“Applicable Margin” means, subject to the conditions below, with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit Fees, the

the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  

	1.03	Accounting Terms. 

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein, all accounting terms not specifically or completely defined
herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent
basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements; provided, however, that calculations of Attributable Indebtedness under any Synthetic Lease Obligations
or the implied interest component of any Synthetic 

  
 27 

 
Lease Obligations shall be made by the Borrower in accordance with accepted financial practice and consistent with the terms of such Synthetic Lease Obligations. 

(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set
forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent
thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided, that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein
and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of
such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. 
 (c) Effect of Transactions on
Calculations. Notwithstanding the above, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) calculation of the Borrowing Base, (ii) calculation of the Applicable Margin, (iii) calculation of the covenant in
Section 8.02(f) and (iv) calculation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.11 shall be determined on a Pro Forma Basis. 
  

	1.04	Rounding. 

 Any
financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such
ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 
  

	1.05	Times of Day. 

Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as
applicable). 
  

	1.06	Letter of Credit Amounts. 

 Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however,
that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be
the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. 
 ARTICLE II 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 

 

	2.01	Revolving Loans and Term Loans. 

 (a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) in Dollars to the
Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving
effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the Total Facility Outstandings shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (iii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this

  
 28 

 
Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as
further provided herein. 
 (b) Closing Date Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including
each proviso hereto), each Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Closing Date Term Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Closing Date
Term Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to the Borrowing of Closing Date Term Loans, the Total Facility Outstandings shall not exceed the Borrowing Base. Amounts repaid on the Closing Date Term Loans may not
be reborrowed. The Closing Date Term Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

(c) Incremental Term Loan. Each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.06(b) severally
agrees to make its portion of a term loan (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in a single advance in Dollars to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Incremental Term Loan Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to the Borrowing of the applicable Incremental Term Loan, the Total Facility Outstandings shall not exceed the Borrowing Base. Once advanced, Incremental Term Loans shall be aggregated with Closing Date Term
Loans and all such Loans shall be referred to as Term Loans. Amounts repaid on the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Term Loans, including any Incremental Term Loan, may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided
herein. 
  

	2.02	Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans. 

 (a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the irrevocable notice from the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone (provided that such telephonic notice complies with the information requirements of the form of Committed Loan Notice attached hereto). Each such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans;
provided, however, all Committed Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans; and provided further, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other
than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date
of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m.,
three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by
all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in
Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or
written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing,
conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing
Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely
notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period
then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will
be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 

  
 29 

 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of
any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at
the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing first shall
be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above. 
 (c) Subject to Section 3.05, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default,
no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans having Interest Periods greater than one month without the consent of the Required Lenders. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than
(i) ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans, and (ii) ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Term Loans. 

 

	2.03	Letters of Credit. 

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans severally agree to participate in
Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder (based on their respective Applicable Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments); provided that after giving effect to any L/C
Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Facility Outstandings shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount
of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment
of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
terms and 

  
 30 

 
conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the
terms and conditions hereof. 
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, subject to
Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolver Lenders have approved such expiry date; or the expiry
date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments have approved such expiry date. 

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall
prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the
L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or
more policies of the L/C Issuer; or 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C
Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $250,000. 
 (D) such Letter of Credit is
to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 
 (E) such Letter of Credit contains any provision for
automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or 
 (F) any Lender is at that time a
Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or
potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to
which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. 
 (iv)
The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. 

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

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C
Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued 

  
 31 

 
by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included the
L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to
the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer
and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed
issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed
issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of such Letter of Credit and (H) such other matters
as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be
amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the
L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless
the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit , that one or more of the
applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be satisfied, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as
the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to
prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice
Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such
extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its revised form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension 

  
 32 

 
Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with
respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall
reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof (which shall be based on such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Revolving Commitments). In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for
this purpose) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the Unreimbursed Amount not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery of
a Committed Loan Notice) cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall
be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 

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

(v) Each applicable Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for
amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such Lender may have 

  
 33 

 
against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans (but not to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any L/C Advance in the event the Borrower fails to do so) pursuant
to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 

(vi) If any applicable Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any
amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through
the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and rate determined by L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of
Participations. 
 (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related
Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable
Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the
Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or
other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue 

  
 34 

 
or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
 The
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will
immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a
Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy
of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to
any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of
any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for
any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer,
and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a
Letter of Credit unless the L/C Issuer is prevented or prohibited from so paying as a result of any order or directive of any court of Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued
(including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 
 (h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (based on
the respective Lenders’ Revolving Commitments/Loans) a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin times the daily amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit. For the purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be
(i) computed on a 

  
 35 

 
quarterly basis in arrears, and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur
after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all
Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
 (i) Fronting Fee and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.
The Borrower shall, in connection with the issuance or extension (whether or not pursuant to an automatic extension) of each Letter of Credit, pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the
greater of (i) $1,500.00 and (ii) 0.125% times the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect with respect to such Letter of Credit). Such fronting fee shall be
payable upon issuance or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit. For the purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.06. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C
Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control. 

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in
support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 

 

	2.04	Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees (unless it has determined
that it is reasonably likely that a Lender holding Revolving Commitments is or shall become a Defaulting Lender on or prior to the time on which the relevant Swing Line Loan is capable of being refinanced in accordance with
Section 2.04(c)) may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders holding Revolving Commitments as set forth in this Section 2.04, make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line
Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line
Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment,
and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower
may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.
Each 

  
 36 

 
such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed,
which shall be a minimum of $250,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing
Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or
in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line
Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount
of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender with a Revolving Commitment make a Base Rate Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (with respect to such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment) of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 5.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its
Applicable Percentage (with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash
Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject
to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in
accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Revolving Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line
Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per
annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may 

  
 37 

 
be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any
Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage (with respect
to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage (with respect to such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment) thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such
demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest
on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (with respect to such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment) of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 

 

	2.05	Prepayments. 

 (a)
Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. 
 (i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any
time or from time to time (A) voluntarily prepay Base Rate Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty, and (B) subject to Section 3.05 hereof, voluntarily prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole or in part on the last
day of the applicable Interest Period without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (x) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire
principal amount thereof then outstanding); (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding);
and (4) any prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s 

  
 38 

 
Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment
shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 
 (ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) Aggregate Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings
exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. 
 (ii) Total Facility Outstandings. If for any reason the
Total Facility Outstandings as of any date of determination exceed the Borrowing Base as of such date, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iii) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the remaining L/C Obligations
exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. 
 (iii) Borrowing Base Property Dispositions. 

(A) Upon the Disposition of any Borrowing Base Property, the Borrower shall, immediately upon the receipt of the Net Cash
Proceeds related thereto (and, in any case, not later than the day following the date on which such Disposition occurs) prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to (x) if after giving effect to
such Disposition there is less than two remaining hotel Borrowing Base Properties, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if after giving effect to such Disposition there is at least two remaining hotel Borrowings Base Properties, the lesser of
(1) 100.0% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) the amount of the prepayment required to cause the Total Facility Outstandings as of the date of such prepayment to be equal to or less than fifty percent (50.0%) of the then-applicable BBP
Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the first occurrence of any such Disposition of a Borrowing Base Property, the percentage referenced in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Borrowing Base”
contained in Section 1.01 shall, immediately upon the consummation of such Disposition, be irrevocably reduced from fifty-five percent (55.0%) to fifty percent (50.0%). Further, all Dispositions of Borrowing Base Properties
hereunder remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.05 (including, without limitation, the timely delivery by the Borrower of a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate giving Pro Forma Effect to such Disposition). The
Administrative Agent shall, in connection with any assertion or claim by the Borrower that it is entitled to prepay an amount that is less than 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds with respect to any Disposition of a Borrowing Base Property, have the
right to obtain, at the expense of the Borrower, a new appraisal with respect to any one or more of the remaining Borrowing Base Properties as of such date for recalculation of the Appraised Values associated therewith (such appraisal to be in form
and 

  
 39 

 
substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in its discretion). The Borrower shall, pending the completion of such re-appraisals, deposit 100.0% of the Net Cash Proceeds related to such
Disposition in an account controlled by the Administrative Agent to be held in escrow pending the final determination of the new Appraised Values for the remaining Borrowing Base Properties and shall execute any and all other documents, instruments
or agreements requested by Administrative Agent in connection with such account or to establish Administrative Agent’s rights with respect thereto. Upon the final determination of the new Appraised Values for the remaining Borrowing Base
Properties, the Administrative Agent shall release any amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to which the Borrower may be entitled pursuant to the proviso set forth above. 

(B) In addition to any prepayments required pursuant to item (A) above, to the extent any Net Cash Proceeds from the
Disposition of a Borrowing Base Property are applied to pay down any Indebtedness of any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to discharge or otherwise prepay the Obligations prior to any payment being
made against any Indebtedness evidenced by or related to any Senior Note Indenture. 
 (iv) Casualty and
Condemnation Events Related to Borrowing Base Properties. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Net Cash Proceeds related to any Involuntary Disposition with respect to any Borrowing Base Property immediately upon the
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. Such Net Cash Proceeds will be held in escrow by the Administrative Agent subject to the terms of Section 7.07 hereof. If the Borrower and Loan Parties elect, pursuant to Section 7.07
hereof, not to fully rebuild, reconstruct and otherwise restore the applicable Borrowing Base Property with such Net Cash Proceeds, such Net Cash Proceeds will, following the sixty (60) day decision period provided the Borrower in such
Section 7.07 or upon the written direction of the Borrower, be applied to the Obligations in the manner described in subsection (v) below except to the extent that (A) such prepayment would be in an amount that would
necessarily result in a paydown of the principal balance of the Term Loans (assuming the Borrower’s election to cause such proceeds to be first applied to the Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of the L/C Obligations)]; (B) the
Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period and prior to its delivery of any written direction for application of the funds against the Obligations, a request for the re-appraisal of such
Borrowing Base Property (which such appraisal shall constitute an appraisal obtained in connection with a casualty or condemnation event pursuant to Section 7.12 hereof) and return of any Net Cash Proceeds held by the Administrative
Agent which would otherwise necessarily be used for the prepayment of the Term Loans; (C) there exists, at the time of the Borrower’s written request and upon receipt of such new appraisal, no Default or Event of Default hereunder; and
(D) the Borrowing Base, once calculated taking into account such new appraisal, is sufficient to cover the Total Facility Outstandings as of the date on which such new appraisal is obtained. If Borrower provides a request pursuant to item
(B) above, the Net Cash Proceeds held in escrow by the Administrative Agent (1) shall, upon the receipt of the Borrower’s request pursuant to item (B) above, be applied, to the extent possible, to the outstanding Swing Line Loans
and Revolving Loans and to the Cash Collateralization of the L/C Obligations; and (2) if items (A) – (D) are fully satisfied, the excess proceeds remaining after application to the Revolving Loans and to the Cash
Collateralization of the L/C Obligations shall be returned to the Borrower. To the extent the Borrower delivers a request pursuant to item (B) above and the new appraisal obtained shows that the Borrowing Base is not sufficient to cover the
Total Facility Outstandings, the remaining amount held by the Administrative Agent in escrow shall be immediately applied to the Obligations in accordance with subclause (v) below. The parties hereto each acknowledge and agree that the funds
held by the Administrative Agent in escrow shall, at all times prior to application to the Obligations or return to the Borrower, be subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties. 
 (v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) shall be applied as follows: 
 (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(i), first to Swing Line Loans and then to Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations; 

  
 40 

 (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections
2.05(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv), to Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans (at the option and written direction of the Borrower delivered concurrently with such prepayment) and (after all Term Loans, Revolving Loans and
Swing Line Loans have been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations; provided, that to the extent no direction is given by Borrower with respect to the application of any such prepayments, such prepayments shall be applied first, to the
Swing Line Loans, second, to the Revolving Loans and, third, to the Term Loans. 
 Within the parameters of the applications set
forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05,
but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. 
 (vi) Prepayment Account. If the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of
making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in
the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing prior to the date or dates on which
it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of
any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced. 

(vii) Availability. Prepayments of the Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans made pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) shall not be deemed to permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. 
  

	2.06	Termination, Reduction or Increase of Commitments and Loans. 

 (a) Voluntary and Mandatory Reductions. 
 (i) The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments or (B) with respect to any Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction or termination, the Total Facility Outstandings would exceed the Borrowing Base, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 

(ii) The Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall automatically be reduced to zero ($0) upon the termination or expiration of
the Availability Period. 
 (b) Increases of Commitments or Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time,
upon prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (but not the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit) or increase the total original principal amount of Term Loans by a
maximum aggregate amount of up to FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($475,000,000) as follows: 

  
 41 

 (i) Increase in Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, at
any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (but not the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit) with additional Revolving
Commitments from any existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment or new Revolving Commitments from any other Eligible Assignee selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender;
provided that: 
 (A) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
 (B) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be
continuing at the time of any such increase. 
 (C) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase
its Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. 
 (D) (1) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and/or (2) any existing Lender electing to increase its Commitment
shall have executed a commitment agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (E) After
giving effect to such increase, the Administrative Agent shall reallocate any outstanding Revolving Loans among the Lenders to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Commitments arising from
any nonratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section. 
 (F) as a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date of such increase (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and
attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (2) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties
contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 (G) as a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to such increase, on a Pro
Forma Basis, (1) the Loan Parties would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.11 as of the first day of the four calendar quarter period ending as of the most recent calendar quarter end preceding the
date of such increase with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received the Required Financial Information and (2) the Total Facility Outstandings do not exceed the Borrowing Base. 

(H) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed revised to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and Applicable Percentages of
the applicable Lenders. 
 (I) The Borrower shall execute and provide new Notes to such Lenders as may request in
connection herewith. 
 (J) The Borrower shall pay all fees required in connection with such increase in the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ costs and fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in documenting or implementing such increase 

  
 42 

 (ii) Increase in Amount of Term Loans. The Borrower may, at any time,
upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, institute one or more additional term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided that 

(A) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. 
 (B) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of any such
increase. 
 (C) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to participate in any Incremental Term Loan and
any such decision whether to participate shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. 
 (D) (1)
any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and/or (2) any existing Lender electing to participate in an Incremental Term Loan shall have executed a commitment
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (E) following the advance of an Incremental
Term Loan, such amounts shall be deemed to be Term Loans and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as all other Term Loans. 
 (F) as a condition precedent to such Incremental Term Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date of such increase (in sufficient
copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Incremental Term Loan and (2) certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists. 

(G) as a condition precedent to such Incremental Term Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pro
Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan, on a Pro Forma Basis, (1) the Loan Parties would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.11 as of the
first day of the four calendar quarter period ending as of the most recent calendar quarter end preceding the date of such increase with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received the Required Financial Information and (2) the Total
Facility Outstandings do not exceed the Borrowing Base. 
 (H) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed revised to
reflect the amount of the Incremental Term Loan and the Applicable Percentages of the applicable Lenders. 
 (I)
The Borrower shall execute and provide new Notes to such Lenders as may request in connection herewith. 
 (J)
the Borrower shall pay all fees required in connection with such increase in the Term Loans and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ costs and fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in documenting or implementing such increase.

 (c) General. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination, reduction or
increase of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or any increase in the Term Loans. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each 

  
 43 

 
Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All Revolver Unused Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective
date of such termination. 
  

	2.07	Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans
outstanding on such date. 
 (b) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay
each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date fifteen (15) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date. 

 

	2.08	Interest. 

 (a)
Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Loan and each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. 
 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan ) payable by the Borrower under any Loan
Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default predicated on the failure of the Borrower to pay amounts due under the Loan Documents, as
addressed in subclauses (i) and (ii) above) exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
  

	2.09	Fees. 

 In addition
to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03: 
 (a) Revolver Unused Fees.
The Borrower shall, for each day during the term of this Agreement on which there exist any Revolving Commitments, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment (in accordance with such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof), an unused fee (the “Revolver Unused Fee”) equal to the Unused Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Revolver Outstandings (less the
amount of any outstanding Swing Line 

  
 44 

 
Loans) as of such date. The Revolver Unused Fee shall accrue at all times during the term of this Agreement on which there exist any Revolving Commitments, including at any time during which one
or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2011 (with such initial
payment to include such fees commencing from the Closing Date), and on the Maturity Date; provided, that (A) no Revolver Unused Fee shall accrue on the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender and (B) any Revolver Unused Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the
Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Revolver Unused Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, based on the applicable daily Unused Rates during each day of such quarter. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to MLPFS and the Administrative Agent, for their own respective accounts, fees in the
amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter (without duplication of fees otherwise referenced herein). Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

 

	2.10	Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustment of Applicable Margin. 

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate”
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or
interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or
such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or
fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, as a result of any restatement
of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Credit Facilities Implied DSCR, as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date, was inaccurate and (ii) a
proper calculation of the Credit Facilities Implied DSCR would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lenders, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code
of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such
period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period; provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall be required to make any demand pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) within six months of the first
date that the Administrative Agent had actual knowledge of any such inaccurate calculation. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under
Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.08(b) or under Article IX. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments of all of the Lenders and the repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder. 
  

	2.11	Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note which shall evidence such

  
 45 

 
Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit D-1 (a
“Revolving Note”), (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, be in the form of Exhibit D-2 (a “Term Note”) and (iii) in the case of the Swing Line Loans, be in the form of Exhibit D-3
(the “Swing Line Loan Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

 

	2.12	Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

 (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not
later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any
payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 (b) Fundings and Payments; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 

(i) Funding by Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date (or, with respect to a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to the proposed time) of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event,
if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the
case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made
by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

(ii) Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the 

  
 46 

 
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to
the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and to
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make
any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make
its Committed Loan, purchase its participation or make its payment pursuant to Section 11.04(c). 
 (e) Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner. 
  

	2.13	Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 

 If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it (excluding any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding Swing Line Loans and excluding any amounts received by the L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender to secure
the obligations of a Defaulting Lender to fund risk participations hereunder) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater
than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
 (ii) the provisions of this
Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply). 

  
 47 

 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 
  

	2.14	Cash Collateral. 

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has
honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower
shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 (b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to
deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all
other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash
Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that
the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to
the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. 
 (c)
Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.15 or 9.02 in respect of
Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied in satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any
interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided herein. 

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall
be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), (ii) the Administrative
Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral or (iii) repayment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), together with termination of
all Commitments hereunder; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided
in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.03) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not
be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 
  

	2.15	Defaulting Lenders. 

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

  
 48 

 (i) Waivers and Amendment. The Defaulting Lender’s right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01. 
 (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or
mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may
be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts
owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding
obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any final
and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that
Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to
the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. The Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to
Section 2.09(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and
(y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h). 
 (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed
without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default
exists; and (y) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that
non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender. 
 (b)
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date 

  
 49 

 
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase
that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determined to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; 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 having been a Defaulting Lender. 

ARTICLE III 

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  

	3.01	Taxes. 

 (a)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall
timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification
by the Borrower. 
 (i) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C
Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, 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. Each Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender
or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C
Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and
does hereby, indemnify each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against such Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure
by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to such Borrower or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender 

  
 50 

 
and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by,
or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under
the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate 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 the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

In addition, each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such documentation reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether payments to such Lender are subject to withholding tax under FATCA. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any
obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds

  
 51 

 
paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
  

	3.02	Illegality. 

 If
any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if
applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

 

	3.03	Inability to Determine Rates. 

 If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the
Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
  

	3.04	Increased Costs. 

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

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

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change 

  
 52 

 
the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or
any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the
L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

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

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs
incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or
the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof). 
  

	3.05	Compensation for Losses. 

 Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than
a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

  
 53 

 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c) any assignment or other termination of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 11.13 or in connection with Section 2.06(b); 
 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or
expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees
charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
  

	3.06	Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13. 

 

	3.07	Survival. 

 All of
the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 

ARTICLE IV 

GUARANTY 
  

	4.01	The Guaranty. 

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract
or Treasury Management Agreement with a Loan Party, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory 

  
 54 

 
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury
Management Agreements, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the
Debtor Relief Laws, any comparable provisions of any applicable state Law or any applicable corporate or other organizational Laws relating to the ability of an entity to approve and authorize or make Guarantees or Indebtedness (or the effectiveness
of any such approval or authorization or making) in excess of an amount that would render such entity insolvent or such other amount as may be established by such Law. 
  

	4.02	Obligations Unconditional. 

 The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of
the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations,
and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with
any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
 (b) any of the
acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the
Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements shall be done or omitted; 
 (c) the
maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between
any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 
 (d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or 

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of
any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor). 
 With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any
other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury 

  
 55 

 
Management Agreements, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations. 

 

	4.03	Reinstatement. 

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any
reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise,
and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law. 
  

	4.04	Certain Additional Waivers. 

 Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and
through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06. 
  

	4.05	Remedies. 

 The
Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided
in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically
due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations
hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof. 

 

	4.06	Rights of Contribution. 

 The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable
Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the
Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. 
  

	4.07	Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. 

 The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

 (b) If
any loss occurs at any time when any applicable Loan Party has failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 7.07 with respect to any insurance payable because of loss

  
 72 

 
sustained to any part of the Borrowing Base Properties or the Property related thereto, whether or not such insurance is required by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for any such Loan Party, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Administrative Agent. Upon any foreclosure hereof
or transfer of title to any Borrowing Base Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Obligations, all of the applicable Loan Party’s right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this
Agreement (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. Insurance proceeds from any loss with
respect to any Borrowing Base Property (or the Property related thereto) shall also be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Administrative Agent shall (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of,
all insurance for loss of or damage to the Borrowing Base Properties or the Property related thereto regardless of whether or not such insurance policies are required by Administrative Agent, and the expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in the
adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.04 hereof. Administrative Agent shall not be, under any circumstances,
liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to
any Loan Party. 
 (ii) To the extent any of the proceeds related to insurance coverage with respect to any of
the Borrowing Base Properties or the Property related thereto (the “BBP Insurance Proceeds”) are delivered to or otherwise obtained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and are (A) in the aggregate, in a gross amount in
excess of $50,000,000 (the applicable casualty constituting, in such case, a “Substantial Casualty”) or (B) the Borrower and Loan Parties do not intend to use such BBP Insurance Proceeds for the purpose of restoring or
rebuilding the applicable Borrowing Base Property or the Property related thereto, such proceeds shall be immediately delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held or applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.07(b).
Prior to any required delivery of BBP Insurance Proceeds by the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent, such BBP Insurance Proceeds shall be held in escrow by the applicable Loan Party(ies) for the account and benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties. 
 (iii) Any BBP Insurance Proceeds received by Administrative Agent (whether from the
applicable insurer or from a Loan Party pursuant to subclause (ii) above) shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent in the collection of the same, including attorneys’ fees, be
(A) held by the Administrative Agent in escrow in a cash collateral account subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), to the extent such BBP Insurance Proceeds
relate to a Substantial Casualty and the Borrower has elected to fully rebuild, reconstruct and restore the Property pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.07(b); (B) applied by the Administrative Agent to
the Obligations in the priority set forth in Section 2.05(b)(v), to the extent the Borrower has elected not to fully rebuild, reconstruct and restore the Property pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this
Section 7.07(b) (provided, that the Borrower will have a period of sixty (60) days following the delivery of such proceeds to the Administrative Agent in which to deliver written notice to the Administrative Agent stating whether it
intends to rebuild, reconstruct and restore the Property or cause such proceeds to be applied to the Obligations and the details of same and provided, further, that any failure to deliver any such notice shall evidence the Borrower’s election
to cause such proceeds to be applied to the Obligations in accordance with this subclause (iii)(B)); or (C) delivered to the Borrower or any Loan Party designated by the Borrower for the purpose of financing the rebuilding, reconstruction and
restoration of the applicable Property, to the extent such BBP Insurance Proceeds do not relate to a Substantial Casualty and the Borrower has elected to fully rebuild, reconstruct and restore the Property pursuant to and in accordance with the
terms of this Section 7.07(b); provided, that, if (1) the BBP Insurance Proceeds paid in connection with any given casualty event are in excess of the amount that is spent on the reconstruction, rebuilding or
restoration of the applicable Borrowing Base Property, (2) the Borrower requests in writing the return of such funds following the completion of such rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration and (3) there is no then-continuing Default or
Event of Default, the 

  
 73 

 
Administrative Agent shall return such excess funds to the Borrower. The Borrower and each Loan Party hereby assigns to, and grants Administrative Agent a security interest in, all BBP Insurance
Proceeds (prior to application thereof) and to any escrow account established pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.07(b) and in the funds held therein to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations. 

(iv) In the event that the Borrower elects to cause the full rebuilding, restoration and reconstruction of any Borrowing
Base Property or the Property related thereto following any casualty resulting in BBP Insurance Proceeds, the Borrower and Loan Parties shall (A) if such BBP Insurance Proceeds relate to a Substantial Casualty, (1) certify to the
Administrative Agent that, in its good faith judgment, such casualty event is covered by the insurance held by the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party; (2) deliver all information required by the applicable insurer for processing of the
applicable claim within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event (or, to the extent delivery within such time frame is not reasonably possible, as soon as reasonably practicable following such event); (3) upon receipt of the
applicable BBP Insurance Proceeds or, if earlier, upon receipt of the applicable insurer’s confirmation of the approved amounts thereof, deliver evidence to the Administrative Agent (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent) that there are sufficient funds from such BBP Insurance Proceeds (or prospective BBP Insurance Proceeds) and from cash and Cash Equivalents available to the applicable Loan Party, if needed, to completely restore or repair the
applicable Property to its use, value and condition immediately prior to the casualty as well as to maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants set forth herein; and (4) proceed to use commercially reasonable good faith efforts
to pursue and resolve such claim with the applicable insurer as expeditiously as is reasonably possible without compromising any material rights of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to such claim; (B) diligently commence to
(1) prepare (or cause to be prepared) all plans and specifications with respect to the full rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration of the applicable Property (to the extent necessary in connection with such rebuilding, reconstruction and/or
restoration), such plans and specifications to be, in the case of a Substantial Casualty, in all material respects acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and (2) enter into any necessary engineering, architects and
construction contracts required to fully complete such rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration on reasonable market-based terms and conditions; provided, that the Borrower shall, in the case of a Substantial Casualty, complete items
(1) and (2) of this subclause (iv)(B) within twelve (12) months following the applicable casualty event in a manner that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion and shall, within (6) months
following the applicable casualty, provide preliminary plans and specifications and a summary budget with respect to the applicable restoration; (C) in the case of any Substantial Casualty, deposit into the escrow account being maintained by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iii) above any amount of cash and Cash Equivalents (in addition to the BBP Insurance Proceeds held therein), which, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, is necessary and sufficient to
fund the full rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration of the applicable Property to its use, value and condition immediately prior to the casualty; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, at the expense of the Loan
Parties, to consult such professionals as Administrative Agent may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, to determine the total costs of restoring the applicable Property; (D) cause the applicable rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration to

Substantial Casualty, approved in advance by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and, in the case of a Substantial Casualty, by a general contractor who must be acceptable in all material respects to Administrative Agent, in its
reasonable discretion and who shall have, if required by the Administrative Agent, obtained (1) payment and performance bonds from a corporate surety reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and naming Administrative Agent as dual obligee
or (2) such other protections concerning performance of the applicable contractor as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (E) have otherwise complied with any of the terms, conditions or restrictions set forth
herein or in any Mortgage Instrument or other Loan Document with respect to the consummation of such rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration. If any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion
(subject to the direction of the Required Lenders), apply all BBP Insurance Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the priorities established pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(v). 

  
 74 

 (v) With respect to BBP Insurance Proceeds held by the Administrative Agent

BBP Insurance Proceeds to the Borrower or any Loan Party for the payment of invoices related to the rebuilding, reconstruction or restoration of the applicable Property (A) to the extent the Administrative Agent will not incur any liability to
any other person as a result of such use or release of such BBP Insurance Proceeds; (B) subject to such holdbacks and other terms, conditions and restrictions as may be in accordance with the construction lending practices of the Administrative
Agent and (C) to the extent no Default or Event of Default is then-continuing.

otherwise held in the escrow account related thereto until such Default is cured or waived by the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof; (2) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Administrative Agent may apply all BBP Insurance Proceeds and any other sums deposited with Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.07(b) to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the priorities

Section 7.07(b), the unpaid portion of the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. The Loan Parties shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance policies
required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board of underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Borrowing Base Properties or the Property related thereto.

Borrowing Base Property or the Property related thereto or arising out of damage to any Borrowing Base Property or the Property related thereto, and Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings.
Administrative Agent shall (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Proceeds related to any condemnation event with
respect to any Borrowing Base Property or the Property related thereto shall also be subject to the following terms and conditions:

Borrower’s election to cause such proceeds to be applied to the Obligations in accordance with this subclause (iii)(B)); or (C) delivered to the Borrower or any Loan Party designated by the Borrower for the purpose of financing the
rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration of the applicable Property, to the extent such BBP Condemnation Proceeds do not relate to a Substantial Condemnation and the Borrower has elected to fully rebuild, reconstruct and restore the Property
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.07(c); provided, that, if (1) the BBP Condemnation Proceeds paid in connection with any given condemnation event are in excess of the amount that is spent on the
reconstruction, rebuilding or restoration of the applicable Borrowing Base Property, (2) the Borrower requests in writing the return of such funds following the completion of such rebuilding, reconstruction and restoration and (3) there is

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

opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan

as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the

any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this

  
 93 

 
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  

	10.06	Resignation/Removal of Administrative Agent. 

 The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent may be removed at the written direction of
the Required Lenders to the extent the Administrative Agent is shown to be grossly negligent in the performance of its material obligations and/or duties hereunder or to have engaged in willful misconduct in the performance of such obligations
and/or duties; provided, that any such removal of an Administrative Agent shall also constitute its removal as L/C Issuer. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon any removal of the Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders,
the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. In the case of a
retiring Administrative Agent, if no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative
Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall
instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. In the case of the removal of an Administrative Agent by the
Required Lenders, such removal shall constitute the immediate termination of such Administrative Agent’s position hereunder and (1) the removed Administrative Agent shall be immediately discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the removed Administrative Agent shall continue to
hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or
to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Any resignation by or removal of an
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation or removal as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring or removed L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their
respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make
other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

  
 94 

	10.07	Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 

 Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
  

	10.08	No Other Duties, Etc. 

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. 

 

	10.09	Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 

 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (a)
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations (other than obligations under Swap Contracts and Treasury Management Agreements to which
the Administrative Agent is not a party) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04. 

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

  
 95 

	10.10	Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 

 The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (provided, that in the case of any transfer of a Borrowing Base Property, such transfer shall be accompanied by the prepayment (if any) of the Obligations required pursuant to Section 2.05(b)), or
(iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; 
 (b) to release, upon the written request of Borrower, any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if (i) such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder or (ii) such Person (or all of its assets) are otherwise sold, transferred or disposed of by the Borrower or another applicable Loan Party and, after giving effect to such sale, transfer or disposition, (A) Borrower, on
a Pro Forma Basis, is in compliance with all financial covenants contained herein (including, without limitation, the covenants set forth in Sections 8.02(f) and 8.11), (B) after giving effect thereto, the Total Facility
Outstandings do not exceed the Borrowing Base, (C) no Defaults or Events of Default exist as of the date of the requested release and (D) Borrower certifies in writing to the satisfaction of the above-noted conditions; and 

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to the holder of
any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 8.01(i) for Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8.03(g). 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or
items of Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.11.

Section 9.02) without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.02 or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the
Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender); provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to prevent the Required Lenders and Loan Parties from approving (i) any increase in
the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders hereunder (to the extent such increase does not increase the Commitment of any individual Lender without such Lender’s written consent); and/or (ii) the addition of one or more borrowing tranches to

 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest
specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the

 and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or

outstanding amounts owing to it extended, without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more
adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 Notwithstanding the fact that the
consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the

bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or

 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an
e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement),

Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly
given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as
understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, each other Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs,
expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the

Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Lenders any notices or other materials received by it indicating the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, in each case, to the extent such notices or materials are
clearly marked as a “Notice of Default/Event of Default” or Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that such notices or other materials contain such information. 
 (f) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS
OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related

arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
  

	11.03	No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 

 No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

  
 99 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be
instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender
from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any
Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights
otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender

	11.05	Payments Set Aside. 

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred,
and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 101

	11.06	Successors and Assigns. 

 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any
party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans)
at the time owing to it); provided, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 
 (A) in the case of an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitments are not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not
be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as
a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii)
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except
that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among the
Revolving Loan Commitments or outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis; 
 (iii) Required Consents.
No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 

  
 102

 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; 

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and 
 (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in
exposure under one or more Swing Line Loans (whether or not then outstanding). 
 (iv) Assignment and
Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment
shall be made to a natural 
 person. 

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and
11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection
(d) of this Section. 

  
 103

 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain
on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in any Assignment and Assumption (or in any amendment or modification hereof) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (h) Intentionally Omitted. 

  
 104

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

 

	11.07	Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 

 Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or
any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information. 
  

	11.08	Set-off. 

 If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall only be withheld for the purpose of preventing any triggering of any applicable “single action” laws), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and

  
 105

 
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the
L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may
be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff hereunder, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment,
shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a
statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and their respective Affiliates under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

 

	11.09	Interest Rate Limitation. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if
it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
  

	11.10	Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  

	11.11	Survival of Representations and Warranties. 

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

  
 106

	11.12	Severability. 

 If
any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be
affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 
  

	11.13	Replacement of Lenders. 

 If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b); 

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
  

	11.14	Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH 

  
 107

 
ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT
A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY
RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS
OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT
REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY
SUCH COURT. 
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER
PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 

 

	11.15	Waiver of Jury Trial. 

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

	11.16	USA PATRIOT Act Notice. 

 Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
  

	11.17	ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. 

  
 108

	11.18	Subordination of Intercompany Debt. 

 Each Loan Party agrees that all intercompany Indebtedness among Loan Parties (the “Intercompany Debt”) is subordinated in right of payment, to the prior payment in full of all
Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Loan Parties may make and receive payments with respect to the Intercompany Debt to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement; provided, that in the event of
and during the continuation of any Event of Default, no payment shall be made by or on behalf of any Loan Party on account of any Intercompany Debt. In the event that any Loan Party receives any payment of any Intercompany Debt at a time when such
payment is prohibited by this Section 11.18 hereof, such payment shall be held by such Loan Party, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the Administrative Agent.

  

	11.19	No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 

 In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and
each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and the other
Lead Arranger(s) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and the other Lead Arranger(s), on the other
hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of

Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any other Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the other Lead Arranger(s) and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any other Lead Arranger has any obligation to
disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may

 (a) Other Liens. Defend the Collateral against the claims and demands
of all other parties claiming an interest therein other than Permitted Liens. 
 (b) Instruments/Tangible
Chattel Paper/Documents. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, or if any property constituting Collateral shall be stored or shipped
subject to a Document in each case having a value in excess of $250,000, (i) ensure that such Instrument, Tangible Chattel Paper or Document is either in the possession of such Grantor at all times or, if requested by the Administrative Agent,

the effectiveness, perfection and priority of its security interests hereunder, including (A) such instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted

rights and interests hereunder. To that end, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing statements (which may describe the collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property”) disclosing the
Administrative Agent’s security interest in any or all of the Collateral of such Grantor without such Grantor’s signature thereon, and further each Grantor also hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent,
its nominee or any other Person whom the Administrative Agent may designate, as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact with full power and for the limited purpose to sign in the name of such Grantor any such financing statements (including renewal
statements), amendments and supplements, notices or any similar documents that in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion would be necessary, appropriate or convenient in order to perfect and maintain perfection of the security
interests granted hereunder, such power, being coupled with an interest, being and remaining irrevocable so long as the Secured Obligations remain unpaid and until the commitments relating thereto shall have been terminated. Each Grantor hereby
agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any such financing statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the Administrative Agent without notice thereof to such Grantor wherever the
Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion desire to file the same. In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the Collateral of any Grantor or any part thereof, or to any of the
Secured Obligations, such Grantor agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and to do all such other things as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion reasonably 

 
deems necessary, appropriate or convenient to preserve, protect and enforce the security interests of the Administrative Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction (and, if a Grantor shall
fail to do so promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may execute any and all such requested documents on behalf of such Grantor pursuant to the power of attorney granted hereinabove). If any Collateral
is in the possession or control of a Grantor’s agents and the Administrative Agent so requests, such Grantor agrees to notify such agents in writing of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein and, upon the Administrative
Agent’s request, instruct them to hold all such Collateral for the account of the holders of the Secured Obligations and subject to the Administrative Agent’s instructions. Each Grantor agrees to mark its books and records to reflect the
security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral.

(f) Treatment of Accounts. Not grant or extend the time for payment of any Account, or compromise or settle any
Account for less than the full amount thereof, or release any Person or property, in whole or in part, from payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon, other than as normal and customary in the ordinary course of a Grantor’s
business or as required by law. 
 (g) Covenants Relating to Copyrights. 

(i) Not do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Copyright owned by it and material to the business of such
Grantor may become invalidated and (A) not do any act, or knowingly omit to do any act, whereby any Copyright owned by it and material to the business of such Grantor may become injected into the public domain; (B) notify the
Administrative Agent promptly if it knows that any Copyright owned by it and material to the business of such Grantor may become injected into the public domain or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the
institution of, or any such determination or development in, any court or tribunal in the United States or any other country) regarding a Grantor’s ownership of any such Copyright or its validity; (C) take all necessary steps as it shall
deem appropriate under the circumstances, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) of each Copyright owned by a Grantor and material to the business of such Grantor and to maintain each registration of each
Copyright owned by a Grantor and material to the business of such Grantor including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal where necessary; and (D) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any material infringement of any
Copyright of a Grantor that is material to the business of such Grantor of which it becomes aware and take such actions as it shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Copyright, including, where appropriate, the
bringing of suit for infringement, seeking injunctive relief and seeking to recover any and all damages for such infringement. 
 (ii) Not make any assignment or agreement in conflict with the security interest in the Copyrights of each Grantor hereunder (other than in connection with a Permitted Lien or as otherwise provided in the
Credit Agreement).

(i) With respect to each material Trademark of such Grantor, (A) continue to use such Trademark on each and every
trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any valid claim of abandonment for non-use unless such Grantor
determines to abandon any Trademark in is reasonable business judgment, (B) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under any Trademark in use, (C) employ such Trademark with the appropriate notice of
registration, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (D) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby
any Trademark may become invalidated. 
 (ii) Not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent
may become abandoned or dedicated. 
 (iii) Notify the Administrative Agent immediately if it knows that any
application or registration relating to any material Patent or Trademark may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development
in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding a Grantor’s ownership of any material Patent or Trademark or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain the same.

 (iv) Take all commercially reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration
of its material Patents and Trademarks, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability. 
 (v) Promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns that any material Patent or Trademark included in the Collateral is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party and, to the extent
such infringement could have a material adverse effect on any business of Grantor or its Subsidiaries or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of such Patent or Trademark, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution,
to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or to take such other actions as it shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent
or Trademark.

Administrative Agent’s security interest in any Commercial Tort Claim. 
 7. Advances by Holders of the Secured
Obligations. On failure of any Grantor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures
made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures that the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the security hereof or that may be compelled to make by operation of law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall
be repayable by the 

 
Grantors on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 24 hereof) promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear
interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Grantor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Grantors of
any default under the terms of this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or
estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim
except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by a Grantor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP. 

8. Events of Default. The occurrence of an event which under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document would constitute an
Event of Default shall be an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”). 
 9. Remedies.

 (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the
Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by law (including, without
limitation, levy of attachment and garnishment), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral and, further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the
aid and assistance of others (to the extent permitted under applicable law), (i) subject to the rights of tenants in possession, enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the
Grantors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Grantors to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent at the expense of the Grantors any Collateral at any
place and time designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) except as
provided below in the case of notice required by law, without demand and without advertisement, notice or hearing, all of which each of the Grantors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any place and time or times, sell and
deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its
sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Each of the Grantors acknowledges that any private sale referenced above may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and terms that might have been
obtained at a public sale and agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Neither the Administrative Agent’s compliance with applicable law nor
its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. In addition to all other sums due the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations with
respect to the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall pay the Administrative Agent and each of the holders of the Secured Obligations all reasonable documented costs and expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such holder of
the Secured Obligations, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of the Secured Obligations, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or
proceeding by or against the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations or the Grantors concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Security Agreement, any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including, without
limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least ten Business Days before the time of sale or other event giving
rise to the requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, any holder of the Secured Obligations may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Grantors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale.
Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such
sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be made at the time and 

 
place to which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.

 (b) Remedies Relating to Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof,
whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Grantor will promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of
Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Grantor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its
designee may notify any Grantor’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Grantor have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or
in the name of a Grantor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become
due on any Account, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own convenience and that such Grantor shall
not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have no liability or responsibility to any Grantor for
acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any
remittance. Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable
attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations (each, an “Indemnified Party”) because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements except as relating to or arising
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or agents. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Grantor, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any other Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. 

(c) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the rights of tenants in possession, to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Grantors without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and use the same,
together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Grantors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In
addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral. 

(d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations to exercise any
right, remedy or option under this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations in
exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent
specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent, the holders of the
Secured Obligations, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their
gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that
the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations may have. 
 (e) Retention of Collateral. To the
extent permitted under applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and
9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Collateral in 

 
satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted or
retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason. 
 (f) Deficiency. In the event that
the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations are legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the
deficiency (subject to Section 24 hereof), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate for Base Rate Revolving Loans, together with the costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any surplus remaining after the full payment
and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Grantors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto. 
 10. Rights of the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Power of Attorney. In
addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Grantor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such
Grantor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: 

(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise and adjust, and give discharges and releases concerning the Collateral, all as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; 
 (ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any
court for the purposes of collecting any of the Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof; 

(iii) to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; 
 (iv) to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed
to a Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral on behalf of and in
the name of such Grantor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral; 
 (v) to pay or discharge taxes, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; 
 (vi) to
direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; 

(vii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any
time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; 
 (viii) to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in
respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services that have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

 (ix) to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto; 

(x) to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements,
security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this
Security Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein; 

 (xi) to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent
may reasonably deem appropriate; and 
 (xii) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate or convenient in connection with the Collateral. 
 This power of attorney
is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations shall remain outstanding (other than any such obligations which by the terms there of are stated to survive termination of the Loan Documents
and any contingent indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating thereto shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of
the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power
of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Grantors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be
relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Grantors. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in
its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it
being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant
to Section 8 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. 
 11. Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders. 

12. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of
the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any of the holders of the Secured Obligations in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order
set forth in the Credit Agreement or other document relating to the Secured Obligations, and each Grantor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records. 

13. Continuing Agreement. 
 (a) This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured Obligations remains outstanding (other than any such
obligations which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Loan Documents and any contingent indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating thereto have been terminated. Upon
such payment and termination, this Security Agreement and the liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the
Grantors, execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Grantors evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive
termination of this Security Agreement. 
 (b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be 

 
restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all
as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

 14. Amendments and Waivers. This Security Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified,
changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 15. Successors in
Interest. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that none of the Grantors may
assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the each Lender or the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement; provided, further, however, that Grantor shall have the right to transfer the Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights subject to the security interests created hereby to an intellectual property holding company upon (a) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and (b) the execution and delivery by such holding company of
any documents, instruments, agreements or other materials necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence or cause the uninterrupted continuation of a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to such Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby releases the Administrative Agent and each holder of the Secured
Obligations, their respective successors and assigns and their respective officers, attorneys, employees and agents, from any liability for any act or omission or any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law relating to this Security Agreement
or the Collateral, except for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such holder, or their respective officers, attorneys, employees or agents. 

16. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be given as provided in
Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 17. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than
one such counterpart. 
 18. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience
only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Security Agreement.

Severability. If any provision of this Security Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed
without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. 
 21. Entirety. This Security Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any
commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents, any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein. 

 22. Survival. All representations and warranties of the Grantors hereunder shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, the delivery of the Notes and the extension of credit thereunder or in connection therewith.

 23. Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other
than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real property and securities owned by a Grantor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other
property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or
remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured Obligations or any of the rights of the Administrative
Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Security Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations. 

24. Joint and Several Obligations of Grantors. 
 (a) Subject to subsection (c) of this Section 24, each of the Grantors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the
holders of the Secured Obligations, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Grantors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Grantors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

 (b) Subject to subsection (c) of this Section 24, each of the Grantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Grantors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations arising under this Security Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Secured Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Grantors without preferences or
distinction among them. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan
Documents or in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not
render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, any comparable provisions of any applicable state law or any applicable corporate or other organizational Laws relating to the ability of an entity to
approve and authorize Guarantees or Indebtedness (or the effectiveness of any such approval or authorization) in excess of an amount that would render such entity insolvent or such other amount as may be established by such Law. 

25. Costs and Expenses. At all times hereafter, the Grantors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations, (a) as required under Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement and (b) as necessary to protect the Collateral or to exercise any rights or remedies
under this Security Agreement or with respect to any Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder. 
 26. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) this Security Agreement represents an amendment and restatement of the Replaced Security Agreement,
(b) the liens and security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and created by the Replaced Security Agreement shall continue uninterrupted upon the effectiveness hereof and (c) nothing contained herein is intended to
represent a novation of any type with respect to the “Secured Obligations” as defined in the Replaced Security Agreement.

 RECITALS

 WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as
amended, modified, extended, renewed or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Gaylord Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders have agreed to make Loans upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; 

WHEREAS, the Pledgors, collectively, are the owners of all of the outstanding equity interests in the Guarantors; 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, either directly or indirectly, owns all of the outstanding interests in the Pledgors; 

WHEREAS, as a result of the Pledgors’ respective ownership in the Guarantors, and the Borrower’s ownership of the
Pledgors, the Pledgors expect to receive certain benefits as a result of the pledge, assignment and grant of security interest contemplated herein; and 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders to make their respective Loans under the Credit Agreement that the Pledgors
shall have executed and delivered this Pledge Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 1. Definitions. 
 (a) Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement 
 (b) The following terms which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof are used herein as so defined: Securities

 (c) As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

 2. Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and
performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, of the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor hereby pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured
Obligations, and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and a right to set off against, any and all right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to the
following, whether now owned or existing or owned, acquired, or arising hereafter (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”): 
 (a) Pledged Capital Stock. 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock owned by such Pledgor of each Person owning one or more Borrowing Base Properties (a list of such Persons and the Capital
Stock owned by the respective Pledgors therein is set forth on Schedule 2(a) attached hereto) together with the certificates (or other agreements or instruments), if any, representing such Capital Stock and all options and other rights,
contractual or otherwise, with respect thereto (collectively, together with the Capital Stock described in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) below, the “Pledged Capital Stock”), including, but not limited to, the following: 

(A) all shares, securities, partnership interests, membership interests or other equity interests representing a dividend
on any of the Pledged Capital Stock, or representing a distribution or return of capital upon or in respect of the Pledged Capital Stock, or resulting from a stock split, revision, reclassification or other exchange therefor, and any subscriptions,
warrants, rights or options issued to the holder of, or otherwise in respect of, the Pledged Capital Stock; and 

(B) without affecting the obligations of the Pledgors under any provision prohibiting such action hereunder or under the
Credit Agreement, in the event of any consolidation or merger involving the issuer of any Pledged Capital Stock and in which such issuer is not the surviving entity, the Capital Stock (in the applicable percentage specified in Section 2(a)
above) of the successor entity formed by or resulting from such consolidation or merger. 
 (b) Additional
Shares. 100% (or, if less, the full amount owned by such Pledgor) of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of any Person which hereafter directly or indirectly owns a Borrowing Base Property together with the certificates (or other agreements
or instruments), if any, representing such Capital Stock. 
 (c) Proceeds. All proceeds and products of
the foregoing, however and whenever acquired and in whatever form. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is
hereby specifically understood and agreed that each Pledgor may from time to time hereafter deliver additional shares of Capital Stock to the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Secured Obligations. Upon delivery to the
Administrative Agent, such additional Capital Stock shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Collateral and shall be subject to the terms of this Pledge Agreement whether or not Schedule 2(a) is amended to refer to such additional Capital
Stock. 
 3. Security for Secured Obligations. The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral constitutes
continuing collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations. 
 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral; Perfection of
Security Interest. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that: 
 (a) Delivery of Certificates. Each Pledgor
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) simultaneously with or prior to the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, all certificates representing the Pledged Capital Stock of such Pledgor and (ii) promptly upon the receipt
thereof by or on behalf of a Pledgor, all other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral of a Pledgor. Prior to delivery to the Administrative Agent, all such certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral of a
Pledgor shall be held in trust by such Pledgor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. All such certificates shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of
transfer or assignment in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a) attached hereto. 

 (b) Additional Securities. If such Pledgor shall receive by virtue of
its being, becoming or having been the owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i) certificate, including without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares or membership or equity interests, stock splits, spin-off or split-off, promissory notes or other instrument; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to,
substitution for, or an exchange for, any Pledged Collateral or otherwise; (iii) dividends payable in securities; or (iv) distributions of securities or other equity interests in connection with a partial or total liquidation, dissolution
or reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, such Pledgor shall receive such certificate, instrument, option, right or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor’s
other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received together with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock power duly executed in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit
4(a), to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations. 
 (c) Financing Statements. Each Pledgor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such UCC or other applicable financing statements as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in
order to perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor. 
 5.
Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than
any such obligations which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Loan Documents and any contingent indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable): 

(a) Authorization of Pledged Capital Stock. The Pledged Capital Stock is duly authorized and validly issued, is
fully paid and, with respect to any Pledged Capital Stock consisting of stock of a corporation, nonassessable and is not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person. All other shares of Capital Stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly
authorized and validly issued, fully paid and, with respect to any Pledged Capital Stock consisting of stock of a corporation, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person. 

(b) Title. Each Pledgor has good and indefeasible title to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and will at all
times be the legal and beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. There exists no “adverse claim” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC with respect to the Pledged
Capital Stock of such Pledgor. 
 (c) Exercising of Rights. The exercise by the Administrative Agent of
its rights and remedies hereunder will not violate any law or governmental regulation or any material contractual restriction binding on or affecting a Pledgor or any of its property. 

(d) Pledgor’s Authority. No authorization, approval or action by, and no notice or filing with any
Governmental Authority or with the issuer of any Pledged Capital Stock is required either (i) for the pledge made by a Pledgor or for the granting of the security interest by a Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or (ii) for the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligation of their rights and remedies hereunder (except as may be required by Laws affecting the offering and sale of securities). 

(e) Security Interest/Priority. This Pledge Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, in the Pledged Collateral. The taking possession by the Administrative Agent of the certificates, if any, representing the Pledged Capital Stock and all other
certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral will perfect and establish the first priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in all certificated Pledged Capital Stock and such certificates and instruments and, upon
the filing of UCC financing statements in the appropriate filing office in the location of each Pledgor’s state of formation, the Administrative Agent shall have a first priority perfected security interest in all uncertificated Pledged Capital
Stock consisting of 

 
partnership or limited liability company interests that do not constitute a security pursuant to Section 8-103(c) of the UCC. Except as set forth in this Section 5(e), no action is
necessary to perfect or otherwise protect such security interest. 
 (f) No Other Capital Stock. No
Pledgor owns any Capital Stock of any Person which directly or indirectly owns a Borrowing Base Property other than as set forth on Schedule 2(a) attached hereto. 

(g) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interests. Except as previously disclosed to the Administrative
Agent, none of the Pledged Capital Stock consisting of partnership or limited liability company interests (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a
security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a Securities Account or (v) constitutes a “security” or a “financial asset” as such terms are defined in Article 8
of the UCC. 
 6. Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby covenants, that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain
outstanding (other than any such obligations which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Loan Documents and any contingent indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating
thereto have been terminated, such Pledgor shall: 
 (a) Books and Records. Mark its books and records
(and shall cause the issuer of the Pledged Capital Stock of such Pledgor to mark its books and records) to reflect the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations, pursuant to this
Pledge Agreement. 
 (b) Defense of Title. Warrant and defend title to and ownership of the Pledged
Collateral of such Pledgor at its own expense against the claims and demands of all other parties claiming an interest therein, keep the Pledged Collateral free from all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and not sell, exchange, transfer, assign,
lease or otherwise dispose of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any interest therein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(c) Further Assurances. Promptly execute and deliver at its expense all further instruments and documents and take
all further action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor (including, without limitation, the execution and filing
of UCC financing statements and any and all action necessary to satisfy the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has obtained a first priority perfected security interest in all Pledged Collateral); (ii) enable the Administrative
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor; and (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation and if requested by the
Administrative Agent, delivering to the Administrative Agent irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor. 
 (d) Amendments; Modifications; Changes in Corporate Status. Not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or
enter into any agreement or allow to exist any restriction with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor other than pursuant hereto or as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement and not cause or permit without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent any change in the organizational documents, name or corporate status or jurisdiction of organization of such Pledgor that could reasonably be expected to, in any manner, cause any security interest granted herein
or any filing made in connection herewith to lapse, terminate or otherwise become ineffective (whether immediately or as a result of the passage of time) with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral. 

(e) Compliance with Securities Laws. File all reports and other information now or hereafter required to be filed
by such Pledgor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other state, federal or foreign agency in connection with the ownership of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor. 

 7. Performance of Obligations and Advances by Administrative Agent or Lenders. On
failure of any Pledgor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform or cause to be performed the same and in so doing may expend such sums as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien,
expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of law. All such sums and amounts so
expended shall be repayable by the Pledgors on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 25 hereof) promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the
date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate specified in the Credit Agreement for Loans that are Base Rate Revolving Loans. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Pledgor, and no such
advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgors of any default under the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent may make any payment
hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of
any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by a Pledgor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with
GAAP. 
 8. Events of Default. The occurrence of an event which under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document
would constitute an Event of Default shall be an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”). 
 9.
Remedies. 
 (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have, in respect of the Pledged Collateral of any Pledgor, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other
documents relating to the Secured Obligations or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. 
 (b) Sale of Pledged Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, without limiting the generality of this Section and without notice, the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at
such price or prices and on such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, any holder of the
Secured Obligations may in such event bid for the purchase of such securities. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and has not been waived by such Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met
if notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed postage prepaid to such Pledgor in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the
Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 

(c) Private Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Pledgors
recognize that the Administrative Agent may be unable or deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and that the Administrative Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any
such Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing,

 
agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to register such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 or under applicable state securities laws. Each Pledgor further
acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such Pledged Collateral which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to
the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding
that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such Pledged Collateral. 

(d) Retention of Pledged Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC (or any successor sections of the UCC) or otherwise complying with the requirements of
applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason. 
 (e) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations
are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable (subject to Section 25 hereof) for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate specified in the Credit Agreement for Loans that are Base Rate
Revolving Loans and together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured
Obligations shall be returned to the Pledgors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto. 
 10. Rights of the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Power of
Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or agents as
attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and give discharges and releases concerning the Pledged Collateral of
such Pledgor, all as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine; 
 (ii) to commence and prosecute any
actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and enforcing any other right in respect thereof; 
 (iii) to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably
appropriate; 
 (iv) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or
placed on or threatened against the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor; 
 (v) to direct any parties liable for
any payment under any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; 

 (vi) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and
other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor; 
 (vii) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor; 

(viii) to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing
statements, pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Pledge
Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein; 
 (ix) to exchange any
of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Collateral of such
Pledgor with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Administrative Agent may determine; 
 (x) to vote for a shareholder or member resolution, or to sign an instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor into the name of the
Administrative Agent or one or more of the holders of the Secured Obligations or into the name of any transferee to whom the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 9 hereof; and 

(xi) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary,
proper or convenient in connection with the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor. 
 This power of attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than any such obligations which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Loan Documents and any contingent
indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable) and until all of the commitments relating thereto shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers,
privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Pledge Agreement and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or
omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is
conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Pledged Collateral. 
 (b) Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations and any portion thereof and/or the Pledged Collateral and any portion
thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to ensure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that each of the Pledgors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Pledged Collateral of such
Pledgor, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for such Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to such Pledgor. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the
treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Administrative 

 
Agent shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged
Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 

(d) Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral. 

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor
may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and 

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of a Pledgor to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection (d) shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then
have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. 
 (e) Dividend and Distribution
Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral. 
 (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and subject to Section 4(b) hereof, each Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting Pledged Collateral which are addressed hereinabove), distributions or
interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent they are allowed under the Credit Agreement. 

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(A) all rights of a Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection (e) shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged
Collateral such dividends, distributions and interest payments; and 
 (B) all dividends, distributions and
interest payments which are received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (A) of this Section shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such
Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

 (f) Release of Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Collateral
from this Pledge Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Collateral for other Pledged Collateral without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge Agreement as to any
Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this Pledge Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted. 

11. Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent,
may be exercised by the Required Lenders. 
 12. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of any Pledged Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any of the holders of the Secured Obligations in cash or its equivalent, will be
applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, and each Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and

 
agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion,
notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records. 
 13. Costs and Expenses. At all times
hereafter, the Pledgors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations, (a) as required under Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement
and (b) as necessary to protect the Pledged Collateral or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement or with respect to any Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations
hereunder. 
 14. Continuing Agreement. 

(a) This Pledge Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so
long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than any such obligations which by the terms thereof are stated to survive termination of the Loan Documents and any contingent indemnity obligations that are not yet due and payable)
and until all of the commitments relating thereto have been terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this Pledge Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall, upon
the request and at the expense of the Pledgors, (i) return all certificates representing the Pledged Capital Stock, all other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral and all instruments of transfer or assignment which have
been delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and (ii) forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents
reasonably requested by the Pledgors evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Pledge Agreement. 

(b) This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and
expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part
of the Secured Obligations. 
 15. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications. This Pledge Agreement and the provisions hereof
may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 16. Successors in Interest. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns and shall
inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations and their successors and permitted
assigns; provided, however, that none of the Pledgors may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender or the Required Lenders, as required by the Credit Agreement. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby releases the Administrative Agent and each holder of the Secured Obligations, and its successors and assigns, from any liability for any act or omission relating to this Pledge Agreement or the Pledged
Collateral, except for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, or such holder, or its officers, employees or agents. 
 17. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Pledge Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

18. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which where so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same 

 
instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Pledge Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 

19. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way
affect the meaning, construction or interpretation of any provision of this Pledge Agreement. 
 20. Governing Law;
Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The terms of Sections 11.14 and 11.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission to jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated
herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms. 
 21. Severability. If any
provision of this Pledge Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. 
 22. Entirety. This Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
other documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence
relating to the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or the transactions contemplated herein and therein. 
 23. Survival.
All representations and warranties of the Pledgors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, the delivery of the Notes, the making
of the Loans. 
 24. Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by
property other than the Pledged Collateral (including, without limitation, real and other personal property owned by a Pledgor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or
remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the
Secured Obligations under this Pledge Agreement, under any other of the Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations. 
 25. Joint and Several Obligations of Pledgors. 
 (a) Each of
the Pledgors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the holders of the Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of
each of the Pledgors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Pledgors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them. 
 (b) Each of the Pledgors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Pledgors with
respect to the obligations arising under this Pledge Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the obligations hereunder shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Pledgors without preferences or distinction
among them. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents, or other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would render such obligations subject to avoidance under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, any comparable provisions of any applicable state law or any applicable corporate or other organizational Laws relating to the ability of an entity to approve and authorize Guarantees or Indebtedness
(or the effectiveness of any such approval or 

 
authorization) in excess of an amount that would render such entity insolvent or such other amount as may be established by such Law. 

26. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) this Pledge Agreement represents an
amendment and restatement of the Replaced Pledge Agreement, (b) the liens and security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and created by the Replaced Pledge Agreement shall continue uninterrupted upon the effectiveness
hereof and (c) nothing contained herein is intended to represent a novation of any type with respect to the “Secured Obligations” as defined in the Replaced Pledge Agreement. 

 Each of the parties hereto has caused a counterpart of this Pledge Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

                                        ,
