forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to

  

 18 

 
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the Outstanding Amount of any Loan shall not exceed the Sublimit
applicable to such Loan, and (iv) Borrower shall not be in violation of the Leverage Threshold. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment and within the Sublimits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans. (a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of
Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and
(ii) on the requested date of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Committed Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Each Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof. Each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Committed Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans
are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with
respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Committed Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to
have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans
described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such 

 

 19 

 
Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Agent either by
(i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Agent by
Borrower. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or
all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Committed Loans and Borrower agrees to pay all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion.

 (d) Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to
the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans. 

2.03 Use of Proceeds; Sublimits. (a) Borrower will use the proceeds of the Committed Loans solely (i) to finance
the Repurchase Transaction subject to the Repurchase Sublimit, (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Repurchase Transaction, (iii) for working capital purposes
subject to the Working Capital Sublimit, and (iv) to finance capital expenditures subject to the Capital Expenditure Sublimit, (v) for Approved Acquisitions, and (vi) for general corporate purposes of Borrower. 

(b) The Outstanding Amount of any Loan shall not exceed the Sublimit applicable to such Loan. 

2.04 [Reserved]. 

2.05 Prepayments. (a) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed
Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and
(B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) any prepayment of Base
Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $200,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the 

 

 20 

 
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount
prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 

(b) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess. If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of any Loan exceeds the applicable Sublimit, Borrower shall immediately prepay such Loan in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

(c) If at any time the Borrower exceeds the Leverage Threshold, Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount to bring Borrower in
compliance with the Leverage Threshold. 
 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Borrower may, upon
notice to Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to
the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate
Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments
shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 (b) On July 31, 2009, and without notice from or the need for further action by
Agent, the Aggregate Commitments shall be automatically permanently reduced to $15 million. On February 28, 2010, and without notice from or the need for further action by Agent, the Aggregate Commitments shall be automatically permanently
reduced to $10 million. Such reductions shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. 

2.07 Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed
Loans outstanding on such date. 
 2.08 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below,
(i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and
(ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

 

 21 

 (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable
grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 (ii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the
principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

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

 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may
be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

2.09 Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to .25% multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability
Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. 

(b) Agent’s Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the letter
agreement, dated July 11, 2008 (the “Agent Fee Letter”), between Borrower and Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(c) Lenders’ Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages, an upfront fee in an aggregate amount of $62,500.00. Such upfront fee is for the credit facilities committed by Lenders under this Agreement and is fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each Lender
is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees;
Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the
basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any

  

 22 

 
Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the
financial statements of Borrower or for any other reason, Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Financial Covenant used in the definition “Applicable Margin” as calculated by Borrower as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Financial Covenant would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders,
promptly on demand by Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by Agent or any Lender), an
amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Agent or any Lender, as the
case may be, under Section 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 2.11 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of
any Lender made through Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

2.12 Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback. (a)(i) General. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made
without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected
in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  

 23 

 (ii) On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or fees are due hereunder or
under any Note, Borrower agrees to maintain on deposit in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with Agent (as such account shall be designated by Borrower in a written notice to Agent from time to time, the “Borrower
Account”) an amount sufficient to pay such principal, interest or fees in full on such date. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from the
Borrower Account, and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at Agent. Agent
agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.12(a(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Lenders agree to reimburse Borrower promptly based on its
Applicable Percentage for any amounts deducted from such accounts in excess of amount due hereunder and under any other Loan Documents. 

(b)(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such
Committed Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in
accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed
Borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share
of the applicable Committed Borrowing to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by
Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders severally agrees to
repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed

  

 24 

 
to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A
notice of Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in
the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and to make payments under Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such
participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
 (e)
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any
Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans
or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Committed Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
 (i)
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
  

 25 

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

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

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority,
Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this 

 

 26 

 
Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event
Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it
deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower
through Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion. 

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

 27 

 3.04 Increased Costs (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in
Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); 

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
  

 28 

 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent)
from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 
 (b) any failure by Borrower (for a
reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; 

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such
Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable
by Borrower to Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or
other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 

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

of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. Following the application of the
proceeds of each Committed Borrowing, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of Borrower only or of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 or
Section 7.05 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness and within the scope of Section 8.01(e) will be

to Agent and Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, 
  

 36 

 
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 
 5.16 Compliance with Laws.
Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which
(a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

true and correct U.S. taxpayer identification number is set forth on Schedule 10.02. 
 5.18 Intellectual
Property; Licenses, Etc. Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are

material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower,
threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.19 Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens. Borrower and each other Loan Party own the property granted by it as Collateral
under the Collateral Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens other than Permitted Liens. Upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements, and the taking of the other actions required by the Required Lenders, the Liens granted pursuant to
the Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first priority (except as to Permitted Liens of the type described in Section 7.01(i)) and perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Agent and Lenders. 
 5.20 Absence of FAS 150 Liabilities. No Equity Interest of Borrower or any of the Guarantors
requires classification as a liability in such Person’s statements of financial position pursuant to FAS 150.

defined under the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, or is deemed or considered a “bank” or a “bank holding company” subject to regulation under the BHC Act, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, is otherwise subject to
charter, examination, regulation or supervision under or by the BHC Act, the Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any other similar state or federal law, regulation or entity concerning the charter, regulation, examination or supervision of savings institutions, banks and/or banking operations generally, except

respects with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, and its implementing regulations (“FERPA”) and all similar laws to which Borrower is directly or indirectly subject. No government agency,

instructed to terminate Borrower’s access to personally identifiable information from education records.

information provided by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain
of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged
in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Borrower hereby agrees that so long as Borrower is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a
private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean
that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not
containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they
shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) Agent shall be
entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be under no
obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

Section 9.05 or otherwise for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of Agent), shall be
entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. 
 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include
the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business
with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  

 51 

 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or
applicable Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

(d) Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to Agent by Borrower, a Lender. Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the 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 or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. 
 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. 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, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that
such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

 

 52 

 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. 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 Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 
 9.06 Resignation of
Agent. Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be
a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent
is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided
for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

 

 53 

 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Lender holding a title listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent or a Lender hereunder. 

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, 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 Agent shall have made any
demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the
whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 9.10 Guaranty Matters. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. 
 9.11 Collateral
Matters. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of such Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed
to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 10.01, any action taken by the Required Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers
set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of all of Lenders, without the necessity

  

 54 

 
of any notice to or further consent from any Lender from time to time prior to, an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be
necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents. 
 (b) Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to
or held by Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in
connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale
or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and 
 (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any
property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types
or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.11. 
 (c) Subject to (b) above, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably
authorized by each Lender, to execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release or subordination of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided
that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without
recourse or warranty and (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by
Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral,
Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. 

(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the Collateral or the Intellectual Property exists or is
owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or in any of the Collateral Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to Agent in this Section 9.11 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem
appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders. 

 

 55 

 (e) Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’
security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon
Agent’s request herefore shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

entered into by Agent, or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand
its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time

 (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount
of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of
the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
been met; 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part
of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of
this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and 

(B) the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person
that is not a Lender, or an Affiliate of such Lender 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500.00; provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation
fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

  

 62 

 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural
person. 
 (vii) Notice Required. The assigning Lender shall provide written notice of any such assignment hereunder to
Agent and each Lender. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and
10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section. 
 (c) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) such Lender shall provide written
notice of the participation hereunder to Agent and each Lender. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of

  

 63 

 
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s
prior written consent. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall
release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g)
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any
applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

(h) Deemed Consent of Borrower. If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to
an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in Section 10.06(b)(i)(B)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered to Borrower
by the assigning Lender (through Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day. 

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Agent and Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority,
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations 
  

 64 

 
under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the
consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that
(a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will
handle such material nonpublic information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan
Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and
their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

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

 65 

 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

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

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.13 Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. 

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT SITTING IN HARTFORD COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE CONNECTICUT, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD
AND 
  

 66 

 
DETERMINED IN SUCH CONNECTICUT STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT AGENT, ANY LENDER MAY
OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02.
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 

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

10.15 Commercial Transaction. TO INDUCE AGENT, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF LENDERS, TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS EVIDENCED
BY THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER AGREES THAT THEE ARE COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND NOT CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO NOTICE AND A HEARING UNDER CHAPTER 903a OF

  

 67 

 
THE CONNECTICUT GENERAL STATUTES, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER FEDERAL OR STATE STATUTE OR STATUTES OR FOREIGN LAWS AFFECTING PREJUDGMENT REMEDIES, AND AUTHORIZES AGENT’S ATTORNEY TO ISSUE
A WRIT FOR A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WITHOUT COURT ORDER, PROVIDED THE COMPLAINT SHALL SET FORTH A COPY OF THIS WAIVER, AND WAIVE ANY CLAIM IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE AGAINST AGENT’S ATTORNEY WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF SUCH ISSUANCE OF A WRIT FOR A
PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WITHOUT COURT ORDER. FURTHER, IN THE EVENT AGENT, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF LENDERS, SEEKS TO TAKE POSSESSION OF ANY OR ALL OF BORROWER’S PROPERTY OR OTHER ASSETS BY COURT PROCESS OR OTHER METHOD AVAILABLE UNDER THE LAW,
BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY BOND AND ANY SURETY OR SECURITY RELATING THERETO REQUIRED BY ANY STATUTE, COURT RULE OR OTHERWISE AS AN INCIDENT TO SUCH POSSESSION, AND WAIVES ANY DEMAND FOR POSSESSION PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY SUIT OR ACTION
TO RECOVER WITH RESPECT THERETO. SPECIFICALLY, BORROWER RECOGNIZES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT THE EXERCISE BY AGENT OF THE RIGHTS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY RESULT IN THE ATTACHMENT OF OR LEVY AGAINST BORROWER’S PROPERTY, AND SUCH WRIT FOR A PREJUDGMENT
REMEDY WILL NOT HAVE THE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OR SCRUTINY OF A COURT OF LAW OR OTHER JUDICIAL OFFICER AND BORROWER WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANY NOTICE OR PRIOR HEARING WHERE BORROWER MIGHT CONTEST SUCH A PROCEDURE. THE INTENT OF BORROWER IS TO GRANT
TO LENDERS FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN SUCH A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY AND TO EXPRESS ITS BELIEF THAT ANY SUCH PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OBTAINED IS VALID AND CONSTITUTIONAL UNLESS A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SHOULD DETERMINE
OTHERWISE. 
 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 10.17 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to execution of the Loan Documents.

	  	_________

 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to                      or registered assigns
(“Lender”), in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal amount of each Loan from time to time made by the Lender to Borrower under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of
August 26, 2008 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Agreement;” the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), among Borrower, the Lenders
from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. 
 Borrower promises to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to Agent for the
account of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office. If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date
thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Agreement. 

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Agreement, is entitled to the benefits thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part
subject to the terms and conditions provided therein. This Note is also entitled to the benefits of the Guaranty and is secured by the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuation of one or more of the Events of Default specified in the
Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable all as provided in the Agreement. Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records
maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Lender may also attach schedules to this Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand,
dishonor and non-payment of this Note. 
 THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF CONNECTICUT.

each of the Obligors party thereto and do not contravene any law, rule or regulation applicable to any Obligor or any of the terms of any other indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Obligor is a party. The obligations contained in this
Agreement and each other document executed in connection herewith to which any of the Obligors is a party, taken together with the obligations under the Loan Documents, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against each

Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. 

§6. Amendments to Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement. Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by (i) inserting the words “, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,” after the words “any Lender” in line 7 of such Section 2.01 and
(ii) deleting the last sentence of such Section 2.01 and replacing such last sentence with the following: 

“Committed Loans may be only Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.” 

§7. Amendment to Article II of the Credit Agreement. Article II of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to
add the following new Section 2.01.A. after Section 2.01 as follows: 
 2.01.A Increase of
Commitments, (a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.01.A, request that the Aggregate Commitments be increased; provided that (i) the Aggregate
Commitments shall at no time exceed $50,000,000; and (ii) each such request shall be in a minimum amount of at least $2,500,000 and increments of $2,500,000 in excess thereof. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Agent
and the Lenders by the Borrower not less than forty-five (45) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a “Commitment Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase
in the Aggregate Commitments and the proposed effective date of such increase. In the event of such a Commitment Increase Notice, each of the Lenders shall be given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase ratably in proportions that
their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitments. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase Notice. On or prior to the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of
the Commitment Increase Notice, each Lender shall submit to the Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Agent being
herein a “Lender Increase Notice”). Any Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase in its
Commitment. In the event that the increases of Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by the Borrower in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Agent shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Borrower’s Commitment Increase Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Borrower, not later than twenty (20) Business Days prior
to the proposed effective date the Borrower may notify the Agent of any financial institution that shall have 
  

 -7- 

 
agreed to become a “Lender” party hereto (a “Proposed New Lender”‘) in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be consented
to by the Agent. If the Borrower shall not have arranged any Proposed New Lender to commit to the shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Commitment Increase Notice to the
aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Lender, if applicable, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Lender’s and Proposed New Lenders’ Commitment (the “Effective Commitment Amount”) and the amount of the
Aggregate Commitments, which amounts shall be effective on the following Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:
(i) for so long as each is a Lender hereunder, each of Bank of America, N.A. and Webster Bank, National Association shall have consented, in their sole discretion, in writing to any such increase in the Aggregate Commitments and any Proposed
New Lender (such written consent to be required even if any such Lender has denied or is deemed to have denied any increase in its own Commitment hereunder), (ii) the Borrower shall have obtained the consent thereto of each Guarantor and its
reaffirmation of the Loan Document(s) executed by it, which consent and reaffirmation shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (iii) as of the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the
proposed effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitments, all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date and no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which
constitutes a Default, an Event of Default or Unmatured Default, (iv) counsel for the Borrowers and Guarantors shall have provided to the Agent, if requested, a supplemental opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and
(v) the Borrower and the Proposed New Lender(s) shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as may be required under Article IV or that the Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with
such increase or in order to make the Proposed New Lender a party to this Agreement as a Lender. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Aggregate Commitments, the Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower and each Lender
of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitments that is supported by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Lender and shall have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder or thereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time or to provide any consent
under this subsection (a). 
  

 -8- 

 (b) For purposes of this subsection (b), (i) the term
“Buying Lender(s)” shall mean (1) each Lender whose Effective Commitment Amount is greater than its Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitments, and (2) each Proposed New Lender that is
allocated an Effective Commitment Amount in connection with any Commitment Increase Notice, and (ii) the term “Selling Lender(s)” shall mean each Lender whose Commitment is not being increased from that in effect prior to such
increase in the Aggregate Commitments. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to clause (a) above, each Selling Lender hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to each Buying Lender,
without recourse, warranty, or representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Lender’s right, title and interest in and to its outstanding Loans in the respective dollar amounts and
percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling Lender’s outstanding Loans shall equal such Selling Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding
Loans. Effective on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to clause (a) above, each Buying Lender hereby purchases and accepts such grant, assignment and conveyance from the Selling Lenders. Each Buying
Lender hereby agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the outstanding Loans purchased hereby shall equal the respective dollar amount necessary so that, from and after such payments, each Buying Lender’s outstanding Loans
shall equal such Buying Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding Loans. Such amount shall be payable on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitments by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent. The Agent, in turn, shall wire transfer any such funds received to the Selling Lenders, in same day funds, for the sole account of the Selling Lenders. Each Selling Lender hereby represents and
warrants to each Buying Lender that such Selling Lender owns the Loans being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or encumbered any or all of its interest in such Loans, except for participations which will be
extinguished upon payment to Selling Lender of an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Loans being sold by such Selling Lender. Each Buying Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for each Selling Lender’s representations
and warranties contained in the foregoing sentence, each such Buying Lender has entered into its Commitment with respect to such increase on the basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit
or implicit written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Lenders or the Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Selling Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by each Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Loan hereunder on the terms and in the manner as set
forth in Section 3.05.

 §8. Amendments to Subsection (b) of Section 2.02 of the Credit
Agreement. Subsection (b) of Section 2.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of such subsection (b): 

“; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by
Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing first, shall be applied, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to Borrower as provided above.”

 §9. Amendment to Subsection (a) of Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement. A new subsection
(vii) is hereby added at the end of Subsection (a) of Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement as follows: 

“, (vii) for the issuance of Letters of Credit subject to the L/C Sublimit and (viii) to fund Permitted
Acquisitions.” 
 §10. Amendments to Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement. Section 2.04 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the placeholder “[Reserved]” and insert the following in its place: 

2.04 Letters of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements
of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, and
(2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C
Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit. Each request by Borrower for the
issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits,
and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit,
if: 
 (A) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date
of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 
  

 -10- 

 (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than
90 days beyond the Maturity Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date. 
 (iii) The L/C Issuer
shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer
with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of
credit generally; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an
initial stated amount less than $150,000; 
 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other
than Dollars; 
 (E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.04(c) exists or any
Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender; or 

(F) unless specifically provided for in this Agreement, such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic
reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
 (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any
Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. 

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

 

 -11- 

 (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C
Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” or “Agent” as used in Article
IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the
L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two
Business Days (or such later date and time as Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial
issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof;
(C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by
such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter
of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or
amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Agent may require. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt
of any L/C Application at the address set forth in Section 10.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related correspondence, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has received a copy of such L/C
Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, 

 

 -12- 

 
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the
case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 

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

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through
Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to
the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available to Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurodollar Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate
Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing 

 

 -13- 

 
in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In
such event, each Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such
Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04. 
 (iv) Until each
Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount
shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. 
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans
or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment
made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any
Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in 
  

 -14- 

 
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest
thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by Agent. 

(ii) If any payment received by Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and
to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any Subsidiary
may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

 

 -15- 

 (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any Subsidiary. 

Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the
validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C
Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
