whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective
until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, for purposes of calculations made pursuant to the terms of this

effect on the date of such determination; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining compliance with Article IX with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, Disposition, Restricted Payment or payment
under Section 9.7 in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred or
Disposition, Restricted Payment or payment under Section 9.7 is made, (ii) for purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other
Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such
Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinanced Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt,
the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.8 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred or Disposition, Restricted Payment or payment under Section
9.7 may be made at any time under such Sections. 
 (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Term Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or

 ARTICLE II 

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS 

2.1 Classes of Loans. 

(a) Term Loan Supplement. The Term Loan Supplement for a Class of Loans shall be in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit

or different representations, warranties, covenants and other terms (including any modification or deletion of the representations, warranties, covenants and other terms of this Agreement with respect to such Class of Loans to make such

(vi) the requirements to amend or waive any provision of such Term Loan Supplement; and 

(vii) the order of application of Foreclosure Proceeds, so long as the order of application in any new Term Loan Supplement is permitted by,

 41 

 (b) Conditions to Effectiveness of New Class. As a condition precedent to a new Class
of Loans, each Lender signatory to the applicable Term Loan Supplement shall be an Institutional Lender, as determined to the satisfaction of the Borrower in its sole, absolute and unfettered discretion. 

(c) Class Maturity Date of New Class of Loans. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 2.1(b), from time to time the
Borrower may enter into a Term Loan Supplement to permit the creation of a Class of Loan that provides for Foreclosure Proceeds to be paid to Lenders of such new Class concurrently with or after the Lenders of any existing Class of Loans (including
any existing Class of Loans which is to be repaid with the proceeds of such new Class of Loans) only if (1) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such new Class of Loans is not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of
such existing Class(es) of Loans at the Closing Date for such new Class of Loans and (2) the Class Maturity Date of such new Class of Loans is not earlier than the Class Maturity Date of such existing Class of Loans (or, if there is more than one
such existing Class of Loans, the last of the Class Maturity Dates for such Classes of Loans).
 (d) Each of the parties hereto hereby
agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to a Term Loan Supplement, without the consent of any other Lenders, (i) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the
Class of Loans (including any Replacement Loans) incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Term Agent and the
Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.1, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Term Agent to enter into any such Term Loan Supplement; provided that no such Supplement shall establish any Class of Loans or effect any
other amendment prohibited by this Agreement or any Term Loan Supplement governing Term Loans of any other Class that remain outstanding. This Section 2.1 shall control Section 12.1 and any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary.
 2.2 Disbursement of Funds.

 42 

 2.3 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Term Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders for a Class of Loans, on the maturity
date for such Class, the then-outstanding principal amount of all Loans comprising such Class. 
 (b) The Term Agent, on behalf of the
Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 12.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the Class and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower hereunder, (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Term Agent hereunder from the Borrower and (iv) in each such subaccount, each Lender’s
share of each of the foregoing. 
 (c) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses
(b) and (c) of this Section 2.3 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Term Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable
interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 2.4 Pro Rata
Borrowings. Each Borrowing of a Class of Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders of such Class pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Commitment Percentages. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other
Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.

2.5 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) Any commitment fees or ticking
fees provided for in the applicable Term Loan Supplement shall cease to accrue on any unfunded portion of the Class Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. 

(b) The Commitment and the Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to
Section 12.1 (other than Section 12.1(b)(D)), shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (which for the avoidance of doubt would include any change to the maturity date(s) of any Class of Loans for which applicable to
such Defaulting Lender is a Lender, decreasing or forgiving any principal or interest due to such Defaulting Lender, any decrease of any interest rate applicable to Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (other than the waiving of post-default
interest rates) and any increase in such Defaulting Lender’s Class Commitment). 

  
 43 

 (c) If, in its discretion, the Borrower gives written notice to the Term Agent that a Lender that
is a Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Term Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent
applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the applicable Class(es) of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Term Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in
accordance with the Class Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of
any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (d) Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Term Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise), shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any
amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Term Agent hereunder; second, 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; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a
result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.5(d). 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 shall be
deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 ARTICLE III 

FEES; COMMITMENTS 
 3.1

Loans. 

  
 44 

 ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENTS 
 4.1 Mandatory
Prepayments. 
 (a) Prepayment of Loans Following a Disposition. 

(i) Within 365 days after receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from a Collateral Sale or Casualty Event, the Borrower shall use the Net Cash Proceeds
received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries of such Collateral Sale or Casualty Event at its option: 
 (A) to
acquire assets constituting Proved Reserves; 
 (B) to fund drilling and completion capital expenditures and activities,
related costs and related general and administrative expenses (other than capitalized interest) undertaken with a view to adding to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, all as reasonably determined by the Borrower; or 

(C) any combination of the foregoing; 

provided that a binding commitment to acquire Proved Reserves (or a Person engaged in the Oil and Gas Business owning Proved Reserves) entered into
within 365 days of the consummation of the Collateral Sale or Casualty Event that generated the Net Cash Proceeds shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 545 days after the consummation of the Collateral Sale or Casualty Event that generated
such Net Cash Proceeds and, in the event such commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Collateral Proceeds as
described below as of the date of such cancellation or termination.
 (ii) Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Collateral Sale or Casualty Event
that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.1(a)(i) will constitute “Excess Collateral Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds exceeds $60,000,000, the Borrower will, within 45 days,
make an offer to all Lenders, and, if required by the terms of other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Facility containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 4.1(a) with
respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to all holders of such other similar Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Facility (a “Collateral Sale
Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Loans and/or such Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds; provided, however, that, notwithstanding that a Collateral Sale Offer may be made
to all Lenders and holders of other Indebtedness secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Facility, (1) to the extent required by the Collateral Trust Agreement, Excess Collateral Proceeds shall, or may, as applicable, be
applied first to prepay the obligations under (x) the Revolving Credit Agreement and (y) any Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness permitted hereunder with priority in the payment of Foreclosure Proceeds over all Loans, with any remaining
Excess Collateral Proceeds 

  
 45 

 
being applied as provided in this Section 4.1(a) and (2) any remaining Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be applied to prepay Loans in the order of their priority in the payment of
Foreclosure Proceeds. The offer price in any Collateral Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. 

(iii) The Borrower shall commence a Collateral Sale Offer by mailing (with notice to the Term Agent), or the Term Agent at the
Borrower’s request and expense, mailing or causing to be mailed (or otherwise communicating in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Term Agent) to all Lenders (and, if applicable, holders of any Permitted Pari Passu Secured
Indebtedness), a notice prepared by the Borrower of the Collateral Sale Offer and of the Lenders’ rights arising as a result thereof. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable Lenders to elect to have a portion
of their Loans prepaid. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Collateral Sale Offer, shall state:
 (A) that the
Collateral Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a); 
 (B) the aggregate amount of prepayments being
offered to be made on the Loans and the payment date; 
 (C) that any Loans not prepaid will continue to accrue interest at
the stated rate(s); 
 (D) that any Loans prepaid pursuant to the Collateral Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on
the payment date; and
 (E) that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to have a portion of their Loans
prepaid if the Borrower or Term Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Collateral Sale Offer, or such longer period as may be required by law, a notice to such effect in the form specified in the Collateral Sale
Offer.
 The Collateral Sale Offer shall be deemed to have commenced upon mailing (or other communication in accordance with the applicable procedures of
the Term Agent) of the notice and shall terminate 20 Business Days after its commencement, unless a longer offering period is required by law. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans and other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a
pari passu basis with the Facility tendered into such Collateral Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Excess Collateral Proceeds will be allocated as provided in Section 4.1(a)(ii) and, as among the Loans
and other Indebtedness of a given priority in respect of Foreclosure Proceeds, based on the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Loans and other Indebtedness of such priority elected to be prepaid. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Collateral Proceeds that are not used to optionally prepay, repurchase or redeem or otherwise defease any Junior Debt. Upon completion of each Collateral Sale Offer, the amount of
Excess Collateral Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

  
 46 

 (iv) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this Section
4.1(a), the holder of such Net Cash Proceeds may apply such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce obligations under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement. If any
Excess Collateral Proceeds remain after consummation of the Collateral Sale Offer, the Borrower may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and they will no longer constitute Excess Collateral Proceeds. 

(b) Prepayment Following a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower (or a third party, on the
Borrower’s behalf) will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Lender to prepay all or any part of that Lender’s Loans at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the
principal amount of such Loans prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Loans prepaid to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Prepayment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower
will deliver a notice to the Term Agent describing briefly the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating: 

(i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section and that all Loans or portions thereof may be prepaid if
requested by any Lender; 
 (ii) the Change of Control Prepayment and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no
later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”);
 (iii) that any Loan not
prepaid will remain outstanding; 
 (iv) that, unless the Borrower defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Prepayment, all Loans
accepted for prepayment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Purchase Date; 

(v) that Lenders electing to have any Loans prepaid pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to deliver notice to the Term
Agent and the Borrower prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Purchase Date; and 
 (vi) that Lenders will be entitled to
withdraw their election if the Term Agent and Borrower receives, not later than the close of business on the Change of Control Purchase Date, a notice that such Lender is withdrawing his election to have the Loans prepaid. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the
consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. 

(c) Prepayment Following Issuance of Certain Indebtedness. Upon the incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Borrower and/or its
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted hereunder), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal of Loans equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower and/or Restricted Subsidiaries from such incurrence of
Indebtedness; provided that to the extent required by the Collateral Trust 

  
 47 

 
Agreement, such Net Cash Proceeds shall, or may, as applicable, be applied first to prepay or offer to prepay the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, with any remaining Net Cash
Proceeds being applied as provided in this Section 4.1(c). Such prepayments shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Total Exposure Percentage. 

4.2 Method and Place of Payment. 

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower without set-off,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Term Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Term
Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Term Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower; it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Term Agent to make a payment from the funds in the
Borrower’s account at the Term Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise)
hereunder and all other payments under each Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. The Term Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Term Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. or, if payment
was not actually so received by the Term Agent by such time, on the next Business Day in the sole discretion of the Term Agent), like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto. 

(b) For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. in respect of Loans shall
be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. 

4.3 Net Payments. 
 (a)
Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor or the Term Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower or such Guarantor or the Term Agent shall
make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Term Agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Term Agent, as applicable, shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 4.3), the Term Agent or 

  
 48 

 
any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made.
Whenever any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower or Guarantor shall send to the Term Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the
case may be, a certified copy of an official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof. After any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.3, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Term Agent a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such
payment or other evidence of such payment.
 (b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, or at the option of the Term Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c) The Borrower and the
Guarantors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Term Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Term Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.3), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered (together with
sufficient supporting information to substantiate such payment or liability) to the Borrower by a Lender or the Term Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Term Agent, at such time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Term Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Term Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A)
whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable
jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Term Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Term Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Term Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than the documentation set forth in Section 4.3(e), (h) and (i)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

  
 49 

 (e) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3(d), any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Term Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Term Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Term Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to
payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or 

(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect
partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

(v) two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete, inaccurate or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by
the Borrower and the Term Agent; 
 unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so advises the Borrower and the Term Agent. Each
Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 12.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 12.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this
Section 4.3(e); provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. 

  
 50 

 (f) If any Lender or the Term Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it
had received and retained a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender
or the Term Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, then such Lender or the Term Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount (net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Term Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as such Lender or the Term Agent, as the
case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in
if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of such Lender or the Term Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or the Term Agent in the event such Lender or the Term Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender or the Term
Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority
(provided that such Lender or the Term Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). Each Lender and the Term Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole
discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither the Term Agent nor any Lender shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any
Credit Party in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 4.3. For purposes of this clause (f), the term “refund” shall include the monetary benefit of a credit received in lieu of a
refund. 
 (g) If the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, each Lender or the
Term Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such tax. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and the Term Agent harmless against
any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.3(g). Nothing in this Section 4.3(g) shall obligate any Lender or the Term Agent to take any action
that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person. 
 (h) The Term Agent and each Lender
that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Term Agent two IRS Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed,
certifying that such Person is exempt from United States federal backup withholding (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
obsolete, inaccurate or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in Person’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Term Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Term Agent. 

  
 51 

 (i) If a payment made to any Lender or the Term Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Term Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Term Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Term Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Term Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA, to determine that such Person has or has not complied with such Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.3(i),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (j) For the avoidance of doubt, for
purposes of this Section 4.3, the term “Lender” includes all Lenders for each Class of Loans. 
 (k) The agreements in this
Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

4.4 Limit on Rate of Interest. 

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect to any of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable Requirement of Law. 

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make,
as a result of Section 4.4(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable Requirement of Law. 

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would
obligate the Borrower or any other Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such
provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment to be
effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under any provision in a Term Loan Supplement governing the interest rate(s) applicable to the applicable Class
of Loans. 
 (d) Rebate of Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments
contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Term Agent to obtain
reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

 7.2 Corporate Power and
Authority; Enforceability. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each
such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law). 

7.3 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a
party or the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will (a) contravene any material applicable provision of any material Requirement of Law, (b) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Liens created under the
Credit Documents) pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of
its property or assets is bound (any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”) except to the extent such breach, default or Lien that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect or (c) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

7.4 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.4, as of the Initial Closing Date, or as disclosed in the Term Loan
Supplement for a Class of Loans, as of the Closing Date for such Class, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, threatened with respect to the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 56 

 7.5 Margin Regulations. The proceeds of the Loans will not be used by the Borrower or
any of the Subsidiaries in violation of the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. The Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or
carrying margin stock.
 7.6 Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of each Credit Document do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (a) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) filings and recordings in respect of the Liens
created pursuant to the Security Documents, (c) any reports required to be filed by the Borrower with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, (d) those that may be required from time to time in the ordinary course of business that may be required to
comply with certain covenants contained in the Credit Documents and (e) such consents, approvals, registrations, filings or actions the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

7.7 Investment Company Act. No Credit Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. 
 7.8 True and Complete Disclosure. 

(a) None of the written factual information and written data (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower, any of the
Subsidiaries or any of their respective authorized representatives to the Term Agent on or before the Initial Closing Date, or to the Term Agent and/or the Lenders of a Class on or before the Closing Date of such Class (including all such
information and data contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein contained any untrue statement of any material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary
to make such information and data (taken as a whole) not materially misleading at such time (after giving effect to all supplements so furnished prior to such time) in light of the circumstances under which such information or data was furnished; it
being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 7.8(a), such factual information and data shall not include pro forma financial information, projections or estimates (including financial estimates, forecasts and other
forward-looking information) and information of a general economic or general industry nature. 
 (b) The projections (including financial
estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) contained in the information and data referred to in Section 7.8(a) were based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made; it
being recognized by the Term Agent and the Lenders that such projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and such
differences may be material. 

  
 57 

 7.9 Financial Condition; Financial Statements. 

(a) On the Initial Closing Date, the Historical Financial Statements present fairly in all material respects the combined consolidated
financial position of the Borrower and the combined consolidated Subsidiaries at the dates of such information and for the period covered thereby and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in
the notes thereto, if any, subject, in the case of the unaudited financial information, to changes resulting from audit, normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. 

(b) On the Initial Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any material Indebtedness (including Disqualified
Stock), off balance sheet liabilities, partnership liabilities for taxes or unusual forward or long-term commitments that, in each case, are not reflected or provided for in the Historical Financial Statements, except as would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 7.10 Tax Matters. Except where the failure of which would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid or
caused to be paid all material Taxes payable by it that have become due, other than those (i) not yet delinquent or (ii) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been provided to the extent
required by and in accordance with GAAP. 
 7.11 Compliance with ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan is in compliance with applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable laws except to the extent failure to comply would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 7.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 7.12 lists each Material Subsidiary of
the Borrower existing on the Initial Closing Date. Each Guarantor, Material Subsidiary and Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the Initial Closing Date has been so designated on Schedule 7.12.

or leased by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has treated, stored, transported, released or disposed or arranged for disposal or transport for disposal of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or
from any currently or formerly owned or leased Oil and Gas Properties or facility in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under any applicable Environmental Law. 

  
 58 

 7.14 Properties. Each Credit Party has good and defensible title to all of its material
properties and assets, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted under Section 9.2 and of all impediments to the use of such properties and assets in such Credit Party’s business, except that no
representation or warranty is made with respect to any oil, gas or mineral property or interest to which no Proved Reserves are properly attributed. Except for Liens permitted under Section 9.2, each Credit Party will
respectively own in the aggregate, in all material respects, the net interests in production attributable to all material wells and units owned by the Credit Party. The ownership of such properties shall not in the aggregate in any material respect
obligate such Credit Party to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of such properties in an amount materially in excess of the working interest of such properties. Each Credit Party has paid in all
material respects all royalties payable under the oil and gas leases to which it is operator, except those contested in accordance with the terms of the applicable joint operating agreement or otherwise contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or such other Credit Party, as the case may be.

Section 9.10.

with respect to any Contractual Requirement that would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
 7.18 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The
Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and its directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption
Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Authorized Officers of the Borrower, its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and
applicable Sanctions in all material respects and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in the Borrower being designated as a Sanctioned Person. None of (a) the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries
or, to the knowledge of the Authorized Officers of the Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Authorized Officers of the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that
will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the Facility, is a Sanctioned Person. No Loan, use of proceeds or other Transactions will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. 

  
 59 

 7.19 Pari Passu or Priority Status. Neither the Borrower nor any other
Credit Party has taken any action which would cause the claims of unsecured creditors of the Borrower or of any other Credit Party, as the case may be (other than claims of such unsecured creditors to the extent that they are statutorily preferred
or Permitted Liens), to have priority over the claims of the Term Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties against the Borrower and such other Credit Party under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

Guarantors and Unrestricted Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year or period, as the case may be, from the Restricted Subsidiaries, Material Subsidiaries, Guarantors and Unrestricted Subsidiaries, respectively, provided to the Lenders on the
Closing Date or the most recent fiscal year or period, as the case may be.

aggregate values attributed by the Borrower and its independent engineers to the respective portions of such Proved Reserves valued by them) and confirming that the Collateral subject as of the
Specified Date to perfected Liens securing the Obligations included Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties that accounted for not less than 80% (subject to the Collateral Sale Cure) of the PV-9 attributable to the Proved Reserves of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries at such date in accordance with Section 8.9(b) (each such certificate, accompanied by the letter described in clause (ii), a “Reserve Certificate”), and (ii) a letter from the
Borrower’s independent petroleum engineers confirming that the summary information included in such Authorized Officer’s certificate reflects the values attributed by the Borrower and its independent engineers to the portions of the Proved
Reserves valued by them. 
 (f) Notice of Default. Promptly after an Authorized Officer of the Borrower obtains actual knowledge
thereof, notice of the occurrence of any event that constitutes a Default or Event of Default, which notice shall specify the nature thereof, the period of existence thereof and what action the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto. 

(g) Mortgage Filing Status. If requested by any Lender during the 90 days after the Initial Closing Date, the Borrower shall
provide an update to the Term Agent for the benefit of such Lender as to the status of the filings of any Mortgages required pursuant to Section 8.9(a). Upon the completion of delivery of all documents, evidence and opinions required to
be delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8.9(a) with respect to properties owned on the Initial Closing Date, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Term Agent and the Term Agent shall make such
notice available to each of the Lenders in accordance with its customary practice. 
 The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledges that
the Term Agent will make information available to the Lenders by posting the information on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”). Each Lender agrees that any document or notice posted on the Platform by
the Term Agent shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Lenders. The Borrower and the Lenders further agree that, to the extent reasonably practicable, any document delivered to the Term Agent for purposes of compliance with any provision of
this Agreement or for dissemination to any other party hereto shall be delivered to the Term Agent in electronic form capable of being posted to the Platform. 

The Borrower and each Lender understands that the distribution of materials and other communications through an electronic medium is not
necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, and each agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of the Term Agent, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 The Platform
is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Term Agent, any other agent nor any of their respective Affiliates warrants the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on the Platform or the adequacy of the
Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the information contained on the Platform. 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 the Term Agent, any other agent or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the information
contained on the Platform.

 8.2 Books and Records. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted
Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account, in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and
matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
 8.3 Maintenance of
Insurance. 
 (a) The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, at all times maintain in full force and effect,
pursuant to self-insurance arrangements or with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) are financially sound and responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or
renewed, insurance in at least such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business)
and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business. 

(b) During any Collateral Requirement Period (and only during any Collateral Requirement Period), the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the
Term Loan Secured Parties, shall be an additional insured on any such liability insurance as its interests may appear and, if property insurance is obtained, the Collateral Trustee shall be an additional loss payee under any such property insurance;
provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Term Loan Secured Parties will provide any proceeds of such property insurance to the Borrower to the extent that the Borrower undertakes to apply such
proceeds to the reconstruction, replacement or repair of the property insured thereby. During any Collateral Requirement Period (and only during any Collateral Requirement Period), the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that all policies of insurance required by the terms of this Agreement or any Security Document shall provide that each insurer shall endeavor to give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Trustee of any cancellation
of such insurance (or at least 10 days’ prior written notice in the case of cancellation of such insurance due to non-payment of premiums). 

8.4 Payment of Taxes. The Borrower will pay and discharge, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to pay and
discharge, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all lawful material claims
in respect of any Taxes imposed, assessed or levied that, if unpaid, would reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any properties of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that neither the Borrower nor any
of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment
of management of the Borrower) with respect thereto to the extent required by, and in accordance with, GAAP or the failure to pay or discharge would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 63 

 8.5 Existence. The Borrower will do, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to do,
or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, corporate (or equivalent) rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction permitted under Sections 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5 or to the extent
permitted by each Term Loan Supplement in respect of each Class of Loans then outstanding under any covenant governing Dispositions or Investments contained therein. 

8.6 Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, Etc. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all
Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property, including all governmental approvals or authorizations required to conduct its business, and to maintain all such governmental approvals or authorizations in full force and effect, in each case
except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. 
 8.7 Maintenance of
Properties. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, except in each case where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: 

(a) operate its Oil and Gas Properties and other material properties or cause such Oil and Gas Properties and other material properties to be
operated in a careful and efficient manner in accordance with the practices of the industry and in compliance with all applicable Contractual Requirements and all applicable Requirements of Law, including applicable proration requirements and
applicable Environmental Laws, and all applicable Requirements of Law of every other Governmental Authority from time to time constituted to regulate the development and operation of its Oil and Gas Properties and the production and sale of
Hydrocarbons and other minerals therefrom; 
 (b) keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working
order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and preserve, maintain and keep in good repair, working order and efficiency (ordinary wear and tear excepted) all of its material Oil and Gas Properties and other material properties, including
all equipment, machinery and facilities; and 
 (c) to the extent a Credit Party is not the operator of any property, the Borrower shall use
reasonable efforts to cause the operator to comply with this Section 8.7. 
 8.8 Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) Unless designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the date hereof on Schedule 7.12 or thereafter in compliance with Section
8.8(b), any Person that is or becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be a Restricted Subsidiary. 

  
 64 

 (b) The Borrower may designate by written notification thereof to the Term Agent, any Subsidiary
of the Borrower, including a newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if immediately after giving effect to such designation, (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Unrestricted
Subsidiary will be in compliance with Section 8.8(d), (iii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 9.5, (iv) such Unrestricted Subsidiary is not a “restricted subsidiary” under, or guarantor of, the Revolving Credit
Agreement, the Indentures or any other Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(r) or Section 9.1(u) and (v) during any Collateral Requirement Period, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of an
Authorized Officer to the effect that after giving effect to such designation, the Collateral subject to perfected Liens securing the Obligations includes Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties that accounted for not less than 80% of the PV-9
attributable to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as reflected in the most recent Reserve Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(e) after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions,
Dispositions and production since the Specified Date of such Reserve Certificate. 
 (c) The Borrower may designate an Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if immediately after giving effect to such designation, (i) the representations and warranties of each Credit Party contained in each of the Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of such date of the designation (or, if stated to have been made expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and (ii) no Event of Default would be continuing. 

(d) No Unrestricted Subsidiary will be the owner or holder of Stock of any Group Member. 

8.9 Guarantors, Grantors and Collateral. 

(a) (i) Within 90 days of the Initial Closing Date, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Guarantors to, (1) execute and deliver to the
Collateral Trustee, as mortgagee or beneficiary, as applicable, such Mortgages or amendments to Mortgages, together with satisfactory evidence of the completion (or satisfactory arrangements for the completion, which will include delivery of
recordable originals of such Mortgages in the proper recorders’ offices or appropriate public records and payment of any taxes or fees in connection therewith) of all recordings and filings of such Mortgages or amendments to Mortgages as may be
necessary to create a valid, perfected first-priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement), against the Oil and Gas Properties and related assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors that
are subject to Liens securing obligations owing to the Revolving Secured Parties on the Initial Closing Date and (2) as of the date that each such Mortgage is so executed and delivered, cause its counsel for the jurisdiction in which the relevant
Oil and Gas Properties and related assets are located to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a favorable opinion of counsel with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee. In addition,
from and after the Initial Closing Date, if the Borrower or any Guarantor acquires any property or asset that constitutes collateral for obligations owing to the Revolving Secured Parties (or the holders of any other Indebtedness permitted under
Section 9.1(a), (r) or (u)), and the Revolving Credit Agreement (or the agreement or instrument governing such other Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.1(a), (r) or

  
 65 

 
(u)) requires any supplemental security document for such collateral or other actions to achieve a perfected Lien on such collateral, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable
Guarantors to, promptly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee appropriate Security Documents (or amendments thereto) in such form as shall be necessary in the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable
discretion to grant the Collateral Trustee a perfected first-priority Lien on such Collateral or take such other actions in favor of the Collateral Trustee as shall be reasonably necessary to grant a valid and enforceable perfected first-priority
Lien on such Collateral to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral will not include any Excluded Property unless any such property constitutes collateral for the obligations owing to the Revolving Secured Parties or other Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.1(a),
(r) or (u).
 (b) During any Collateral Requirement Period, (i) the Borrower will cause to be executed and delivered for
recording additional Mortgages or supplements or amendments to existing Mortgages as may be necessary in order to maintain Collateral subject to perfected Liens securing the Obligations that includes Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties that
account for not less than 80% of the PV-9 attributable to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and will internally confirm compliance with such requirement as of the last day of each calendar quarter (using the last day of the
prior calendar quarter as the Reserve Date), and (ii) as of the date of any Collateral Sale permitted under Section 9.4, release of Collateral pursuant to Section 12.16(a)(ii) or (iii) or designation of a Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 8.8, the Borrower will cause the Collateral subject to perfected Liens securing the Obligations to include Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties that represent, as of such date and after
giving effect to such Collateral Sale, release or designation, not less than 80% of the PV-9 attributable to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as reflected in the most recent Reserve Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 8.1(e) or, if the Borrower has determined the PV-9 attributable to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (an “Interim PV-9 Determination”) as of a more recent Reserve Date, in each case after giving
effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, Dispositions and production since the Specified Date of such Reserve Certificate or, if applicable, the Reserve Date used for such Interim PV-9 Determination; provided that, in
the case of a Collateral Sale permitted under Section 9.4, the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with its obligations under this Section 8.9(b) so long as (i) as of the date of such Collateral Sale and as of the first
day of any calendar quarter that is within 60 days after the date of such Collateral Sale, the Collateral subject to perfected Liens securing the Obligations includes Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties that represent, as of such dates and
after giving effect to such Collateral Sale, not less than 70% of the PV-9 attributable to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as reflected in the most recent Reserve Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or
Interim PV-9 Determination, as appropriate, after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, Dispositions and production since the Specified Date of such Reserve Certificate or, if applicable, the Reserve Date used for
such Interim PV-9 Determination, and (ii) within 60 days after the date of such Collateral Sale, additional Mortgages or supplements or amendments to existing Mortgages shall be delivered for recording such that the Collateral subject to perfected
Liens securing the Obligations includes Oil and Gas Properties of the Credit Parties that account for not less than 80% of the PV-9 

  
 66 

 
attributable to the Proved Reserves of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as reflected in the most recent Reserve Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or the Interim PV-9
Determination, as appropriate, after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, Dispositions and production since the Specified Date of such Reserve Certificate or, if applicable, the Reserve Date used for such Interim
PV-9 Determination. 
 (c) Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Credit Documents, the Borrower will cause (i) any direct
or indirect Material Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) formed or otherwise purchased or acquired after the Initial Closing Date, (ii) any direct or indirect Material Subsidiary of the Borrower that ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary,
in each case that guarantees obligations owing to the Revolving Secured Parties or other Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.1(a), (r) or (u), to execute a supplement to the Guarantee and a supplement to the Security
Agreement and become a Guarantor and Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement) within 60 days from the date of such formation, acquisition or cessation, as applicable, and (iii) its counsel to deliver customary opinions regarding the
enforceability of such guaranty and the creation and perfection of the liens and security interests granted pursuant to such documents. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to take any action to perfect a Lien on any of its or the
Subsidiaries’ personal property unless perfection may be accomplished by (A) the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in Borrower’s or a Subsidiary’s respective jurisdiction of formation, or in the case of
as-extracted collateral and goods that are or are to become fixtures or collateral in connection with a Mortgage, the filing of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a UCC-1 affecting as-extracted collateral or as a financing statement
covering such property both centrally and in the county in which such collateral or fixtures are located, (B) delivery of certificates representing pledged Stock or Stock Equivalents consisting of certificated securities together with appropriate
endorsements or transfer powers, (C) granting the Collateral Trustee “control” (within the meaning of the relevant Uniform Commercial Code) over any pledged Stock or Stock Equivalents consisting of uncertificated securities or (D) granting
the Collateral Trustee “control” (within the meaning of the relevant Uniform Commercial Code) over any Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts) and Securities Accounts (other than Excluded Securities Accounts) by entering
into control agreements with, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Collateral Trustee and the account bank for such Deposit Account or securities intermediary for such Securities Account, as applicable. 

(e) Within 30 days of the Initial Closing Date, the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, subject all Deposit Accounts
and Securities Accounts (in each case excluding any Excluded Deposit Accounts and Excluded Securities Accounts) that are (as of the Initial Closing Date) subject to an agreement granting the Revolving Agent “control” (within the meaning of
the relevant Uniform Commercial Code) to an agreement or amendment to such existing agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee granting the Collateral Trustee “control” (within the meaning of the relevant Uniform
Commercial Code) over such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. 

  
 67 

 (f) The Borrower shall promptly provide to the Term Agent copies of all notices, documents,
certificates and instruments delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Documents. 
 (g) Collateral Trust Agreement
and Intercreditor Agreement. This Section 8.9 and Section 12.16 and the provisions of each Security Document are subject to the terms, conditions and benefits set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement and any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower and each Guarantor consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, Intercreditor Agreement and any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as the
same may be in effect from time to time, and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Lender (a) consents to the priority of payments provided for in the Collateral Trust Agreement and the priority of Liens
provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement and, so long as in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Term Loan Supplement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no
actions contrary to, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, Intercreditor Agreement and any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Term Agent on behalf of each Lender to enter into the Collateral Trust
Agreement as the Original Term Loan Agent (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), to join the Intercreditor Agreement as a Priority Lien Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) on behalf of such Lenders and to enter into
or join any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lenders as an authorized representative of such Lenders. In addition, each Lender authorizes and instructs the Term Agent to enter into any amendments or joinders, without the consent
of any Lender, to (i) the Intercreditor Agreement to add additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Debt, Parity Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt and add other parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto and to
establish that the Lien on any Collateral securing such Indebtedness ranks equally with the Liens on such Collateral securing the other Priority Lien Debt, Parity Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt, as applicable, then outstanding and (ii) the Collateral
Trust Agreement to add additional Indebtedness as Revolver Debt or Term Loan Debt and add other parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto and to establish that the Lien on any Collateral securing such
Indebtedness ranks equally with the Liens on such Collateral securing the other Revolver Debt or Term Loan Debt, as applicable, then outstanding, in each case, where the incurrence of such secured Indebtedness is permitted by this Agreement. The
foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement to extend credit to the Borrower and certain of the Subsidiaries, and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and
the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and, if applicable, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement. 
 8.10 Use of Proceeds.

 (a) The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans (i) to pay Transaction Expenses, (ii) to fund, in part, tender offers by the Borrower
for senior unsecured notes issued by the Borrower and to pay fees and expenses in connection with such tender offer, (iii) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and (iv) with respect to any Class of Loans, for any other
purposes specified in the applicable Term Loan Supplement for such Class of Loans.
 (b) The Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that
the Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use the proceeds of any Loan (i) in furtherance of an offer, a payment, a promise to pay, or an authorization of the payment or giving of money, or
anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or
(iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries. 

  
 68 

 8.11 Further Assurances. During a Collateral Requirement Period: 

(a) Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.9, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Security Documents,
the Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements,
fixture, filings, assignments of as-extracted collateral, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents) that may be required under any applicable Requirements of Law, or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in order to grant,
preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the applicable Security Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Collateral Trustee and the Borrower reasonably determine in writing that the cost
of creating or perfecting any Lien on any property is excessive in relation to the benefits afforded to the Lenders thereby, then such property may be excluded from the Collateral for all purposes of the Credit Documents. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, to the extent that the Borrower or any
Guarantor delivers Mortgages or amendments or supplements to prior Mortgages naming the Collateral Trustee, as mortgagee or beneficiary, no local counsel opinion or opinions to the effect that the Collateral Trustee has a valid and perfected Lien
with respect to such Mortgaged Property (subject to customary assumptions and qualifications) will be required to be delivered to the extent Mortgages have previously been recorded in the public records of the state applicable to such additional
Mortgages or amendments or supplements to prior Mortgages, unless a corresponding opinion has been or will be delivered to the Revolving Agent pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement.

the Term Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the perfection or

Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Term Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Requirements of Law; provided further that each of the

protected from any liability whatsoever by exercising, such discretionary power in the same manner as the Revolving Agent has exercised or is exercising its discretionary power with respect to such corresponding or substantially similar provision.
Each of the Term Agent and the Collateral Trustee may rely exclusively on a certificate of an Authorized Officer specifying the discretionary power the Revolving Agent has exercised or is exercising with respect to such corresponding or
substantially similar provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, for the avoidance of doubt, any release of Liens on the Collateral must be in accordance with Section 12.16. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Article VI on a Closing Date, each Lender that has signed the relevant Term Loan Supplement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to
be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender unless the Term Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date for such Class of Loans specifying its objection thereto. 

11.5 Notice of Default. The Term Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Term Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event
that the Term Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Term Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders in accordance
with the terms hereof; provided that unless and until the Term Agent shall have received such directions, the Term Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 11.6 Non-Reliance on Term Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Term Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Term Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Term Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges to the Term Agent
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Term Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its credit extensions hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Term Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to 

  
 92 

 
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Term Agent hereunder, the Term Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or
creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Term Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 

11.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Term Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit
Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Exposure in effect immediately prior to such
date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of
the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Term Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Term Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Term Agent for the payment of any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Term Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction (IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE TERM AGENT AND ANY RELATED PARTIES SHALL, IN ALL CASES, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS ORDINARY, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE); provided, further,
that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for
purposes of this Section 11.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 11.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Term Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Term Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Term Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the
Borrower’s 

  
 93 

 
continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to the Term Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Term Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Term Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify
the Term Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall
not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Term Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from the Term Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The agreements in this Section 11.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

11.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Term Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Credit Party as though the Term Agent were not the Term Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans (if any) made by it, the Term Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Term Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Term Agent in its
individual capacity if it is a Lender. 
 11.9 Successor Agent. The Term Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower. If the Term Agent is a Lender and becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Term Agent may be removed as the Term Agent, as the case may be, at the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Majority Lenders. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under Section 10.1
or 10.5 is continuing, 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 but shall not, in any case, be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate
of a Defaulting Lender; provided that, on terms, conditions and documents satisfactory to such successor Term Agent and the resigning Term Agent in consultation with the Borrower, if an Affiliate of the resigning Term Agent or, so long as no
Event of Default is continuing and subject to the consent of the Borrower, a nationally recognized provider of trustee and agency services for corporate financing transactions (as determined by the Borrower) (a) is willing to accept appointment as a
successor Term Agent, (b) is a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of a bank with an office in the United States, and (c) executes and delivers an acceptance of such appointment to the Borrower and the Lenders (upon which the
Collateral Trustee and others may rely), then such Person shall thereupon, and without any requirement of advance notice to any Person other than the Borrower, become the successor Term Agent. If, in the case of the resignation of the Term Agent,
(x) no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Term Agent gives notice of its resignation and (y) a successor Term Agent has not accepted appointment in
accordance with the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, then the Term Agent may on behalf of and at the expense of the Borrower, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Term Agent meeting the qualifications set
forth above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Term Agent hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or 

  
 94 

 
recording of such instruments or notices as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Term Agent, and the retiring Term Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to the successor Term Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
such successor. After the retiring Term Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article XI (including Section 11.7) and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Term 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 Term Agent was acting as the Term Agent. The retiring Term Agent shall
have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the actions or omissions of any successor Term Agent. 
 11.10 Withholding Tax. To
the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Term Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that the Term Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Term
Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Term Agent (to the extent that the Term Agent has not already been
reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Term Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax
and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Term Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Term Agent under this Section 11.10. 
 11.11
Security Documents and Guarantee. 
 (a) Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Term Agent to enter into the Collateral Trust
Agreement with the Collateral Trustee, which on behalf of and for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, shall be the agent for and representative of the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents. In
accordance with the prior sentence, the Collateral Trustee is hereby acknowledged to be a sub-agent of the Term Agent to act with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents, pursuant to Section 11.2, and each Lender authorizes such
sub-agency and directs the Term Agent to so appoint the Collateral Trustee. It is agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Trustee is entitled to all the rights and remedies of the Term Agent (including separate and distinct, and not derivative,
indemnification and reimbursement rights (with respect to legal expenses, limited to reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel to the Collateral Trustees of its choosing and additional special counsel as
applicable (limited to one firm of special counsel, of the Collateral Trustee’s choosing per specialty))) pursuant to Section 12.5. Subject to Section 12.1 and the Collateral Trust Agreement, without further written consent or
authorization 

  
 95 

 
from any Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Agent or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may (a) execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a Disposition of assets
permitted by this Agreement, (b) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition of assets or with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under
Section 12.1) have otherwise consented or (c) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 12.1) have otherwise consented
(and, in the case of any automatic release of a Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.16, execute any documents or instruments that may be necessary or advisable to evidence such release). 

(b) In connection with its resignation pursuant to Section 3.22 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee may also resign as
sub-agent of the Term Agent to act with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice addressed to the Borrower and the Term Agent (which shall promptly make such notice
available to the Lenders in accordance with its customary practice). In case of the resignation of the Collateral Trustee as such sub-agent, the Lenders authorize and direct the Term Agent to appoint, and the Term Agent hereby agrees that it will
appoint, as sub-agent of the Term Agent to act with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents the successor Collateral Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 3.23 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. The resigning Collateral Trustee will
fulfill its obligations with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents until a successor Collateral Trustee is appointed pursuant to Section 3.23 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. Written notice of such appointment and designation shall
be given by the Term Agent to the Grantors, but the validity of any such appointment shall not be impaired or affected by failure to give such notice or by any defect therein. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and
authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited. Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, the Security Documents shall vest in the successor all the estate and title in and to all of the Collateral, and the successor
shall thereupon succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties hereby conferred upon the Collateral Trustee herein and therein; provided, that solely for purposes of maintaining the Liens granted to the Collateral
Trustee under the Security Documents for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Trustee shall continue to be vested with such Liens as collateral trustee for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties until such time
as all filings and other actions necessary to continue the perfection of such Liens in favor of the successor Collateral Trustee shall have been completed (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Collateral Trustee shall have no duty or
obligation to take any further action or to exercise any discretion under any Security Document). Any one such appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate an additional successor but such right may be exercised
repeatedly until Facility Termination. To facilitate the administration of the duties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents, the Term Agent may appoint multiple trustees to serve in such capacity or in such jurisdictions as the
Term Agent may designate. 
 11.12 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Credit
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Term Agent and each Term Loan Secured Party hereby agree that no Term Loan Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the
Guarantee; it being 

  
 96 

 
understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee or, to the extent permitted by the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Term
Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents and the Guarantee may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee or, to the extent permitted by
the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Term Agent. 
 11.13 Term Agent and Collateral Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding, constituting an Event of Default under Section 10.5, the Term Agent or the Collateral
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee 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 and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Term
Agent and the Collateral Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Term Agent and the Collateral Trustee and their respective agents and counsel, to the extent due under
Section 12.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Term Agent and, in the event that the Term Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Term Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Term Agent and its agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 12.5. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding. 
 Neither the Term Agent nor the Collateral Trustee shall incur any liability for not performing any act or
fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or
governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility), as
applicable, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  
 97 

 Neither the Term Agent nor the Collateral Trustee shall be required to expend or risk any of its
own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent,
designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee or to
any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee, it is understood that in all
cases the Term Agent and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of the
Majority Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents (such Lenders being referred to herein as the “Relevant Lenders”) or any agreement to
which the Relevant Lenders and (i) the Term Agent or (ii) the Collateral Trustee are parties and each acting in accordance with such documents, as the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, deems appropriate. Upon receipt of such
written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Relevant Lenders, the Term Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall take such discretionary actions in accordance with such written instruction, advice or concurrence. This provision
is intended solely for the benefit of the Term Agent and the Collateral Trustee and their successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any
rights or benefits on any party hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Term Agent shall have no liability whatsoever for any action or inaction on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any successor thereto. 

Each of the Term Agent and the Collateral Trustee may consult with legal counsel of its own choosing, at the reasonable and documented expense
of the Borrower, as to any matter relating to this Agreement, and neither the Term Agent nor the Collateral Trustee shall incur any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.

waiver relating to a provision of this Agreement that under the terms of any Term Loan Supplement shall not be applicable to the Loans of the Class established thereby may be effected without the approval of any Lenders of such Class and (iii) no

 99 

 provided, further, that any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Term Agent, without the consent of any Lender, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or
modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Term Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Term
Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; it being understood that no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Term Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute
amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

exercising, on the part of the Term Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents 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,

respective Related Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they have been determined by a final 

  
 101 

 
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties (IT
BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH LENDER, THE TERM AGENT AND EACH ARRANGER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES SHALL, IN ALL CASES, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS ORDINARY COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE), (ii) any material
breach of any Credit Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii) disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits not arising from any act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates, brought by an indemnified Person against any other
indemnified Person (other than disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits involving claims against the Term Agent or an Arranger in its capacity as such). NO PERSON ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER CLAUSE (D) OF THIS
SECTION 12.5 SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED BY IT THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN

than an Ineligible Person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 

(A) the Borrower, if such assignment includes the assignment of a Commitment with respect to a Class of Loans (but not if such assignment is
of outstanding Loans); 
 (B) the Borrower, with such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if such assignment includes only the

provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (i) for an assignment of only Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, in each case with respect to a Lender, (ii) if an Event of Default under

and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (2) after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the remaining Commitment or Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Term Agent) shall not be less than $15,000,000 (unless such amount shall be zero), in each case unless the Term Agent otherwise consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above; 

(B) 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 a Class; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and

and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Term Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 12.6(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the relevant Term Loan Supplement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement and such Term Loan Supplement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment
and Acceptance 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 any provision in the Term Loan Supplement for
such Class of Loans regarding increased costs, illegality and related issues and Sections 4.3 and 12.5 and any other provisions, if any, specified in the Term Loan Supplement applicable to such Class). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 12.6(c). 
 (iv) The Term Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the
Term Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of various Classes of, and principal amount (and stated interest
amounts) of the Loans of various Classes owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Term Agent, the Lenders and the lending
office through which each such Person acts under 

  
 104 

 
this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Term Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, solely with respect to itself, each
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment
and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section
12.6(b) (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.6(b), the Term Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Term Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons other than an
Ineligible Person (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to one or more Classes (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing
to it with respect to such one or more Classes); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Term Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such one or
more Classes. 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 or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in
clause (ii) of the proviso to Section 12.1 that affects such Participant, provided that the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentage specified in the definitions of the term “Majority
Lenders”. Subject to Section 12.6(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of any provision in the Term Loan Supplement for such Class of Loans regarding increased costs, illegality and
related issues and Section 4.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section
12.6(b), including the requirements of clauses (e), (f) and (i) of Section 4.3). 
 (ii) A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under any provision in the Term Loan Supplement for such Class of Loans regarding increased costs, illegality and related issues and Section 4.3 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation;
provided that the Participant shall be subject to any provisions in the Term Loan Supplement for such Class of Loans regarding a Lender mitigating increased costs or taxes or illegality by designating a different lending office as if it were
an assignee under clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 12.6. Each Lender that sells a 

  
 105 

 
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal
amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans with respect to one or more Classes of Loans or other obligations with respect to such one or more Classes under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
 (d) Any Lender may,
without the consent of the Borrower or the Term Agent at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having
jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 12.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) Subject to Section 12.15,
the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession
concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its
Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement. 

(f) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance
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. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Loans of any Class to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to a Dutch Auction or open market purchase by the Borrower; provided that: 

(i) the assigning Lender and the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary purchasing such Lender’s Loans, as applicable, shall
execute and deliver to the Term Agent an Assignment and Acceptance;

  
 106 

 (ii) any Loans assigned to the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be automatically
and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;

(iii) the Borrower shall either (A) represent and warrant to the effect that it is not in possession of any information that has not been
disclosed to the auction manager, the Term Agent and “non-Public Lenders” and that could reasonably be expected to be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in an auction or an assignment (“Excluded
Information”) or (B) make a statement that such representation cannot be made, 
 (iv) no Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing; and 
 (v) the assignment to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary and cancellation of Loans shall not constitute a mandatory
or voluntary payment for purposes of Sections 4.1 and 4.2, but the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased pursuant
to this Section 12.6(g), and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Loans of such Class shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate principal amount of Loans of such Class purchased hereunder. 

To the extent a statement is made pursuant to Section 12.6(g)(iii)(B), each Lender making an assignment to the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries
acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) the Borrower then may have, and later may come into possession of, Excluded Information regarding the Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder, (2) such Lender has independently and,
without reliance on the Borrower, the Term Agent, any auction manager or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded
Information and (3) none of the Borrower, the Term Agent, any auction manager or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such
Lender may have against the Borrower, the Term Agent, any auction manager and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender entering into such an
assignment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Term Agent, any auction manager or the other Lenders. 

12.7 Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) The Borrower shall, at its sole expense and cost, be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing as
a result of a Change in Law, (ii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iii) does not consent to any waiver or amendment desired by the Borrower requiring the consent of all Lenders, the Majority Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (so long as
the Majority Lenders have consented thereto), or (iv) has failed to fund Loans or has made a notification or public statement that it does not intend or expect to 

  
 107 

 
comply with its funding obligations hereunder, in each case as a result of its determination that a condition precedent to funding has not or cannot be satisfied pursuant to the definition of
“Lender Default”, in each case, with a an Institutional Lender as the replacement Lender; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default under Sections 10.1 or
10.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) the replacement Lender shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall pay (1) all other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to any
provision in the Term Loan Supplement for the applicable Class of Loans regarding increased costs, illegality or Section 4.3, as the case may be owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement and (2) in the case of a
replacement of a Lender pursuant to clause (iii) above, an amount equal to any make whole premium or other prepayment premium provided for in the applicable Term Loan Supplement, (D) the Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Term
Agent (to the extent the consent of such Person would be required if an assignment were being made to such replacement Lender under Section 12.6(b)), (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.6(b) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), and (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the
Borrower, the Term Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.7 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Term Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such
assignment need not be a party thereto. 
 12.8 Counterparts. Any Credit Document may be executed by one or more of the parties
thereto on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. A set of the copies of the Credit Documents signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Term Agent. 

12.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 12.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the
agreement of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Term Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Term Agent

Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clauses (b) or (c) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other Disposition permitted hereunder) to
any Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary, to the extent such Disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Term Agent and the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided
to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) upon the concurrent release of all then-existing Enumerated Liens on such Collateral if (A) such release is in connection with a substantially concurrent grant of
Liens on other property or assets of comparable or greater value to the Collateral being released, as determined in good faith by the Borrower, or (B) at the time of such release (I) the amount of drawn commitments and the amount of undrawn
commitments available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement is not less than $1.0 billion and (II) the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the effect that after giving effect to such release and the

an Authorized Officer as to whether any release of Liens is permitted hereunder and, promptly upon receipt thereof, shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee an instruction to execute, acknowledge and deliver documents to release such
Liens. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all
interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required by the applicable Credit Documents, except to the extent otherwise released
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the 

  
 112 

 
Term Loan Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from the Guarantee in respect of the Facility upon (A) consummation of any transaction
permitted hereunder resulting in such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary (including an Unrestricted Subsidiary), (B) consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Guarantor no longer being a Subsidiary of the Borrower
or (C) subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 12.16, with reference in subclause (A) thereof to “the Collateral being released” being deemed to refer
to the Collateral owned by such Guarantor. The Term Loan Secured Parties hereby (1) authorize the Collateral Trustee or, to the extent permitted by the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Term Agent to (all without the further consent or joinder of
any Lender), and the Collateral Trustee or, to the extent permitted by the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Term Agent shall, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to effect, evidence and/or confirm the
release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to (and subject to the requirements of) the foregoing provisions of this Section and (2) agree that (w) the Term Agent’s entry into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement
is reasonable and consent to such Intercreditor Agreement and Collateral Trust Agreement and to the Term Agent’s execution thereof, (x) the Term Agent is authorized, without any further consent of any Lender, to enter into or amend any other
intercreditor agreement or collateral trust agreement with the agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted under this Agreement to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, in
each case for the purpose of adding the holders of such Indebtedness (or their representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto (it being understood that any such amendment, amendment and restatement
or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement or the applicable collateral trust agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Term Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing), (y) the Term Agent may
rely exclusively on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (z) any such intercreditor agreement or collateral trust agreement referred to in clause (x) above and the
Intercreditor Agreement and Collateral Trust Agreement, entered into by the Term Agent, shall be binding on the Lenders. Upon any such release, any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Collateral
or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be repeated. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Credit Document, upon the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), all security interests and Liens in all Collateral and all obligations under all the Credit Documents shall be automatically released and
discharged as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Term Agent or Collateral Trustee shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Term Loan Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required, advisable or reasonably
requested by the Borrower to evidence or otherwise more fully effect the foregoing, provided, however, that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed
thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

  
 113 

 (c) If on any date the Ratings Condition is met and all other then-existing Enumerated Liens are
concurrently released, the Liens on the Collateral will be released (upon and subject to the consummation of such transaction referred to in clause (b) of the definition of Ratings Condition in the case the Ratings Condition is satisfied
under such clause (b)). 
 (d) If any Lender determines, acting reasonably, that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to hold or benefit from a Lien over real property pursuant to any law of the United States or any State thereof, such Lender may notify the Term Agent and disclaim any benefit
of such Lien to the extent of such illegality; provided that such determination or disclaimer shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Lien for the benefit of any other Lender. 

12.17 USA PATRIOT Act. In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time,
applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Applicable Law”), the
Term Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Term Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Term Agent,
upon the Term Agent’s request from time to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Term Agent to comply with Applicable Law. 

12.18 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Term Agent or any
Lender, or the Term Agent 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 Term Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding 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 severally agrees to pay to the Term
Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Term 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 applicable Overnight Rate from
time to time in effect. 
 12.19 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the monetary Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Term Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as
though such payments had not been made. 
 12.20 Disposition of Proceeds. If executed and delivered, any Security Document may
contain an assignment by the applicable Credit Party unto and in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties of all of such Credit Party’s interest in and to its

  
 114 

 
as-extracted collateral in the form of production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Collateral covered thereby. If executed and delivered,
the Security Documents may further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Documents and
subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, unless an Event of Default is continuing during a Collateral Requirement Period, (a) the Term Agent and the Lenders agree that they will not instruct the Collateral Trustee to notify the purchaser or
purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Collateral Trustee, and all such proceeds shall be permitted to be paid to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize
the Collateral Agent and Term Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries. 

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

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such
liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the
write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Security Documents.

Collateral Trustee by the Controlling Priority Debt Representative or any other Priority Debt Representative that in the sole judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the
Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such
direction. 
 (c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement
at the request, order or direction of the Controlling Priority Debt Representative or any other Priority Debt Representative pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such party shall have furnished to the Collateral Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities including attorneys’ fees and expenses which may be incurred therein or thereby.

conclusively relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other
writing delivered to it by the Borrower or any Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Priority Debt Representative as to the holders of Priority Obligations for whom it acts, without being required to
determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with

  
 21 

 
the provisions of this Agreement or any signature believed by it in good faith to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or
execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to
be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel as to such matter and such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be

conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security
Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Shared Collateral held by the
Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the
Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed
otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 3.18 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Shared Collateral

 22 

 
or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements
or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Shared Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee
will execute, file or record UCC-3 continuation statements and other documents and instruments to preserve, protect or perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee (subject to the priorities set forth herein) if it shall receive
a specific written request to execute, file or record the particular continuation statement or other specific document or instrument by the appropriate Priority Debt Representative, it being understood that the Borrower and/or the applicable Grantor
shall be responsible for all filings required in connection with any Security Document and the continuation, maintenance and/or perfection of any such filing or the lien and security interest granted in connection therewith (which request shall
include an instruction to the Collateral Trustee to provide a copy of such request to each other Priority Debt Representative). The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Priority Debt Representative a copy of any such written
request. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Shared Collateral in its possession if the Shared Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own
property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Shared Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by
the Collateral Trustee in good faith. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 3.18(a), the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the
existence, genuineness or value of any of the Shared Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Shared Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency of the Shared Collateral or any agreement or
assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Shared Collateral, for insuring the Shared Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Shared Collateral or otherwise as to the
maintenance of the Shared Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Priority Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in
the value of any Shared Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to any Priority Debt Representative or any holder of Priority Obligations to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this or any other Security Document or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Grantor. 

Section 3.19 Assumptions of Rights, Not of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 

(a) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Security Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth
therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; 

  
 23 

 (b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder
will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Security Documents; and 
 (c) the
Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower or any Grantor. 
 Section 3.20 No
Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any trust
obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee
to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to immediately resign as Collateral Trustee or to
arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any
federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions or inactions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or
release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower or any Grantor and their Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Trustee hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Priority Secured Parties. The
Priority Debt Representatives and the holders of the Priority Obligations acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, MUFG Union Bank, N.A. or its Affiliates (and any successor Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates) may receive information
regarding the Borrower or any Grantor or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower, such Grantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee shall not be
under any obligation to provide such information to the Priority Debt Representatives or the holders of the Priority Obligations. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (or any successor Collateral
Trustee) to advance funds. 
 Section 3.22 Resignation or Removal of the Collateral Trustee. Subject to the appointment of a
successor Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 3.23 and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Collateral Trustee: 
 (a)
the Collateral Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of resignation to each Priority Debt Representative and the Borrower; and

 24 

 Section 3.23 Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. Upon any such resignation

of this Section 3.23 has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee and the provisions of Section 3.24 have been satisfied. If no successor Collateral Trustee has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
predecessor Collateral Trustee gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring Collateral Trustee may (at the expense of the Borrower), at its option, appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for

and the predecessor Collateral Trustee will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; 
 (b) the predecessor Collateral
Trustee will (at the expense of the Borrower) promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security and other property of the Trust Estate within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Trustee and will
execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Trustee to transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor
Collateral Trustee in respect of the Security Documents or the Trust Estate; and 
 (c) thereafter the predecessor Collateral Trustee will
remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in this Agreement and the provisions of Section 11.17 and Section 11.18, and said provisions will survive termination of this Agreement for the benefit of the predecessor of the Collateral
Trustee. The predecessor Collateral Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever for the actions or inactions of the successor Collateral Trustee.

or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Collateral Trustee shall be the
successor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.24, provided that (a) without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or
assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person 

  
 25 

 
satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in Section 3.23 and (b) prior to any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the Collateral Trustee shall have notified the Borrower and each
Priority Debt Representative thereof in writing. 
 Section 3.26 Concerning the Collateral Trustee and the Priority Debt
Representatives. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that this Agreement has been signed by each Priority Debt Representative not in its individual capacity or personally but solely in its capacity as trustee, representative or agent for the benefit of the related holders of the applicable
Priority Obligations in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the related Priority Debt Documents, and in no event shall such Priority Debt Representative, in its individual capacity, have any liability for the
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Priority Debt Document or in any of the certificates, reports, documents, data notices or agreements delivered by such other party
pursuant hereto or thereto. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Priority Debt Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities set forth in the
Priority Debt Documents governing the applicable Priority Obligations for which such Person is acting or will act as Priority Debt Representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Agreement
has been signed by MUFG Union Bank, N.A., not in its individual capacity or personally but in its capacity as Collateral Trustee, and in no event shall MUFG Union Bank, N.A., in its individual capacity, have any liability for the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Priority Debt Document or in any of the certificates, reports, documents, data notices or agreements delivered by such other party pursuant hereto or
thereto. 
 (c) In entering into this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Priority
Debt Documents relating to the rights, exculpations or conduct of, affecting the liability of or otherwise affording protection to the “administrative Agent” or “Collateral Trustee” thereunder. In no event will the
Collateral Trustee be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors, any other Priority Debt Representative or any Priority Debt Secured Party. 

(d) Except as otherwise set forth herein, neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Priority Debt Representative shall be required to exercise
any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) solely upon the written instructions of the applicable Priority Debt Representative as
provided herein; provided that neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Priority Debt Representative shall be required to take any action that (i) it in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless it receives an indemnification
satisfactory to it from the applicable holders of the Priority Obligations with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or applicable law.

 ARTICLE IV 

PARI PASSU LIENS 
 Section
4.01 Lien Priorities. 
 (a) The grant of the Revolver Liens pursuant to the Revolver Documents and the grant of the Term Loan Liens
pursuant to the Term Loan Documents create two separate and distinct Liens of equal priority on the Shared Collateral for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of all previously existing and future Priority Obligations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Term Loan Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees (on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties) that the Term Loan Secured Parties (and not the Revolver Secured Parties) bear the risk
of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (w) the Term Loan Obligations do not constitute “Priority Lien Obligations” under (and as defined in) the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (x) any of the Term Loan
Obligations are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (including the Second Lien Obligations (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement)), (y) any of the Term Loan Obligations do not have an
enforceable security interest in any of the Shared Collateral securing such Term Loan Obligations and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (including the Second Lien Obligations (as defined in the Second
Lien Intercreditor Agreement)) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Term Loan Obligations or (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (w), (x), (y) or (z) with respect to any Term Loan Obligations, an
“Impairment” of such Term Loan Obligations). In the event of any Impairment with respect to any Term Loan Obligations, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such Term Loan Obligations, and the rights of the
holders of such Term Loan Obligations (including the right to receive distributions in respect of such Term Loan Obligations pursuant to Section 8.01 or the right to equal and ratable liens on the Shared Collateral to the extent the Impairment
relates to the Term Loan Liens) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of the Term Loan Obligations subject to such Impairment. The Revolver Agent, on
behalf of the Revolver Secured Parties, agrees the Revolver Secured Parties shall not commence or support any judicial proceeding seeking an Impairment. 

(b) Subject in all respects to Section 8.01, notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any
Liens securing any Priority Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Priority Debt Documents or any defect or deficiencies
in the Liens securing the Priority Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Priority Obligation on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

(c) It is acknowledged that (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Obligations may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of
the Revolver Documents, (ii) a portion of the Revolver Obligations consists or may consist of indebtedness that is revolving in nature, and the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and
subsequently reborrowed or refinanced, and (iii) (A) the Revolver Documents may be replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured refinanced or 

  
 27 

 
otherwise amended or modified from time to time and (B) the Revolver Obligations may be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, refinanced
or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, in the case of the foregoing (A) and (B) all without affecting the payment priorities of the Term Loan Liens hereunder or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the
Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties. The lien priorities provided for herein shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, increase, renewal, restatement or Replacement
of either the Revolver Obligations (or any part thereof) or the Term Loan Obligations (or any part thereof), by the release of any Shared Collateral or of any guarantees for any Revolver Obligations or by any action that any Priority Debt
Representative or Priority Secured Party may take or fail to take in respect of any Shared Collateral. 
 Section 4.02 Prohibition on
Marshalling, Etc. The Term Loan Agent will not assert any marshalling, appraisal, valuation, or other similar right in respect of the Shared Collateral. 

Section 4.03 No New Liens. The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Revolver Obligations has not occurred, none
of the Grantors shall, nor shall any Grantor permit any of its subsidiaries to, (a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any Term Loan Obligation, or take any action to perfect any additional Liens, unless it has
granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants (or offers to grant), a Lien on such asset of such Grantor to secure the Revolver Obligations and has taken all actions required to perfect such Liens; or (b) grant or permit any additional
Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any Revolver Obligation, or take any action to perfect any additional Liens, unless it has granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants (or offers to grant), a Lien on such asset of such Grantor
to secure the Term Loan Obligations and has taken all actions required to perfect such Liens. Any liens granted in accordance with this Section 4.03 shall be granted in favor of the Collateral Trustee and subject to the terms of this Agreement. To
the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, or should any Lien upon any Shared Collateral be released or become unperfected due to breach of this Agreement or due to inadvertence,
neglect or error by any of the Priority Secured Parties, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or the other Revolver Secured Parties, the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any Term Loan Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 4.03 or any such release or lack of perfection shall
be subject to Section 5.05(b). 
 Section 4.04 Similar Collateral and Agreements. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
it is their intention that the Revolver Collateral and the Term Loan Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree (a) to cooperate in good faith in order to determine, upon any reasonable request by the
Revolver Agent or the Term Loan Agent, the specific assets included in the Revolver Collateral and the Term Loan Collateral, the steps taken to perfect the Revolver Liens and the Term Loan Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties
obligated under the Revolver Documents and the Term Loan Documents in respect of the Revolver Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations, respectively, (b) that the Term Loan Security Documents creating Liens on the Shared Collateral shall be in all
material respects the same forms of documents as the respective Revolver Security Documents 

  
 28 

 
creating Liens on the Shared Collateral other than (i) such modifications to such Term Loan Security Documents which are less restrictive than the corresponding Revolver Security Documents and
(ii) provisions in the Term Loan Security Documents which are solely applicable to the rights and duties of the Collateral Trustee and (c) that at no time shall there be any Grantor that is an obligor in respect of the Term Loan Obligations that is
not also an obligor in respect of the Revolver Obligations or an obligor in respect of the Revolver Obligations that is not also an obligor in respect of the Term Loan Obligations. The intention of the parties hereto that their interests in the
Shared Collateral be identical may not be construed as a condition to the grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien held by any of the Priority Secured Parties, nor shall it be construed to confer on any third party any right, interest or priority
superior to that which such party would hold in the absence of such intention. To the extent that, notwithstanding the intentions and obligations stated above, the interests of the parties hereto in the Shared Collateral are not identical, then
the provisions of the last sentence of Section 4.03 above shall govern. 
 Section 4.05 No Implied Duty of Collateral
Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not have any duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Second Lien Intercreditor
Agreement. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Priority Debt Documents or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise exist against the
Collateral Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentences, the use of the term “trustee” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Trustee is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, the other Security Documents or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

Section 4.06 No Duties of Revolver Agent or Collateral Trustee. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term
Loan Secured Party, acknowledges and agrees that neither the Revolver Agent nor any other Revolver Secured Party shall have any duties or other obligations to any such Term Loan Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral, other than to
transfer to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Term Loan Agent any remaining Shared Collateral and any proceeds of the sale or other Disposition of any such Shared Collateral remaining in its possession following the associated Discharge
of Revolver Obligations, in each case without representation or warranty on the part of the Revolver Agent or any Revolver Secured Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan
Secured Party, acknowledges and agrees that until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations (subject to the terms of Section 5.02, including the rights of the Term Loan Secured Parties following the expiration of the Standstill Period), the Collateral
Trustee at the direction of the Revolver Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Revolver Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise Dispose of or deal with such Shared Collateral, as provided herein and in the Revolver Documents,
without regard to any Term Loan Lien or any rights to which the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Term Loan Lien. Without limiting the foregoing, the Term Loan Agent, for itself and
on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that neither the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent nor any other Revolver Secured Party shall have any duty 

  
 29 

 
or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral, or to sell, Dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral, in any manner that would
maximize the return to the Term Loan Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, Disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Term Loan Secured Parties from such
realization, sale, Disposition or liquidation. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each of the other Term Loan Secured Parties waives any claim such Term Loan Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Trustee,
the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party arising out of any actions which the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or the Revolver Secured Parties take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or
continuation of Liens on any Shared Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Shared Collateral, and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all
or any part of the Revolver Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with this Agreement and the Revolver Documents or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Revolver Obligations.

 ARTICLE V 

ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS 

Section 5.01 Limitation on Enforcement Action; Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Prior to the Discharge of Revolver Obligations,
the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, hereby agrees that, subject to Section 5.02 and Section 5.05(b), none of the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party shall commence or instruct the
Collateral Trustee to commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right,
remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral under any Term Loan Document, applicable law or otherwise
(including but not limited to any right of setoff or under the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement), it being agreed that only the Collateral Trustee, at the direction of the Revolver Agent, and acting in accordance with the applicable Revolver
Documents, shall have the exclusive right (and whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced), to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies, in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of the
Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral, the Collateral Trustee, at the direction of the Revolver Agent and the other Revolver Secured Parties may enforce the
provisions of the Revolver Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as the Revolver Agent and the other Revolver Secured Parties may determine in their sole discretion and regardless of whether such exercise
and enforcement is adverse to the interest of any Term Loan Secured Party. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to Dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection
with any such Disposition or in connection with care or preservation of the Shared Collateral and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code (including the right to credit
bid) or any other applicable law or Bankruptcy Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee, at the direction of the Revolver Agent, will have the exclusive right to deal

  
 30 

 
with that portion of the Shared Collateral consisting of deposit accounts and securities accounts (collectively “Accounts”), including exercising rights under control agreements with
respect to such Accounts. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Term Loan Security Document, or any other
Term Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Revolver Agent or the other Revolver Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral as set forth in this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 5.05, the Term Loan Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, may, but will have no obligation to, direct the Collateral Trustee to take all such actions (not adverse to the
Revolver Liens or the rights of the Revolver Agent and the Revolver Secured Parties) it deems necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Term Loan Liens in the Shared Collateral or to create, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the
Term Loan Liens in the Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the right or ability of the Term Loan Secured Parties to (a) purchase (by credit bid or otherwise) all or any portion of the Shared Collateral
in connection with any enforcement of remedies by the Collateral Trustee at the direction of the Revolver Agent to the extent that, and so long as, the Discharge of Revolver Obligations occurs immediately after giving effect thereto, (b) direct the
Collateral Trustee to file a proof of claim with respect to the Term Loan Obligations, (c) direct the Collateral Trustee to take any action in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and
priority of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral, or (d) direct the Collateral Trustee to file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or
otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term Loan Secured Parties or the avoidance of any Lien securing such Term Loan Obligations. The Revolving Agent agrees to notify the Term Agent of any direction given by it to the
Collateral Trustee to commence any Enforcement Action in respect of the Shared Collateral; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not impair the effectiveness of such Enforcement Action, nor create any claim or cause of action against the
Revolving Agent or any Revolving Secured Party. 
 Section 5.02 Standstill Period; Permitted Enforcement Action. Prior to the
Discharge of Revolver Obligations and notwithstanding Section 5.01, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding after a period of 180 days has elapsed (which period will be tolled during any period in which the Collateral Trustee
is not entitled, on behalf of the Revolver Secured Parties, to enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Shared Collateral as a result of (a) any injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the automatic stay
or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) since the date on which the Term Loan Agent has delivered to the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent written notice of the acceleration of any Term Loan Debt (the
“Standstill Period”), the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties may direct the Collateral Trustee on their behalf to enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Shared Collateral; provided,
however that notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything in the Term Loan Documents to the contrary, in no event may the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party direct the Collateral Trustee on their behalf to
enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Shared Collateral, or commence, join with any Person at any time in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding, if the Collateral
Trustee on behalf of the Revolver Secured Parties or any other 

  
 31 

 
Revolver Secured Party shall have commenced, and shall be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay or any other stay or other
prohibition in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof), the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral (prompt written notice thereof to be given to the
Term Loan Agent by the Collateral Trustee); provided, further, that, at any time after the expiration of the Standstill Period, if neither the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent nor any other Revolver Secured Party shall have
commenced and be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought, and requested relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay or any other stay or other prohibition in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit
thereof) the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any material portion of the Shared Collateral, and the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of and at the direction of the Term Loan Agent, shall have commenced the enforcement
or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any material portion of the Shared Collateral or any such action or proceeding in respect of such rights and remedies, then for so long as the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Term Loan Agent
is diligently pursuing such rights and remedies, none of any Revolver Secured Party or the Revolver Agent shall take, or direct the Collateral Trustee on their behalf to take any action of a similar nature with respect to such Shared Collateral, or
commence, join with any Person at any time in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding (provided that during such period the Revolver Agent may direct the Collateral Trustee to take, on behalf
of the Revolver Secured Parties, any of the actions the Term Loan Agent is permitted to direct the Collateral Trustee to take on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties during the Standstill Period). Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall
relieve the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured party of its obligations under Section 5.05(b). 
 Section 5.03 Insurance.
Unless and until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations has occurred (subject to the terms of Section 5.02, including the rights of the Term Loan Secured Parties following expiration of the Standstill Period), the Collateral Trustee, at the direction
of the Revolver Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Revolver Documents, to adjust and settle claims in respect of Shared Collateral under any insurance policy in the event of any loss
thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Shared Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations has occurred, and subject to the
rights of the Grantors under the Revolver Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect to the Shared Collateral shall be paid to the Revolver Agent pursuant
to the terms of the Revolver Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of commitments, letters of credit and Hedge Obligations). If the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall, at any time prior to the Discharge
of Revolver Obligations, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of the foregoing, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Collateral Trustee. In addition, if by virtue of being named as an
additional insured or loss payee of any insurance policy of any Grantor covering any of the Shared Collateral, the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party shall have the right to adjust or settle any claim under any such insurance
policy, then unless and until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Agent and any such Term Loan Secured Party shall follow the instructions of the Collateral Trustee, or of the Grantors under the

  
 32 

 
Revolver Documents to the extent the Revolver Documents grant such Grantors the right to adjust or settle such claims, with respect to such adjustment or settlement (subject to the terms of
Section 5.02, including the rights of the Term Loan Secured Parties following expiration of the Standstill Period). 
 Section 5.04
Notification of Release of Collateral. Each Priority Debt Representative shall give the Collateral Trustee and the other Priority Debt Representative prompt written notice of instructions to the Collateral Trustee to Dispose, and Release the
Lien on, any Shared Collateral. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the subject Shared Collateral, the parties involved in such Disposition or Release, the place, time manner and method thereof, and the consideration, if any,
received therefor; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not in and of itself in any way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or Release. 

Section 5.05 No Interference; Payment Over. 

(a) No Interference. Subject to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 6.02, the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term
Loan Secured Party, agrees that each Term Loan Secured Party (i) will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is to give such Term Loan Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, any Revolver Lien with
respect to the Shared Collateral or any part thereof, (ii) will not challenge or question (or direct the Collateral Trustee to challenge or question) in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Revolver Obligations or Revolver Document,
or the validity, attachment or perfection of any Revolver Lien, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or
effect of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other Disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Revolver Agent or the Collateral Trustee, at the
direction of any Revolver Secured Party or the Revolver Agent, acting on their behalf, (iv) shall have no right to (A) direct the Collateral Trustee (except as provided in Section 5.02), the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party to
exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral or (B) consent to the exercise by the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party of any right, remedy or power of the Revolver Secured Parties
with respect to any Shared Collateral, (v) will not institute or cause to be instituted any suit or assert in any suit or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any claim against the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or other Revolver Secured
Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to, and neither the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent nor any other Revolver Secured Party shall be liable to any of the Term Loan
Secured Parties for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or other Revolver Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral, (vi) will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared
Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other Disposition of such Shared Collateral, (vii) will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any
provision of this Agreement, (viii) will not object to forbearance by the Revolver Agent or the Collateral Trustee at the direction of the Revolver Agent or any Revolver Secured Party, and (ix) will not assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, 

  
 33 

 
appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Shared Collateral or any similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under
applicable law; provided that nothing herein shall limit the rights of any Term Loan Secured Party to enforce the terms of this Agreement. The Revolver Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Revolver Secured Party, agrees that each Revolver
Secured Party (i) will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Term Loan Obligations or Term Loan Document, or the validity, attachment or perfection of any Term Loan Lien, or the validity or enforceability
of the priorities, rights or duties established by the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by
judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other Disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Collateral Trustee, any Term Loan Secured Party or the Term Loan Agent acting on their behalf to the extent such sale, transfer or other
Disposition is permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) Payment Over. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each
other Term Loan Secured Party, hereby agrees that if any Term Loan Secured Party shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any Proceeds or payment in respect of any Shared Collateral, pursuant to any rights or remedies with
respect to the Shared Collateral under any Term Loan Security Document or on account of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, to the extent permitted hereunder, at any time prior to the
Discharge of Revolver Obligations secured, or intended to be secured, by such Shared Collateral, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment in trust for the Revolver Agent and the other Revolver Secured Parties and transfer such
Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Collateral Trustee as promptly as practicable; provided that nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Term Loan Secured Parties to receive the payments of principal, interest,
fees and other amounts under the Term Loan Documents so long as such payment is not the result of any exercise of remedies by any Term Loan Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral or a payment in respect of Shared Collateral or the Term
Loan Secured Parties realizing any Proceeds in respect of Shared Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, any Proceeds received by any of the Term Loan Secured Parties in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be deemed
to be the result of an exercise of remedies. Furthermore, the Term Loan Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, promptly send written notice to the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent upon receipt of such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or
payment not permitted hereunder by any Term Loan Secured Party and if directed by the Collateral Trustee, at the direction of the Revolver Agent, within five (5) days after receipt by the Collateral Trustee of such written notice, shall deliver such
Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment to the Revolver Agent in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Revolver Agent is hereby authorized to make any such
endorsements as agent for the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party agrees that if, at any time, it obtains written notice that all or part of
any payment with respect to any Revolver Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, it will promptly pay over to the Collateral Trustee for payment to the Revolver Agent any such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment
not permitted hereunder received by it and then in its or the Collateral Trustee’s possession or under its or the Collateral Trustee’s direct control in respect of any such Revolver Collateral and shall promptly turn any such Shared
Collateral then held by it over to the Collateral Trustee for the Revolver Agent, and the 

  
 34 

 
provisions set forth in this Agreement will be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations. All Term Loan Liens will remain attached to, and
enforceable against all Proceeds so held or remitted, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement. At any time prior to the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
this Section 5.05(b) shall not apply to any Proceeds of Shared Collateral realized in a transaction not prohibited by the Revolver Documents and as to which the possession or receipt thereof by the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured
Party is otherwise permitted by the Revolver Documents. 
 ARTICLE VI 

OTHER AGREEMENTS 
 Section
6.01 Release of Liens. (a) Prior to the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party agrees that, in the event the Collateral Trustee at the direction of the Revolver
Secured Parties releases the Revolver Lien on any Shared Collateral, the Term Loan Lien on such Shared Collateral shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if (i) such release is permitted under the Revolver Documents
and the Term Loan Documents, (ii) such release is effected in connection with the Collateral Trustee’s foreclosure upon, or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect to, such Shared Collateral at the direction of the Revolver Agent
(including a Disposition of Shared Collateral to which the Borrower or Grantor consents or assists), or (iii) such release is effected in connection with a sale or other Disposition of any Shared Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363
or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Revolver Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or Disposition of such Shared Collateral; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Term Loan Liens
on such Shared Collateral shall attach to (and shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement) any Proceeds of a sale, transfer or other Disposition of Shared Collateral not paid to the Revolver Secured Parties or that remain after the
Discharge of Revolver Obligations. 
 (b) The Term Loan Agent agrees to direct the Collateral Trustee to execute and deliver (at the sole
cost and expense of the Grantors) all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Revolver Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section 6.01. 

Section 6.02 Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under New York law, New York UCC
9-339 and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower. All references in
this Agreement to the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Grantor will include such Person or Persons as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

  
 35 

 (b) If the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, or if any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons shall, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP
Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other
Term Loan Secured Party will raise any objection to, contest or oppose (and shall not direct the Collateral Trustee to raise any objection to, contest or oppose), and each Term Loan Secured Party will waive any claim such Person may now or hereafter
have and shall be deemed to consent to, any such DIP Financing or the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”), or any use, sale or lease of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral or any
grant of administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless the Revolver Agent opposes or objects to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral. The Term Loan Agent will instruct
the Collateral Trustee to, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, (i) subordinate the Term Loan Liens including any replacement Liens granted as adequate protection Liens to the Term Loan Secured Parties on the Shared
Collateral to any such DIP Financing Liens on the same terms as the Revolver Liens of the Revolver Secured Parties are subordinated thereto (ii) deem any replacement Liens granted as adequate protection Liens to the Term Loan Secured Parties on the
Shared Collateral as Liens subject to the terms hereof (including 4.01) and (iii) agree to the terms and priority of any “carve-outs”. 

(c) Prior to the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, without the consent of the Revolver Agent, in its sole discretion, the Term Loan Agent,
for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party agrees not to propose, support or enter into any DIP Financing. 
 (d) The Term
Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that it will not (and will not direct to the Collateral Trustee to) object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or
contesting) and if requested, will consent (and will direct the Collateral Trustee to consent on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties) to a sale or other Disposition, a motion to sell or Dispose or the bidding procedure for such sale or
Disposition of any Shared Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code (including any credit bidding under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code), if the Revolver Secured
Parties shall have consented to such sale or Disposition, such motion to sell or Dispose or such bidding procedures for such sale or Disposition of such Shared Collateral. 

(e) The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party waives any claim that may be had against the
Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party arising out of any DIP Financing Liens or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case that is granted in a manner that is
consistent with this Agreement). 
 (f) The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that
neither the Term Loan Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party will (nor will they instruct the Collateral Trustee on their behalf to) file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any motion for adequate protection (or any
comparable 

  
 36 

 
request for relief), including for payment of Post-Petition Interest, based upon their interest in the Shared Collateral, nor object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party
objecting to, opposing or contesting) (i) any request by the Revolver Agent or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party for adequate protection, including for payment of Post-Petition Interest, or
(ii) any objection by the Revolver Agent or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Revolver Agent or Revolver Secured Parties claiming a
lack of adequate protection, except that the Term Loan Secured Parties may, or may instruct the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties to: 

(i) freely seek and obtain relief granting adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien or additional collateral
co-extensive in all respects with, but with the same relative priority to the Revolver Liens as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, all Liens or additional collateral granted in the Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the benefit of, the Revolver Secured Parties (with any such resulting collateral constituting Shared Collateral hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 8.01); 

(ii) freely seek and obtain relief granting adequate protection in the form of superpriority claims to the same extent granted
to the Revolver Secured Parties, provided payments made on account of such superpriority claims shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 8.01; and

(iii) freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate protection (or any comparable relief), without any condition
or restriction whatsoever, at any time after the Discharge of Revolver Obligations. 
 (g) To the extent the Term Loan Obligations and the
Revolver Obligations are classified in the same class under a plan of reorganization, (i) the Revolver Agent may direct any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such class and (ii) the Collateral Trustee on behalf of
each of the Term Loan Secured Parties waives any claim it or any such Term Loan Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party (or their representatives) arising out of any election by the
Revolver Agent or any Revolver Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(h) The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding, neither the Term Loan Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party shall (nor shall they direct the Collateral Trustee to) support or vote to accept any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Grantor unless (i) such plan is
accepted by the Revolver Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the Discharge of Revolver Obligations on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, (ii) such Plan provides for the
Discharge of Revolver Obligations, or (iii) such plan provides on account of the Revolver Obligations for the retention by the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Revolver Secured Parties, of the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the
Revolver Obligations, and on all Proceeds thereof 

  
 37 

 
whenever received, and such plan also provides that any Liens retained by, or granted to, the Collateral Trustee for the Term Loan Secured Parties are only on property securing the Revolver
Obligations and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Shared Collateral or other property (including the same relative priority with respect to proceeds of such Shared Collateral or other property), respectively, as provided in
this Agreement with respect to the Shared Collateral. Except as provided herein, the Term Loan Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 

(i) The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that neither the Term Loan Agent nor any other
Term Loan Secured Party shall (nor shall they direct the Collateral Trustee to) seek relief (or support any other party seeking relief), pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Shared Collateral without the prior written consent of the Revolver Agent. 

(j) The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that neither the Term Loan Agent nor any other
Term Loan Secured Party shall (nor shall they direct the Collateral Trustee to) oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding of Revolver Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest or cash collateralization of all letters of credit to the extent of the value of the Revolver Liens (it being understood that such value will be determined without
regard to the existence of the Term Loan Liens on the Shared Collateral). Neither the Revolver Agent nor any other Revolver Secured Party shall (nor shall they direct the Collateral Trustee to) oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the
Collateral Trustee, the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the
value of the Term Loan Liens on the Shared Collateral; provided that if the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party shall have made any claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses in respect of the Revolver
Obligations, such claim (i) shall have been approved or (ii) will be approved contemporaneously with the approval of any such claim by the Collateral Trustee, the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party and, to the extent the Term Loan
Secured Parties receive any payment on account of such claims for post-petition interest in respect of the Term Loan Obligations and the Revolver Secured Parties are not entitled to or do not receive payment on account of their claims for
post-petition interest, the amounts received by the Term Loan Secured Parties on account of post-petition interest shall be delivered to the Revolver Agent for application pursuant to Section 8.01 unless otherwise consented to the by the Revolver
Agent.
 (k) Without the express written consent of the Revolver Agent, none of the Collateral Trustee, the Term Loan Agent or any other
Term Loan Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) oppose, object to or contest the
determination of the extent of any Liens held by the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any Revolver Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) oppose, object to or contest the
payment to the Collateral Trustee 

  
 38 

 
on behalf of the Revolver Secured Parties of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Without the express written consent of the Term Loan Agent, none of the
Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any
Grantor, oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any Term Loan Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made
that any Lien encumbering any Shared Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Term Loan Agent for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any
Shared Collateral (including assets that would constitute Shared Collateral but for such determination) shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Revolver Secured Parties in the
same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Term Loan Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or
recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Trustee, and any
officer or agent of the Collateral Trustee, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Term Loan Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6.02(l) and taking any action and executing any
instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.02(l), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. 

(m) The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, hereby agrees that the Revolver Agent shall have the
right to (or to instruct the Collateral Trustee on its behalf) credit bid the Revolver Obligations and further that none of the Collateral Trustee, the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any
third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be) oppose, object to or contest such credit bid by the Revolver Agent. The Term Loan Secured Parties may credit bid, or instruct the Collateral Trustee to credit bid the Term Loan
Obligations in accordance with Sections 363(k) or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, only if such bid includes a cash payment sufficient to provide for the Discharge of Revolver Obligations and the Discharge of Revolver
Obligations occurs immediately after giving effect to such credit bid, or if the Revolver Agent otherwise consents in writing. 
 (n) The
Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party waives any right to assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code as against the Collateral Trustee, any Revolver Secured Party or any
of the Shared Collateral. 
 (o) The Borrower, each Grantor, the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent (on behalf of each Revolver Secured
Party) and the Term Loan Agent (on behalf of each Term 

  
 39 

 
Loan Secured Party) acknowledges and intends that the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolver Documents, on the one hand, and the Term Loan Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and
distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing priority in right of recovery on the Shared Collateral with respect to the Proceeds of the Shared Collateral under Section 8.01, each of the Revolver Obligations, on
the one hand, and the Term Loan Obligations, on the other hand, are fundamentally different from one another and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed or confirmed (or
approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of any of the Revolver Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the
Term Loan Secured Parties, on the other hand, constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree (i) to vote to reject such plan of reorganization or
similar dispositive restructuring plan unless the Revolver Secured Parties holding greater than half in number and two-thirds in amount of the Revolver Obligations agree to accept such plan or such plan provides for the Discharge of Revolver
Obligations, (ii) that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of Revolver Obligations and Term Loan Obligations against the Grantors, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate
value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other secured parties), the Revolver Secured Parties, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal,
prepetition interest and other claims, Post-Petition Interest, before any distribution is made in respect of the Term Loan Obligations (or any claims, including in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses, related thereto) from, or with
respect to, such Shared Collateral, with each holder of the Term Loan Obligations (and/or any claim, post-petition interest, fees or expenses, related thereto) hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Revolver Secured Parties amounts
otherwise received or receivable by them from, or with respect to, such Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing their aggregate recoveries. The Revolver
Agent (on behalf of all Revolver Secured Parties) and the Term Loan Agent (on behalf of all Term Loan Secured Parties) each hereby agree it shall not object to or contest (or support any other party in objection or contesting) a plan of
reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan on the grounds that the Revolver Obligations and Term Loan Obligations are classified separately. 

Section 6.03 Reinstatement. If any Revolver Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to
turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”) for any reason whatsoever, then the Revolver Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Revolver Secured Parties shall be
entitled to a reinstatement of Revolver Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. The Collateral Trustee and the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party agree that if, at any time, a Term Loan
Secured Party receives notice of any Recovery, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Loan Agent and each other Term Loan Secured Party, shall promptly pay over to the Revolver Agent any payment that is not permitted hereunder to be received by the Term
Loan-Secured Parties received by it and then in its possession or under its control in respect of any Shared Collateral and shall promptly turn any Shared Collateral then held by it over to the Revolver Agent (or in the instance of the Collateral
Trustee any such Shared Collateral held by it for the Term Loan Secured Parties shall thereafter 

  
 40 

 
be held for the Revolver Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with Section 8.01), and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been
made. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to any such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the
obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof that is not permitted hereunder to be received by the Term Loan Secured Parties (or the Collateral Trustee for the Term Loan Secured
Parties) received by the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee) and then in its possession or under its control on account of the Term Loan Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the
event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.03, be held in trust for and paid over to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Revolver Secured Parties for application to the reinstated Revolver Obligations until the
discharge thereof. This Section 6.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 6.04 Refinancings; Additional Term Loan
Debt. 
 (a) The Revolver Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations may be Replaced, by any Revolver Substitute Credit Facility or Term
Loan Substitute Credit Facility, respectively, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Priority Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, that (i) the
Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent shall receive on or prior to incurrence of a Revolver Substitute Credit Facility or Term Loan Substitute Credit Facility (A) an Officers’ Certificate from the Borrower stating that
(I) the incurrence thereof is permitted by each applicable Priority Debt Document and (II) the applicable requirements of this Section 6.04, have been satisfied, and (B) a Priority Confirmation Joinder executed by the holders or lenders of any
indebtedness that Replaces the Revolver Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations (or an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on their behalf) and (ii) on or before the date of such incurrence, such Revolver Substitute Credit Facility or
Term Loan Substitute Credit Facility is designated by the Borrower, in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent, as “Revolver Debt” or “Term Loan Debt”, as
applicable, for the purposes of the Priority Debt Documents and this Agreement; provided that no series of Priority Debt may be designated as more than one of Revolver Debt or Term Loan Debt. 

(b) The Borrower will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Term Loan Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes,
the registered holder of Term Loan Debt, incurred by the Borrower after the date of this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent, permitted and otherwise in accordance with the terms of all applicable Priority Debt Documents. The
Borrower may effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent each of the following: 

(i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Borrower intends to incur Additional Term Loan Obligations which will be
Term Loan Debt permitted to be incurred by each applicable Priority Debt Document and secured by a Term Loan Lien, equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Term Loan Debt; 

  
 41 

 (ii) an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on behalf of the
holders or lenders of any Additional Term Loan Obligations must be designated as an additional holder of Priority Obligations hereunder and must, prior to such designation, sign and deliver on behalf of the holders or lenders of such Additional Term
Loan Obligations a Priority Confirmation Joinder, and, to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate such transaction, a new collateral trust agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof. 

(iii) evidence that the Borrower has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each
appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations deemed necessary by the Borrower and the holder of such Additional Term Loan Obligations, or its Priority Debt Representative, to ensure that the Additional Term Loan Obligations
are secured by the Shared Collateral in accordance with the Term Loan Security Documents (provided that such filings and recordings may be authorized, executed and recorded following any incurrence on a post-closing basis if permitted by the Term
Loan Agent for such Additional Term Loan Obligations). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to
allow the Borrower or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable Priority Debt Document. 

(c) Each of the then-existing Collateral Trustee, Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent shall be authorized to execute and deliver such
documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such holders, lenders, agent, trustee or other representative may reasonably request to give effect to any such Replacement or any incurrence of Additional Term Loan
Obligations, it being understood that the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent or (if permitted by the terms of the applicable Priority Debt Documents) the Grantors, without the consent of any other Priority Secured Party
or (in the case of the Grantors) one or more Priority Debt Representatives, may amend, supplement, modify or restate this Agreement to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate such amendments or supplements to effect such Replacement or
incurrence all at the expense of the Grantors. Upon the consummation of such Replacement or incurrence and the execution and delivery of the documents and agreements contemplated in the preceding sentence, the holders or lenders of such
indebtedness and any authorized agent, trustee or other representative thereof shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 

Section 6.05 Amendments to Priority Debt Documents. (a) Prior to the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, and except as permitted by the
Revolving Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of the Revolver Agent, no Term Loan Document may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified and/or refinanced or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement,
restatement or modification and/or refinancing, or the terms of any new Term Loan Document would (i) adversely affect the payment priority rights of the Revolver Secured Parties or the rights of the Revolver Secured Parties to receive payments owing
pursuant to the Revolver Documents, (ii) modify any existing rights or confer any additional rights on the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party in a manner adverse to the Revolver Secured Parties (including by (A) increasing the
interest rate or yields 

  
 42 

 
therein by more than 3% per annum, (B) adding mandatory prepayments or shortening the maturity date therein, in each case in contravention of the Revolver Credit Agreement), or (iii) contravene
the provisions of this Agreement or the Revolver Credit Agreement (including such that the Term Loan Obligations would no longer qualify as permitted indebtedness under Section 10.1(s) of the Revolver Credit Agreement). 

(b) The Term Loan Secured Parties agree to amend the Term Loan Credit Documents as directed by the Revolver Agent, provided such amendment
shall only amend the Term Loan Documents to correspond to any revisions made to the Revolver Credit Documents relating to the Shared Collateral; provided however, any amendment or modification that requires the consent of all affected Term Loan
Secured Parties shall require the consent of all affected Term Loan Secured Parties. 
 (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall supersede the
provisions set forth in Section 10.1(s) of the Revolver Credit Agreement (or any successor provision thereto). 
 (d) To the extent the
consent of the Priority Lien Agent is required to an amendment, supplement, restatement or other modification to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such consent shall only be provided if both the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent agree in
writing to such amendment, supplement, restatement or other modifications. 
 Section 6.06 Legends. The Term Loan Agent acknowledges
with respect to the Term Loan Security Documents, that the Term Loan Documents (other than control agreements to which the Collateral Trustee is a party), and each associated Term Loan Security Document (other than control agreements to which the
Collateral Trustee is a party) granting any security interest in the Shared Collateral will contain the appropriate legend set forth on Annex I or a legend in such other form acceptable to the Revolver Agent. 

Section 6.07 Term Loan Secured Parties Rights as Unsecured Creditors; Judgment Lien Creditor. Both before and during an Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Term Loan Secured Parties may take, or instruct the Collateral Trustee, on their behalf, to take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims;
provided, however, that the Term Loan Secured Parties may not instruct the Collateral Trustee to take, nor shall they take any of the actions prohibited by Section 5.01, Section 5.05(a), Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 or any other
provisions of this Agreement; provided, further that in the event that any of the Collateral Trustee or Term Loan Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of
the Term Loan Secured Patties’ rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Term Loan Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Revolver Obligations) as
the Term Loan Liens are subject to this Agreement. 
 Section 6.08 Postponement of Subrogation. The Term Loan Agent, for itself
and on behalf of each other Term Loan Secured Party, hereby agrees that no payment or distribution to any Revolver Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Term Loan Secured Party to exercise any rights of
subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of 

  
 43 

 
Revolver Obligations, but subject to the reinstatement as provided in Section 6.03, each Revolver Secured Party will execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as any Term Loan Secured
Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Revolver Obligations resulting from payments or distributions to such Revolver Secured Party by such Person, so long as all costs and
expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by such Revolver Secured Party are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. 

Section 6.09 Acknowledgment by the Secured Debt Representatives. Each of the Revolver Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other
Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges that this Agreement is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has relied on this
Agreement to amend the Original Revolver Credit Agreement, to permit the incurrence of the Term Loan Debt and to enter into the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, as applicable, and all documentation related thereto, and that each will continue to
rely on this Agreement in their related future dealings. 
 ARTICLE VII 

GRATUITOUS BAILMENT FOR PERFECTION OF CERTAIN SECURITY INTERESTS 

Section 7.01 General. Each of the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien on any
Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any Account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such Account is in fact in the possession or under the control of
the Collateral Trustee or the Revolver Agent, the Collateral Trustee or the Revolver Agent, as the case may be, will serve as gratuitous bailee (a) in the case of the Collateral Trustee, for the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent and (b) (a) in
the case of the Revolver Agent, for the Collateral Trustee, for the sole purpose of perfecting the Revolver Lien and the Term Loan Lien on such Shared Collateral. It is agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver
Agent and the rights of the Revolver Agent, the other Revolver Secured Parties, the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties in connection with any such bailment arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of Article
IV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent will be deemed to make no representation as to the adequacy of the steps taken by it to perfect the Revolver Liens or the Term Loan Lien on any such
Shared Collateral and shall have no responsibility, duty, obligation or liability to the Revolver Agent, the other Revolver Secured Parties, the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party or any other Person for such perfection or failure
to perfect, it being understood that the sole purpose of this Article is to enable the Collateral Trustee to obtain a perfected Lien in such Shared Collateral to the extent, if any, that such perfection results from the possession or control of such
Shared Collateral or any such Account by the Collateral Trustee or the Revolving Agent. The Collateral Trustee or the Revolver Agent acting pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not have by reason of the Revolver Security Documents, the Term Loan
Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document or theory, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Revolver Agent, Revolver Secured Party, the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party. Subject to Section 6.03, from and after
the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent shall take all 

  
 44 

 
such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the Term Loan Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or control of such Shared Collateral or any
such Account (in each case to the extent the Term Loan Agent has a Lien on such Shared Collateral or Account after giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the Term Loan Agent for the benefit of all Term Loan Secured Parties.

 Section 7.02 Deposit Accounts. Each of the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent will act as gratuitous bailee on behalf
of (a) in the case of the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent and (b) in the case of the Revolver Agent, the Collateral Trustee, for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan
Secured Parties, respectively, in such Accounts and the cash and other assets therein as provided in Section 7.01 (but will have no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Revolver Secured Parties or the Term Loan Secured Parties (including,
without limitation, any duty, responsibility or obligation as to the maintenance of such control, the effect of such arrangement or the establishment of such perfection) except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 7.02). Unless the Term
Loan Liens on such Shared Collateral shall have been or concurrently are released, after the occurrence of Discharge of Revolver Obligations, the Collateral Trustee and the Revolver Agent shall, at the request of the Term Loan Agent, cooperate with
the Grantors and the Term Loan Agent (at the expense of the Grantors) in permitting control of any other Accounts to be transferred to the Term Loan Agent (or for other arrangements with respect to each such Accounts satisfactory to the Term Loan
Agent to be made).

Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, Shared Collateral or Proceeds received or payable (x) in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any portion of the Shared Collateral or (y) pursuant to a plan
of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, will be applied: 
 (a) first, to the payment of all amounts payable
under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee’s fees and expenses and any reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Trustee or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral
Trustee in connection with any Security Document, including but not limited to amounts necessary to provide for the expenses of the Collateral Trustee in maintaining and disposing of the Collateral (including, but not limited to, indemnification
payments and reimbursements); 
 (b) second, to the Revolver Agent for application to the Revolver Obligations in accordance with the
Revolver Documents, until the Discharge of the Revolver Obligations has occurred, 

  
 45 

 (c) third, to the Term Loan Agent for application to the Term Loan Obligations in

 (d) fourth, to the
Borrower or as otherwise required by the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or by applicable law. 
 Section 8.02 Determination of
Amounts. Whenever a Priority Debt Representative (other than the Collateral Trustee) shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its (or the Collateral Trustee’s) rights or the performance of its (or the Collateral
Trustee’s) obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Revolver Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Revolver Obligations), or Term Loan Obligations, or the existence of
any Lien securing any such obligations, or the Shared Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Priority Debt Representative (other than the Collateral Trustee) and shall be
entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if such Priority Debt Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the
requesting Priority Debt Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. Each Priority
Debt Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and
shall have no liability to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, any Priority Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.

NO LIABILITY; OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE; CONSENT OF GRANTORS; ETC. 
 Section 9.01 No Reliance; Information. The Revolver Secured
Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have no duty to disclose to any Term Loan Secured Party or to any Revolver Secured Party, respectively, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the other Grantors, or any other circumstance
bearing upon the risk of non-payment of any of the Revolver Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, respectively, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any of their Affiliates. In the event any Revolver Secured Party or any Term
Loan Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to, any Term Loan Secured Party or any Revolver Secured Party, respectively, it shall be under no obligation (a) to make, and
shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of the information so provided, (b) to provide any additional information or
to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion or (c) to undertake any investigation.

 50 

 will become effective when executed and delivered by the Borrower or any other applicable Grantor party thereto

effective without the consent of (I) with respect to clause (A), the Required Revolver Lenders, (II) with respect to clause (B), the Required Term Loan Lenders and (III) with respect to clauses (C) and (D), the Required Priority Lenders; and 

(iii) no amendment or supplement that imposes any obligation upon the Collateral Trustee or any other Priority Debt
Representative or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Trustee or any other Priority Debt Representative, respectively, in its individual capacity as such will become effective without the consent of the Collateral Trustee or such other
Priority Debt Representative, respectively. 
 (c) Notwithstanding Section 11.02(b) but subject to Section 11.02(b)(ii) and Section
11.02(b)(iii): 
 (i) any mortgage or other Security Document may be amended or supplemented with the approval of the
applicable Grantor (if otherwise required) and the Collateral Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Controlling Priority Debt 

  
 51 

 
Representative), unless such amendment or supplement would not be permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Priority Debt Document; 

(ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent under, any provision of any Security Document that secures Priority Obligations
will apply automatically to any comparable provision of any comparable Security Document without the consent of or notice to any holder of Priority Obligations and without any action by the Borrower, any Grantor or any holder of Priority
Obligations; and 
 (iii) any mortgage or other Security Document may be amended or supplemented with the approval of the
applicable Grantor (if otherwise required) and the Collateral Trustee (but without the consent of or notice to any holder of Priority Obligations and without any action by any holder of Priority Obligations) (A) to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, or (B) to make other changes that do not have an adverse effect on the validity of the Lien created thereby or the rights or interests of the Persons secured thereby. 

Section 11.03 Actions Upon Breach; Specific Performance. (a) Prior to the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, if any Term Loan Secured
Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Grantor or the Shared Collateral, such Grantor, with the prior written consent of the Revolver Agent, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea
the making of this Agreement, and the Collateral Trustee and any Revolver Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Grantor. 

(b) Prior to the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, should any Term Loan Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt
to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or take any other action in violation of this Agreement or fail to take any action
required by this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Grantor) or the relevant Grantor, with the prior written consent of the Revolver Agent, (A)
may obtain relief against such Term Loan Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Term Loan Agent on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party that (I) the
Revolver Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (II) each Term Loan Secured Party waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the Revolver Secured Parties cannot
demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages, and (B) shall be entitled to damages, as well as reimbursement for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action to enforce the provisions
of this Agreement.

which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 11.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 Section 11.08
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW

jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively
do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.08. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.01. Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

provisions of any Priority Debt Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 
 Section 11.12 Provisions Solely to Define
Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the distinct and separate relative rights of the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured
Parties. None of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 6.01, Section 6.02, or
Section 6.05) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the Original Revolver Credit Agreement or the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, as applicable), and except as expressly provided in this Agreement neither the
Borrower nor any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Section 6.01, Section 6.02, Section 6.04, or Section 6.05, ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE IX and ARTICLE XI). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the
obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations under the Priority Debt Documents as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any Priority Debt Document, the Grantors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting pursuant to this Agreement, any Revolver Document or any Term Loan Document with respect to any Shared Collateral in
any manner that would cause a default under any Revolver Document. 
 Section 11.13 Certain Terms Concerning the Revolver Agent and the
Term Loan Agent. Neither the Revolver Agent nor the Term Loan Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the actions or omissions of any other Priority Secured Party, or for any other Priority Secured Party’s compliance with
(or failure to comply with) the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Revolver Agent or the Term Loan Agent shall have individual liability to any Person 

  
 54 

 
if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to any Priority Secured Party (or the Borrower) any amounts in violation of the terms of this Agreement, so long as the Revolver Agent or the Term
Loan Agent, as the case may be, is acting in good faith. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that each of the Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity under the Revolver
Documents and the Term Loan Documents, respectively, and not in its individual capacity. The Revolver Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party and the Term Loan Agent shall
not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Revolver Agent or any other Revolver Secured Party. Nothing herein shall be deemed to modify the terms of the Revolver Documents or Term Loan Documents, as applicable, governing the standard of
care as between the Revolver Agent and the other Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively. 

Section 11.14 Authorization of Secured Agents. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the other Revolver Security
Documents, each Revolver Secured Party authorizes the Revolver Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on its behalf hereunder and in connection herewith. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the other Term Loan Security
Documents, each Term Loan Secured Party authorizes the Term Loan Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on its behalf hereunder and in connection herewith. 

Section 11.15 Further Assurances. Each of the Collateral Trustee, for itself, the Revolver Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
other Revolver Secured Party and the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, and each Grantor party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries, agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be
executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent or the Term Loan Agent may reasonably request,
to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein. 
 Section 11.16 Relationship of
Secured Parties. Nothing set forth herein shall create or evidence a joint venture, partnership or an agency or fiduciary relationship among the Priority Secured Parties. None of the Priority Secured Parties nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible to any other Priority Secured Party or to any other Person for any Grantor’s solvency, financial condition or ability to repay the Revolver Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations,
or for statements of any Grantor, oral or written, or for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Revolver Documents or the Term Loan Documents, or any security interests granted by any Grantor to any Priority Secured Party in connection
therewith. Each Priority Secured Party, as applicable, has entered into its respective financing agreements with the Grantors based upon its own independent investigation, and neither of the Revolver Agent nor the Term Loan Agent makes any
warranty or representation to the other Priority Debt Representatives or the Priority Secured Parties for which it acts as agent nor does it rely upon any representation of the other agents or the Priority Secured Parties for which it acts as agent
with respect to matters identified or referred to in this Agreement. 
 Section 11.17 Grantors and Additional Grantors. Each
Grantor represents and warrants that it has duly executed and delivered this Agreement. The Borrower will cause each 

  
 55 

 
subsidiary of the Borrower that hereafter becomes a Grantor or is required by any Priority Debt Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes
of this Agreement, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a Collateral Trust Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as
of the date hereof. The Borrower shall promptly provide each Priority Debt Representative with a copy of each Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 11.17; provided that the failure to so deliver a copy of the
Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Priority Debt Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Grantor if the other requirements of this Section 11.17 are complied with. 

Section 11.18 Compensation; Expenses. The Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay, promptly upon demand: 

(a) such compensation to the Collateral Trustee and its agents including attorneys as the Borrower and the Collateral Trustee may agree in
writing from time to time; 
 (b) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Trustee and its agents including attorneys in
the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recordation, administration or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Security Document or any consent, amendment, waiver or other modification relating hereto or thereto; 

(c) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of legal counsel and any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers or other
professional advisors and agents engaged by the Collateral Trustee or any Priority Debt Representative incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, closing, administration, performance or enforcement of this Agreement and the other
Security Documents or any consent, amendment, waiver or other modification relating hereto or thereto and any other document or matter requested by the Borrower or any Grantor; 

(d) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Trustee and its agents in creating, perfecting, preserving, releasing or
enforcing the Collateral Trustee’s Liens on the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, and title insurance premiums; 

(e) all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Trustee and its agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation
and execution of the Security Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby or the exercise of rights or performance of obligations by the Collateral Trustee thereunder; and

 (f) after the occurrence of any default under a Priority Debt Document, all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Trustee, its
agents and any Priority Debt Representative in connection with any Enforcement Action subject to the Security Documents or any interest, right, power or remedy of the Collateral Trustee or in connection with any Enforcement Action or the proof,
protection, administration or resolution of any claim based upon the Priority Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, including all fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other
professionals engaged by the Collateral Trustee, its agents or the Priority Debt Representatives. 

  
 56 

 The agreements in this Section 11.18 will survive repayment of all other Priority Obligations and the removal or
resignation of the Collateral Trustee and termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 11.19 Indemnity. 

(a) The Grantors jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Collateral Trustee, each Priority Debt
Representative, each Priority Debt Secured Party and each of their respective Affiliates and each and all of the directors, officers, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents, and (in each case) their respective heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Indemnified
Liability to the extent such Indemnified Liability is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. THIS INDEMNITY COVERS
ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES. 
 (b) All amounts due under this Section 11.19 will be payable within 10 days upon
written demand. 
 (c) To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in Section 11.19(a) may be
unenforceable in whole or in part because they violate any law or public policy, each of the Grantors will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. 
 (d) Each Grantor agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for any lost profits or special, indirect or consequential damages or (to the fullest extent a claim for punitive damages may lawfully be waived) any punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement or any other Priority Debt Document or any agreement or instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating in any respect to any Indemnified Liability, and each of the Grantors hereby forever waives, releases and agrees not to sue
upon any claim for any such lost profits or special, indirect, consequential or (to the fullest extent lawful) punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 

(e) The agreements in this Section 11.19 will survive repayment of all other Priority Obligations and the removal or resignation of the
Collateral Trustee and termination of this Agreement.

the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing
statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties,

interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral
Trustee in completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such

Issuer and (ii) Stock of any Disregarded Entity substantially all of whose assets consist of Stock or Stock Equivalents of Foreign Corporate Subsidiaries, if less, 66% of the outstanding Stock and Stock Equivalents of such entity (such percentages
to be adjusted upon any change of law as may be required to avoid adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Borrower or any Subsidiary). 

  
 6 

 (b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. 
 (c) To the knowledge of the applicable Grantor, each of the Pledged Notes constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder,
free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances. 

3.6 Receivables. (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any
Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Collateral Trustee if such delivery is required under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

proceedings with potential value in the reasonable judgment of such Grantor in excess of $25,000,000. 
 (b) Upon the filing of a financing
statement covering any Commercial Tort Claim referred to in Section 4.7 hereof against such Grantor in the jurisdiction specified in Schedule 3 hereto, the security interest granted in such Commercial Tort Claim will constitute a valid perfected
security interest in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor
and any Persons purporting to purchase such Collateral from Grantor, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens on such Collateral except for Permitted Encumbrances.

 Each
Grantor covenants and agrees with the Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until Facility Termination: 
 4.1
Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper. If amounts payable in excess of an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 under or in connection with any of the Collateral (other than promissory notes issued in connection

Subsidiary controlled by such Grantor; provided that neither such Grantor nor any Restricted Subsidiary controlled by such Grantor shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim that is being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management of such Grantor or Restricted Subsidiary controlled by such Grantor, as applicable) with respect thereto to the extent required
by, and in accordance with, GAAP or the failure to pay or discharge would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described in Section 3.2 and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (other than Permitted Encumbrances),

additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or

bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral Trustee and the Term Loan Agent promptly in writing

all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Trustee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such
Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the
Collateral Trustee may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment
Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Trustee in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other
payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Trustee. 
 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral
Trustee. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with 

  
 12 

 
respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, at the written request of the Collateral Trustee all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash,
checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the
Collateral Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Trustee in a Collateral
Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Trustee in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as
collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5. 
 5.5
Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Term Loan Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Term Loan Agent’s election, the
Collateral Trustee will deliver to the Term Loan Agent all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and the Term Loan Agent may apply such Proceeds in payment of the Obligations in in accordance
with the provisions of Article X of the Term Loan Agreement. 
 5.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to
the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other Requirement of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may
in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or
any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Trustee or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions
as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and
released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places which the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such
Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Trustee and the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every

  
 13 

 
kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Trustee and the
Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section 5.5, and only after such application and after the payment
by the Collateral Trustee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Trustee or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, account for the surplus, if
any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.
If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 

5.7 Registration Rights. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any
or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result
in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Trustee
shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws,
even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 
 (b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant
contained in this Section 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no
Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement. 
 5.8 Subordination. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Term Loan Agent, all Indebtedness owing by it to any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of
such Grantor’s Obligations. 
 5.9 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 

  
 14 

 SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE 

6.1 Collateral Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney -in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Collateral Trustee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such
Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Trustee the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to (to the extent permitted by law) or assent by such
Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 
 (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession
of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court
of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; 

(ii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; 

(iii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.6 or 5.7, any indorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and 
 (iv) (1) direct any party liable for any
payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Trustee or as the Collateral Trustee shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and
receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in 

  
 15 

 
respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or
proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Trustee may deem appropriate; and (7) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral
as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which
the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do. 
 Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Trustee agrees that
it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) (other than pursuant to clause (ii) thereof) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Trustee, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
 (c) The expenses of
the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of
past due ABR Loans (as defined in any Term Loan Supplement) under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee on
demand. 
 (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers,
authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 

6.2 Duty of Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Trustee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral
Trustee, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation
to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee and the
Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests 

  
 16 

 
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. 
 6.3 Execution of Financing
Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee (or its designee) to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral
without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Trustee or the Term Loan Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement. Each Grantor
authorizes the Collateral Trustee (or its designee) to use the collateral description “all personal property” (or any other reasonable designation including with lesser scope or greater detail as determined by the Collateral Trustee) in
any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Trustee (or its designee) of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. 

6.4 Authority of Collateral Trustee. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Trustee
under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Term Loan Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time
to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no
Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS 

7.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except in accordance with the Credit Agreement, including Section 12.1 of the Term Loan Agreement. 
 7.2 Notices. All
notices, requests and demands to or upon Term Loan Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 12.2 of the Term Loan Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor
shall be addressed to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.01 of the Collateral Trust
Agreement. 

  
 17 

 7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral
Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or
Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Trustee or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised
singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 7.4 Enforcement Expenses;
Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Collateral Trustee, and each other Secured Party for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement, the other Credit Documents to which such Grantor is a party and any such other documents to which such Grantor is a party (with respect to attorney costs, limited to
the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local outside counsel in each material jurisdiction for all Persons,
taken as a whole (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person with such conflict may retain its own outside counsel)). 

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with
respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. 
 (c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify and to save the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties harmless from,
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Sections 11.11(a) or 12.5 of the Term Loan Agreement. The Collateral Trustee acknowledges its appointment as a subagent to act with respect to
the Collateral and the Security Documents pursuant to Section 11.11(a) of the Term Loan Agreement. 
 (d) The agreements in this Section 7.4
shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 

  
 18 

 7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Agent. 
 7.6 [Reserved.] 

7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 

7.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 7.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 

7.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee
and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof
not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents. 
 7.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

7.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which
it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, County of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern
District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof; 
 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such
courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 

  
 19 

 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a
copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 7.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Trustee shall have been notified
pursuant thereto; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by
Requirements of Law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; 
 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law,
any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 7.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; and 

(f) agrees that a final judgment in any 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. 
 7.13 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is
a party; 
 (b) neither the Collateral Trustee nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Trustee and other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties. 
 7.14
Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Term Loan Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and
delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto. 
 7.15 Releases. (a) At the time of
Facility Termination, all security interests and Liens in all Collateral and all obligations under all the Credit Documents shall be automatically released and discharged (whether or not on the date of such release there may be any contingent or
indemnification obligations not then due), and the Collateral Trustee shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required, advisable or reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence or
otherwise more fully effect the foregoing, provided, however, that such 

  
 20 

 
Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any
Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 (b) If any of the Collateral
shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, all security interests and Liens in such Collateral created by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be automatically
released and discharged, and the Collateral Trustee, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably
necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral, in each case as provided in the Credit Agreement. 

7.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 
 7.17 Subject to Intercreditor
Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject to each of the Intercreditor Agreements and (b) the exercise of
any right or remedy by the Collateral Trustee hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of each of the Intercreditor Agreements. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this
Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control at any time that such conflicting Intercreditor Agreement is in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Trustee acknowledges and
agrees that no Grantor shall be required to take or refrain from taking any action at the request of the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Collateral if such action or inaction would be inconsistent with the terms of any of the Intercreditor
Agreements. 
 7.18 Capacity of Collateral Trustee. 

(a) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligations or liabilities to any Grantor or Secured Party under the Credit Documents other than
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Security Documents.
 (b) The Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
recording, filing or registration of this Security Agreement or any other instrument in addition or supplemental thereto, or to give any notice thereof, or to see to the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any tax or assessment or other
governmental charge which may be levied or assessed on the Collateral, or any part thereof, or against the Grantors, or to see to the performance or observance by the Grantors of any of the covenants and

  
 21 

 
agreements contained herein. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of this Security Agreement or of any instrument in addition or
supplemental hereto or for the sufficiency of the security purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights of the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right to
advise with counsel upon any matters arising hereunder and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel. The Collateral Trustee shall not incur any liability hereunder except for the Collateral Trustee’s
own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence; and the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by
it in good faith to be genuine. 
 (c) The Collateral Trustee may resign as set forth in Section 11.11(b) of the Credit Agreement. 

(d) It is acknowledged and agreed by each Grantor and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of this Security Agreement and the other Security
Documents) that the Collateral Trustee, in exercising any discretionary power granted to it under any Credit Document, including this Security Agreement, to the extent there is a corresponding or substantially similar provision in the Revolving
Credit Agreement or any other “Credit Document” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) is authorized and instructed by the Lenders, to exercise, and shall be protected from any liability whatsoever by exercising, such discretionary
power in the same manner as the Revolving Agent has exercised or is exercising its discretionary power with respect to such corresponding or substantially similar provision. The Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on a certificate of an
Authorized Officer specifying the discretionary power the Revolving Agent has exercised or is exercising with respect to such corresponding or substantially similar provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, for the avoidance of doubt, any
release of Liens on the Collateral must be in accordance with Section 12.16 of the Credit Agreement. 

  
 22 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Security Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

Lender” and, collectively, the “Class A Lenders”), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Term Agent”) for the Lenders. 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Term Agent entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement of even date herewith (as amended and restated from time to
time, the “Base Term Loan Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Base Term Loan Agreement as

WHEREAS, the Class A Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrower such credit upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth

the Supplemented Term Loan Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 
 1.1
Defined Terms. 
 (a) Any term defined in the preamble has the meaning ascribed to it in the preamble. 

(b) Any capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set forth in the Base Term Loan Agreement. In addition, as used in

1.00% per annum; provided that, if the applicable interest rate as determined under any of the preceding provisions of this definition is less than 2.00% per annum, then “ABR” shall be deemed to be equal to 2.00% per annum for such
determination. The “prime rate” is a rate set by the Reference Bank based upon various factors, including its costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some
loans, which may be priced at, above, or 

 
below such announced rate. Any change in the ABR due to a change in such rate announced by the Reference Bank, in the Federal Funds Effective Rate or in the one-month LIBOR Rate shall take

 “ABR Loan” shall mean

respect to any ABR Loan and 7.50% with respect to any LIBOR Loan.

to prepayment or repayment of such Class A Loan or the subject of acceleration on such Make-Whole Payment Date, plus (B) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the principal amount that is subject to prepayment or repayment
of such Class A Loan, or the subject of acceleration, to but excluding the Second Anniversary, calculated assuming that such Class A Loan continued to bear interest at the rate, and on the interest payment date schedule, applicable on the Class A
Closing Date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points per annum discounted on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis, over (ii) the principal amount that is subject to prepayment or repayment, or the
subject of acceleration, of such Class A Loan on such Make-Whole Payment Date. 
 “Borrowing” shall mean the incurrence of
one Type of Loan on a given date (or resulting from a conversion on a given date); provided that ABR Loans incurred pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall be considered part of any related Borrowing of LIBOR Loans. 

“Class A Closing Date” shall mean August 23, 2016.

 CLASS A
COMMITMENTS AND LOANS 
 2.1 Class A Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemented Term
Loan Agreement, the initial Class A Lender agrees to make Loans in Dollars (each, a “Class A Loan”) to the Borrower on the Class A Closing Date, in a principal amount equal to such Class A Lender’s Class A Commitment, which
shall be disbursed in a single advance as LIBOR Loans with a three-month Interest Period on the Class A Closing Date. Such Class A Loans may thereafter, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans
or LIBOR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Supplement; provided that all Class A Loans shall consist entirely of Class A Loans of the same 

  
 4 

 
Type. The initial Class A Lender’s Class A Commitment shall terminate immediately after giving effect to such advance by such Class A Lender. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect
of the Class A Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 2.2 Disbursement of Funds. Section 2.2 of the Base Term Loan Agreement is
modified to read as follows with respect to the Class A Loans: 
 (a) The initial Class A Lender will make available the Class A Loans on
the Class A Closing Date in the manner provided below. 
 (b) On the Class A Closing Date, the initial Class A Lender shall make available
to the Borrower such Class A Lender’s Class A Commitment in immediately available funds in Dollars, and the initial Class A Lender shall disburse the same in accordance with written instructions of the Borrower provided to such Class A Lender
prior to such disbursement. 
 2.3 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) It is understood that (a) no Class A Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Class A Lender in its obligation to make
Class A Loans pursuant to the Supplemented Term Loan Agreement and that each Class A Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Class A Loans provided to be made by it thereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Class A
Lender to fulfill its commitments thereunder, and (b) failure by a Class A Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents to which it is a party shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any
Credit Document. 
 (b) Except as specified herein or in the Base Term Loan Agreement, including in Section 12.6(g) thereof, each repayment
by the Borrower in respect of principal or interest on the Class A Loans and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable under the Supplemented Term Loan Agreement shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Class A
Lenders entitled thereto pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts then due and owing to the Class A Lenders. 
 2.4
Interest. 
 (a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest on any date until maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus the ABR in effect on such date. 
 (b) The unpaid principal
amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on any date during an Interest Period applicable thereto until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the
LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period. 
 (c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Class A Loan or (ii) any interest payable
thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is (A) in the case of overdue principal, the rate
that would otherwise be 

  
 5 

 
applicable thereto plus 2.00% per annum or (B) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.4(a)
plus 2.00% per annum, in each case from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 

(d) Interest on each Class A Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof
and shall be payable in Dollars; provided that any Class A Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan,
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each November, February, May and August, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three
months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) upon any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C)
after such maturity, on demand. 
 (e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.4. 

(f) The Term Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Class A
Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

2.5 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or
conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Term Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the
option of the Borrower, be a period of one, two, three or six months. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above: 

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; 

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for
which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; 

(c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and 
 (d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period
in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Class A Maturity Date. 

  
 6 

 2.6 Conversions and Continuations. 

(a) Subject to the restrictions in this Supplement, (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all of the
outstanding principal amount of the Class A Loans of one Type into a Borrowing of the other Type and (ii) at a time when the Class A Loans are LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue all of the outstanding
principal amount of such Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (A) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Term Agent has or
the Class A Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion and (B) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date
of the proposed continuation and the Term Agent has or the Class A Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by
giving the Term Agent at the Term Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (1) in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans, at least three Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such proposed continuation or conversion or (2) in
the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, on the same day of the effectiveness of such proposed conversion, a Notice of Conversion or Continuation specifying that the Class A Loans are to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be
converted into or continued and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto. 
 (b) If any Event of Default is
in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Term Agent has or the Class A Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically
converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to convert or continue such LIBOR Loans as provided in clause (a)
above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of three months effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period; provided that if Section 2.6(a) or Section
2.5(d) would prohibit the election of such an Interest Period, then the Borrower (if it has not acted as provided in clause (a) above) shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to ABR Loans. The Term Agent shall
give each Class A Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting the Class A Loans. 

2.7 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.. 

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Class A Majority Lenders or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii) below, any Class A Lender, shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): 

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of the Class A Loans are
not generally available in the relevant market or (B) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Class A Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on
the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or 

  
 7 

 (ii) that, due to a Change in Law occurring at any time after the Class A Closing Date, which
Change in Law shall (A) 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 by, any Class A Lender, (B)
subject any Class A Lender to any Tax with respect to any Credit Document or any Class A Loan made by it (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under the Base Term Loan Agreement or (ii) Excluded Taxes), or (C) impose on any Class A Lender or the
London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting the Supplemented Term Loan Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Class A Lender, which results in the cost to such Class A Lender of making, converting into, continuing or
maintaining LIBOR Loans increasing by an amount which such Class A Lender reasonably deems material or the amounts received or receivable by such Class A Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be reduced; or 

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Class A Lender in
good faith with any Requirement of Law (or would conflict with any such Requirement of Law not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful); 

then, and in any such event, such Class A Lenders (or the Term Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give
notice to the Borrower and to the Term Agent of such determination (which notice the Term Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Class A Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be
available until such time as the Term Agent notifies the Borrower and the Class A Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Term Agent no longer exist (which notice the Term Agent agrees to give at such time when such
circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall
pay to such Class A Lender, promptly (but no later than 15 Business Days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable
hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Class A Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly
demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.7(b) as promptly as possible and, in any
event, within the time period required by applicable Requirements of Law. 
 (b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.7(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iii), shall) either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan has been

  
 8 

 
requested but not yet made, cancel such Borrowing request by giving the Term Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Class A Lender pursuant to
Section 2.7(a)(ii) or (iii) or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Term Agent, convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Class A
Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Class A Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.7(b). 

(c) If, after the Class A Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any Lender or compliance
by any Class A Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring after the Class A Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Class A Lender’s or
its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Class A Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Class A Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than 15 Business Days) after written demand by such Class A
Lender (with a copy to the Term Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Class A Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Class A Lender
shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Class A Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any applicable Requirement of Law as in effect on the Class A Closing Date (except as
otherwise set forth in the definition of Change in Law). Each Class A Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(c), will give prompt written notice
thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.10, release or
diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) upon receipt of such notice. 

2.8 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other
than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.10, 4.2 or 4.3 or Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 12.7 of the Base Term Loan Agreement, as a
result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article XI of the Base Term Loan Agreement or for any other reason, (b) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation,
(c) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (d) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to
Section 4.2 or 4.3 or Section 4.1 or 4.2 of the Base Term Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall, after the Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such Class A Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
for requesting such amount and shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error), pay to the Term Agent (within 15 Business Days) for the account of such Class A Lender any amounts required to compensate such Class A Lender for any
additional losses, costs or expenses that such Class A Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits)
actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Class A Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. 

  
 9 

 2.9 Change of Lending Office. Each Class A Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.7(a)(ii), 2.7(a)(iii) or 2.7(c) or Section 4.3 of the Base Term Loan Agreement with respect to such Class A Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Class A Lender) to designate another lending office for any Class A Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Class A
Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Class A Lender in connection with any such designation. Nothing in this Section 2.9 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Class A Lender provided in Section 2.7(a)
or Section 4.3 of the Base Term Loan Agreement. 
 2.10 Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Supplement to
the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.7 or 2.8 or Section 4.3 of the Base Term Loan Agreement is given by any Class A Lender more than 120 days after such Person has knowledge (or should have had knowledge)
of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Person shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.7 or 2.8
or Section 4.3 of the Base Term Loan Agreement, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing on or prior to the 120th day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to
such claim is retroactive, then such 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

ARTICLE III 
 FEES

 3.1 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Term Agent the fees (if any) of the Term Agent with respect to the Class A
Loan, in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in writing from time to time between the Term Agent and the Borrower. 
 ARTICLE IV

 PAYMENTS 
 4.1
Maturity. All principal of and accrued interest on the Class A Loans shall be finally due and payable on the Class A Maturity Date. 

4.2 Voluntary Prepayments. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Class A Loans, in whole or in part from time to time in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Section 4.2. If, prior to the Fourth Anniversary, the Borrower prepays all or any part of the principal balance of the Class A Loans, then on the Make-Whole Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Class A Lender
of the Class A Loans that are so prepaid, in addition to the principal of such Class A Loans and accrued interest thereon to but excluding the Make-Whole Payment Date, an amount 

  
 10 

 
equal to the Make-Whole Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, and as a result of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, it is understood and agreed that
any Make-Whole Amount shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Class A Lender as a result of the early termination of the Class A Loans, and the Borrower agrees that such amounts shall constitute Obligations under the
Supplemented Term Loan Agreement. With respect to any prepayment of the Class A Loans on or after the Fourth Anniversary, the Make-Whole Amount shall be zero. 

(b) The Borrower shall give the Term Agent at the Term Agent’s Office written notice of its intent to make such prepayment and the amount
of such prepayment, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Term Agent to each of the Lenders. 

(c) Each partial prepayment of Class A Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. 

(d) With respect to each prepayment of Class A Loans elected under this Section 4.2, each prepayment of Class A Loans shall be applied
pro rata among the Class A Loans.
 4.3 Mandatory Prepayment. Class A Loans shall not be subject to any mandatory
prepayment, or mandatory offer to prepay, requirements other than as provided for in Section 4.1 of the Base Term Loan Agreement; provided that with respect to any mandatory prepayments of Class A Loans pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of the Base
Term Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to each Class A Lender of the Class A Loans that are so prepaid prior to the Fourth Anniversary, in addition to the principal of such Class A Loans and accrued interest thereon to but not including the
Make Whole Payment Date, an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount. 
 4.4 Computations of Interest and Fees. Interest on Class A
Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; provided that interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Reference Bank’s prime rate and interest
on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

Loans, or used to reimburse the Borrower for funds used for such purpose within 90 days prior to the incurrence of such junior priority Loans. 

9.2 Anti-Layering. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the other Credit Parties to, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is contractually subordinate or junior in ranking in right of payment to any other Indebtedness, unless such Indebtedness is contractually subordinate or junior in ranking in right of payment to the Class
A Loans; provided that indebtedness permitted under Section 9.1 and Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Base Term Loan Agreement may, to the extent provided in Section 9.1(a), have priority in the payment of Foreclosure Proceeds over
the Class A Loans. 
 ARTICLE X 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 10.1
Events of Default. In addition to the Events of Default described in the Base Term Loan Agreement, the following shall constitute “Events of Default” in respect of the Class A Loans: 

(a) The Borrower shall default in the due performance or observance by it of any term, covenant or agreement contained Article IX
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the agreement of the Borrower not to enter into any other Term Loan Supplement with an order of payment of Foreclosure Proceeds contravening the order of payment of Foreclosure Proceeds permitted by this
Supplement); 

  
 13 

 (b) The Borrower shall default in the due performance or observance by it of any other term,
covenant or agreement contained in this Supplement and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of at least 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof by the Borrower from the Term Agent; or 

(c) (i) The Borrower shall default in any payment with respect to any Class of Loans (other than the Class A Loans) with an outstanding
principal balance in excess of $125,000,000, beyond the grace period, if any, provided in the Base Term Loan Agreement or any Term Loan Supplement applicable to such Loans or (ii) any such Loans shall be declared to be due and payable, or shall be
required to be prepaid, defeased or redeemed prior to the stated maturity thereof, other than (A) as a result of a regularly scheduled required prepayment or as a mandatory prepayment and (B) Loans that become due as a result of a Disposition
(including as a result of a Casualty Event) of the property or assets securing such Loans permitted under the Base Term Loan Agreement and this Supplement. 

10.2 Order of Foreclosure Proceeds. As provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Base Term Loan Agreement, the Borrower may designate the
order of application of Foreclosure Proceeds in any Term Loan Supplement, so long as the order of application in any new Term Loan Supplement does not contravene the order of application in any prior Term Loan Supplement then in effect. This
Supplement provides that the Foreclosure Proceeds may be applied to the Class A Loans after application to other Loans and Side-Car Loans with terms providing for such application, if each such other Loan and Side-Car Loan satisfied Section
9.1(a) and Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Base Term Loan Agreement on the date of its incurrence. This Supplement provides that Foreclosure Proceeds may be applied to the Class A Loans and other Loans and Side-Car Loans, pro rata, if
such other Loans and Side-Car Loans had terms providing for such application and each such other Loan and Side-Car Loan satisfied Section 9.1(b) and Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Base Term Loan Agreement on the date of its incurrence. This
Supplement provides that Foreclosure Proceeds may be applied to other Classes of Loans and Side-Car Loans after Foreclosure Proceeds have been applied to the Class A Loans, if each such other Loan and Side-Car Loan satisfied Section 9.1(c)
and Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Base Term Loan Agreement on the date of incurrence thereof. 
 10.3 Premium. In the event the
maturity of the Class A Loans shall be accelerated as a result of any Event of Default, the amount becoming due and payable shall include, in addition to principal and accrued interest, an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount at the time of such
acceleration. EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
SUCH ACCELERATION. 
 ARTICLE XI 

THE ARRANGERS 

Notwithstanding anything in the Term Loan Agreement to the contrary, no Person identified on the cover page of this Supplement as a Joint Lead
Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Term Loan Agreement other than those applicable to all Class A Lenders as such (to the extent
such Person is a Class A Lender).

consent of each Class A Lender; 
 provided, further, that any provision of this Supplement may be amended by an
agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Term Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Class

 15 

 
the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Class A Lenders and the Term Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and any Default or Event of Default under this
