Section 2.01    Advances; Mechanics. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII hereof), the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, Common Shares on the following terms:
(a)Advance Notice.  At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require the Investor to purchase Shares by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, and in accordance with the following provisions: 
(i)The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the amount of the Advance, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, it desires to issue and sell to the Investor in each Advance Notice and the time it desires to deliver each Advance Notice.   
(ii)There shall be no mandatory minimum Advances and no non-usages fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount or any part thereof. 
(b)Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. Advance Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A. An Advance Notice shall be deemed delivered on (i) the day it is received by the Investor if such notice is received by email on or before 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A, or (ii) the immediately succeeding day if it is received by email after 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, in each case in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A.  
(c)Advance Limitations. Regardless of the amount of an Advance requested by the Company in the Advance Notice, the final number of Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance Notice shall be reduced in accordance with each of the following limitations:  
(i)Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor will inform the Company of the amount of shares the Investor currently beneficially owns. In no event shall the number of Common Shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Investor and its Affiliates as a result of previous issuances and sales of Common Shares to Investor under this Agreement to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of the Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such

Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the amount of the Advance requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.  
(ii)Registration and Exchange Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount registered under the Registration Statement then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”) or the Exchange Cap, to the extent applicable. In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation or the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.
(d)Minimum Acceptable Price. 
(i)With respect to each Advance Notice, the Company may notify the Investor of the MAP with respect to such Advance by indicating a MAP on such Advance Notice. If no MAP is specified in an Advance Notice, then no MAP shall be in effect in connection with such Advance. Each Trading Day during a Pricing Period for which (A) with respect to each Advance Notice with a MAP, the VWAP of the Common Shares is below the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP (each such day, an “Excluded Day”), shall result in an automatic reduction to the amount of the Advance set forth in such Advance Notice by one-third (the resulting amount of each Advance being the “Adjusted Advance Amount”), and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price.
(ii)The total Shares in respect of each Advance (after reductions have been made to arrive at the Adjusted Advance Amount) shall be automatically increased by such number of Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor on such Excluded Day, if any, and the price paid per share for each Additional Share shall be equal to the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice (without any further discount), provided that this increase shall not cause the total Advance to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c).
(e)Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Law and (ii) subject to Section 3.08 (Trading Activities), the Investor may sell Common Shares during the Pricing Period.

Section 2.02    Closings. The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Shares related to each Advance (each, a “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable on or after each Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below.  The parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price is not known at the time the Advance Notice is delivered (at which time the Investor is irrevocably bound) but shall be determined on each Closing based on the daily prices of the Common Shares that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price as set forth further below. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below: 
(a)On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the aggregate proceeds to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b)Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Shares (as set forth in the Settlement Document) in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Common Shares by the Investor, the Common Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering such Common Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Common Shares in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption).
(c)On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein. 
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period.

the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Investor will only be liable for written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor; or (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor(s) contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor.

Section 5.03    Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Article V except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim.

No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any

settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due.
Section 5.04    Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of three years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or Applicable Law, no party shall be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article V (other than claims for any damages resulting from fraud) until the aggregate amount of all such damages that would otherwise be indemnifiable to such party equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), at which time such party shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all damages (including all damages incurred prior to exceeding the Basket).
Section 5.05    Limitation of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to recover from the other party for punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. During the Commitment Period, the Company shall notify the Investor promptly if (i) the Registration Statement shall cease to be effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the Common Shares shall cease to be authorized for listing on the Principal Market, (iii) the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (iv) the Company fails to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of it as a reporting company under the Exchange Act.  
(d)Filing Procedures. Not less than one business day prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and not less than one business day prior to the filing of any related amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement (except for any amendments or supplements caused by the filing of any annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports), the Company shall furnish to the Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act) will be subject to the reasonable and prompt review of the Investor (in each of which cases, if such document contains material non-public information as consented to by the Investor pursuant to Section 6.13, the information provided to Investor will be kept strictly confidential until filed and treated as subject to Section 6.08). The Investor shall furnish comments on a Registration Statement and any related amendment and supplement to a Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours of the receipt thereof. If the Investor fails to provide comments to the Company within such 24-hour period, then the Registration Statement, related amendment or related supplement, as applicable, shall be deemed accepted by the Investor in the form originally delivered by the Company to the Investor.
(e)Delivery of Final Documents. The Company shall furnish to the Investor without charge, (i) at least one copy of each Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents

incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) at the request of the Investor, at least one copy of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Common Shares owned by the Investor pursuant to a Registration Statement. Filing of the forgoing with the SEC via its EDGAR system shall satisfy the requirements of this section.
(f)Amendments and Other Filings. The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the related prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Commitment Period.
(g)Blue-Sky. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, if required by Applicable Law, (i) register and qualify the Common Shares covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Commitment Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Commitment Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Common Shares for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.01(f), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Common Shares for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
Section 6.02    Suspension of Registration Statement. 
(a)Establishment of a Black Out Period.  During the Commitment Period, the Company from time to time may suspend the use of the Registration Statement by written notice to the Investor in the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the Registration Statement or prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Black Out Period”).

In addition, the Company shall not deliver any Advance Notice during any Black Out Period.

Section 6.06    Transfer Agent Instructions. For any time while there is a Registration Statement in effect for this transaction, the Company shall (if required by the transfer agent for the Common Shares) cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Shares (with a copy to the Investor) instructions to issue Common Shares to the Investor free of restrictive legends upon each Advance if the delivery of such instructions are consistent with Applicable Law.
Section 6.07    Corporate Existence. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company during the Commitment Period.

The Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Advance Notice, and the Company shall not sell any Shares pursuant to any pending Advance Notice (other than as required pursuant to Section 2.02(d)), during the continuation of any of the foregoing events (each of the events described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, a “Material Outside Event”).

Banks party hereto), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent further acknowledging that amending the Existing Credit Agreement by reference to the Consolidated Form Credit Agreement provides a convenience
to such parties to permit the amended terms to be read in full context), and that this Amendment is not a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or of any credit facility provided thereunder or in respect thereof. For
ease of review, the original signature pages have been removed from the Consolidated Form Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding that the cover page of the Consolidated Form Credit Agreement is dated “as of November 2, 2017” and
Section 5.1 of the Consolidated Form Credit Agreement attached hereto contains those conditions which were applicable to the initial Closing Date of November 2, 2017, the changes to the Existing Credit Agreement
effected by this Amendment shall be effective as of the satisfaction or waiver to the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment. 

b. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits attached to the Existing Credit Agreement are
hereby amended so that, as amended, such Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits shall read as set forth in, and shall have the terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions of, the Consolidated Form Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits, the terms,
covenants, conditions and other provisions of which Consolidated Form Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment as if fully set forth herein. The Company, the Banks (including the Existing Banks party
hereto), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent acknowledge and agree that each amendment to the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits attached to the Existing Credit Agreement reflected in the Consolidated Form
Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits is and shall be effective as if individually specified in this Amendment (the Company, the Banks (including the Existing Banks party hereto), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Monitoring Agent further acknowledging that amending the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits to the Existing Credit Agreement by reference to the Consolidated Form Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits provides a convenience to such parties to permit the
amended terms to be read in full context), and that this Amendment is not a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or of any credit facility provided thereunder or in respect thereof.

 2. Joinder of the New Banks; Applicable Tranche Commitments. 

a. By its execution of this Amendment, each New Bank hereby confirms and agrees that, as of the Amendment Effective Date, it shall be and
become a party to the Credit Agreement as a “Bank” and shall have all of the rights and be obligated to perform all of the obligations of a “Bank” thereunder with the Applicable Tranche Commitment equal to the amount set forth on
Schedule 1.1 in the Consolidated Form Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits (as from time to time adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement). Each New Bank hereby (i) represents and warrants that (A) it has full power
and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to be become a Bank under the Credit Agreement, (B) it meets all requirements to be a Bank
assignee under Section 11.1(c) and (f) of the Credit Agreement (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required under Section 11.1(c) of the Credit Agreement) and is not any Person described in
Section 11.1(g) of the Credit Agreement, (C) from and after the Amendment Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Bank thereunder and, to the extent of the assets of the type
represented by its Applicable Tranche Commitment shall have the obligations of a Bank thereunder, (D) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to acquire assets of the type represented by the Applicable Tranche Commitment and either it, or
the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to acquire the Applicable Tranche Commitment, is experienced in acquiring assets of such type, (E) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits
attached thereto together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 thereof, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit and legal
analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment (and to incur the rights and obligations as a Bank under the Credit Agreement), (F) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Monitoring Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment; and (G) if it is a Foreign Bank, it has delivered to the
Administrative Agent any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, duly completed and executed by the undersigned; and (ii) agrees that (A) it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit and legal decisions in taking or
not taking action under the Credit Agreement or any other document entered into in connection with the Loans thereunder, and (B) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement
and such other documents are required to be performed by it as a Bank, and (iii) makes for itself, as of the date hereof, the representation and warranty concerning each Bank set forth in Section 11.17 of the Credit Agreement. On and
after the Amendment Effective Date, all references to “Banks” in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include the New Banks. 

b. Simultaneously with the Amendment Effective Date, the parties hereby agree that (i) the Applicable Tranche Commitment of each of the
Banks shall be as set forth in Schedule 1.1 in the Consolidated Form Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits, and the outstanding amount of the Loans (the “Outstanding Loans”), if any (without giving effect to any Advances of Loans
under the Credit Agreement on the Amendment Effective Date, but after giving effect to any repayment or reduction thereof with the proceeds of any applicable sources) shall be 

  
 3 

 
reallocated in accordance with such Applicable Tranche Commitments, and the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts among the Banks and from each Bank to each other Bank,
with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable Assignment Agreements, but without the payment of any related assignment fee or the execution of any Assignment Agreements. On the Amendment Effective Date, the Banks
shall make full cash settlement with one another with respect to the Outstanding Loans and outstanding Applicable Tranche Commitments, and with any exiting Bank, either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may
direct or approve, with respect to all assignments, reallocations and other changes in Applicable Tranche Commitments, such that after giving effect to such settlements the Applicable Tranche Commitment of each Bank as of the Amendment Effective
Date shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1 in the Consolidated Form Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits.

d. The Agents shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable under the Fee Letters on or prior to the date hereof (including,

constitute a Loan Document. 
 4. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and each Bank to enter into this Amendment, the Company represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and each Bank as follows: 

a. At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth
in Article VI of the Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already qualified by materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date) and (ii) no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. 

b. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity
(whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 5. Entire Agreement. This Amendment,
together with the Credit Agreement, including the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits thereto, Amendment No. 15 to Security and Pledge Agreement, the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Reaffirmation Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), sets forth the entire understanding and 

  
 6 

 
agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to such subject matter. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree to the terms of and the entering into of Amendment No. 15 to Security and Pledge Agreement. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any
party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or
commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to any other party in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or otherwise,
except in writing and in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
 6. Full Force and Effect of
Agreement. Except as hereby specifically amended, modified or supplemented, the Credit Agreement, including the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits thereto, is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and shall be and remain in full
force and effect according to its terms. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Bank or any Agent under any of the Loan
Documents, nor, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. 
 7.
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart.
Delivery of an executed signature page by facsimile or email shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that Article XIV of the Credit Agreement regarding Communications and Electronic
Signatures is applicable to this Amendment. 
 8. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal or New York state court sitting in New York, New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Amendment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. This Amendment shall be further subject to the provisions of
Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement. 
 9. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER. 

10. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Amendment 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 enforceability 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. 

  
 7 

 11. References. All references to the “Credit Agreement” in
the Loan Documents (other than the Credit Agreement), and all references to the “Agreement” in the Credit Agreement, shall mean the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended hereby and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time. All references to the “Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits to the Credit Agreement” in the Loan Documents (other than the Credit Agreement) shall mean the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits to the Existing Credit
Agreement, as amended hereby.

benefit of the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Banks and their respective successors and assigns to the extent such successors and assigns are permitted as provided in

effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company at “fair value” as

Section 1.4(c). The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent, as applicable, shall communicate such calculations to the Company and the other such Agent (the Collateral Monitoring Agent or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable) promptly after such determination of such U.S. Dollar Equivalent amounts. Such U.S. Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent employed in

(a) The Discounted Value of the Collateral shall be monitored by, and all calculations of “Discounted Value” or “Borrowing
Base” contemplated by the Loan Documents shall be determined by the Collateral Monitoring Agent; provided that, in making any such determination, the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall be entitled (i) to conclusively rely, without
any independent investigation or inquiry, on any respective Custodian’s calculations of Market Value which are provided to the Collateral Monitoring Agent in the manner agreed to by the Collateral Monitoring Agent in the applicable Control
Agreement or other applicable Collateral Document and (ii) in the case of any Gold Warrant or Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant, to conclusively rely, without any independent investigation or inquiry, on a description of the amount and
characteristics of gold subject to such Gold Warrant or Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant, as applicable, or other data provided to the Collateral Monitoring Agent by the applicable Custodian. The Collateral Monitoring Agent shall not be liable
for any failure or delay by any Custodian to provide such calculations, so long as the Collateral Monitoring Agent has used its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Custodian to do so, nor shall the Collateral Monitoring Agent be liable for
any errors in any Custodian’s calculations. Upon the request of the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Monitoring Agent in obtaining such calculations from the applicable
Custodians. If any Custodian fails or is delayed in providing such calculations, the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall provide such calculations; provided that such Custodian has delivered to the Collateral Monitoring Agent a list of the
assets and amounts thereof and other data, in each case, required to be delivered under the terms of the relevant Control Agreement or other applicable Collateral Document (upon which the Collateral Monitoring Agent may conclusively rely, without
any independent inquiry or investigation). With respect to any asset, if any Custodian fails to deliver, in accordance with the relevant Control Agreement or other applicable Collateral Document, any information deemed reasonably necessary by the
Collateral Monitoring Agent for the Collateral Monitoring Agent to calculate the Market Value of such asset, the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall value such asset held by such Custodian at zero (0) for purposes of its calculations. The
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, without any independent investigation or inquiry, on any such calculations made by the Collateral Monitoring Agent which are provided (either directly or through the
Collateral Agent) to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) On each Borrowing Date, the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall determine the Market
Value of the Collateral securing the Loans to be made on such date in accordance with Section 1.4(a). On each subsequent Business Day on which there is an outstanding Advance, the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall determine
the Borrowing Base on and as of such date in accordance with Section 1.4(a), and, in each case, shall promptly (and in any event on or before 12:00 noon (New York time on such day)) advise and notify (which may be by
telephone, provided that written confirmation thereof shall promptly follow) the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of each such determination. 

(c) Each calculation of the Discounted Value of any Collateral denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall include the
U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such Discounted Value. For purposes of determining such U.S. Dollar Equivalent as of any date, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent as of the most recent Revaluation Date shall be used to calculate the Market Value of
the Collateral Pool as of the date of determination. 
 Section 1.5 Change of Currency. Each obligation of the Company to make a
payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption. If, in relation to the
currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest 

  
 30 

 
expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the
Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. Each
provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably determine to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any
relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Company of any changes of construction pursuant to the preceding two sentences hereof. 

Section 1.6 Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative
Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates comprising any “Applicable Reference Rate” or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection
of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Successor Rate
Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including,
without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Company. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or
services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Company, any Bank or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses
or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any
such information source or service. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDIT 

Section 2.1 Revolving Credit Loans. 

(a) Through and including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (i) each Bank with an Applicable Tranche Commitment under an Applicable
Tranche severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make revolving loans under such Applicable Tranche (“Revolving Loans”) to the Company from time to time in amounts not to exceed in the aggregate
for each such Applicable Tranche at any one time outstanding, the amount of its Applicable Tranche Commitment under such Applicable Tranche and (ii) each Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank severally may, in its sole discretion and on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, make swingline loans under any Applicable Tranche (“Swingline Loans”) to the Company from time to time and in such amounts as such Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank shall determine at the
time of each request by the Company for a Swingline Loan; provided, however, that no Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the aggregate outstanding principal of all Loans would
exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (B) the aggregate outstanding principal of all Applicable Tranche Revolving 

  
 31 

 
Loans with respect to any Applicable Tranche would exceed the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitment for such Applicable Tranche, (C) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Revolving Loans in an Alternative Currency would exceed the Applicable Alternative Currency Sublimit, or (D) the aggregate outstanding principal of the Loans would exceed the Borrowing Base. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company
may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans at any time up to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) a Loan can be a Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) the provision of Swingline Loans by any Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank under an Applicable Tranche shall be in addition to, and shall not relieve such Bank from its obligation to make Revolving Loans
under such Applicable Tranche ratably in proportion to the amount of its Applicable Tranche Commitment. The obligations of any Bank to make Revolving Loans hereunder shall cease at 5:01 p.m. (New York City time) on the Revolving Credit Termination
Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no Bank shall have any obligation to become an Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank and make Swingline Loans, (ii) any determination by an Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank to make a specific Swingline
Loan shall not obligate the same Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank to make any other Swingline Loan and (iii) the Company’s ability to request such Swingline Loans shall cease at 5:01 p.m. (New York City time) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (“Affiliate Funding Bank”) may at its option elect to fund any loan through any foreign or domestic branch of such Bank or such Affiliate
(“Funding Affiliate”) of such Bank (and shall provide notice of any change in funding office to the Administrative Agent by delivering an amended Administrative Questionnaire, which change in funding office shall be effective within
5 Business Days or less of delivery of such amended Administrative Questionnaire). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any Funding Affiliate nor the exercise of any Funding Affiliate of such option shall increase the
costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligation of the Company under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) no Funding Affiliate shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
Agreement for which an Affiliate Funding Bank would be liable, (iii) the Affiliate Funding Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iv) the Affiliate Funding Bank shall
remain solely responsible for the performance under this Agreement, (v) the Company and each Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Affiliate Funding Bank in connection with the Affiliate Funding Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent will forward Bank Notices regarding borrowings of Alternative Currencies directly to Funding Affiliates specifically identified for receipt of such notices in the
respective Affiliate Funding Bank’s Administrative Questionnaire) and (vi) the Affiliate Funding Bank shall for all purposes, retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, waiver or other modification of any
provision of any Loan Document. The making of a Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan under any Applicable Tranche by a Funding Affiliate hereunder shall utilize the Applicable Tranche Commitment of such Affiliate Funding Bank to the same extent, and
as if, such Loan were made by such Affiliate Funding Bank. 
 (b) With respect to any Advance requested hereunder to be made in any
particular currency (the “Specified Currency”) at any time, (x) in the event there are no other outstanding Advances at such time or the only outstandings at such time are in the Specified Currency, the Company shall allocate
such Advance across all Applicable Tranches which contain such currency on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Loans available to be made in such currency under each such Applicable Tranche; provided that no such allocation with respect to a
Multiple Timeline Currency shall be required to be made to or from Tranche I and (y) in the event there are outstanding Advances in currencies other than the Specified Currency at such time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to the extent practicable (taking into account the minimum denominations required for Advances and the Company’s need for Loans in Alternative Currencies) to allocate Advances hereunder such that, after giving pro forma effect to each such
Advance and any payments thereof, the percentage of unused 

  
 32 

 
Applicable Tranche Commitments under each Applicable Tranche relative to the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments are approximately equal; provided that, (1) no such allocation
with respect to a Multiple Timeline Currency shall be required to be made to or from Tranche I and (2) the failure to maintain such approximately equal percentages referenced in this clause (y) shall not be a Default or an Unmatured
Default hereunder. 
 Section 2.2 Ratable Loans. Each Advance under an Applicable Tranche shall consist of Revolving Loans made
from the several Applicable Banks who have Applicable Tranche Commitments under such Applicable Tranche, ratably in proportion to the amounts of their respective Applicable Tranche Commitments on the date of such Advance, or of Swingline Loans made
from the Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks agreeing to make any specific Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans. 
 Section 2.3
Repayment of Advances. 
 (a) Each Advance under an Applicable Tranche and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and
payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Applicable Bank making such Advance thirty-five (35) days after such Advance is made or, if earlier, the Revolving Credit Termination Date (any such date, a “Loan Maturity
Date”), except in the case of a Test Draw which shall be repaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof and except as provided in Section 2.4. 

(b) Each then outstanding Advance and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 Section 2.4 Reborrowing of Advances. No Applicable Tranche Revolving Loan may be made hereunder to repay any Advance under
any Applicable Tranche without the consent of (a) the Required Applicable Banks under the Applicable Tranche from which such Revolving Loan is made and (b) the Required Applicable Banks under the Applicable Tranche to which the repayment
is to be made, except that Revolving Loans under an Applicable Tranche may be made to repay any outstanding Swingline Loan under such Applicable Tranche (in which case such Revolving Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and
payable to the Administrative Agent on the original Loan Maturity Date of such Swingline Loan). 
 Section 2.5 Optional Principal
Payments. Provided that the Company gives the Administrative Agent notice of any prepayment, which notice shall be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall be delivered no later than the Prepayment Notice Deadline, the Company
may prepay, without premium or penalty, all or a portion of any outstanding Advance under any Applicable Tranche at any time on any Business Day; provided further, that interest shall accrue on such amount being prepaid until the next
Business Day if such payment is received after the Applicable Prepayment Time on the date of payment. Repayment of principal pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

Section 2.6 Mandatory Principal Payments. (a) On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal of the Loans exceeds
the Borrowing Base (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4), the Company shall immediately repay Loans in the amount of such excess or pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, additional Collateral in
the Collateral Pool under the Collateral Documents as necessary to cure such deficiency, without the necessity of any notice or demand. 

(b) [Reserved]. 

  
 33 

 (c) On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal of the Loans, taken together,
exceeds the Aggregate Commitments, the Company shall repay Loans in the amount of such excess without the necessity of any notice or demand. 

(d) On any Revaluation Date which is a Business Day on which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Loans under any Applicable Tranche exceeds the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments then in effect, then, the Company shall repay Revolving Loans under such Applicable Tranche and/or Swingline Loans under such Applicable Tranche, as the Company
shall select, in the amount of such excess by (i) 5:45 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day the Company receives written notice of such excess from the Administrative Agent (the “Excess Notice Date”) if the Company receives
notice from the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Excess Notice Date or (ii) on the next Business Day, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) after the Company receives notice of such excess if the Company
receives notices from the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Excess Notice Date. 
 (e) On any Business Day
after giving effect to any requested Loan, or on any Business Day when Loans are outstanding, on which the Borrowing Base is less than the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars as of such
day and (ii) 105% of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as of such day, then, the Company shall, upon written notice from the Administrative Agent, pledge
additional Collateral or prepay Loans in any Applicable Tranche at the option of the Company (or do any combination of the foregoing) as necessary to cure such deficiency (or in the event of any such requested Loan, instruct the Administrative Agent
to return the proceeds of the requested Loan to the applicable Banks or, in the event such pledge of such additional Collateral is made as of such Business Day, hold such funds in the Administrative Agent’s Office until the time of such
pledge). 
 Repayment of any such excess amount shall be applied first, to prepay outstanding Swingline Loans in the Applicable Tranche selected by
the Company, and second, to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans in the Applicable Tranche selected by the Company, in each case in the direct order of their respective maturities and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

 Section 2.7 Adjustments of Commitments. 

(a) Adjustments by the Company. The Company may permanently reduce the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments under any Applicable
Tranche, in whole or in part ratably among the Applicable Banks, in proportion to the amounts of their respective Applicable Tranche Commitments at any time upon written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that,
(i) subject to Sections 2.7(b) or 2.12, the amount of the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments may not be reduced below the outstanding principal amount of the Advance(s) under such Applicable Tranche, and (ii) a notice
of termination of any Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Company may also, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), request that any Bank
under an Applicable Tranche (x) convert all or a part of such Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitments under such Applicable Tranche into Applicable Tranche Commitments under (1) a different then existing Applicable Tranche or (2) a
new Additional Applicable Tranche requested by the Company or (y) provide for additional currencies under such Applicable Tranche (provided that in the event any requested currency in such Applicable Tranche or Additional Applicable Tranche, as
the case may be, is not U.S. Dollars, such currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely 

  
 34 

 
transferable and convertible into U.S. Dollars), so long as, in any case, there are no outstanding Loans under either impacted Applicable Tranche or Additional Applicable Tranche at the time of
such conversion. Each Bank shall notify the Company within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Company’s request, in writing, if and by what amount such Bank is willing, in its sole discretion, to so convert its Applicable Tranche
Commitments or add additional currencies under an Applicable Tranche. Notwithstanding the foregoing, anything else provided herein or otherwise, if any Bank shall fail to notify the Company within such five (5) Business Day period, such Bank
shall be deemed to have declined such requested conversion or addition. In the case of any Additional Applicable Tranche or additional currencies under an Applicable Tranche, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks of any
such Additional Applicable Tranche or additional currencies approved as contemplated hereby and, the Applicable Reference Rate, Applicable AA Funds Delivery Deadline, Applicable Alternative Currency Sublimit, Applicable Bank Funding Deadline,
Applicable Borrower Notice Deadline and Applicable Payment Time, which such provisions shall be, in each case, (subject to the consent of the Company and those Banks who have agreed to convert commitments into such Additional Applicable Tranche or
add additional currencies) and the currencies to be provided thereunder (any such notice, as “Additional Tranche/Currency Confirmation”) which such Additional Tranche/Currency Confirmation shall be deemed to modify Annex II with
such additional information as applicable. 
 (b) Adjustments by Banks for Accelerated Termination. If any Applicable Tranche
Commitment of a Bank hereunder is terminated pursuant to Section 2.12, the Company shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such termination (“Accelerated Termination Notice”) and
shall state the amount of such terminating Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment so terminated (“Terminated Commitment”) in the Accelerated Termination Notice. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of the
Accelerated Termination Notice to each remaining Bank (each a “Non-Terminating Bank”). Each Non-Terminating Bank shall notify the Company, in writing,
on or before the second Business Day after the date the Accelerated Termination Notice is received by such Non-Terminating Bank, if and by what amount such Bank is willing in its sole discretion to increase
its Applicable Tranche Commitment (in the case such Bank has an Applicable Tranche Commitment under the Impacted Tranche at such time) or provide for such Applicable Tranche Commitment (in the case such Bank does not already have an Applicable
Tranche Commitment under the Impacted Tranche at such time) (as applicable), which amount shall be equal to all or some portion of the Terminated Commitment (each, a “2.7(b) Notice”). Any
Non-Terminating Bank that fails to so notify the Company on or before such second Business Day shall be deemed to have declined to increase or provide any such Applicable Tranche Commitment. If offers to
increase or provide any such Applicable Tranche Commitments are made by two or more Non-Terminating Banks in an aggregate amount greater than the aggregate amount of the Terminated Commitment, such Non-Terminating Banks and the Company hereby agree that such offers shall be allocated as nearly as possible in proportion to the aggregate amount of such offers, so that the aggregate amount thereof will not exceed
the amount of the Terminated Commitment. On or before the third Business Day after the date of the Accelerated Termination Notice, the Company shall notify Administrative Agent and each Non-Terminating Bank of
the amount, if any, by which each such Non-Terminating Bank’s Commitment has been increased or provided, which amount shall not exceed the amount of such
Non-Terminating Bank’s offer to increase or provide such Applicable Tranche Commitment in such Bank’s 2.7(b) Notice. All increases or provisions of Applicable Tranche Commitments by the Banks under
this Section 2.7(b) shall become effective on the terminating Bank’s Accelerated Termination Date or on such later date on which the Company shall notify Administrative Agent and each
Non-Terminating Bank of the amount, if any, by which each such Non-Terminating Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment has been increased or provided in accordance
with this Section 2.7(b) (“2.7(b) Effective Date”). The Company shall promptly upon request deliver to each Non-Terminating Bank whose Applicable Tranche Commitment
has been increased or provided pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) a new Note reflecting (if requested by such Non-Terminating Bank) such
Non-Terminating Bank’s new Applicable Tranche Commitment. Each such Bank whose Applicable Tranche 

  
 35 

 
Commitment is terminated as contemplated hereby shall promptly, after repayment to such Bank of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) owing to such
Bank on the 2.7(b) Effective Date, return to the Company such Bank’s superseded Note(s), as applicable. Each such Non-Terminating Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts with
respect to the Applicable Tranche affected by the termination contemplated by this Section in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other applicable Banks in the respective Applicable
Tranche, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such commitment increase, the outstanding Loans (and risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans) in the respective Applicable Tranche to be held ratably by all Applicable
Banks in the respective Applicable Tranche in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (as revised by such increase) and the Company shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed the outstanding applicable Loans in the respective
Applicable Tranche as of the 2.7(b) Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans in the respective Applicable Tranche ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Applicable
Tranche Commitments contemplated hereby. 
 Section 2.8 Fees. 

(a) From the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date to and including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Banks in each Applicable Tranche a commitment fee of 10/100 of 1% per annum (on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and for actual days elapsed) on the daily amount of the excess of
(i) the amount of the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments under each such Applicable Tranche over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans (excluding any Swingline Loans, provided that in the event the
participating interests in all Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans outstanding on such date have been fully funded in accordance with Section 2.14(a), the Applicable Tranche Swingline Exposure of each Applicable Bank under
each such Applicable Tranche shall not be excluded from such aggregate principal amount or, in the event that such participating interests are not fully funded, only the participating interests acquired and so partially funded by such Bank in
accordance with Section 2.14(a) in respect of any such outstanding Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans shall not be excluded from such aggregate principal amount), payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of
the Company hereafter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. 

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Banks the fees in the amounts and at the times set
forth on Schedule 2.8. 
 (c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the
Collateral Agent, for each of their respective accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Company. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral
Agent or Collateral Monitoring Agent, in the case of such fees payable to the Collateral Agent or Collateral Monitoring Agent). The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of the Banks to the Banks in
accordance with their respective pro rata shares thereof. 
 Section 2.9 Collateral. 

(a) The Obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Loans and all other Loan Documents shall be secured, in each case, by the
Collateral Pool, in accordance with the Collateral Documents. 

  
 36 

 (b) The Company may at any time (including after a Notice of Exclusive Control has been
delivered) direct the Collateral Agent, in writing, to permit (and upon such direction, which shall be deemed a certification by the Company that such withdrawal, transfer or replacement is not prohibited hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall
permit) the replacement of any Clearing Member Security or Company Security credited to any Securities Account, or any Money Fund Share subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any FX Account Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral

subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any FX Account Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any Gold Bullion subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Bullion Security Agreement, or any Other Deposit
Account Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any Gold Warrant subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent or any
Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent or any other Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent; provided that: 

(i) at any time when there are one or more outstanding Advances, after giving effect to any such replacement, transfer or
withdrawal, the aggregate principal amount of all the remaining Loans outstanding as of the date of such replacement, transfer or withdrawal shall not exceed the Borrowing Base as of the date of such replacement, transfer or withdrawal (such
Borrowing Base determined by the Company and confirmed to the Company by the Collateral Agent (with the Collateral Agent’s determination controlling in the event of any discrepancy)); 

(ii) at any time when (and in addition to any restrictions set forth in clause (i) above) there are one or more
outstanding Advances and either (1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or (2) an Unmatured Default in respect of Section 8.2 shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the
Company shall not be permitted to withdraw, transfer or replace any of the specified assets (other than (x) Guaranty Fund Assets or (y) Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Collateral and Clearing Member Customer
Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Accounts, in each case, to the extent provided in any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Control Agreement)) identified in any Collateral Notice as Collateral associated with any Advance
outstanding at such time; 
 (iii) at any time when there are no outstanding Advances, the Company shall be permitted to
withdraw, transfer or replace any Collateral; and 
 (iv) at any time when (and in addition to any restrictions set forth in
clause (i) above) there are one or more outstanding Advances and either a Default in respect of Section 8.2 or an Unmatured Default in respect of Section 8.2 shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Company shall not be permitted to withdraw, transfer or replace any Guaranty Fund Assets identified in any Collateral Notice as Collateral associated with any Advance outstanding at such time. 

  
 37 

 (v) In making the confirmations pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i), the
Collateral Agent may conclusively rely without inquiry on the determination of the Borrowing Base as calculated by the Collateral Monitoring Agent and notified to the Collateral Agent. 

(c) The Company may at any time (including after a Notice of Exclusive Control has been delivered) direct the Collateral Agent to cause any
Custodian (or its transfer or servicing agent) having custody over any Clearing Member Customer Collateral Securities Account, any Clearing Member Collateral Securities Account, any Company Securities Account or any Clearing Member Customer Gold
Warrant Advance Deposit Account, any FX Account Bank, any Bullion Account Bank, any Gold Warrants Issuer, any Applicable Other Depositary or any Money Fund Issuer or its transfer or servicing agent, as the case may be, in writing, to liquidate (and
any applicable Custodian or any of their transfer or servicing agents, as the case may be, shall liquidate in market-based transactions as directed, in writing, by the Company) any Clearing Member Security or Company Security credited to any
Clearing Member Customer Collateral Securities Account, any Clearing Member Collateral Securities Account or any Company Securities Account, or any FX Account Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any Other Deposit Account
Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any Money Fund Shares subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any Gold Bullion subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Bullion Security Agreement, any Gold
Warrant (or gold covered thereby) subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, or any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Collateral subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and apply the proceeds
thereof and any other amounts credited to any Clearing Member Customer Collateral Securities Account, any Clearing Member Collateral Securities Account, any Clearing Member Customer FX Account, any Clearing Member FX Account, any Other Deposit
Account, any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account or credited in respect of such Money Fund Shares to repay any outstanding Loans in the Applicable Tranche; provided that: 

(i) After giving effect to any such liquidation and repayment described in this clause (c), the aggregate principal amount of
the remaining Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Borrowing Base as of the date of such liquidation (such Borrowing Base determined by the Company and confirmed to the Company by the Collateral Agent (with the Collateral Agent’s
determination controlling in the event of any discrepancy)); provided that if the Administrative Agent determines that the remaining Loans outstanding exceed the Borrowing Base, the Company shall make a prepayment or pledge additional
Collateral pursuant to Section 2.6(a) to the extent necessary to cure any such deficiency unless the Administrative Agent otherwise determines that any such liquidation is in the best interests of the Banks, after
giving effect to any such liquidation and the repayment of Loans in the Applicable Tranche as directed by the Company pursuant thereto, in which case any such liquidation shall be permitted notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause
(i); 
 (ii) the Company shall reimburse the Collateral Agent, Collateral Monitoring Agent and any Custodian or any of their
transfer or servicing agents, as the case may be, for any and all reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such Person in
connection with any such liquidation; 
 (iii) at any time when there are one or more outstanding Advances and either
(1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or (2) an Unmatured Default in respect of Section 8.2 shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the Company shall not liquidate any of the
specified assets (other than Guaranty Fund Assets) identified in any Collateral Notice as Collateral associated with any Advance that is outstanding at any time while such Default or Unmatured Default exists (unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise determines that any such liquidation is in the best interests of the Banks after giving effect to any such liquidation and the application of the proceeds thereof to repay Loans in the Applicable Tranche, in which case any such
liquidation shall be permitted notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (iii)); and 

  
 38 

 (iv) at any time when there are one or more outstanding Advances and either
a Default in respect of Section 8.2 or an Unmatured Default in respect of Section 8.2 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall not liquidate any Guaranty Fund Assets identified in

liquidation and the application of the proceeds thereof to repay Loans in the Applicable Tranche, in which case any such liquidation shall be permitted notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (iv)). 

(v) In making the confirmations pursuant to Section 2.9(c)(i), the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely without inquiry
on the determination of such Borrowing Base as calculated by the Collateral Monitoring Agent and notified to the Collateral Agent. 
 (d)
[Reserved] 
 (e) Upon any replacement, liquidation, transfer or withdrawal of any Clearing Member Security, Company Security, FX Account
Collateral, Gold Bullion, Gold Warrant, Other Deposit Account Collateral, Money Fund Shares, Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account or Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Collateral in accordance with
the Collateral Documents and pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above (other than a transfer of any such assets to a securities account or other account that is subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents which has
attached), the Lien of the Collateral Agent on the replaced, liquidated, transferred or withdrawn Clearing Member Security, Company Security, FX Account Collateral, Gold Bullion, Gold Warrants, Other Deposit Account Collateral, Money Fund Shares,
any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account or Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Collateral, as applicable, shall be deemed automatically released without further consent of the Collateral Agent or
any Bank.

transfer, liquidate or replace any Collateral. 
 (g) Any right of the Company to withdraw, replace, transfer or liquidate any Collateral
pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall apply to the extent any such Collateral has not been previously sold or liquidated by the Collateral Agent, or accepted by the Collateral Agent in full or partial satisfaction of any
Obligations in accordance with the Section 9-620 of the UCC. 
 Section 2.10 Commitment
Increase Option. 
 (a) The Company may, at its option and without the consent of the Banks, at any time after the Amendment No. 6
Effective Date and from time to time thereafter, seek to increase the Aggregate Commitments by up to an aggregate amount of $3,000,000,000 for all such increases (resulting in maximum Aggregate Commitments of $10,000,000,000) upon written notice to
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase, the requested Applicable Tranche(s) to be increased and the amount of each such increase within such Applicable Tranche and shall be
delivered at a time when no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. The Company may, in its sole discretion, offer the increase in the Aggregate Commitments to existing Banks or to other lenders or entities reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent and the 

  
 39 

 
Company, and such requested increase may be with respect to any Applicable Tranche(s). No increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall become effective until the existing or new Banks extending a
new or increased Applicable Tranche Commitment amount (which such increase shall be determined by each such existing or new Bank in its sole discretion) and the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company pursuant to which any such existing Bank states the amount of its Applicable Tranche Commitment increase (as the case may be), any such new Bank (or new Applicable Bank) states its aggregate
Applicable Tranche Commitment amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Bank hereunder (or under the Applicable Tranche, as the case may be) and the Company accepts such new or increased Applicable Tranche Commitments.
The Banks (new or existing) accepting new or increased Applicable Tranche Commitments shall accept an assignment from the existing Banks, and the existing Banks shall make an assignment to the new or existing Banks accepting a new or increased
Applicable Tranche Commitment (as the case may be), of a direct interest in each then outstanding Advance under the Applicable Tranche, as applicable, such that, after giving effect thereto, all credit exposure under each Applicable Tranche is held
ratably by the Applicable Banks in proportion to their respective Applicable Tranche Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and accrued
and unpaid facility fees. Any such increase of the Aggregate Commitments, respectively, shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Company of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including certification that the representations and warranties contained in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already
qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such applicable date, except for representations and warranties that relate to a specific date, in which case as of such date) and (x) upon the reasonable request of any Bank made at least six
(6) days prior to the date of any such increase, the Company shall have provided to such Bank, and such Bank shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your
customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least three (3) days prior to such date of increase and (y) at least three (3) days prior to such date of
increase, if the Company qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it shall have delivered, to each Bank that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification. 

(b) In addition to the foregoing, to the extent that the Company has reduced the Aggregate Commitments with respect to any or all of the Banks
(including pursuant to Section 2.12), the Company may, from time to time, increase any portion of any such Bank’s respective Applicable Tranche Commitment with respect to an Applicable Tranche (and increase the
Aggregate Commitments accordingly), with such Bank’s written consent in its sole discretion, in an amount up to the amount so reduced, provided that each such Bank shall accept an assignment from the existing Banks, and the existing
Banks shall make an assignment to each such Bank of a direct interest in each then outstanding Advance under such Applicable Tranche, such that, after giving effect thereto, all credit exposure hereunder is held ratably by the Banks in proportion to
their respective Applicable Tranche Commitments. The documents evidencing any such increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.

 Section 2.11 Defaulting Banks. 

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then,
until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Waivers and
Amendments. That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.2. 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by any Agent for the
account of that Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to any Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to
Section 12.1), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to any Agent hereunder on a pro
rata basis; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to each Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank hereunder; third, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement (such unfunded amounts to be determined by the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company);
fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in an interest bearing account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Bank to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, in the
case of a Defaulting Bank under any Applicable Tranche, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Banks under such Applicable Tranche (including the Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Bank under such Applicable Tranche (including the Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks) against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to
such Applicable Tranche; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting
Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount
of any Loans under any Applicable Tranche in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were
satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks under each such Applicable Tranche on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all such Applicable Tranches
computed in accordance with the Defaulting Banks’ respective funding deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Bank under the Applicable Tranche. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or
payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably
consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Bank shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee
pursuant to Section 2.8 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Bank). 
 (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is
a Defaulting Bank, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans pursuant to
Section 2.14, the pro rata portion and “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Bank shall be computed from time to time without giving effect to the Applicable
Tranche Commitment of that Defaulting Bank with respect to each Applicable Tranche; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect if, at the time of any such reallocation, no Default or Unmatured Default exists; and
(ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in the Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of: 

(1) the Applicable Tranche Commitment of that non-Defaulting Bank minus 

  
 41 

 (2) the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Applicable Tranche
Revolving Loans of that Bank plus (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of existing Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans of that Bank under the respective Applicable Tranche minus (C) the aggregate principal amount of participating interests
acquired (whether or not funded) in that Bank’s existing outstanding Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans by other non-Defaulting Banks minus (D) the aggregate principal amount of participating
interests acquired and funded in that Bank’s existing outstanding Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans by Defaulting Banks plus (E) the aggregate principal amount of participating interests acquired (whether or not funded) by that Bank in
other existing outstanding Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans of other Banks under that Applicable Tranche. 
 Subject to
Section 11.16, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks agree in writing
in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks in each Applicable Tranche participated in by such Defaulting Bank at par or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in the Applicable Tranche in accordance with
their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.11(a)(iv)), whereupon that Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fees or payments to such Bank which were not required to have been paid to such Bank while it was a
Defaulting Bank); and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. 
 (c) Other Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies
against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 2.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Company may have against such Defaulting Bank with respect to any Funding Default and which the Administrative Agent
or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank with respect to any Funding Default. 
 Section 2.12 Removal or Replacement of a
Bank. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) any Bank shall become a Defaulting Bank and such Defaulting Bank shall immediately fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a
Defaulting Bank; (b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to 

  
 42 

 
any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.2(a), the consent of the Required Banks shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of the other
Banks (each a “Non-Consenting Bank”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained or (c) any Bank requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 11.3(a), 11.8(b) or 11.8(c) or (d) if any Bank gives any notice pursuant to Section 11.9(h) indicating its inability to make or maintain Alternative Currency Rate Loans
under an Applicable Tranche to which such Bank is then an “Applicable Bank” (each such Bank under clauses (c) and (d) above, a “Requesting Bank”, and such Applicable Tranche, an “Impacted Tranche”);
with respect to each such Defaulting Bank, Non-Consenting Bank or Requesting Bank (the “Terminated Bank”), the Company may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any
Terminated Bank of its election to do so, (1) elect to cause such Terminated Bank (and such Terminated Bank hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Applicable Tranche Commitments (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank
under clause (d) above, the outstanding Loans and its Applicable Tranche Commitments under the Impacted Tranche), if any, in full to one or more Assignees (each a “Replacement Bank”) in accordance with applicable law and the
provisions of Section 11.1(c) and the Company shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from a Non-Consenting Bank or a Requesting Bank and
the Defaulting Bank shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Bank; provided, (i) (A) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Bank shall pay to such Terminated Bank
the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and Applicable Tranche Swingline Exposure of the Terminated Bank (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank, under clause (d) above, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and
Applicable Tranche Swingline Exposure under the Impacted Tranche) and, subject to clauses (B) and (C) hereof, all other Obligations owing to such Terminated Bank under this Agreement, (B) on the date any such fees shall be due as provided
in Section 2.8, subject to Section 2.11, the Replacement Bank shall pay all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Bank (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank, under clause
(d) above, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and Applicable Tranche Swingline Exposure under the Impacted Tranche), and (C) on the date any accrued interest shall be due as provided in
Section 3.3, the Replacement Bank shall pay all accrued, but theretofore unpaid interest owing to such Terminated Bank (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank under clause (d) above, all accrued, but theretofore unpaid
interest owing to such Terminated Bank under the Impacted Tranche) and (ii) in the event such Terminated Bank is a Non-Consenting Bank, each Replacement Bank shall consent, at the time of such assignment,
to such proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent or (2) so long as no Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank under clause (d) above, no Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan under the
Impacted Tranche) is outstanding in respect of which such Bank may be required to acquire a participating interest pursuant to Section 2.14, elect to terminate such Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment and obligations
to make Loans and acquire such participating interest in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans hereunder (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank under clause (d) above, such Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment and obligations to make Loans and
acquire such participating interest in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans under the Impacted Tranche), provided that the Company shall send written notice to such Bank specifying a date at least 3 Business Days after the date of such notice on which
such Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitments and obligation to make Loans and acquire participating interests in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans hereunder (or, in the case of a Requesting Bank under clause (d) above, such Bank’s
Applicable Tranche Commitments and obligations to make Loans and acquire such participating interest in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans, under the Impacted Tranche) shall be terminated. Upon the prepayment of all Obligations owing to any
Terminated Bank and the termination of such Terminated Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitments, if any (other than in the case of a Requesting Bank retaining an Applicable Tranche Commitment after such termination), such Terminated Bank shall no
longer constitute a “Bank” for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, each Terminated Bank shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 3.4(b), 4.3, 11.3,
11.8, 12.1(b), 12.1.(c), and 12.1(d) (in each case, to the extent such obligations arose prior to the effective date of the Assignment Agreement applicable thereto). Each Bank agrees that if the

  
 43 

 
Company exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Bank as a Terminated Bank, the Administrative Agent may execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give
effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.1(c) on behalf of a Non-Consenting Bank or Terminated Bank and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent
shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.1(c). 
 Section 2.13
[Reserved]. 
 Section 2.14 Participations in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans. 

(a) Each Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of any outstanding Applicable Tranche
Swingline Loan and either (i) in the case of an Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan that is not an Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan, the Applicable Banks in the respective Applicable Tranche shall acquire participating interests in any
outstanding Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Commitments and Applicable Percentage thereof or (ii) in the case of an Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan, the Applicable
Banks in the respective Applicable Tranche that failed to timely make available the Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans covered by such Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan shall acquire participating interests in such Applicable Tranche
Covering Swingline Loan pro rata in accordance with such Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans that such Applicable Bank did not timely make available, in either event, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following
any Business Day on which an Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan is made by such Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Applicable Bank, specifying in such
notice such Applicable Bank’s share of such Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan. Each Applicable Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank, such Bank’s share of such Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan. Each Applicable Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participating interests in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans
pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Applicable Tranche Commitments or the
Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitment, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Applicable Bank shall comply with its obligation under this Section in the same manner as
provided in Section 4.1 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Bank (and Section 4.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Banks), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Banks. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participating interest in any Applicable Tranche
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section. Any amounts received from the Company (or other party on behalf of the Company) in respect of an Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan after receipt by the Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank of the
proceeds of a sale of participating interests therein shall be promptly remitted through the Administrative Agent to the Applicable Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section and to the Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank, as
their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Administrative Agent, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. The purchase of participating interests
in an Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of any default in the payment thereof.

(a) To request an Advance hereunder, the Company shall: 

(i) give notification by telephone (which notification shall be made on the Borrowing Date, may be made either before or after
delivery of the Advance Request referred to in clause (ii) below and shall be subject to Section 3.5(b)) to the Administrative Agent that the Advance Request has been or will be delivered to the Administrative
Agent and, if not yet delivered, the amount of the Advance, the Applicable Tranche and the respective currency that will be requested in such Advance Request (such telephone notification, the “Advance Request Confirmation”), 

(ii) deliver, by email prior to the Applicable Borrower Notice Deadline: 

(A) a notice to the Administrative Agent of such request for Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans or Applicable Tranche Swingline
Loans in substantially the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (an “Advance Request”), which Advance Request shall be executed by an officer of the Company listed on an incumbency certificate (in substantially the form of
Exhibit E hereto, delivered to the Administrative Agent, as updated in writing by the Company from time to time) and delivered to the Administrative Agent’s Office applicable for such Applicable Tranche, and shall specify: 

 

	 	(1)	 the aggregate amount of the requested Advance; 

 

	 	(2)	 the date of such Advance, which shall be a Business Day; 

 

	 	(3)	 the Applicable Tranche under which such Advance is requested; 

 

	 	(4)	 whether such Advance is requested as an Applicable Tranche Revolving Loan or Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan;

  

	 	(5)	 the currency of the Loans to be borrowed (if the Company fails to specify a currency in an Advance Request,
then the Loan so requested shall be made in U.S. Dollars) (it being understood that a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance may only be denominated in U.S. Dollars); 

 

	 	(6)	 whether such Advance shall be initially secured by any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit
Account or any Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Account Collateral (any such advance, a “Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance”); and 

  
 45 

	 	(7)	 the location and number of the Company’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which (x) in the
case of an Advance (other than a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance) to be made in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, shall be a deposit account of the Company’s maintained with the Administrative Agent, (y) in
the case of an Advance (other than a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance) to be made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, shall be an account maintained with the Administrative Agent or another
financial institution or (z) in the case of a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance shall be one or more Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Accounts; and 

(B) a notice to the Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit I attached
hereto detailing the Collateral pledged by the Company to secure the requested Advance (a “Collateral Notice”), which Collateral Notice shall be executed by an officer of the Company listed on an incumbency certificate (in
substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto, delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent, as updated in writing by the Company from time to time) and delivered to the Collateral Agent’s Office and the Collateral
Monitoring Agent’s Office, and 
 (iii) give separate notification, by telephone, to the Collateral Agent that the
Collateral Notice has been delivered to the Collateral Agent. Concurrently with, or shortly following, or in lieu of, its making an Advance Request in respect of Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans, the Company may also make an Advance Request in
respect of Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans. 
 An Advance Request in respect of Swingline Loans shall also specify (1) the Banks being requested to
act as an Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank with respect to such Advance and make Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans and the respective amounts thereof, and (2) if such Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans are being requested on the same day as
any Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans, whether such Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans are to cover for any Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans not made available to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner (any such Applicable Tranche Swingline
Loan, an “Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan”) or are simply being requested in addition to such Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans. If any Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans being requested are Applicable Tranche Covering
Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent shall first, use the proceeds of the Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans timely made available to it to fund the requested Advance as provided in Section 3.1(b), and
second, fund the remaining portion of the requested Advance, if any, with the proceeds made available to it in respect of one or more Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loans, subject to Section 3.1(c). For the
avoidance of doubt, the provision of Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans by any Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank shall be in addition to, and shall not relieve such Bank from its obligation to make Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans ratably in
proportion to the amount of its Applicable Tranche Commitment. 
 In the event the Company is unable to submit any such notices via email (due to
operational difficulties or otherwise), the Administrative Agent may, to the extent commercially reasonable and following telephone notices by the Company requesting same, agree to accept such notices via other electronic delivery methods. 

  
 46 

 (b) Advance Determination. 

(i) Immediately as commercially practicable following the delivery of an Advance Request in accordance with
Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall (A) notify each Bank with a commitment under the Applicable Tranche in writing of the Company’s request for an Advance and such Bank’s pro rata share of the
Advance (any such notice, a “Bank Notice”) (and to the extent the Company has delivered a form FR U-1 in connection with such request, make available to the Banks such form FR U-1 via the Platform or other approved method of delivery) and (B) provide to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent (x) a copy of the applicable Advance Request and (y) a notice
stating the principal amount of Loans then outstanding under each Applicable Tranche (and before giving effect to such Advance requested in such Advance Request Confirmation) (any such notice described in clause (y), an “Outstanding Loan
Notice”). 
 (ii) The Collateral Monitoring Agent shall, within 45 minutes of receipt of the later of the applicable
Collateral Notice and the Outstanding Loan Notice, (i) determine the Market Value of (A) the Collateral Pool (which, in the case of a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, shall include the proceeds of the Loans funded pursuant to
such Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance and deposited in one or more Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Accounts), (B) the Borrowing Base and, (C) in the case of a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, the
Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrants identified in such Collateral Notice, (ii) notify the Company and the Collateral Agent (by telephone and electronic communication, such as email, at the contact information provided in the Advance Request)
and the Administrative Agent (by telephone at the contact information set forth on Schedule 13.1) of the Collateral Monitoring Agent’s determination of the Market Value of the Collateral Pool, the Borrowing Base and, in the case of a
Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, the Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrants identified in such Collateral Notice, and the Collateral Agent, based solely on information provided by the Collateral Monitoring Agent, upon which it may
conclusively rely, will confirm whether the Collateral Pool is sufficient for the Borrowing Base to collateralize the Company’s requested Advance (and, in the case of a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, whether the Discounted Value
of the Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrants identified in the applicable Collateral Notice is at least equal to the amount of Loans requested in such Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance). As soon as practicable, (x) the Collateral
Agent shall deliver a copy of the Collateral Notice to the Administrative Agent and (y) the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of any such received Collateral Notice to the Banks and further notify the Banks of such determination
described above of the Collateral Agent. 
 (iii) Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Article V, not later than the Applicable AA Funds Delivery Deadline, the Administrative Agent shall, using the proceeds provided by the Banks pursuant to Section 4.1 for such requested Advance, or any
additional proceeds that may be provided on behalf of the Banks by the Administrative Agent as provided in this Agreement, make available to the Company in immediately available funds the requested Advance (or, (1) in the case of an Advance
other than a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, if the Collateral Pool is not then sufficient to collateralize the requested Advance as required hereby, the portion thereof that is so collateralized by the Collateral Pool and (2) in
the case of a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, if the Discounted Value of the Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrants set forth in the applicable Collateral Notice is less than the amount of the Loans requested in such Clearing Member
Customer Gold Warrant Advance, the portion thereof that is equal to the Discounted Value of such Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrants) (x) in the case of an 

  
 47 

 
Advance (other than a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance) to be made in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, by depositing such funds into the deposit account of the
Company maintained with the Administrative Agent specified in the Advance Request, (y) in the case of an Advance (other than a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance) to be made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars,
Euro or Sterling (and to the extent requested by the Company), by wire transfer of such funds to an account of the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent or another financial institution (as specified in the Advance Request) (and for
purposes of clause (y) above, the Applicable AA Funds Delivery Deadline shall be determined by the time the Administrative Agent initiates such wire transfer of such funds and not the time received by any such other financial institution) or
(z) in the case of a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, by wire transfer of such funds to one or more Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance Deposit Accounts; provided that, in the event that (1) the Collateral Pool is
not sufficient to so collateralize the requested Advance (in the case of an Advance that is not a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance) or (2) the Discounted Value of the Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrants in the applicable
Collateral Notice is less than the amount of the Loans requested in a Clearing Member Customer Gold Warrant Advance, in each case, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof and the Company may post additional
Collateral to the Collateral Pool within one Business Day of such notice (including, without limitation, by withdrawing any Company Security in accordance with Section 2.9(b) and posting such Company Security as additional
Collateral with respect to the Collateral Pool) and upon the posting of such additional Collateral to the Collateral Pool, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Company a corresponding amount of the funds deposited by the Banks in
accordance with Section 4.1. In the event that the Company fails to post sufficient additional Collateral to the Collateral Pool to collateralize the requested Advance as required hereby within one Business Day following
such notice from the Collateral Agent of the insufficiency of the Collateral Pool, the Administrative Agent shall return any excess proceeds provided by the Banks to the Banks ratably in accordance with the amounts funded by each Bank. Any funds
held by the Administrative Agent during any such period prior to being made as an Advance or returned to the Banks in accordance with this Section 3.1(b)(iii) being referred to herein as “Held Funds”. 

(c) If an Advance Request is made in respect of Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loans, (i) the portion thereof made available by
any Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank to the Administrative Agent and not required to cover for Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans shall be promptly returned to such Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks on a pro rata basis in accordance with the
respective amounts made available by such Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks and (ii) the proceeds of Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans subsequently made available to the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to such Applicable Tranche
Swingline Banks as a prepayment of the principal of such Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loans, with such distribution to be made to such Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks on such a pro rata basis. Each Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank that
makes any Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan which is not made available to the Company and is promptly returned as contemplated above shall be entitled to compensation for such Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan from the Company as
determined by such Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank in accordance with its customary practices (provided that any such compensation shall not exceed the interest payable in respect of any Advance under the Applicable Tranche until the next
Business Day pursuant to Section 3.3); and any Applicable Tranche Covering Swingline Loan which is made available to the Company shall earn interest, payable by the Company, in accordance with
Section 3.3. 

  
 48 

 Section 3.2 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Except in the case of a Test Draw,
each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Advance may be in the aggregate amount of the Excess Availability, as applicable to
such Advance. 
 Section 3.3 Interest. 

(a) Prior to its Loan Maturity Date, each Advance shall bear interest at the Applicable Reference Rate plus 1.50% per annum. Held Funds shall
bear interest at the Applicable Reference Rate which would have been applicable to such amounts if such amounts had been made available to the Company pursuant to the applicable requested Advance plus 1.50% per annum. Any Advance not paid when due
shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Reference Rate plus 3.50% per annum. 
 (b)
Any Obligation other than those described in clause (a) above not paid when due shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 3.50% per annum. 

Section 3.4 Method of Payment. 

(a) All payments (including prepayments) of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts payable hereunder by the Company shall,
subject to Section 11.3, be made without setoff, defense, recoupment or counterclaim in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Applicable Banks, (A) at any time up to 12:00 noon
(New York City time), with respect to principal, interest, commitment fees or such other amounts with respect to Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, or (B) at any time up to 2:30 pm London time, with respect to principal,
interest, commitment fees or such other amounts with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), in each case on the date when due at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the respective currency. Any
amount received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date
for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America, except that payments of principal and interest in respect of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made in such Alternative Currency, subject to Section 11.9(d) or
(e) in the event a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency is converted into a Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars pursuant to such Section. 

(b) Except with respect to payments made to an Applicable Bank whose Applicable Tranche Commitment is terminated pursuant to
Section 2.12, (A) all payments of principal of, and interest on, any Advance under an Applicable Tranche shall be made by the Administrative Agent to the Banks under such Applicable Tranche ratably among such Banks, in
proportion to the outstanding principal amount of their respective Loans constituting part of such Advance and (B) all payments of commitment fees and other amounts payable hereunder by the Administrative Agent to the Banks under an Applicable
Tranche shall be made to the Banks under such Applicable Tranche ratably among such Banks, in proportion to the amounts thereof owing to them. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully
all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due under an Applicable Tranche, such funds shall be applied first, towards payment of all Obligations in respect of Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans under such Applicable Tranche,
second, towards payment of interest and fees then due in respect of Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans under such Applicable Tranche, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and third, towards payment of principal then due in respect of Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans under such Applicable Tranche, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to
such parties. 

  
 49 

 Section 3.5 Notes; Telephonic Notices. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in
accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts evidencing the Loans made by such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time under this Agreement
and the Loans. Any Bank may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (any such promissory note, a “Note”), and in such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note
payable to such Bank or to such Bank and its registered assigns substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, as applicable. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the
schedule attached to its applicable Note, as applicable, or in its books and records; provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Company’s obligations in respect of any Loan. The Administrative Agent
shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the information with respect to such Loan described in Section 3.1(a)(ii)(A), (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Company and each Bank’s share thereof. The entries
maintained in the accounts maintained by the Banks and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event the
records maintained by a Bank conflict with the records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall control. 

(b) The Company hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to extend Advances (using the proceeds provided by the Banks pursuant to
Section 4.1 and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.1) based on telephonic notices made by any Persons the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Company. 

Section 3.6 Interest Payment Dates; Interest Basis. Interest accrued on each Advance under an Applicable Tranche prior to the
applicable Loan Maturity Date shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Applicable Banks on the date on which such Advance is paid or prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise. Interest accrued on each Advance after
its applicable Loan Maturity Date shall be payable on demand. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of (i) in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed, (ii) in the
case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Euros, a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed, (iii) in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and Sterling, a year of 365 days for actual days elapsed,
or as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice, or (iv) in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars, Euros or Sterling) in
accordance with market practice for such Alternative Currency. As referenced in the definitions for each Applicable Reference Rate, interest with respect to any Loan shall be determined on each Business Day such Loan is outstanding. Commitment fees
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed. 
 For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of
interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a
yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall
not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest 

  
 50 

 
stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. The Company hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any
proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any
other applicable law or legal principle of Canada. 
 ARTICLE IV 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 4.1 Notice to and Payment by the Banks. 

(a) Promptly following the delivery of any Bank Notice relating to any request for a Revolving Loan under an Applicable Tranche (and in any
event, prior to the Applicable Bank Funding Deadline), each Applicable Bank shall deposit in an account designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose (and notified by the Administrative Agent to the Applicable Banks) in immediately
available funds the proceeds of such Applicable Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the requested Advance. 
 (b) Promptly following the
delivery of any Bank Notice relating to any request for an Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan, each Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank agreeing to fund any such Applicable Tranche Swingline Loan shall (unless the Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior to the Applicable Bank Funding Deadline plus an additional thirty (30) minutes which
(x) directs such Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.1(a), or (y) notifies such Applicable
Tranche Swingline Bank that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, not later than the Applicable Bank Funding Deadline plus an
additional forty-five (45) minutes, deposit in the designated account of the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds the agreed upon proceeds of such requested Advance. 

Section 4.2 Payment by Banks to the Administrative Agent. 

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank that such Bank does not intend to make available its share of an
Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made or will make such payment and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Company the proceeds of the Loan to
be made by such Bank and, if any Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Company attributable to such Bank together with
interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Company and ending on (but excluding) the date such Bank pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal
to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Bank is due hereunder, the Applicable Lender Overnight Rate for each such day and (ii) from the
date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Bank to the date such payment is made by such Bank the Applicable Reference Rate for the Applicable Tranche in effect for each such day plus 1.50%. If such amount is not
received from such Bank by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Company will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Bank with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the
interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. 

  
 51 

 (b) The failure of any Bank to make a payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of
the Loan to be made by such Bank shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the
payment required to be made by such other Bank. 
 Section 4.3 Distribution of Payments. 

(a) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives from, or on behalf of the Company, or any other person or party, a payment of principal,
interest or commitment fees or other amount payable hereunder with respect to any of which the applicable Banks are entitled to receive a share, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Banks, in the currency so received, the amount due
each of such Banks as determined pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount of such distribution shall be adjusted to the extent that amounts are owed by any Bank to the Administrative Agent or as otherwise provided
by Sections 2.14, 3.1(c)(ii), 3.4(b) or 4.2 or subsection (b) hereof. If any payment of principal, interest or commitment fees or other amount payable in connection with the Loans is received from or on behalf
of the Company by the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon (New York City time) in the case of payments denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars or 2:30 p.m. (London time) in the case of payments denominated in Alternative Currencies (other
than Canadian Dollars), on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to wire transfer the appropriate portion of the same to the applicable Banks that same Business Day, but in any event shall wire the same to each of
such Banks before the end of the next Business Day. 
 (b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Banks hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Banks the amount due. 

With Respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Banks hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent
determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the Company has not in fact made such payment; (2) the
Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Company (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Banks severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, (i) from the date of such demand to the date two (2) Business Days after such date, at the greater of the Applicable Lender Overnight Rate for each such day and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date of such demand to the date such payment is made by such Bank, the
greater of the Applicable Reference Rate in effect for each such day and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank or the
Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

  
 52 

 Section 4.4 Rescission of Payments by the Company. If all or part of any payment
made by the Company to Administrative Agent of principal, interest or commitment fees or other amount payable in connection with the Loans is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason and if Administrative Agent has paid to any of the
Banks such Bank’s ratable share therein, such Bank shall, upon telephone notice from Administrative Agent, forthwith pay to Administrative Agent (i) on the date of such telephone notice if notice is received by such Bank at or prior to
12:00 noon (New York City time) in the case of payments denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars or 2:30 p.m. (London time) in the case of payments denominated in Alternative Currencies other than Canadian Dollars or (ii) on the next
Business Day if notice is received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, (New York City time), or 2:30 p.m. (London time), as applicable, an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable interest in the amount that was rescinded or that must be so
returned by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Company, or to whomever shall be legally entitled thereto pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, each such amount (or any lesser amount) that is
received from each Bank. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to the Company for any amount that Administrative Agent paid to any Bank and that is not repaid by such Bank, provided that Administrative Agent did in fact provide such Bank
with the notice described above to the effect that such payment was rescinded or must be returned.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 9.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.6 or 8.7 occurs, the obligations
of the Banks to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of any Bank or the Administrative Agent. If any other Default occurs, and for
so long as it is continuing, the Administrative Agent upon the consent of the Required Banks may, or upon the direction of the Required Banks shall, terminate or suspend the Aggregate Commitments of the Banks to make Loans hereunder, or declare the
Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Company hereby expressly waives. In addition, at any time
after which the Obligations have become due and payable and the obligations of the Banks to make Loans hereunder have terminated in accordance with this Section 9.1, the Collateral Agent may (but without any obligation),
with the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Banks), or shall, upon the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Banks), enforce any and all rights and interest created
under the Collateral Documents, the UCC or the PPSA, including, without limitation, foreclosing the security interests created pursuant to the Collateral Documents by any available judicial procedure, and exercise all other rights and remedies of

Section 11.9(f) and this Section 9.2, the Required Banks or the Administrative Agent (with the written consent of the Required Banks) and, in either case, the Company may, for the purpose of adding
or modifying any provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents, changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or the Company hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default hereunder or thereunder, enter into agreements supplemental hereto or
thereto; provided, however, that: 
 (a) no amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall
(i) (x) change the percentage in the definition of the terms “Required Banks” or “Supermajority Banks” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or give any direction or grant any consent hereunder (other than the definition specified in clause (y) of this Section 9.2(a)(i)) without the consent of all of the Banks, or

(y) change the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Applicable Banks” with respect to an Applicable Tranche without the written consent of each Applicable Bank in

extend the time of payment of any commitment fee owed to any Bank without the consent of such Bank, (iv) adjust the amount of the Applicable Tranche Commitment of any Bank except as otherwise permitted herein or postpone the scheduled date of

the consent of the Supermajority Banks, (ix) release any of the Collateral from the Lien granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents to the extent that on the date of such release the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans exceed,
or will immediately after such release exceed, the Borrowing Base, other than as permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation Section 2.9 of this Agreement) without the consent of the
Supermajority Banks, (x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.11 or the definition of the term “Defaulting Bank” (or the definition of any component thereof) without the consent of the Required

the term “Defaulting Bank”), (xi) impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Bank under an Applicable Tranche to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Required Applicable
Banks under such Applicable Tranche, (xii) amend or modify the provisions of Annex II without the consent of each Bank committed to fund Loans in the currency being amended or modified adversely affected thereby, or (xiii) affect
the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Applicable Banks under an Applicable Tranche (but not the Applicable Banks under a different Applicable Tranche) without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Banks that would be
required to consent thereto under this Section if such set of Applicable Banks were the only Banks hereunder at the time; 
 (b) the Company
may (i) add one or more new Banks or increase an Applicable Tranche Commitment of an existing Bank, in each case pursuant to Section 2.10 without the consent of any other Bank and (ii) in connection with the
removal or replacement of any Bank in accordance with Section 2.12, (A) reduce the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments up to the amount of any Terminated Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment without the consent of any other Bank and

shall have executed an Assignment Agreement in accordance with Section 11.1; 
 (c) subject to the consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company may modify the Eligible Assets, Advance Rate, the Concentration Policy, the Minimum Credit Rating, the Borrowing Base, Discounted Value or the provisions
of Annex I hereto at any time, without the consent of the Banks, if such modification results in an imposition of a more restrictive definition of Eligible Assets, Advance Rate, Concentration Policy, Minimum Credit Rating, Borrowing Base or
Discounted Value or more restrictive provisions of Annex I than as set forth herein as of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date; 

  
 67 

 (d) the Company may amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify the Security and Pledge
Agreement to the extent permitted by Section 8.5(ii) of the Security and Pledge Agreement, with only the consent of the parties described therein; 

(e) except as provided in clause (d) above, subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative
Agent (which direction shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Collateral Agent determines that such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification would impair any right of the Collateral Agent) and so long as any such
amendment, restatement, supplement, or modification does not impair the perfection or priority of the Lien of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Agents and the Banks in the respective Collateral subject to such Collateral Document, the Company
may amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify any Collateral Document pursuant to the terms thereof, in each case, without the consent of the Banks; and 

(f) subject to the requirements of Section 2.7 (including any Bank consent requirements thereunder), the
Company may convert Applicable Tranche Commitments from one Applicable Tranche to a different Applicable Tranche or add additional currencies to an Applicable Tranche without the consent of the Banks; 

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition
to the Banks required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent in addition to the Banks required above,
affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Monitoring Agent in addition to the Banks required above, affect the rights or
duties of the Collateral Monitoring Agent under this Agreement and (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the respective Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank in addition to the Banks required above, affect the
rights or duties of such Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, (and any
amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) no Applicable Tranche Commitment of
such Defaulting Bank may be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms directly affects any Defaulting Bank
more adversely than other directly affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank. The Company shall promptly deliver a copy to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent of any amendment,
waiver or consent which was not required to be executed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent, as applicable, pursuant to this Section. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Bank (but with the
consent of the Company and each Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Bank shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Bank shall have terminated, such Bank shall
have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. 

  
 68 

 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent and the
Company acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), then the Administrative Agent and
the Company shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement. 
 Section 9.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of any of the Agents or the Banks to
exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Company to
satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. Any single or partial exercise of
any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless the
same shall be permitted by Section 9.2, and then only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be
available to the Banks until the Obligations have been paid in full and the Aggregate Commitments have been terminated. 
 ARTICLE X

 THE AGENTS 

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Banks appoints Bank of America, N.A. to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent hereunder and authorizes the Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Monitoring Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent (respectively) by the terms hereof together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Banks, and the Company shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the
term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Each Bank
hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute each of the Collateral Documents on behalf, or for the benefit, of such Bank (the terms of which shall be binding on such Bank) and to release any lien in any Collateral if such release is provided
for in any Loan Document or is otherwise consented to in accordance with Section 9.2. 
 Section 10.2
Rights as a Bank. The Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Bank” or
“Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its capacity as a Bank. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to the Banks. 

  
 69 

 Section 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document to which it is a party and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent or any of
its Related Parties: 
 (a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing (x) in the case of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent, by the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent and the
Collateral Monitoring Agent shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents to the extent so directed by the Administrative Agent) and (y) in the case of the Administrative Agent, by the Required Banks
(or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein) (and the Administrative Agent shall be fully protecting in acting including giving directions to any other Agent, or in refraining from acting, under the
Loan Documents to the extent so directed by the Required Banks or such other number or percentage of Banks, as applicable); provided that each Agent may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity
from the Banks satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power; provided further that no Agent shall be required to take any action that,
in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic
stay under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, or similar law; and 
 (c) shall have any duty or responsibility to disclose, or be liable for the failure to
disclose, to any Bank, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company or any of its Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the
possession of, any Agent or any of its Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the applicable Agent herein. 

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) (x) in the case of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring
Agent, with the consent or at the request of the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of the Administrative Agent, with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be
necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.2 and Article IX ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given in writing to such Agent by the Company or a Bank. Without limitation of any other provision of this Article X, if any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is silent or vague (as determined in the good faith of the
applicable Agent), each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents if it shall not have received (A) in the case of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring
Agent, the written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Administrative Agent, and (B) in the case of the Administrative Agent, the written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Banks, in each case, as such Agent deems appropriate. 

  
 70 

 No Agent 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 Loan Document to which it is a party, or to take any action that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. 

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Bank or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the existence, genuineness, value (other than as expressly provided by Section 1.4 with respect to the Collateral Monitoring Agent
and Collateral Agent) or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Collateral Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens securing the Secured Obligations or
(vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent are not
responsible for validating the absence of liens through lien searches or otherwise. 
 Upon receipt of any notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Unmatured Default described in Section 7.3, the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice thereof to the Banks (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent). 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein or the other Loan Documents shall require the Collateral Agent to file financing statements or
continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which it is a party or any other payment made to it or by it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby). 

Section 10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise made by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, which by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 10.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent such Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents. 

  
 71 

 Section 10.6 Resignation or Removal of Agents. 

(a) The Administrative Agent or Citibank, N.A. (in both its capacity as Collateral Monitoring Agent and Collateral Agent) may at any time give
notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Company. Further, (i) the Company and the Required Banks may, in the event that an Agent shall become unable to fulfill any of its duties hereunder (as determined by the Company in its reasonable
discretion) or upon mutual agreement from time to time request another Bank to act as the “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent” and “Collateral Monitoring Agent”, as applicable, hereunder and (ii) the
Company may, in the event that any Applicable Tranche Commitment of a Bank serving as an Agent hereunder has been terminated by the Company as permitted by Section 2.12(a) because such Bank was a Defaulting Bank remove such
Bank as an Agent hereunder and request another Bank to act as the “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent” and “Collateral Monitoring Agent”, as applicable, hereunder (in any such case of clauses (i) and (ii),
an “Agent Removal Request”). Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, removal or request, the Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank or trust company with an office in the United States. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks with such consent of the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring or removed Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Company and the Required Banks) or 30 days after such Agent Removal Request (the “Resignation/Removal Effective Date”),
then the retiring or removed Agent may on behalf of the Banks upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company (but shall have no obligation to), appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or Collateral Monitoring Agent, as
applicable, which shall be a bank or trust company having the operational capacity to perform the functions of such Agent hereunder, with an office (or an Affiliate with an office) in the United States and organized under the laws of the United
States of America or any state thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or as may otherwise be mutually agreed among the Required Banks and the Company; provided that, if such retiring or removed Agent is
unable to locate such a successor Agent having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 within 30 days after giving such notice to the Company, then after the expiration of such 30-day period it
may appoint a successor having a combined capital surplus of at least $50,000,000 and otherwise meeting the requirements of this Section; and provided further that, if the applicable Agent shall notify the Company and such Banks that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or if such Agent has elected not to appoint such a successor Agent, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation/Removal
Effective Date and with effect from the Resignation/Removal Effective Date (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security (without any obligation to take action in connection therewith in its capacity as
Collateral Agent) until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as a successor Agent is appointed by the Required Banks or such Agent, as applicable (in each case, with the consent of Company, not to be
unreasonably withheld), as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired or removed) Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations as such Agent

hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.8 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as
such Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral
security on behalf of any of the Banks and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Agent. Nothing in this Section shall constitute a waiver or release by the Company of any claims it may
have hereunder or under the other Loan Documents as a result of a Bank becoming a Defaulting Bank. 
 (b) Further, the Company may, at any
time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) remove the Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent and appoint a Bank (with such applicable Bank’s consent and which shall be a bank or
trust company with an office in the United States of America or any state thereof) as the successor Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent, as applicable. Each such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the removed Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the removed Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent as of the date of
removal of such Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent) and the removed Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed). 

(c) The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide the Company from time to time at the Company’s request a list (which may be in
electronic form) setting out the names of the Banks as of the date of such request, their respective Commitments, and the information on record with the Administrative Agent for delivering notices to the Banks in accordance with
Section 13.1(b). 
 (d) In the event of any such resignation by or removal of Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this Section, Bank
of America may resign and be discharged of its duties as an Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank; provided that, Bank of America shall retain all the rights, powers and privileges of an “Applicable Tranche Swingline Bank” provided for
hereunder with respect to Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Banks to make Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in
outstanding Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.14. 
 Section 10.7 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Banks. Each Bank expressly acknowledges that none of any Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent or any Arranger
hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Company of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent or any Arranger to any Bank as to
any matter, including whether any Agent or any Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Bank represents to each Agent and each Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the 

  
 73 

 
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company hereunder. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger or any Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending
facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Bank for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other
facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Bank, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each
Bank represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Bank, and either it, or the Person
exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. 

Section 10.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or
Syndications Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Monitoring Agent or a Bank hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank or the Company. 
 Section 10.9 Administrative Agent May
File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law, or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Administrative Agent
(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 Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) 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 hereunder 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 Banks and the Agents (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Monitoring Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Monitoring Agent under Section 3.3 and Section 11.8) 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 Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Collateral 

  
 74 

 
Monitoring Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent and
their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to them under Section 3.3 and Section 11.8. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations hereunder or the rights of any Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding. 
 The Banks hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (acting at the
direction of the Required Banks), or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Banks), to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the
Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the
Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the bankruptcy code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the bankruptcy code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other
jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or
otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Banks shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to
contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in
allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid
(i) the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to (A) form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or
vehicles (provided that any actions by the Collateral Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the
Required Banks and the Administrative Agent, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Banks contained in Section 9.2 of this Agreement), and
(C) to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Banks, as a result of which each of the Banks shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by
such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Bank or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (ii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an
acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition
vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Banks pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the
acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Banks or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. 

Section 10.10 Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Banks severally agree to reimburse and indemnify each Agent and its Related
Parties ratably in proportion to the aggregate amounts of their respective Applicable Tranche Commitments (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or payment is made), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company,
and without relieving the Company of the obligation to do so (i) for any amounts for which such Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (ii) for any
other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) incurred by such Agent,
in its capacity as Agent and 

  
 75 

 
acting on behalf of the Banks, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that in each case of this clause (ii), the Banks
shall only be required to reimburse the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one separate counsel for each Agent and, if necessary, one separate local counsel for each Agent in each appropriate jurisdiction (and in the case of
different defenses or conflicts of interest (as determined by the affected Agents in their reasonable discretion), additional counsel for the affected Agents taken as a whole), except in each case, for any amounts or expenses that arise as a result
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 10.11 Release of Clearing Members. Subject to Section 8.7 of the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Banks irrevocably
authorize the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent shall, release any Clearing Member from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Clearing Member (which obligations shall be automatically released upon such
Person ceasing to be a Clearing Member). Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Banks shall confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release any Clearing Member from its obligations under the Loan Documents
pursuant to this Section 10.11. Subject to Section 8.7 of the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver such documents as the Company may reasonably
request to release such Person from its obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.12 Rights of Agents. The benefits,
privileges and other rights provided to any Agent set forth in this Article X shall apply to (and not be limited by) any other Loan Document. 

Section 10.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the
Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Bank (each, a “Credit Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Company at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in
any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so
received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, (i) from the date of such demand to the date two
(2) Business Days after such date, at the greater of the Applicable Lender Overnight Rate for each such day and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) from
the date two (2) Business Days after the date of such demand to the date such payment is made by such Bank, the greater of the Applicable Reference Rate in effect for each such day and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by
a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit
Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

 ARTICLE XI 

GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 

Section 11.1 Successors and Assigns; Participating Interests. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, provided that (i) the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except as provided in Section 9.2 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
the Company shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except in accordance with this Section 11.1. 

(b) (i) Any Bank may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities
(“Participants”) participating interests in any Applicable Tranche Revolving Loan owing to such Bank, any Applicable Tranche Commitment of such Bank or any other interest of such Bank hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a
Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and the Company
and each Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a
participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and in no event shall a Bank that sells a participating
interest be obligated to the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except that such Bank may agree that it will not, without the consent of such Participant, agree to (A) reduce
the principal of, or interest payable on (or reduce the rate of interest applicable to), the Loans of such Bank or any fees or other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder which, in each case, are related to the participating interest sold to such
Participant or, (B) postpone the date fixed for any payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans of such Bank or other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder which, in each case, are related to the participating interest sold to such
Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.3, 11.8(b) and 11.8(c) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section and
(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 11.3, 11.8(b) and 11.8(c), with respect to any participation, than the Bank from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled
to receive; provided further that a Participant that would be a Foreign Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 11.3 as though it were a Bank. 
 (ii) Each Bank that
sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank 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 Applicable Tranche Commitment, or Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Applicable Tranche Commitment, or, Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank 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. 

  
 77 

 (c) Any Bank may (or in accordance with Section 11.3(h) shall), in
accordance with applicable law, and with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and, in the absence of notice to the contrary, such consent shall be deemed granted ten (10) days after notice to the Company of
any contemplated assignment) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), at any time assign to one or more assignees (all such assignees, collectively, “Assignees”) all or any part of any
of its Applicable Tranche Commitments (and related Applicable Tranche Revolving Loans) or if the Aggregate Applicable Tranche Commitments have been terminated, its Loans under such Applicable Tranche (as the case may be), pursuant to an assignment
agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by such Assignee and such Bank and delivered to the Company and each Agent; provided that the consent of the Company (and the consent of the Administrative Agent, solely with
respect to clauses (B) and (C)) to any such assignment shall not be required if (A) a Default under any of Sections 8.2, 8.6 or 8.7 has occurred and is continuing, (B) the assignment is by a Bank to an Affiliate
of such Bank or another existing Bank or an Affiliate of such other existing Bank which is a bank in the ordinary course of business or (C) the assignment of a security interest or pledge by any Bank of its Loans and its rights hereunder with
respect thereto pursuant to Section 11.1(i), below. Upon such execution and delivery of an Assignment Agreement, from and after the effective date as specified therein, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and shall be bound by the provisions hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, with respect to its Applicable Tranche Commitment as set forth in such Assignment
Agreement, and (y) the transferor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Applicable Tranche Commitments being assigned (and, in the
case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Bank shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits,
and subject to the limitations, of Sections 2.14, 3.4(b), 4.3, 11.3, 11.8, 12.1(b) and 12.1(c) (to the extent such obligations arose prior to the effective date of such Assignment Agreement)). Upon
delivery of the Assignment Agreement to the Company and each Agent, the Company, each Agent and the Banks shall treat the Assignee as the owner of the Loans under the Applicable Tranche and the Applicable Tranche Commitment, recorded therein for all
purposes of this Agreement. Except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment under an Applicable Tranche or Loans under an Applicable Tranche, the amount of the Applicable
Tranche Commitment under an Applicable Tranche or Loans under an Applicable Tranche of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $25,000,000 and each continuing assigning Bank shall retain an Applicable Tranche Commitment of not less than $25,000,000, unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,
provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if a Default under any of Sections 8.2, 8.6 or 8.7 has occurred and is continuing. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank that does not comply with this
Section 11.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participating interest in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 11.1(b). 

(d) On the effective date specified in any Assignment Agreement, or as soon as possible thereafter, the Company shall, upon request of an
Assignee, execute and deliver to such applicable Assignee a new Note payable to such Assignee reflecting the Applicable Tranche Commitment and outstanding Loans under the Applicable Tranche obtained by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and,
if the transferor Bank has retained an Applicable Tranche Commitment and Loans hereunder, upon request of such transferor Bank, a new Note in exchange for any applicable Note held by 

  
 78 

 
the transferor Bank (which existing Note shall be surrendered to the Company) payable to the transferor Bank reflecting the Applicable Tranche Commitment and outstanding Loans thereunder retained
by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of the Assignment Agreement as specified therein, and (if requested as described above) include reference to the Applicable Tranche Commitment and shall otherwise be in the form of
the Note replaced thereby. The Note surrendered by the transferor Bank shall be returned by the transferor Bank to the Company marked “canceled”. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain
at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Applicable Tranche Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans
owing under each Applicable Tranche to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of its interest therein, as indicated in the Register, for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) The
Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Assignee and any prospective Participant or Assignee any and all financial and other information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Company which has been delivered to such
Bank by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in
Section 11.11. 
 (f) If, pursuant to this Section 11.1, any interest in this Agreement
or any Loan is transferred to any Assignee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, such Assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer and becoming a party to this
Agreement pursuant to the applicable Assignment Agreement shall, (i) represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, each Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties then in effect no United States
federal Taxes will be required to be withheld by any Agent, the Company or the transferor Bank with respect to any payments to be made to such Assignee hereunder, (ii) furnish to the Company the documentation described in
Section 11.3(f), (wherein such Assignee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax on all payments hereunder) and (iii) agree to otherwise comply with the terms of
Section 11.3(f). 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 11.1 no Bank may assign or sell participating interests, or otherwise syndicate all or any portion of such bank’s interests under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (i) to any Person who is
(x) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (the “SDN List”) maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar
list maintained by the OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation or (y) either (A) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or
(B) designated under Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive
orders, (ii) in the case of any assignment of an Applicable Tranche Commitment or Loan in any currency to any Person who cannot adhere to the timing of funding requirements set forth in Annex II with respect to such Alternative Currency within
such Applicable Tranche, (iii) to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (iv) to any Person who is a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary
benefit of a natural Person, (v) to any Person who is a Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v), or (vi) to
any Person unless such Person (other than a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) is engaged in making loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business. 

  
 79 

 (h) The transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a
processing and recording fee of $3,500. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Bank and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this subsection 11.1(h) and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection 11.1(c), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment Agreement and record
the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection 11.1(h). 

(i) Any Bank may 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 Bank, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank, and this Section 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 Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. 

(j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless
and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which
may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans
previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to any Agent
or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Applicable Tranche Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of
such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Section 11.2
Survival. All representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Loans herein contemplated. The provisions of Sections 10.10, 11.3, 11.8, 12.1(b) and
12.1(c) and Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.3 Taxes. 

(a) All payments to any Bank made under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for any Taxes, except as
required pursuant to applicable law; provided that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.3, if the Company shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (the “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums described in this paragraph) such Bank
receives an amount equal 

  
 80 

 
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, to the extent not paid in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (b) Subject to subsections (e) and (g) below, the Company shall indemnify each Bank for Indemnified Taxes and Other
Taxes paid by such Bank, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to make payment to any Bank in respect of penalties, interest and other similar liabilities attributable to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties,
interest or other similar liabilities are reasonably attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank. 
 (c) If a
Bank shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.3, including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company, or with respect to which the Company has paid Additional Amounts pursuant hereto, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund claim and, if such Bank
determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have a material adverse effect on its Taxes or business operations, shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Company, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for
such refund at the Company’s expense. If a Bank receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Company pursuant hereto, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Company
(but only to the extent of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid pursuant to hereto, including indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 11.3 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of such Bank and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). This Section shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent or any Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person. 

(d) If any Bank is or becomes eligible under any applicable law, regulation, treaty or other rule to a reduced rate of taxation, or a complete
exemption from withholding, with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on payments made to it by the Company, such Bank shall, upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, complete and deliver from time to time any certificate,
form or other document requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, the completion and delivery of which are a precondition to obtaining the benefit of such reduced rate or exemption, provided that the taking of such action by such
Bank, would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank be disadvantageous or prejudicial to such Bank or inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions. Subject to the above proviso, for any period with respect to
which a Bank has failed to provide any such certificate, form or other document requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall not be entitled to any payment under this Section 11.3 in respect of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that would not have been imposed but for such failure. 
 (e) Each Bank organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction in the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (each such Bank, a “US Bank”) shall (i) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, upon execution hereof (or, with respect to Persons
becoming Banks hereunder by assignment, upon execution of the relevant assignment agreement), two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form, properly completed
and duly executed by such Bank, certifying that such Bank is exempt from United States backup withholding Tax on payments of interest made under the Loan Documents and (ii) thereafter, at each time when it is so reasonably requested in writing
by the Company or the Administrative Agent or at such time the Bank 

  
 81 

 
becomes aware of the invalidity or obsolescence of a previously delivered form, deliver within a reasonable time two original copies of an updated Form W-9
or any successor form thereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) and (b) above, the Company shall not be required to indemnify a US Bank to the extent the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or Additional Amounts would not
have arisen but for a failure by such US Bank to comply with this subsection (e), except to the extent such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company under this
subsection 11.3(e). 
 (f) Each Bank, Agent and other Person receiving payments under this Agreement that is organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (each such Bank, a “Foreign Bank”) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Company is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under the Loan Documents shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, upon execution hereof (or, with respect
to Persons becoming Banks hereunder by assignment, upon execution of the relevant assignment agreement), such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, unless in the good faith opinion of the Foreign Bank such documentation would expose the Foreign Bank to any material adverse consequences or risk
or is inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, it being understood that the completion of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-ECI by a Foreign Bank, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement, shall not be considered to be inconsistent with such Foreign Bank’s internal policies
or legal or regulatory restrictions or expose such Foreign Bank to a material adverse consequence. Such documentation shall be delivered by each Foreign Bank on or before the date it becomes a Bank and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign
Bank changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office with respect to its Loans (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Foreign Bank shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Bank. 
 If a payment made to a Bank would be subject to United States federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by FATCA or other provisions of applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 11.3, the
term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

Each Agent and Bank (and, in the case of a Foreign Bank, its lending office), represents that on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date,
payments made hereunder by the Company to it would not be subject to United States federal withholding Tax. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the
provisions of subsection (a) and (b) above, the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Bank, or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Foreign Bank, in respect of United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to
subsection (a) or (b) above, (A) to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding Tax existed on the date such Foreign Bank became a Bank, became a party hereto or
otherwise acquired its 

  
 82 

 
interest herein or in the case of a Foreign Bank that after becoming a party hereto changes its classification for United States federal income Tax purposes under Section 7701 of the Code,
United States federal withholding Tax that exists on the date such change in entity classification is effective, except to the extent that such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from
the Company or such Bank was entitled, immediately prior to such change in entity classification becoming effective, to receive additional amounts from the Company; (B) with respect to a change by such Foreign Bank of the jurisdiction in which
it is organized, incorporated, controlled or managed, or in which it is doing business, from the date such Foreign Bank changed such jurisdiction, but only to the extent that such withholding Tax exceeds any withholding Tax that would have been
imposed on such Bank had it not changed the jurisdiction in which it is organized, incorporated, controlled or managed, or in which it is doing business; or (C) to the extent that the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or Additional
Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Bank to comply with the provisions of Section 11.3(d) or (f). 

(h) If any Bank requests compensation under this Section 11.3, or if the Company is required to pay any additional
amount to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 11.3, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with the object of avoiding or eliminating the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 11.3, provided that such
designation or assignment shall be on such terms that such Bank and its lending office, in such Bank’s sole judgment, suffer no economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The
Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 If any Bank
requests compensation under this Section 11.3, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 11.3,
then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse, in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.1, all
of such Bank’s interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees that shall assume such obligations (which assignee or assignees may be one or more other Banks); provided that (i) such Bank shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

A certificate of the relevant Bank setting forth the basis for any amounts (and the calculation thereof and methodology in calculating, each in reasonable
detail) claimed under this Section 11.3 shall be delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of a Bank to demand compensation of any
amount under this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate any such Bank for any amounts claimed under this Section that are
incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Company of the circumstances giving rise to such amounts and such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the circumstances giving rise
to such amounts have retroactive effect, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 83 

 Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 11.3 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(i) Any payment required to be made by the Company to any Bank under this Section 11.3 shall be deemed an Obligation
and be secured by the Collateral. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 11.3, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or certified copy of receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, provided
that nothing in this paragraph shall require the Company to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential). 

Section 11.4 Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW
PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and the Banks hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal or New York state court sitting in New York, New York
in any action or proceedings arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents and the Company and the Banks hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that any Agent or any Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Company or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 13.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

Section 11.5 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the
interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.6 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the
entire agreement and understanding among the Company and the Banks and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Company and the Banks relating to the subject matter thereof. 

Section 11.7 Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint and no Bank shall be
the partner or agent of any other. The failure of any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank from any of its obligations hereunder. 

Section 11.8 Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Company shall reimburse (i) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for any and all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Arranger in connection
with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, (ii) the Administrative Agent for any and all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the 

  
 84 

 
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), provided that in each case of this clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall only be required to reimburse the
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, (iii) the Collateral Agent and/or Collateral Monitoring Agent for any and all
reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid
or incurred by the Collateral Agent and/or Collateral Monitoring Agent in connection with its role as Collateral Agent and/or Collateral Monitoring Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent and/or
Collateral Monitoring Agent in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), provided that in each case of
this clause (iii), the Company shall only be required to reimburse the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for the Collateral Agent and/or Collateral Monitoring Agent and, if necessary, one local counsel in each
appropriate jurisdiction and (iv) each Agent and each Bank for any and all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid or incurred by such Agent or such Bank, as applicable, in connection with the collection, liquidation and enforcement of the Loan Documents and/or the Collateral in connection
with a Default which has occurred; provided that in each case of this clause (iv), the Company shall only be required to reimburse the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of (x) one counsel for the Administrative Agent and
the Banks, collectively, and (y) one counsel for the Collateral Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent, collectively, and, in the case of each of (x) and (y), if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, and in the case
of different defenses or conflict of interest between the Administrative Agent and the Banks (as determined by the Administrative Agent or affected Banks in their reasonable discretion), additional counsel for the Administrative Agent or affected
Banks taken as a whole. The Company further agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each an “Indemnified Party”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments and
liabilities which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of
any Loan hereunder and to reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the
reasonable documented fees and disbursements of (x) one counsel (selected by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent and the Banks (and each of their Related Parties), taken as a whole and (y) one counsel to the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent (and each of their Related Parties), taken as a whole, and in the case of a conflict of interest between the Administrative Agent and the Banks or any Related Party (as determined by the Administrative Agent
or affected Banks in their reasonable discretion), one additional counsel to all such affected conflicted Indemnified Parties similarly situated, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel and one applicable regulatory
counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and the Banks, taken as a whole, and one local counsel and one applicable regulatory counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Monitoring Agent, taken as a whole)) in connection therewith, including reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs in connection with the preparation of a defense in
connection therewith (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances, Indemnified Amounts (i) found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (ii) consisting of Taxes for which
an indemnification is provided or specifically excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3, (iii) resulting from a material breach by any Bank or any of its Related Parties (excluding, in each case, any Agent) of
the obligations of such Indemnified Party under any Loan Document, if the Company has obtained a final, non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction,

  
 85 

 
(iv) resulting from a willful and material breach by any Agent or any of its Related Parties of the obligations of such Indemnified Party under any Loan Document, if the Company has obtained a
final, non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (v) arising out of a claim that does not involve an act or omission of the Company or its
Subsidiaries and that is solely among Indemnified Parties (other than disputes involving claims against any Person in its capacity as, or fulfilling its role as, an arranger, swingline lender or administrative, collateral, collateral monitoring or
syndication agent or similar role in respect of the Loan Documents). No Indemnified Party 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 connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent arising from the bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment, or the material breach by any Bank or any of its Related
Parties (excluding, in each case, any Agent) of Section 11.11, or the willful and material breach by any Agent or any of its Related Parties of Section 11.11. 

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, and
no Indemnified Party shall assert, and by accepting the benefits of the Agreement waives, any claim against the Company (except to the extent of the Company’s indemnity obligations provided above with respect to third party claims (which shall
not, in any event include any third party claims by an Indemnified Party, except to the extent such indemnity claim is otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 11.8(a))), in each case, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the use of the proceeds hereof
or thereof. 
 (c) Each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Taxes attributable to such Bank that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

Section 11.9 Increased Costs; Inability to Determine Rates. 

(a) If, after the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, any law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) is adopted, or there is any change in the interpretation or administration thereof (provided that (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines,
requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee
on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States, Canadian or other foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a change in law if enacted, adopted, issued or
implemented after December 10, 2011), or the compliance by any Bank with such law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive, or interpretation or administration thereof (any such event described above, a “Change in
Law”), which, in any case, affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any entity controlling such Bank, and such Bank reasonably determines the amount of capital or liquidity required is
increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement or any of its Applicable Tranche Commitments hereunder and such increased capital or liquidity results in increased costs to such Bank, then, such Bank shall notify the Company of such fact
and shall provide a reasonably detailed description 

  
 86 

 
of such increased costs in the notice (“Increased Cost Notice”), together with documentation from the relevant regulatory body setting forth such increased capital requirement,
and the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to terminate such Bank’s Applicable Tranche Commitment (as the case may be) in accordance with Section 2.12. The Company will pay to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for any such increase of cost suffered pursuant to this Section 11.9(a). Any payment required to be made by the Company under this
Section 11.9(a) shall be deemed an Obligation and be secured by the Collateral. 
 (b) Except with respect to
Taxes, which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 11.3, if any Change in Law reasonably determined by the applicable Bank to be applicable shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Bank; or 
 (ii) impose
on any Bank, the London interbank market, the Canadian interbank market or any other interbank market applicable to any Applicable Reference Rate, any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans (other than Loans based on clause (a) of
the definition of Federal Funds Rate) made by such Bank or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Bank of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) (in each case other than Loans based on clause (a) of the definition of Federal Funds Rate) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then the Company will pay to such Bank, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Bank, subject to Section 2.12, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Any payment required to be made by the Company under this Section 11.9(b) shall be
deemed an Obligation and be secured by the Collateral. 
 (c) If (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that (1) no Successor Rate for an Applicable Reference Rate for an Applicable Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 11.9(e) or (f), as applicable, and the
circumstances under clause (i) of Section 11.9(e) or (f), as applicable, or the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date or Other Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Applicable
Reference Rate (as applicable) or (2) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining an Applicable Reference Rate in an Applicable Tranche with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Applicable Currency for any
determination date(s) with respect to an existing or proposed Loan, or (B) the Administrative Agent or the Required Applicable Banks in an Applicable Tranche (in the good faith determination of such Banks) determine that for any reason that the
Applicable Reference Rate (other than clause (a) of the definition of Federal Funds Rate) with respect to a proposed Loan for any determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the
affected Loans or determination dates(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Federal Funds Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component
in determining the Federal Funds Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Applicable Banks) described in clause (B) of this
Section 11.9(c), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Applicable Banks) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, 

  
 87 

 (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for an Advance of affected
Loans (to the extent of the affected Loans) or, failing that, (1) with respect to a pending request for Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Company will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance of Federal Funds
Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing Section 11.9(c)(y)) in the amount specified therein and (2) with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, at the election of the Company, such request shall be
converted into a request for an Advance of Federal Funds Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (subject to the foregoing Section 11.9(c)(y)) in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein; and 

(ii) in the case of any outstanding affected Loans, on the date that is three (3) Business Days after Administrative
Agent’s delivery of such notice to the Company, (1) such Loans will automatically be deemed to be converted to Federal Funds Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such Loans (and, promptly following
receipt by the Company of notice from the Administrative Agent of the amount of interest accrued on such affected Loans prior to the date of such deemed conversion, the Company shall pay such accrued interest in the applicable Alternative Currency)
or (2) if the Company has given notice to the Administrative Agent within such three-Business Day period of the Company’s election to repay such affected Loans, the Company shall repay such affected Loans (to the extent outstanding,
together with accrued interest, and which such payment of principal and interest shall be made in the applicable Alternative Currency) in full. 

(d) [Reserved]. 
 (e)
Replacement of Term SOFR or Term SOFR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error), or the Company or Required Applicable Banks in an Applicable Tranche notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of such Required Applicable Banks, a copy to Company) that the Company or such Required Applicable Banks (as applicable)
have determined, that: 
 (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month interest periods of Term
SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 

(ii) CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month
interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease,
provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which
one month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); 

  
 88 

 then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such
date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Term SOFR Scheduled
Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case,
without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Term SOFR Successor Rate”). 

If the Term SOFR Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable in
accordance with Section 3.6. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the
Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 11.9(e)(i) or
(ii) have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Term
SOFR Successor Rate determined in accordance with this Section 11.9 at the end of any relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other
adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method
for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate
and adjustments, shall constitute a “Term SOFR Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks
and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Required Applicable Banks in the Applicable Tranche have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Applicable Banks object to such amendment. 

For purposes of this Section 11.9(e), those Banks that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this
Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in U.S. Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Applicable Banks. 
 (f)
Replacement of Applicable Reference Rate (other than Term SOFR) or Other Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Applicable Banks in an Applicable Tranche, as applicable, notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of such Required Applicable Banks, a copy to the
Company) that the Company or such Required Applicable Banks, as applicable, have determined, that: 
 (i) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Applicable Reference Rate (other than Term SOFR) for an Applicable Currency because none of the tenors of such Applicable Reference Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is
available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 
 (ii) the Applicable
Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Applicable Reference Rate (other than Term SOFR) for an Applicable Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be
representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans 

  
 89 

 
denominated in such Applicable Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of such Applicable Reference Rate for such Applicable Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of such Applicable Reference Rate for such Applicable Currency
(including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Other Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or 

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S. are being executed or amended (as applicable) to
incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Applicable Reference Rate (other than Term SOFR) for an Applicable Currency; 

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 11.9(f)(i), (ii) or
(iii) have occurred with respect to the Other Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing such Applicable Reference Rate for an Applicable
Currency or any then current Other Successor Rate for an Applicable Currency in accordance with this Section 11.9 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for
similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Applicable Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration
to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Applicable Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be
published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, an
“Other Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed
amendment to all Banks and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Required Applicable Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Applicable Banks object to such amendment. 

For purposes of this Section 11.9(f), those Banks that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this
Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in the Applicable Currency shall be excluded from any determination of Required Applicable Banks. 

(g) The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Bank of the implementation of any Successor
Rate. 
 (h) Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market
practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor
Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 In connection with the implementation of
a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Successor
Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment
implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes to the Company and the Banks reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 
  

  
 90 

 (j) If, after the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, any Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Company that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for any Bank or its
applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, or to charge interest rates based upon an Applicable Reference Rate (other than clause (a) of the
definition of “Federal Funds Rate”), any alternative rate adopted pursuant to Section 11.9(d) or any Successor Rate adopted pursuant to Section 11.9(e) (any such Applicable Reference
Rate, alternative rate or Successor Rate, as applicable, the “Affected Rate”) or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Bank to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of any
Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by such Bank to the Company through the Administrative Agent (and confirmation that such Bank is generally suspending loans for similarly situated borrowers),
(i) any obligation of such Bank to make or maintain Loans bearing interest at an Affected Rate (each, an “Affected Rate Loan”) in the Alternative Currency shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of
such Bank making or maintaining Federal Funds Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate on which Federal Funds Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary
to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Federal Funds Rate, in each case until such Bank notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall, upon demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert such Loans if such Bank may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Loans (or, in the case of Federal Funds Rate Loans, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the interest rate on such Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Federal
Funds Rate). The Company shall also pay accrued interest on any amount so prepaid. 
 (k) All amounts due under this
Section 11.9 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor; provided that such amounts due pursuant to Section 11.9(a) and (b) shall be comparable (on a proportionate
basis and as determined in a commercially reasonable manner) to amounts such Bank charges similarly situated borrowers or account parties (or intends to charge substantially simultaneously) for such additional costs or such losses suffered on loans
for borrowers with similar credit facilities. For purposes of clarification, the foregoing shall not require that any Bank seek such charges against all such similarly situated borrowers or account parties prior to making any claim for costs or
losses hereunder. Failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing Sections 11.9(a) and (b) shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation,
provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the
Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 Section 11.10
Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the
remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 

  
 91 

 Section 11.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Banks and each Agent agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Company Information (as defined below), except that Company Information may be disclosed (a) to such Bank’s or Agent’s Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have a need to know such information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Company Information
and instructed to keep such Company Information confidential on terms substantially similar to this Section 11.11), (b) to the extent required or demanded by any governmental agency, self-regulatory authority or
representative thereof, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation relating to this Agreement or the Collateral
to which such Bank or such Agent, as applicable, is a party, or for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (d) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those described in this
Section 11.11, to (i) any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its
obligations, (e) with the consent of the Company, (f) to the extent such Company Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of its confidentiality obligations as described in this
Section 11.11, (g) to any other party to this Agreement or (h) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. 
 As used in this Section, “Company Information” means all
information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to Holdings or any of its subsidiaries (including the Company) or any of their respective Affiliates, or their businesses, other than any such information that
is available to any Agent or any Bank, as applicable, on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company. 

Section 11.12 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 

Section 11.13 USA Patriot Act Notification. The following notification is provided to the Company pursuant to Section 326 of
the USA Patriot Act: 
 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government of the United States of
America fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, record and update information that identifies each Person that opens an account, including any deposit
account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. Accordingly, when the Company opens an account, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks will ask for the Company’s
name, tax identification number, business address, Beneficial Ownership Certification and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks to identify the Company. The Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Banks may also ask to see the Company’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents. 

Section 11.14 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with this Agreement or any promissory note delivered
hereunder (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof), the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding
this Agreement provided by the 

  
 92 

 
Agents, the Banks and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents,
the Banks and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and
accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) (A) the Agents, the Banks and the Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant
parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither any Agent, any Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Company or any
of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein; and (iii) the Agents, the Banks and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and neither any Agent, any Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any Agent, any Bank or any Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty (except for any agency or fiduciary duty
obligations expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties) in connection with this Agreement or any promissory note delivered hereunder. 

Section 11.15 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company in respect of any such sum due from it to any Agent or any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
applicable Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the
Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to any Agent or any Bank from the Company in the Agreement Currency, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any
such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to any Agent or any Bank in such currency, such Agent or such
Bank, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Company (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

Section 11.16 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any party hereto, each such party acknowledges that any liability of any Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution
arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any Bank that is an Affected 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; 

  
 93 

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

Section 11.17 Bank ERISA Representation. 

(a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates,
and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company, that at least one of the following is and will be true: 

(i) such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or
more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or the Applicable Tranche Commitments, 

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a
class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect
to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Applicable Tranche Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii) (A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of
Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Applicable Tranche
Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Applicable Tranche Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of
sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Applicable Tranche Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, and such Bank. 
 (b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately
preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or such Bank has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a),
such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such 

  
 94 

 
Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent,
each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Clearing Member, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, any
Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Applicable Tranche Commitments
and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to
hereto or thereto). 
 Section 11.18 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (including without limitation, the Criminal Code
(Canada)) (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 Section 11.19 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”,
and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions
below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing
such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such
interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such
Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Bank shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 

  
 95 

 As used in this Section 11.19, the following terms have the
following meanings:

47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§
252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 
 “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial
contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

cross-currency rate swap transactions, currency options, spot contracts, or any other similar transactions or any combination of any of the foregoing (including any options to enter into any of the foregoing), whether or not any such transaction is
governed by or subject to any master agreement, and (b) any and all transactions of any kind, and the related confirmations, which are subject to the terms and conditions of, or governed by, any form of master agreement published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., any International Foreign Exchange Master Agreement, or any other master agreement (any such master agreement, together with any related schedules, a “Master Agreement”), including any

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 

Section 12.1 Setoff; Ratable Payments. 

(a) In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Banks or Agents under applicable law, if the Company becomes insolvent,
however evidenced, or any Default occurs and is continuing, any indebtedness or other obligation owing from any Bank or Agent to the Company (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available but
excluding (x) any accounts designated as or representing “customer segregated funds” accounts and (y) any accounts pledged to such Bank to secure an overdraft facility to ensure the settlement of foreign currency futures and
options contracts traded on the exchange of the Company, CBOT, NYMEX or any other exchange in respect of which the Company has equivalent authority) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Bank or Agent, as the
case may be, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.11, if any Bank, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon any Loan under any Applicable Tranche in a greater proportion than that received by any other Bank upon any Loan in such Applicable
Tranche constituting a portion of the same Advance, such 

  
 96 

 
Bank shall distribute to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to each of the other Banks’ pro rata share in such Applicable Tranche of such payment. Such payment shall be distributed
ratably between the Banks in such Applicable Tranche in proportion to each Bank’s respective share of the total Obligations in such Applicable Tranche outstanding under this Agreement. Any payment distributed pursuant to this subsection
(b) to the Administrative Agent shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Banks in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

(c) Subject to Section 2.11, if any Bank, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to
setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for any category of its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, in any case, in excess of its pro rata share thereof, such Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to take
such action necessary such that all Banks share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Obligations of the same category. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments
shall be made. 
 (d) The Company agrees that any Participant in a Loan may exercise setoff rights as provided by
Section 12.1(a) as though it were a Bank with respect to its participating interest, provided that such Participant has agreed that it shall be subject to Sections 12.1(b) and (c) as though it were
a Bank.

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE
DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent or any of their Related Parties (collectively, the
“Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Company, any Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, the
Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s or the Collateral Monitoring Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet. The Company and each Bank understands that the distribution of materials and other

for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Applicable Tranche Swingline Banks. In addition, each Bank agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be
sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Bank. Furthermore, each Public Bank agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Bank to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar

 ARTICLE XIV 

COUNTERPARTS 
 This
Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Company, the Agents and the Banks. This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related
to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. The Company agrees, on behalf of itself and
each Clearing Member, that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on the Company and each Clearing Member, as the case may be, to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any
Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Clearing Member enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually
executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same
Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by any Agent or any Bank of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form
(such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each Agent and each Bank may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in
the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an
Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no
Agent is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent
