless waived by Holdings, on behalf of the
Borrowers, in writing) also be successor Agent, provided that the Majority Lenders obtain the Borrowers’ prior written consent to the successor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), by giving written notice to the Agent,
the Borrowers, the Former LC Bank and each Lender not participating in the appointment; provided, however, that, if at the time of the proposed resignation or removal of a Letter of Credit Issuer, any Borrower is the subject of an
action referred to in Section 11.7 or any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required. In the absence of a timely appointment, the Former LC Bank shall have the right (but not
the duty) to make a temporary appointment of any Lender (but only with that Lender’s consent) to act as its successor pending an appointment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In either case, the successor Letter of Credit Issuer
shall deliver its written acceptance of appointment to the Borrowers, the Agent, each Lender and the Former LC Bank, whereupon (a) the Former LC Bank shall execute and deliver such assignments and other writings as the successor Letter of
Credit Issuer may reasonably require to facilitate its being and acting as the Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall in any event automatically acquire and assume all the rights and duties as those prescribed
for the Letter of Credit Issuer by this Article 5 and (c) the Former LC Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
foregoing, the Former LC Bank shall continue to enjoy all of the rights and remedies (as against the Borrowers and the other Lenders) provided to the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to any and all Letters of Credit which are
outstanding on the effective date of its resignation or removal and which are not replaced by Letters of Credit issued by its successor or otherwise canceled.

ARTICLE 10 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES 
 Each Borrower jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each of the Lenders
as follows: 
 SECTION 10.1 Existence; Subsidiaries. 

(a) Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of its incorporation
or organization and is duly qualified and authorized to do business wherever it owns any real estate or personal property or transacts any substantial business (except in jurisdictions in which failure to so qualify, singly or in the aggregate,
would not have a Material Adverse Effect). 
 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 10.1 hereto, no Lincoln Party has any Subsidiaries. 

SECTION 10.2 Power, Authorization and Consent; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Notes
by a Borrower, and of all Loan Documents to which any of them is party (a) are within Holdings’ or such other Borrower’s legal power and authority, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper action of Holdings or
such other Borrower, (c) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person which has not been obtained, (d) will not violate (i) any provision of Law applicable to Holdings or such other
Borrower, (ii) any provision of Holdings’ or such other Borrower’s, as the case may be, certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or regulations, or operating agreement, or (iii) any material agreement or material
indenture by which Holdings or such other Borrower or the property of Holdings or such other Borrower is bound, except where such violation specified in this clause (iii) would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (e) will not result in
the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance on any property or assets of Holdings or such other Borrower except as provided herein. 

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which such Borrower is
to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Borrower, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable Debtor

  
 69 

 
Relief Laws and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 10.3 Litigation; Proceedings. Except as set forth on Schedule 10.3 hereto, no action, suit, investigation or proceeding is now
pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings, threatened, against Holdings or any Subsidiary, at Law, in equity or otherwise, or with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, before any Governmental Authority, or before any arbitrator or
panel of arbitrators which would or might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 10.4 ERISA Compliance.

 (a) Holdings and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable Laws except for such
instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or
excise Tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that would reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such
liability by Holdings or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of Holdings or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise Tax
provisions or to Section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate material in relation to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets, or properties
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 (b) On the Restatement Date, the present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities
under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of January 1, 2017 on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the
aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities in the case of any single Plan or in the aggregate for all Plans, except as set forth in Holdings’ Form 10-K Annual Report for the Fiscal Year ending
December 31, 2016. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in Section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meanings specified in Section 3 of ERISA.

 (c) Holdings and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities)
under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are material in relation to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets, or properties of Holdings and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole. Neither Holdings nor any of its ERISA Affiliates is a participating employer of, or makes contributions to, a Multiple Employer Plan. 

(d) The expected post-retirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of Holdings’ most recently ended Fiscal Year in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage 

  
 70 

 
mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries is not material in relation to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets, or properties of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 (e) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the occurrence of any Credit Event hereunder
will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a Tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. 

SECTION 10.5 Financial Condition. The Consolidated audited financial statements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year
ending December 31, 2016, previously delivered to the Lenders, are true and complete (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a disclosure of all material contingent liabilities), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
applied on a basis consistent with those used during their next preceding Fiscal Year (except as noted therein) and fairly present their then financial condition and operations for the Fiscal Year then ending. Since December 31, 2016, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial condition, properties or business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

SECTION 10.6 Solvency. Each Borrower has received consideration which is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and
liabilities that such Borrower has incurred to the Lenders. No Borrower is insolvent as defined by any applicable state or federal Law, nor will any Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Note or
Guaranty to the Lenders. No Borrower is engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it shall be an unreasonably small capital, taking into consideration the obligations to the Lenders incurred
hereunder. No Borrower intends to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay them as they mature. 
 SECTION
10.7 Default. No Event of Default or Incipient Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof. 

SECTION 10.8 Lawful Operations. The operations of Holdings, the operations of each of the Subsidiaries and all Borrower Property are in
full compliance with all requirements imposed by Law or regulation, whether federal, state or local including (without limitation) all Environmental Laws, occupational safety and health Laws and zoning ordinances except where the noncompliance with
any such Laws could not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that this Section 10.8 shall not apply to any noncompliance if and to the extent that the same is being contested in good
faith by timely and appropriate proceedings which are effective to stay enforcement thereof and against which appropriate reserves have been established. 

SECTION 10.9 Investment Company Act Status. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. 

  
 71 

 SECTION 10.10 Regulation G/Regulation U/Regulation X Compliance. No Borrower is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock”, (as defined by Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the
United States (as amended from time to time)) and all official rulings and interpretations thereunder or thereof and at no time shall more than 25% of the value of the assets of Holdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any
“arrangement” (as such term is used in section 221.2(g) of Regulation U) be represented by “margin stock”. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or
ultimately, (i) to purchase or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing “margin stock” or to carry or to extend credit to others for the purpose of carrying stock which will be “margin stock” after giving
effect to the Loans, (ii) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States, including Regulation G, U or X, or
(iii) in violation of (a) the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act of 2010, and other similar Anti-Corruption Law in other jurisdictions in which the Lincoln Parties conduct business, (b) applicable
Sanctions or the (c) USA Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 10.11 Title to Properties. Each Lincoln Party has good and marketable title to
all assets reflected in such entity’s most recent financial statements referred to in Section 10.5, except for assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date of such financial statements. All such assets are free and
clear of any mortgage, security interest or other Lien of any kind, other than any Liens permitted by this Agreement, except for those defects in title (as distinct from Liens) that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 10.12 Intellectual Property. Each Lincoln Party owns or has the legal and valid right
to use all intellectual property necessary for the operation of its business as presently conducted, free from any Lien not permitted under this Agreement and free of any restrictions material to the operation of its business as presently conducted.

 SECTION 10.13 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Lincoln Parties and their respective officers and employees and, to the
knowledge of the Borrowers, their directors and agents, are in compliance in all material respects with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. Holdings has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to
ensure compliance in all material respects by the Lincoln Parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and (to the extent reasonably within their control) agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. None of (i) the
Lincoln Parties or any of their respective officers or employees, or (ii) to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any director or agent of a Lincoln Party that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the Revolving Credit
Facility, is a Sanctioned Person. 
 SECTION 10.14 Full Disclosure. No information, exhibits or reports furnished by Holdings or any
other Borrower to the Agent or any Lender omits to state any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances and purposes for which such information was provided. Holdings and each of
the other 

  
 72 

 
Borrowers has provided all information requested by the Agent or any Lender and all such information is complete and accurate in all material respects. 

SECTION 10.15 EEA Financial Institutions. No Borrower is an EEA Financial Institution.

REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere, 

SECTION 12.1 Optional Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in any of Sections 11.1 through and including 11.6, in clause
(b) of Section 11.7, or in Section 11.8 or in Section 11.9 shall occur, the Majority Lenders, shall have the right in their discretion (i) by directing the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to give written notice to the
Borrowers, to: 
 (1) terminate the Commitments hereby established, if not theretofore terminated, and forthwith upon such
election the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make any further loan or loans hereunder and to risk participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or otherwise effect any Credit Event, and the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to
issue Letters of Credit, immediately shall be terminated, and/or 
 (2) accelerate the maturity of all of the Obligations to
the Lenders and the Agent (if not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations to the Lenders and the Agent shall become and (including but not limited to the Notes and all reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit) thereafter
be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower, and the Borrowers shall immediately deposit with the Agent as cash
collateral an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Amounts of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, and 
 (ii) to exercise (or cause the Agent to
exercise) such other rights and remedies as may be available hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity. 
 SECTION 12.2
Automatic Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 11.7 (other than clause (b) thereof) shall occur: 
 (1)
all of the Commitments and the credits hereby established shall automatically and forthwith terminate, if not theretofore terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any further loan or loans hereunder or otherwise
effect any Credit Event, nor 

  
 75 

 
shall the Letter of Credit Issuer be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder, and 

(2) the principal of and interest on any Notes and all reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding, all of
the Borrowers’ other Lender Debt, and all of the Obligations to the Lenders and the Agent shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or
notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by each Borrower, and the Borrowers shall immediately deposit with the Agent as cash collateral an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Amounts of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, and 

(3) subject to any applicable automatic stay or other restriction of Law, the Agent and the Lenders may exercise such other rights and
remedies as may be available hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity. 
 SECTION 12.3 Offsets. If there shall
occur or exist any Event of Default or if the maturity of the Notes or any Letter of Credit is accelerated pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2, each Lender shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward
the payment of, any and all Indebtedness then owing by any Borrowers to that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 12.4), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any
and all deposit balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit or account of any Borrowers, all without notice to or demand upon the Borrowers or any other person, all such notices and demands being hereby
expressly waived by the Borrowers. 
 SECTION 12.4 Equalization of Advantage. Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if it at
any time shall obtain any Advantage over the other Lenders in respect of the Obligations to the Lenders (except under Section 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 or 15.4), it will purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in
the Obligations to the Lenders as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. If any Advantage so resulting in the purchase of an additional participation shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the person recovering the Advantage from such Lender) ratably to the extent
of the recovery. Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of any Borrowers on any indebtedness owing by the Borrowers to that Lender by reason of offset of any deposit or
other indebtedness, it will apply such payment first to any and all indebtedness owing by such Borrowers to that Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this
Section 12.4) until the Obligations have been paid in full. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders pursuant to this Section may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of any Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If a Defaulting Lender receives any Advantage, such Lender shall turn over such payments to the Agent
in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in Section 3.6(a).

 first, to the payment of all expenses (to the extent not paid by the Borrowers) incurred by the Agent or the
Lenders in connection with the exercise of such remedies, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, attorneys’ fees, court costs and any foreclosure expenses;

Document; and 
 finally, any remaining surplus after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrowers or to
whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto. 
 ARTICLE 13 

THE AGENT 
 SECTION 13.1 The
Agent. Each Lender irrevocably appoints KeyBank to be its Agent with full authority to take such actions, and to exercise such powers, on behalf of the Lenders in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are therein respectively
delegated to the Agent or as are reasonably incidental to those delegated powers. KeyBank in such capacity shall be deemed to be an independent contractor of the Lenders. For the purposes of this Article 13, “Lender” shall include any
Lender. 
 SECTION 13.2 Nature of Appointment. The Agent shall have no fiduciary relationship with any Lender by reason of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether an Incipient Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Lender except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender acknowledges that the Agent is acting as such solely as a convenience to the Lenders and not as a manager of the commitments or the
Obligations evidenced by the Notes. This Article 13 does not confer any rights upon the Borrowers or anyone else (except the Lenders), whether as a third party beneficiary or otherwise. 

  
 77 

 SECTION 13.3 KeyBank as a Lender; Other Transactions. KeyBank’s rights as a Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected by its serving as the Agent. KeyBank and its affiliates may generally transact any banking, financial, trust, advisory or other business with Holdings or its Subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, the acceptance of deposits, the extension of credit and the acceptance of fiduciary appointments) without notice to the Lenders, without accounting to the Lenders, and without prejudice to KeyBank’s rights as a
Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except as may be expressly required under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 13.4
Instructions from Lenders. The Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action as to matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, collection and
enforcement actions in respect of any Obligations under the Notes or this Agreement and any collateral therefor) except that the Agent shall take such action (or omit to take such action) other than actions referred to in Section 15.1,
as may be reasonably requested of it in writing by the Majority Lenders with instructions and which actions and omissions shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act (or omit
any act) if, in its judgment, any such action or omission might expose the Agent to personal liability or might be contrary to this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may
be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. 

SECTION 13.5 Lenders’ Diligence. Each Lender (a) represents and warrants that it has made its decision to enter into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) agrees that it will make its own decision as to taking or not taking future actions in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; in each case without reliance on the Agent or any
other Lender and on the basis of its independent credit analysis and its independent examination of and inquiry into such documents and other matters as it deems relevant and material. 

SECTION 13.6 No Implied Representations. The Agent shall not be liable for any representation, warranty, agreement or obligation of any
kind of any other party to this Agreement or anyone else, whether made or implied by Holdings or any other Borrower in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by a Lender in any notice or other communication or by anyone else or otherwise. 

SECTION 13.7 Sub-Agents. The Agent may employ agents and shall not be liable (except as to money or property received by it or its
agents) for any negligence or misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, certified public accountants and other experts of its choosing (including, without limitation, KeyBank’s
salaried employees or any otherwise not independent) and shall not be liable for any action or inaction taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or other experts which shall have been
selected by it with reasonable care. 
 SECTION 13.8 Agent’s Diligence. The Agent shall not be required (a) to keep itself
informed as to anyone’s compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan 

  
 78 

 
Document, (b) to make any inquiry into the properties, financial condition or operation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (c) to report to any Lender any information (other than which this Agreement or any other Loan Document expressly requires to be so reported) that the Agent or any of its affiliates may have or acquire in respect of the
properties, business or financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (d) to inquire into the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or
other Loan Document. 
 SECTION 13.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Incipient Default or
Event of Default unless and until it shall have received a written notice describing it and citing the relevant provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent shall give each Lender reasonably prompt notice of any such written
notice except to any Lender that shall have given the written notice. 
 SECTION 13.10 Agent’s Liability. Neither the Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, and other agents shall be liable for any action or omission on their respective parts except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the
Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Revolving Credit Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives a fully executed copy of the assignment agreement required by Section 14.1(b) signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the
Agent and the fee required by Section 14.1(c); (ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice or such counsel, accountants or experts which have been selected by the Agent with reasonable care; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the truth of the statements made in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Borrowers under
Article 6 or any Notice of Borrowing, Rate Continuation/Conversion Request, Reimbursement Agreement or any other similar notice or delivery, the Agent being entitled for the purposes of determining fulfillment of the conditions set forth therein to
rely conclusively upon such certificates; (iv) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, shall not have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; (v) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Holdings or any Subsidiaries; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any collateral covered by any agreement or any other Loan Document and (vii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan
Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy, cable, telex or email) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and signed or sent by the proper party or
parties. 

  
 79 

 Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any
responsibility to the Borrowers on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or
the Borrowers of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. 

The Lenders each hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 15.1). 
 SECTION 13.11 Compensation. The Agent shall receive no compensation for its
services as agent of the Lenders in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Document, except as otherwise expressly agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent, but the Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent periodically on its demand for
out-of-pocket expenses, if any, reasonably incurred by it as such and as to which Agent has delivered to the Borrowers’ reasonable substantiation. 

SECTION 13.12 Agent’s Indemnity. The Lenders shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent the Agent is not reimbursed by the
Borrowers) from and against (a) any loss or liability (other than any caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and other than any loss to the Agent resulting from the Borrowers’ non-payment of administrative fees
owed solely to the Agent) incurred by the Agent as such in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, or other Loan Document (as the Agent) and (b) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending itself or otherwise related
to this Agreement, the Notes, any Letter of Credit, or other Loan Documents (other than any caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel of its
own selection (including, without limitation, the reasonable interdepartmental charges of its salaried attorneys) in the defense of any claim against it or in the prosecution of its rights and remedies as the Agent (other than the loss, liability or
costs incurred by the Agent in the defense of any claim against it by the Lenders arising in connection with its actions in its capacity as Agent); provided, however, that each Lender shall be liable for only its Ratable Portion of the
whole loss or liability. 
 SECTION 13.13 Resignation. The Agent (or any successor) may at any time resign as such by giving thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers and to each Lender; and the Majority Lenders may remove the Agent at any time with or without cause by giving written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers. In either case, resignation or
removal, the institution then serving as Agent shall also resign as Letter of Credit Issuer in the manner provided in Section 5.3, above, unless Holdings, on behalf of the Borrowers, has waived in writing the requirements of this sentence. In
any such case, the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor to the resigned or removed agent (the “Former Agent”), which shall also serve as successor Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that the Majority Lenders obtain the
Borrowers’ prior written consent to the successor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), by giving written notice to the Borrowers, the Former Agent and each Lender not participating in the appointment;

  
 80 

 
provided, however, that, if at the time of the proposed resignation or removal of an Agent, any Borrower is the subject of an action referred to in Section 11.7 or any other
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required. In the absence of a timely appointment, the Former Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to make a temporary appointment of any Lender
(but only with that Lender’s consent) to act as its successor (and as successor Letter of Credit Issuer) pending an appointment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In either case, the successor Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer
shall deliver its written acceptance of appointment to the Borrowers, to each Lender and to the Former Agent, whereupon (a) the Former Agent shall execute and deliver such assignments and other writings as the successor Agent may reasonably
require to facilitate its being and acting as the Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the successor Agent (and successor Letter of Credit Issuer) shall in any event automatically acquire and assume all the rights and duties as those
prescribed for the Agent by this Article 13 and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, above, for the Letter of Credit Issuer by Article 5, above, and (c) the Former Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 13.14 Lender Purpose. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agent, the other
Lenders and the Borrowers that such Lender is familiar with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and is not entering into this Agreement with any intention to violate such Act or any rule or regulation
thereunder. Subject to the provisions of Sections 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3, each Lender shall at all times retain full control over the disposition of its assets subject only to this Agreement and to all applicable Law. 

SECTION 13.15 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer
acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender nor the Letter of Credit Issuer, nor any of their Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Letter of Credit Issuer’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as
hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Corruption Law or Sanctions Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrowers, their Affiliates
or their agents, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists,
(iv) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws. 
 ARTICLE 14 

ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS 

SECTION 14.1 Assignments. 

(a) Assignments by Borrowers Prohibited. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; provided, however, that no Borrower shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Note without the prior written consent of all of the
Lenders and the Agent. 

  
 81 

 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Each Lender may assign all or any part of any of its Revolving
Credit Loans, its Note, its Commitment and its participation in the Letters of Credit with the consent of Holdings, the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (i) no such
consent by Holdings shall be required (A) for any such assignment by any Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or an Affiliate of another Lender, or (B) if, at the time of such assignment, an Event of Default or
Incipient Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000, unless such partial assignment is to another Lender; (iii) each such assignment shall be made by a
Lender in such manner that the same portion of its Revolving Credit Loans, its Note, its Commitment and its participation in the Letters of Credit is assigned to the assignee; and (iv) the assignee, if not already a Lender, shall agree to
become a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto, including, without limitation, an Administrative Questionnaire as a supplement thereto in the form of Exhibit G hereto. Upon execution and delivery
by the assignor and the assignee to the Borrowers and the Agent of an instrument in writing pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the share of the Total Commitment Amount,
Loans and Letters of Credit specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Holdings (to the extent, if any, required), the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise
provided in such assignment with the consent of the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the share of the Total Commitment Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit (or portions
thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the share of the Total Commitment Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit, if any, theretofore held by such assignee); and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the share
of the Total Commitment Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit and the obligations hereunder so assigned. 
 (c) Procedures. Upon its
receipt of an assignment pursuant to Section 14.1(b) above duly executed by an assigning Lender and the assignee, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, the Agent shall, if such
assignment has been completed, accept such assignment. Within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers, at the Borrowers’ expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for each surrendered Note a new
Note to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by the assignee and, if the assigning Lender has retained a portion of its Commitment, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the share of
its Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such assignment, shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, and, upon such execution and delivery shall be a “Note” under this Agreement. Canceled Notes shall be returned to Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers. 

(d) Additional Restriction on Assignment. Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, except pursuant to this
Agreement, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates without the prior written consent of each Lender. 

  
 82 

 (e) Failure to Comply. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 14.2. 

(f) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, (i) except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender; and (ii) no assignment hereunder shall
be made to 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 sentence. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations
of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the 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 Holdings 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 (i) pay and satisfy in full all payment
liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full proportionate share of all Loans and
participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law
without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

SECTION 14.2 Participations. A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a
participation in all or any part of any Revolving Credit Loans held by it, or in its Commitment or its participation in the Letters of Credit. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 14.2, no Participant shall have any
rights or benefits under this Agreement or any Note or any other Loan Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements executed by such Lender in favor of the
Participant). All amounts payable by the Borrowers to any Lender under this Agreement, and in respect of its Commitment, shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participations in such Revolving Credit Loans and share
of Commitment, and as if such Lender were funding each of such Revolving Credit Loans and its share of such Commitment in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Revolving Credit Loans and its Commitment in which no participations have
been sold. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant (other than an Affiliate of such Lender) to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may
agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 15.1 hereof, requires the
consent of each 

  
 83 

 
Lender. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7 through 3.9, inclusive, and Section 12.3 (but, (i) only to the extent that the
selling Lender is entitled to such benefits and (ii) as to any sums realized thereunder, subject to Section 12.4) with respect to its participating interest. 

SECTION 14.3 Permitted Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this
Article 13, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any
Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 

SECTION 14.4 Furnishing of Borrower Information. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Holdings and its Subsidiaries in the
possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including, with the prior written consent of Holdings, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prospective assignees and participants, provided
that no such consent shall be required upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default). 
 ARTICLE 15 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 15.1
Amendments, Consents. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes, nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Majority Lenders (and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given); provided, however, that the consent of each Lender affected directly thereby shall be
required with respect to any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver which would effect: 
 (i) the extension of maturity of any Loan
or Note of such Lender, or of the payment date of interest, principal and/or fees thereunder or hereunder, or 
 (ii) any reduction in the
rate of interest on any Loan or Note of such Lender, or in any amount of principal or interest due on any Loan or Note of such Lender or in the rate or amount of fees payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.4; provided that the
waiver of interest or Risk Participation Fees at the Increased Rate during an Event of Default shall not be construed to be an amendment, modification or waiver covered by this clause (ii); or 

(iii) any change in the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder, or 

(iv) any change in any percentage voting requirement in this Agreement, or 

(v) any increase in the dollar amount or percentage of such Lender’s Commitment without such Lender’s written consent, or 

  
 84 

 (vi) any change in amount or timing of any fees payable to such Lender under this Agreement, or

 (vii) any release of any portion of collateral, if any, other than in accordance with this Agreement, or any release of any Borrower from
its obligations under the Loan Documents, or 
 (viii) any change in any provision of this Agreement which requires all of the Lenders to
take any action under such provision or 
 (ix) any change in Section 12.4, Section 12.5, Section 14.1(a) or this
Section 15.1 itself. 
 By way of clarification and not limitation, all of the Lenders shall be deemed to be affected directly by the matters described
in each of clauses (iii), (iv), (vii), (viii) and (ix), above. 
 Notice of amendments or consents ratified by the Lenders hereunder shall immediately
be forwarded by the Borrowers to all Lenders. Each Lender or other holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this section, regardless of its failure to agree thereto. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Majority Lenders enter into or consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to
this Section 15.1, no consent of any other Lender will be required if, when such waiver, amendment or modification becomes effective, (A) the Commitment of each Lender not consenting thereto terminates and (B) all amounts owing to it
or accrued for its account hereunder are paid in full; (ii) no such waiver, amendment or modification shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer without its prior written
consent; and (iii) if any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of such Lender and that has been approved by the Majority Lenders, the Borrowers
may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 15.15; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such
assignments required by the Borrowers to be made pursuant to this paragraph). 
 SECTION 15.2 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No
omission or course of dealing on the part of Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held by operation of Law, by
contract or otherwise. 
 SECTION 15.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder to a
party hereto shall be in writing and shall be mailed or delivered to such party (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile transmission), addressed to such 

  
 85 

 
party at its address specified on Schedule 1 hereto or at such other address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other parties hereto. All notices, statements, requests,
demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when delivered or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail or delivered to a
telegraph company, addressed as aforesaid, except that notices from the Borrowers to Agent or the Lenders pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6 hereof, shall not be effective until received
by Agent or the Lenders. 
 SECTION 15.4 Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing for record, modification, administration and amendment of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment), the Notes, the Letters of Credit, and the
other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its
rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such costs and expenses shall include: (i) reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the
Agent; (ii) extraordinary expenses of Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the Notes, Letters of Credit, any other Loan Document and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder; (iii) the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of special counsel for the Agent or the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, with respect thereto and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel with respect thereto;
(iv) costs and expenses of the Agent (including reasonable attorneys and paralegal costs, expenses and disbursements) for any amendment, supplement, waiver, consent, or subsequent closing in connection with this Agreement, the Notes, any
Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated thereby; (v) sums paid or incurred by the Agent to pay any amount or take any action required of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes or any Loan Document
that the Borrowers fail to pay or take; (vi) the cost of any appraisal, survey, environmental audit or the retention of any other professional service or consultant commenced after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and
deemed reasonably necessary by the Agent; (vii) costs of inspections and periodic review of the records of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, travel, lodging, and meals for inspections of Holdings’ and its
Subsidiaries’ operations by the Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; (viii) as specified in the Fee Letter, costs and expenses of forwarding loan proceeds, fees, interest and other
payments to the Lenders; and (ix) costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred to obtain payment of the Obligations (including the Obligations arising under this Section 15.4), enforce the
provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document, or to defend any claims made or threatened against the Agent arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation, preparations for and
consultations concerning any such matters). The Borrowers further agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses of each Lender, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the restructuring or the enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection

  
 86 

 
with the enforcement of rights under this Section 15.4. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Documents regarding
costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrowers. All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged, in the Agent’s sole discretion, to the Borrowers’ loan accounts as Revolving Credit Loans (notwithstanding existence of any Incipient
Default or Event of Default or the failure of the conditions of Article 7 to have been satisfied). 
 (b) Without duplication of sums owing
under Section 15.4(a) above, each Borrower shall indemnify each of the Lender Parties, their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Lender Party and its Affiliates (each such Person
being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by
or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by any of the Lincoln Parties
party to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Letter of
Credit Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that (I) such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (II) such indemnity shall not be available to any
Indemnitee for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a proceeding in which such Indemnitee and any Borrower are adverse parties to the extent that any Borrower prevails on the merits, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a claim or suit by such Borrower against any Indemnitee for such Indemnitee’s failure to perform any of its obligations to such Borrower under the Loan
Documents); (III) the Borrowers shall not, in connection with any such proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction and in the absence of conflicts of interest or differing interests among the Indemnitees, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one law firm at any one time for the Indemnitees (which law firm (or, if applicable, law firms) shall be selected (A) by mutual agreement of the Majority Lenders (or, if applicable, such respective interested Indemnitees)
and the Borrowers or (B) if no such agreement has been reached following the Lenders’ (or, if applicable, such interested Indemnitees) good faith consultation with the Borrowers with respect thereto, by the Majority Lenders (or, if
applicable, such respective interested Indemnitees) in their sole discretion); (IV) each Indemnitee shall give such Borrower (A) prompt notice of any such action brought against such Indemnitee in connection with a claim for which it is
entitled to indemnity under this Section and (B) an opportunity to consult from time to time with such Indemnitee regarding defensive measures and potential settlement; and 

  
 87 

 
(V) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the amount of any settlement entered into without their written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 

(c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer under
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent or the
Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower shall not assert, and each
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts payable
under this Section shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 15.5 Obligations
Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership,
association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such
default. 
 SECTION 15.6 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. 

SECTION 15.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers, Agent
and by each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their
rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. No person, other than the Lenders, shall have or acquire any obligation to grant the Borrowers any Loans hereunder. Any Lender may at any time sell,
assign, transfer, grant a participation pursuant to Article 14 hereof. 
 SECTION 15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, each of the
Notes and any other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and obligations of the Borrowers and the Lenders shall be governed by Ohio Law. 

  
 88 

 SECTION 15.9 Severability of Provisions; Captions; Survival. Any provision of this
Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. Each party’s
obligations under Sections 3.7(a), (b) and (d), Section 3.8, Section 3.9, Section 3.10 and Section 15.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

SECTION 15.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to in or otherwise contemplated by this Agreement
set forth the entire agreement of the parties as to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 15.11
Confidentiality. The Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that Holdings and its Subsidiaries have financial and other data and information the confidentiality of which is important to their business. The Agent and the Lenders agree to use
all reasonable efforts to keep confidential any such confidential information conveyed to them and appropriately designated in writing by Holdings on behalf of the Borrowers as being confidential information, except that this Section shall
not be binding on the Agent or the Lenders after the expiration of three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement and shall not preclude the Agent and the Lenders from furnishing any such confidential information: (i) subject to
Holdings’ receipt of prior notice from the Agent or a Lender, if permitted under applicable law and such legal proceedings, to the extent which may be required by subpoena or similar order of any court of competent jurisdiction (which notice,
if so permitted under applicable law and such legal proceedings, shall advise Holdings of the information required by such subpoena or order, the party to whom such subpoena or order requires such information to be delivered and the court of other
tribunal that issued such subpoena or order), (ii) to the extent such information is required to be disclosed to any authority over the Agent or a Lender or its securities, (iii) to any other party to this Agreement, (iv) to any
Affiliate of the Agent or a Lender (provided that such Affiliate is informed of the confidential nature of the information and instructed to keep it confidential as herein provided, and provided, further, that each of the Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, shall remain liable for any breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder by its Affiliate), (v) to any actual or prospective successor Agent and to any actual or prospective transferee, participant or
subparticipant of all or part of a Lender’s rights arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any thereof so long as such prospective transferee, participant or subparticipant to whom disclosure is made agrees in writing to Holdings
to be bound by the provisions of this Section 15.11, (vi) to anyone if it shall have been already publicly disclosed (other than by the Agent or a Lender in contravention of this Section 15.11), (vii) to the extent reasonably
required in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (viii) to the Agent’s or a Lender’s legal counsel, auditors, professional advisors and consultants, and accountants and
(ix) in connection with any legal proceedings instituted by or against the Agent or a Lender in its capacity as the Agent or a Lender under this Agreement. 

  
 89

 90 

 SECTION 15.14 USA Patriot Act. 

(a) Each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or the Issuer that is not incorporated under the Laws of
the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an Affiliate of a depository
institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to
the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender or the Issuer is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable
regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Restatement Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act. 

(b) Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower
in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. Each Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing
obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act. 

SECTION 15.15 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, or if any circumstance exists under
Section 15.1 that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 14.1, other than the consent of the Lender being replaced), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 14.1(c); 

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Credit Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other Obligations then owing to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.3(d)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 91 

 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 15.16 Acknowledgement and
Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees
to be bound by: 
 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities
arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-in
Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its
parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the
write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 SECTION 15.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In
connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand,
(B) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has been acting solely as 

  
 92 

 
a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower or any of its
Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its
Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have
against each of the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

ARTICLE 16 
 JOINT AND SEVERAL 

SECTION 16.1 Joint and Several. The Borrowers agree and acknowledge that their liability to pay all Loans and to perform all other
Obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which they are a party is and shall be joint and several. No Borrower shall have any right of subrogation, reimbursement or similar right in respect of its payment of any sum or its
performance of any other obligation hereunder unless and until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent have no further obligation hereunder. In addition, each Borrower confirms that upon each
Credit Event, it will have received adequate consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the Indebtedness incurred and other agreements made in the Loan Documents. No Borrower could reasonably expect to obtain financing separately on terms as
favorable as those provided for herein. 
 SECTION 16.2 Obligations Absolute. The Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be
valid and enforceable and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not be subject to limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than the payment in full of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the occurrence of any
failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce any claim or demand of any right power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty thereof or security therefor or
any other act or thing or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower as an obligor in respect of the Obligations; and each Borrower hereby waives (i) any defense based upon any statute or rule of
law or equity to the effect that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits which may
be derived from or afforded by law or equity which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 

SECTION 16.3 Limitations. 

(a) If the Obligations of a Borrower would be held or determined by a court or tribunal having competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the 

  
 93 

 
amount of its aggregate liability under this Agreement or the Notes, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary, the aggregate amount of the
liability of such Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall, without any further action by such Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to an amount which is
valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law
(collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged or otherwise received by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of
interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
Lender shall have received such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Fed Funds Rate to the date of payment. 
 (b)
Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a), above, each Borrower and the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that none of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan
Document constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or similar state statute applicable to the Loan Documents. Therefore, such parties agree
that the Obligations of a Borrower shall be limited to such maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Borrower that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to
any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of the other Borrowers and any other obligor, result in the Obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 16.3 are intended solely to preserve the rights of Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent
hereunder to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, and neither a Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under such provisions that would not otherwise be available under applicable Law.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE 
  

			
	$    ,000,000	  	Cleveland, Ohio
		  	June 30, 2017

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned LINCOLN ELECTRIC HOLDINGS, INC., an Ohio corporation
(“Holdings”), THE LINCOLN ELECTRIC COMPANY, an Ohio corporation (“Lincoln”), LINCOLN ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL HOLDING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“International”), J.W. HARRIS CO., INC., an Ohio corporation
(“Harris”), TECHALLOY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Techalloy”), WAYNE TRAIL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., an Ohio corporation (“Wayne”), and LINCOLN GLOBAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Global” and with Wayne,
Techalloy, Harris, International, Lincoln and Holdings, each a “Borrower” and, collectively, the “Borrowers”) jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of
                                         
            (the “Lender”, which term shall include any subsequent holder hereof), at the Payment Office (as this and other capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein are defined in the Credit Agreement, defined below), the principal sum of                      MILLION
                     HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($    ,    ,000) or the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans evidenced by this Note made by the Lender to the Borrowers, or any of them, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, whichever is less, in lawful money of the United States of America on the last day of the
Commitment Period or upon earlier acceleration of maturity pursuant to the Credit Agreement. 
 This Note is one of the Revolving Credit
Notes issued under and pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, of even date herewith (as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), among the
Borrowers, the Lender and certain other financial institutions party thereto, KeyBank National Association, as Letter of Credit Issuer, and KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent for the Lender and such other financial institutions.

 The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan evidenced hereby
from the date of such Revolving Credit Loan until the principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on demand
interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest from their due dates at the rate or rates set forth in the Credit Agreement. 

The portions of the principal sum hereof from time to time representing Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, and payments of principal of any
thereof, will be shown on a ledger or other record of the Lender or by such other method as such Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry or any error in such entries shall in no way detract from the
Borrowers’ obligations under this Note or to repay such Revolving Credit Loans, and all accrued interest thereon, in full. 

  
 Page 1 of 3 Pages 

 This Note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes referred to in the Credit Agreement. Reference is
made to the Credit Agreement for, inter alia, a description of the dates upon which principal and interest are due and payable, the place at which and manner in which such payments are to be made, the right of the Borrowers to anticipate payments
hereunder, the right of the Lender to declare this Note due prior to its stated maturity, and other terms and conditions upon which this Note is issued, including, without limitation, the provisions of Article 16 thereof. 

The Borrowers hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. The failure of the Lender to exercise
any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver in that or any subsequent instance. 
 This Note
evidences the indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lender previously evidenced by, and amends and restates that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note dated September 12, 2014 (the “Amended and Restated Note”),
which amended and restated that certain Revolving Credit Note dated July 26, 2012 (the “Original Note” and together with the Amended and Restated Note, the “Prior Note”), provided that this Note shall not be
construed to evidence a payment and readvance of such indebtedness, it being the intention of the Borrowers and, by their acceptance hereof, the Lender that this Note evidences the same indebtedness as that evidenced by the Prior Note immediately
prior to the delivery of this Note (and other indebtedness advanced on and after the date hereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, in addition to the principal evidenced by the Prior Note, this Note also evidences any and
all accrued and unpaid interest under the Prior Note not heretofore paid, all of which interest accrued and unpaid under the Prior Note shall be due and payable on the date of and with the first installment of interest due under this Note.

FORM OF 
 ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

 This Assignment Agreement (this “Assignment Agreement”) between
                         (the “Assignor”) and
                         (the “Assignee”) is dated as of
                        ,         . The parties hereto agree as follows:

 1. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. The Assignor is a party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (as
heretofore and hereafter amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc., The Lincoln Electric Company, Lincoln Electric International Holding Company, J.W. Harris

attributed to them in the Credit Agreement. The Assignor desires to assign to the Assignee, and the Assignee desires to assume from the Assignor, a          percent
(         %) interest (the “Purchased Percentage”) in the Commitment of the Assignor and in the Assignor’s Ratable Portion of the Loans and the other Obligations, such that, after
giving effect to the assignment and assumption hereinafter provided for, (a) the Commitment of the Assignee shall equal
                     Dollars
($                    ) and its percentage (that is, its Ratable Portion) of the Total Commitment Amount, the Loans and the other
Obligations shall equal              percent (            %), and (b) the Commitment of the Assignor shall
equal              Dollars ($            ) and its percentage (that is, its Ratable Portion) of the Total
Commitment Amount, the Loans and the other Obligations shall equal              percent (            %). 

2. ASSIGNMENT. For and in consideration of the assumption of obligations by the Assignee set forth in Section 3 hereof and the
other consideration set forth herein, and effective as of the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), the Assignor does hereby sell, assign, transfer and convey all of its right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Percentage of (i) the
Commitment of the Assignor (as in effect on the Effective Date), (ii) any Revolving Credit Loan made by the Assignor or other Obligation owing to the Assignor which is outstanding on the Effective Date, (iii) any Note delivered to the
Assignor pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (iv) the Assignor’s participation in the Letters of Credit, and (v) the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Pursuant to Section 14.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, on and after
the Effective Date the Assignee shall have, with respect to the Purchased Percentage, the same rights, benefits and obligations as the Assignor had under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, all determined as if the Assignee were a
“Lender” under the Credit Agreement with                          Dollars

appropriately deliver a Notice of Borrowing or a Rate Conversion/Continuation Request prior to the time at which all of conditions to the effectiveness of this Assignment shall have been met, the Effective Date shall be the Banking Day immediately
following the day upon which the Revolving Credit Loans by the Lenders are to be made under such Notice of Borrowing or the Rate Conversion or Rate Continuation is to be effected in accordance with such Rate Conversion/Continuation Request. In no
event will the Effective Date occur if the payments required to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor on the Effective Date under Section 4 are not made on or prior to the proposed Effective Date. The Assignor will notify the Assignee of the
proposed Effective Date on the Banking Day prior to the proposed Effective Date and will notify the Assignee of any pending Notice of Borrowing or Rate Conversion/Continuation Request which would delay such proposed Effective Date. 

3. ASSUMPTION. For and in consideration of the assignment of rights by the Assignor set forth in Section 2 hereof and the other
consideration set forth herein, and effective as of the Effective Date, the Assignee does hereby accept that assignment, and assume and covenant and agree fully, completely and timely to perform, comply with and discharge, each and all of the
obligations, duties and liabilities of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents which are assigned to the Assignee hereunder, which assumption includes, without limitation, the obligation to fund the unfunded portion of the
Total Commitment Amount in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement as if the Assignee were a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement with
                     Dollars ($            ) of the Total Commitment
Amount, that is, with a Commitment of $                 and a Ratable Portion of         %. The Assignee agrees to
be bound by all provisions relating to “Lenders” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, provisions relating to the dissemination of information and the payment of
indemnification. The Assignee agrees further to deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently herewith, a completed Administrative Questionnaire, substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment III. 

4. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. On and after the Effective Date, the Assignee shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent all
payments of principal, interest and fees with respect to the Purchased Percentage of the Assignor’s Commitment and Ratable Portion of Loans and other Obligations. The Assignee shall advance funds directly to the Administrative Agent with
respect to all Loans and reimbursement payments made on or after the Effective Date. In consideration for the sale and assignment of Loans hereunder, (i) with respect to all Prime Rate Loans made by the Assignor outstanding on the Effective
Date, the Assignee shall pay the Assignor, on the Effective Date, an amount in [Dollars] equal to the Purchased Percentage of all such Prime Rate Loans, and (ii) with respect to each LIBOR Loan made by the Assignor outstanding on the Effective
Date, on the earliest of (a) the last day of the Interest Period therefor or (b) such earlier date agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee or (c) the date on which any such LIBOR Loan either becomes due (by acceleration or
otherwise) or is prepaid (the earliest such date as described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (c) being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Date”), the Assignee shall pay the Assignor an amount in [Dollars] equal to the
Purchased Percentage of such LIBOR Loan. On and after the Effective Date, the Assignee will also remit to the Assignor any amounts of interest on Loans and fees received from the

Effective Date, in the case of Prime Rate Loans and other Obligations, and not theretofore paid by the Assignee to the Assignor. In the event interest for the period from the Effective Date to but not including the Payment Date is not paid by the
Borrowers with respect to any LIBOR Loan sold by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on demand the Purchased Percentage of interest for such period on such LIBOR Loan at the applicable rate provided by the
Credit Agreement. In the event that either party hereto receives any payment to which (or to a portion of which) the other party hereto is entitled under this Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such amount shall promptly remit it (or
such portion) to the other party hereto. 
 5. CONFIDENTIALITY. By executing and delivering this Assignment, the Assignee

or omitted to be taken in connection with the Loans, the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, except for its or their own bad faith or willful misconduct. The Assignee appoints the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf

 8. SUBSEQUENT ASSIGNMENTS. After the Effective Date, the Assignee shall have
the right pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement to assign the rights which are assigned to the Assignee hereunder to any entity or person, provided that (i) any such subsequent assignment does not violate any of the terms and

10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Assignment Agreement and the attached consent embody the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. 

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Assignment Agreement shall be governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Ohio.
