 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDITS 

Section 2.01 Initial Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make
its portion of the Initial Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and without affecting any
other provisions hereof), the funded portion of the Initial Term Loan to be made on the Closing Date (i.e., the amount advanced to Borrower on the Closing Date) shall be equal to 99.5% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loan (it
being agreed that the full principal amount of each the Initial Term Loan shall be the “initial” principal amount of such Loan and deemed outstanding on the Closing Date and the Borrower shall be obligated to repay 100% of the principal
amount of each such Loan as provided hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total Commitment as of the Closing Date (less any applicable original issue discount described above) is not drawn on the Closing Date, such undrawn amount shall
automatically be cancelled.  
 Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Borrowings; Several Obligations. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall
be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Types of Loans. Subject to
Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and
not less than $500,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of four (4) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding, plus two additional Eurodollar
Borrowings for each additional Class of Loans created after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to such Class of Loans. 
 (d) Notes. The Loans
made by each Lender, if requested by such Lender, shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated, in the case of (i) any Lender party hereto as of the date of this
Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption or Incremental Amendment, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption or Incremental Amendment,
payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Commitments, and otherwise duly completed. In the event that any Lender’s Commitment increases or decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to Section 2.06,

  
 29 

 
Section 12.04(b) or otherwise), if requested by such Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease, a new Note payable to
such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Commitment, as applicable, after giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly completed. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by
each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its applicable Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any
continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect any Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect
the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note. 
 Section 2.03 Procedure for Advance of Loans. 

(a) Initial Term Loan. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of
Exhibit B (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) prior to 11:00 a.m., Central time, on the Closing Date requesting that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as an ABR Loan on such date (provided that the Borrower may
request, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a Eurodollar Loan if the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.02 of this Agreement). Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender thereof. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (b) Incremental Term Loans. Any Incremental Term Loans shall be
borrowed pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.06. 
 Section 2.04 Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in
the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall
be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03(a) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the

  
 30 

 
effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or e-mail to the Administrative
Agent of a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c)
Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Sections 2.04(c)(ii) and (iii) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

(d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) Effect of Failure to
Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing
shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 31 

 Section 2.05 Funding of Loans. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Central time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to
disburse the proceeds of the Initial Term Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such Person or Persons as may be designated by the Borrower in writing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for
its 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 its Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(b) Funding by the Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.06 Incremental Term Loans. 

(a) At any time, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more incremental
term loan commitments in respect of loans which may be term loans of the same Class as any outstanding Loans or a new Class of term loans (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to
make an incremental term loan (any such incremental term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided that (i) the total aggregate amount for all such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall not (as of any date of
incurrence thereof) exceed an amount determined as the difference of (x) $220,000,000 minus (y) the aggregate amount of all increases of the initial revolving commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on or after the Closing
Date, and (ii) the total aggregate amount of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Term Loan made thereunder) shall be in integral multiples of $5,000,000 and shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000
or, in each case if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). Each such notice shall specify the proposed effective date (the “Incremental Effective Date”) of any Incremental Term
Loan Commitment, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The Borrower may invite any Lender, any 

  
 32 

 
Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person consented to by the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under
Section 12.04(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Incremental Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (any such Person, an “Incremental
Lender”) (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Loan Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any incremental Term Loan Commitment).
Any proposed Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment. 

(b) Any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective as of such Incremental Effective Date; provided that: 

(i) no Default shall exist on such Incremental Effective Date before or after giving effect to (A) any Incremental Term Loan Commitment,
(B) the making of any Incremental Term Loan pursuant thereto and (C) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith; 

(ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received from the Borrower a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower
demonstrating that the Borrower will be in (x) Pro Forma Compliance under the Revolving Credit Agreement and (y) pro forma compliance (as determined in accordance with Section 1.05 of the Revolving Credit Agreement as in
effect on the date hereof) with a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00, in each case both before and after giving effect to (A) any Incremental Term Loan Commitment, (B) the making of any
Incremental Term Loan pursuant thereto and (C) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith and assuming the revolving commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement are fully drawn; 

(iii) the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including
Permitted Acquisitions); 
 (iv) Indebtedness incurred in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Term
Loan made thereunder) shall constitute Secured Obligations of the Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Secured Obligations on a pari passu basis; 

(v) in the case of each Incremental Term Loan (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Incremental Amendment), (A) such
Incremental Term Loan will mature and amortize in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Incremental Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan, and the Borrower, but will not in any event, as of the Incremental Effective
Date, have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Loan with the latest Maturity Date or a final scheduled maturity date earlier than such Maturity Date; (B) the
All-In-Yield for such Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Incremental Lenders and the Borrower on the applicable Incremental Effective Date 

  
 33 

 
and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided that if the All-In-Yield in respect of any Incremental Term Loan incurred within twelve months after the Closing Date
exceeds the All-In-Yield for the Initial Term Loan by more than 50 basis points, then the All-In-Yield for the Initial Term Loan shall be increased so that the All-In-Yield in respect of such Initial Term Loan is equal to the All-In-Yield for such
Incremental Term Loan minus 50 basis points; and (C) except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Initial
Term Loan, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and 
 (vi) the Borrower shall deliver or
cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Loan Party authorizing such Incremental Term Loan) as
required by the terms of the Incremental Amendment. 
 (c) On any Incremental Effective Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitment
becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and
shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant thereto (unless the Incremental Term Loan Commitments are delayed draw, in which case, the Incremental Term Loans may
be funded after the Incremental Term Loan Commitments become effective on the Incremental Effective Date). 
 (d) The Incremental Term Loans
shall be deemed to be Loans under and as defined in this Agreement. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders providing such
Incremental Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to any Class of Loans, each existing on the Incremental Effective Date shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided
that in the case of loans that are term loans of the same Class, the terms, provisions and documentation of such loans shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees) to the applicable Class of
Loans being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Effective Date. 
 (e) Any Incremental Lender making any
Incremental Term Loan shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Lenders under the this Agreement and each Incremental Term Loan shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the Initial Term Loan (such prepayments to
be shared pro rata on the basis of the original aggregate funded amount thereof among the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loans). 

(f) Such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Amendments executed and delivered by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (each of which Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary
or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.06).

principal amount of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date, except as the amounts of individual installments may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.04. If not sooner paid, the Initial Term Loan shall be paid in full, together with
accrued interest thereon, on the Termination Date of the Initial Term Loan. 
 (b) Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Incremental Lender, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan (if any) in accordance with the applicable Incremental Amendment. 

(c) Extended Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Extending Lender the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of each Extended Term Loan (if any) in accordance with the applicable Extension Amendment. 
 Section 3.02
Interest. 
 (a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of
(i) the Alternate Base Rate plus (ii) the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (b)
Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (ii) the
Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then all Loans outstanding, in the case of an Event of Default, and such overdue amount, in the case of a failure to pay amounts when due, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a
rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus (i) when used with respect to obligations other than Loans, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.02(a), and (ii) when used with respect to
Loans, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans but, in each case, in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

  
 35 

 (d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Termination Date of such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Termination Date of such Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and
(iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation
would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base
Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto. 

Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by
the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made either as an ABR Borrowing or at an alternate rate of interest
determined by the Required Lenders as their cost of funds. 
 Section 3.04 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in
Section 3.04(b)(v) below and as required under Section 5.02), to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(a)(ii). 

  
 36 

 (ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or
e-mail) of any prepayment hereunder (A) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (B) in the case of prepayment of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to
be prepaid; provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (provided that the failure of such condition shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations under Section 5.02 in respect thereof). Promptly following receipt of
any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02 and shall be applied with respect to each such Class for which prepayments will be made, in the event there are amortization payments on any Loan, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the applicable Loans
on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.04, any Incremental Amendment or Extension Amendment may provide (including on an optional basis as elected by the Borrower) for a less than
ratable application of offers to prepay for any Class of the Loans established thereunder. Prepayments pursuant to Section 3.04(a) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. 

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) [Reserved] 
 (ii) On each
date on or after the Closing Date on which the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale made pursuant to Section 9.11(j), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied by the
Borrower on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with Section 3.04(b)(iv); provided, however, that such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default then exists
and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used to purchase Property (other than inventory and working capital) used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 within 180 days following the date of such Asset Sale, and
provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 3.04(b)(ii) are not so reinvested within such 180-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as
the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as
provided above in this Section 3.04(b)(ii) without regard to the preceding proviso. 
 (iii) On each date on or after the
Closing Date upon which the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance
with the requirements of Section 3.04(b)(iv); provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default then exists, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that such Net Cash
Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any Property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within 180 

  
 37 

 
days following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used within 180 days after
the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion
shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 3.04(b)(iii) without regard to the proviso or the immediately preceding proviso. 

(iv) Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall be applied with respect to each such Class for which
prepayments will be made, in the event there are amortization payments on any Loan, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Loans (including any Incremental Loans) on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 3.04, any Incremental Amendment or Extension Amendment may provide (including on an optional basis as elected by the Borrower) for a less than ratable application of offers to prepay for any Class of the Loans
established thereunder. Prepayments pursuant to Section 3.04(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to Section 3.04(b) shall be
applied, first, ratably to any ABR Borrowings then outstanding, and, second, to any Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Borrowing in order of priority
beginning with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(v) Call Premium. In the event that, during the six month period following the Closing Date, the Borrower (A) makes any
prepayment of the Initial Term Loan in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below), or (B) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, in either case the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a fee in an amount equal to, (x) in the case of clause (A), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid, and (y) in
the case of clause (B), a payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are affected by such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be due and
payable within five (5) Business Days of the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. For the purpose of this clause (v), “Repricing Transaction” means, other than in connection with a Change
of Control, (1) any prepayment or repayment of the Initial Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Initial Term Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loans or other Indebtedness bearing interest with an
All-In-Yield less than the All-In-Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans (as such comparative yields are determined in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent), and (2) any amendment to the interest rate or Applicable Margin
with respect to the Initial Term Loan that reduces the All-In-Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loan. 
 (c) No
Re-borrowings. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.04 may not be re-borrowed. 

  
 38 

 Section 3.05 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Joint Arrangers, the Agents and the
Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing, including in any Fee Letter, in the amounts and at the times so specified. 

Section 3.06 Extension of Maturity Date. 

(a) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”), which shall
promptly notify the applicable Lenders, request one or more extensions of the maturity date applicable to the Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche” and the extended Loans of such Class, the
“Extended Term Loans”) then in effect (such existing maturity date applicable to any Class of Loans being the “Existing Maturity Date”) to a date specified in such Extension Request. 

(b) Each Extension Request shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the extension shall be effective, which shall be a date
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Within the time period specified in such Extension Request, each applicable Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or
withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). Any Lender not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
applicable Lenders of such Lenders’ responses. 
 (c) The maturity date applicable to any Class of Loans shall be extended only
with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche held by such Lenders that have consented thereto (the Lenders providing term loans that so consent being the “Extending Lenders” and the Lenders providing Loans that declined
being the “Non-Extending Lenders”) (it being understood and agreed that, except for the consents of Extending Lenders no other consents shall be required hereunder for such extensions). If so extended, the scheduled maturity
date with respect to the Loans of the relevant Class held by the Extending Lenders shall be extended to the date specified in the Extension Request, which shall become the new maturity date of the applicable Class of Loans (such maturity date for
the Loans so affected, the “Extended Maturity Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm to the applicable Extending Lenders and Non-Extending Lenders such extension, specifying the effective date of such
extension (the “Extension Effective Date”), the Existing Maturity Date applicable to the Non-Extending Lenders, and the Extended Maturity Date (after giving effect to such extension) applicable to the Extending Lenders.

 (d) The proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under the
applicable tranche of Loans and (y) be identical to the Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that: 

(i) the maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be later than the maturity date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche; 

(ii) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the
scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; 

  
 39 

 (iii) the All-In-Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest
rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In-Yield for the Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; 

(iv) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the final maturity date of the
Loans held by the Non-Extending Lenders that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and 

(v) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Extending Lenders; provided that no Extended Term
Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is
accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Loans. 
 (e) As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Extension Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and
warranties made by any Loan Party in this Agreement and any Loan Document that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct, and the representations that are not so qualified shall be true and correct in all
material respects, in each case on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case any such representation and warranty that is qualified by
materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and any such representation and warranty that is not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and no Default
exists or will exist as of the Extension Effective Date. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall have the
right, at any time after any applicable Extension Effective Date and prior to any applicable Existing Maturity Date, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require
each such Non-Extending Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (to the extent such
consent is required pursuant to Section 12.04), which consent(s) shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) each Non-Extending Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have 

  
 40 

 
paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 12.04(b)(iv) and (iv) in no event shall the Borrower be entitled to exercise its
replacement right under this clause (f) with respect to a Non-Extending Lender that is also acting as the Administrative Agent. Any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute an Extending Term Lender. 

(g) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 12.02, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (without the consent of
any other Lenders except to the extent required under subsection (c) above) to enter into any amendments (each an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
that the Administrative Agent believes are necessary to appropriately reflect, or provide for the integration of, any extension of the maturity date and other amendments applicable to any Class of Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06.

 (h) At no time shall there be Classes of Loans created that have more than three (3) different maturity dates. 

ARTICLE IV 

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS 

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 11:00 a.m., Central time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, deduction,
recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except that payments pursuant to
Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and,
in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

  
 41 

 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and other such
obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and such other obligations 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 Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that (A) 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 (B) the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. 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 each Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

Section 4.02 Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by
it pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Section 4.02 or otherwise hereunder then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (a) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (b) hold any such amounts in a
segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder, in the case of each of (a) and (b) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion. If at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent receives any payment in respect of principal of a Loan while one or more Defaulting Lenders is a party to this Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which any such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, all
principal will be applied ratably as provided in Section 10.02(c). 

  
 42 

 Section 4.04 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender the Loans held by such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may
take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each adversely affected Lender
which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than all other Lenders or all other adversely affected Lenders, as the case may be, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

ARTICLE V 

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY 

Section 5.01 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 Adjusted LIBO Rate); 

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes covered by Section 5.03 or Connection Income Taxes 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 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 Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, 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, the 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 regarding capital or liquidity requirements and affecting such
Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, 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 

  
 43 

 
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 and
liquidity), then from time to time the 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 Sections 5.01(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or
delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 365 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the
event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss,
cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 

A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

  
 44 

 Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or
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 5.03(a)), the
Administrative Agent, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall timely
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by
the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.03(a), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (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 5.03) payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, 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 under this Section 5.03 delivered to
the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do
so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(d)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this paragraph (d). 

  
 45 

 (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Status of
Lenders. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Withholding Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as will enable the Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A) and 5.03(f)(ii)(B) and
Section 5.03(g) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution, or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the
legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a
“United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, 
 (A) any Lender that is a “United States person”
as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Withholding Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Withholding Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Withholding Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally
entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from or reduction of, United States federal
withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States
federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

  
 46 

 (2) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”), and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign
Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

(5) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent), executed originals
of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification, or promptly notify the Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the 

  
 47 

 
Administrative 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 the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.03 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(h) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 5.03(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or requires the
Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, 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 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.04(b)),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the 

  
 48 

 
assignment fee specified in Section 12.04(b)(iv), (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.04(b)(v) or Section 5.02), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. and (v) in the case of an assignment resulting from a
Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver
by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if such Lender
or any of its Affiliates is a Secured Hedging Agreement Counterparty with any outstanding Secured Hedging Agreements with any Loan Party (to the extent obligations under such Secured Hedging Agreements constitute Secured Obligations), unless on or
prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, all such Secured Hedging Agreements have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Lender or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has received payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in
connection with such termination or novation. 
 Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again
make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all
Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of
principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

 ARTICLE VII 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries), and each Guarantor by its execution of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement,
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: 
 Section 7.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority, and has all material governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary, to own its assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where
failure to have such power, authority, licenses, authorizations, consents, approvals and qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.02 Authority; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action (including, without limitation, any action required to be taken by any class of directors of the Borrower or any other Person, whether interested or disinterested, in order
to ensure the due authorization of the Transactions). Each Loan Document to which a Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, as
applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 Section 7.03 Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do
not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any other third Person (including shareholders or any class of directors, whether interested or disinterested, of the Borrower
or any other Person), nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect other than (i) the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement and (ii) those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained, would not
cause a Default hereunder, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or do not have an adverse effect on the enforceability of the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate (i) any applicable law or regulation,
(ii) any Organization Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture or other agreement regarding Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, (d) will not violate or result in a default under any other agreement or other instrument binding upon the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, or its Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, other than such violations or defaults which would not cause a Default hereunder, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or do not have an adverse effect on the enforceability of any Loan Documents, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents). 

  
 54 

 Section 7.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders
equity and cash flows (A) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (B) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2014, certified by its chief financial officer (or the chief financial officer of the General Partner) (collectively, the “Borrower Financial Statements”), (ii) (A) an audited consolidated
balance sheet of the Frio Group and the Related Affiliates as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, and (B) the Frio
Group’s (together with certain of its Affiliates’) consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and the related consolidated unaudited statement of income and cash flows for the three-month period then ended
(collectively, the “Frio Financial Statements”), and (iii) the Borrower’s pro forma summary financial statements, Consolidated EBITDA and other operating data in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on such date in the case of any balance sheet and as of the beginning of all of the periods presented in the case of Consolidated EBITDA and
other operating data (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements” and, together with the Borrower Financial Statements and the Frio Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The
Borrower Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP.
The Frio Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Frio Group and the Related Affiliates on a consolidated basis as of the respective dates thereof and for the
periods therein referred to, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved. The Frio Financial Statements have been prepared from and are in accordance with the accounting records of the Frio Group and the Related
Affiliates (and such records are true, correct and accurately reflect in all material respects all transactions engaged in by the members of the Frio Group). Since January 1, 2012, except as set forth in the Frio Financial Statements, there has
been no material change of the accounting (tax or otherwise) policies, practices or procedures of any member of the Frio Group. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower, based on the assumptions stated
therein (which assumptions were and are believed by the Borrower, on the date thereof and the Closing Date, to be reasonable in light of then current conditions and facts then known by the Borrower), are based on the best information available to
the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions, and present fairly in all material respects the pro forma consolidated financial
position and results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such periods, assuming that the Transactions have occurred at such dates and at the beginnings of such periods. The representations in this
Section 7.04(a), as applicable, are subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and accruals and the absence of notes.  

  
 55 

 (b) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has, on the date hereof
after giving effect to the Transactions, any Material Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock) or any contingent liabilities, off-balance sheet liabilities or partnerships, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments
or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in the Financial Statements and under the Revolving Credit Facility. 

(d) The projections regarding the financial performance of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders have been
prepared in good faith by the Borrower and based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time such projections were provided (and on the Closing Date in the case of forecasts provided prior to the Closing Date) (it being
recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period(s) covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and that such differences may be
material and that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary makes any representation that such projections will be realized). 

Section 7.05 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their Properties (a) not fully covered by insurance (except for normal deductibles) as to which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions.

 Section 7.06 Environmental Matters. Except for such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (a) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and each of their respective Properties and operations

 (b)
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have obtained all Environmental Permits required for their respective operations and each of their Properties, with all such Environmental Permits being currently in full force and effect, and none of the Borrower

be protested or denied; 
 (c) there are no claims, demands, suits, orders, inquiries, investigations, requests for information or
proceedings concerning any violation of, or any liability (including as a potentially responsible party) under, any applicable Environmental Law that is pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or any of their respective Properties or as a result of any operations at such Properties; 

  
 56 

 (d) none of the Properties of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contain or have contained any:

Environmental Laws with respect to the investigation, remediation, abatement, removal, or monitoring of any Hazardous Materials at, under, or Released or threatened to be Released from any real properties offsite the Borrower’s or any
Subsidiary’s Properties and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in the receipt of such written notice; 

(g) there has been no exposure of any Person or Property to any Hazardous Materials as a result of or in connection with the operations and
businesses of any of the Borrower’s or the Subsidiaries’ Properties that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for a claim for damages or compensation, and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions or
circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in the receipt of notice regarding such exposure; and 
 (h) the Borrower has
provided, or has caused its Subsidiaries to provide, to the Lenders complete and correct copies of all environmental site assessment reports, investigations, studies, analyses, and correspondence on environmental matters (including matters relating
to any alleged non-compliance with or liability under Environmental Laws) that are in any of the Borrower’s or the Subsidiaries’ possession or control and relating to their respective Properties or operations thereon. 

Section 7.07 Compliance with the Laws and Agreements; No Defaults. 

(a) Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Governmental Requirements applicable to it or its Property and all
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the ownership of its Property and the conduct of its
business, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 57 

 (b) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default nor has any event or circumstance
occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or would require the Borrower or a Subsidiary to Redeem or make any offer to Redeem under any indenture, note, credit
agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Material Indebtedness is outstanding or by which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Properties is bound. 

(c) No Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 7.08 Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

Section 7.09 Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.09, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or
caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in
respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, adequate. No currently outstanding Tax Lien has been filed against the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Properties, and, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted against the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Properties with respect to any such Tax or other such governmental charge, in each case, except with respect to Taxes
that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

regarding each Plan.

the Code, except where the failure to so establish and maintain such Plan could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) No act, omission or transaction has occurred which could result in imposition on the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate

fiduciary duty liability damages under section 409 of ERISA. 
 (d) Full payment when due has been made of all amounts which the Borrower,
the Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate is required under the terms of each Plan or applicable law to have paid as contributions to such Plan as of the date hereof.

Properties, either (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent, or (ii) deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title information previously delivered to the

 72 

 
minimis Property excluded in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), (ii) cause the owner of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary to pledge such Equity Interests (including,

execute and deliver such Security Instruments (in proper form for filing, registration or recordation, as applicable) as are requested by the Administrative Agent, and take such actions necessary or advisable to subject such Material Real Property
to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments, provided, however, that with respect to any real Property, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the costs, financial and otherwise, of obtaining or maintaining a Lien,
perfecting a Lien and/or complying with all Governmental Requirements with respect to such a Lien outweigh the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby, the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower of such determination
and, (x) if such real Property is not then subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments, such real Property shall not be required to become subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments and, (y) if such real Property is

if the Lenders assume the obligations of such Loan Party under such agreement or contract and the Lenders take the actions required under the foregoing clause (A). 

  
 73

Excluded Subsidiary by written notification thereof to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) no Default exists at the time of or after giving effect to such designation, and (ii) such designation is deemed to be an Investment

payments under expense sharing agreements with such Excluded Subsidiaries that are consistent with past practices and/or required by any applicable Governmental Authority. 

(b) will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Indebtedness of any of the
Excluded Subsidiaries.

last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, the Borrower shall have entered into Hedging Agreements for the purpose of hedging the Borrower’s exposure to variable interest

Loans and Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. Such Hedging Agreements shall be in the form of floating-to-fixed rate swaps, the purchase of interest rate caps, or any similar hedging instrument designed to mitigate interest rate risk,
in each case approved by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.19 Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell Provisions. The Borrower
hereby guarantees the payment and performance of all Secured Obligations of each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to
time by each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) in order for such Loan Party to honor its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement including obligations with respect to Hedging Agreements (provided, however, that the
Borrower shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Loan Document, as it relates to such
other Loan Parties, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until all
Indebtedness is paid in full to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, and all of the Lenders’ Commitments are terminated. The Borrower intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to
constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 8.20 Post-Closing Obligations. The Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, as the case may be, each of the items

any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (it being understood that the term “agent” used herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine or any other applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between independent contracting parties); 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except as provided in Section 11.10; and 
 (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan

of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 (b) The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Section 12.02 and Section 10.02) or (ii) otherwise hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith
or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 (c) The Administrative 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, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or as to those conditions precedent expressly required to be to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection, or
priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries or any other obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any failure by any Loan Party or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of
its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements, or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein. 

Section 11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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. The Administrative 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, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder is filed with the Administrative Agent. 

  
 91 

 Section 11.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of
its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XI shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a bank as a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed)
and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 11.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on 

  
 92 

 
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. The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the
Loan Documents, or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Loan Parties or the Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with an credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of the Loan Parties (or
any of their Affiliates) which may come into possession of such Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative
Agent only, except that to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents
and the matters contemplated therein. 
 Section 11.08 No Other Duties, etc. The Joint Arrangers and the Co-Syndication Agents
shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than, with respect to any Co-Syndication Agent or Joint Arranger that is also a Lender, its duties, responsibilities and liabilities in its
capacity as a Lender hereunder. 
 Section 11.09 Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender
hereby authorizes, and each other Person accepting the benefit of the Liens created by the Security Instruments shall be deemed to have authorized, the Administrative Agent to release (a) any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) any Mortgaged Property that does not constitute Material Real Property if any Building (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in
the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) is situated on such Mortgaged Property and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines that the costs, financial and otherwise, of obtaining or maintaining a Lien or complying with all
Governmental Requirements with respect to such Lien outweigh the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby. Each Lender hereby authorizes, and each other Person accepting the benefit of the Liens created by the Security
Instruments shall be deemed to have authorized, the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower (or file, if appropriate), at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements,
assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.11 or is otherwise
authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. To the extent any Property is sold, assigned, conveyed or otherwise transferred as expressly permitted by Section 9.11 to any Person other than a Loan Party, such Collateral shall be sold,
assigned, conveyed or otherwise transferred free and clear of all Liens created by the Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.10 Action by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no 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

  
 93 

 
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written
instructions from the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and
(b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed
by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action
which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agent shall
have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof. 
 Section 11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the 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 Indebtedness that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under
Section 12.03) 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. 
 Furthermore, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Section 12.03. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the 

  
 94 

 
Administrative 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 Indebtedness or the
rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

Section 11.12 Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor
Agreement and to amend such agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02. Each Lender (by receiving the benefits thereunder and of the Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Instruments) agrees that the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall be binding on such Lender and its successors and assigns, as if it was a party thereto.

 Section 12.02
Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising,
and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure
by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement
shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other
Secured Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the
definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the  

  
 97 

 
Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan (excluding mandatory prepayments) or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Secured Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date or Maturity Date of any Loan
without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) waive or amend Section 3.04(c), Section 6.01, Section 10.02(c) or Section 12.14 or change the definition of the terms “Domestic Subsidiary”,
“Foreign Subsidiary” or “Subsidiary”, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (vi) release any Guarantor (except as permitted pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or in
connection with a sale of such Guarantor permitted under Section 9.14) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (vii) change any of the
provisions of this Section 12.02(b), Section 10.02(c), or the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Required Class Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender other than any Defaulting
Lender, (viii) change the application of prepayments under Section 3.04(b)(iv), without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders (it being understood that the Required Class Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any
prepayment so long as the application of any such prepayment that is still required to be made is not changed) or (ix) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the availability and conditions to funding under
Section 2.06 with respect to Incremental Loans and the rate of interest applicable thereto) which directly affects Lenders under one or more Class and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Class, in each case, without the
written consent of the Required Class Lenders under such applicable Class (and in the case of multiple Classes which are affected, such Required Class Lenders shall consent together as one Class); provided, however, that the waivers described in
this clause (ix) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than (x) the Required Class Lenders under such applicable Class and (y) in the case of any waiver that otherwise would be subject to clauses (i)
through (viii) above, each Lender adversely affected thereby under the applicable Class or Classes; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent or any other Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such other Agent, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any supplement to
Schedule 7.14 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the
Lenders, (y) the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party) and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of the Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or
defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by Lenders constituting the Required Lenders within 5 Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers written
notice thereof to the Lenders, and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party) may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or enter into any

  
 98 

 
agreement or instrument to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Mortgaged Property or Property to become Mortgaged Property to
secure the Secured Obligations for the benefit of the Lenders or as required by any Governmental Requirement to give effect to, protect or otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under the Loan Documents without the consent of any
Lender. 
 Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and
its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and other outside consultants for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto)

out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.03(a) or elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents, neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be obligated to pay or reimburse any Person for any costs, expenses, fees, taxes or other charges of any nature whatsoever that are incurred or payable by any Person in connection with any assignment referred to
in Section 12.04(b), any participation referred to in Section 12.04(d) or any pledge or security interest referred to in Section 12.04(f). 

(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT (AND ANY SUB-AGENT THEREOF), THE JOINT ARRANGERS AND EACH
LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNITEE OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY ARISING OUT OF, IN
CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (i) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE PARTIES TO ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR 

  
 99 

 
THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, (ii) THE FAILURE OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING
THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENT, (iii) ANY INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR SET FORTH IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR

 100 

 
CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES (x) ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE, (y) RESULT FROM A CLAIM BROUGHT BY THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE FOR BREACH IN BAD FAITH OF SUCH INDEMNITEE’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IF THE

sub-agent), such Joint Arranger or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on the ratio of the
outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans under this Agreement) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Joint Arranger in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except (A) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.04(b), (B) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.04(d), or (C) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any
party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent
provided in Section 12.04(d)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignments shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
 (B)
in any case not described in Section 12.04(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable 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 the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all
or a portion of its rights on a non- pro rata basis. 

  
 102 

 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the
extent required by Section 12.04(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or
(3) the assignment is made in connection with the primary syndication of the Initial Term Loan and during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending 60 days after the Closing Date to any Person approved by the Borrower on or prior to
the Closing Date; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice
thereof;  
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
for assignments to any Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund; 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption.
The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v)
No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower, any Sponsor, or any of the Borrower’s or any Sponsor’s respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 

(vii) No Assignments to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(c), 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 Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 12.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(d). 

  
 103 

 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 amount (and
stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b) and any written
consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of
this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(c). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I
to the Borrower and each Lender. 
 (d) Participations. 

(i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. 
 (ii) 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, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the
provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though
it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-

  
 104 

 
fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (e)
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to
the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.03(f) as though it were a
Lender 
 (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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and
Section 12.04(e) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Restrictions if Registration Required. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower
and the Guarantors to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state. 

Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or
warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the 

  
 105 

 
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Section 5.01,
Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of
the Loans or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 (b) To the extent that any
payments on the Secured Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any
bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Secured Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’
Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action
as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. 
 Section 12.06
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 
 (a) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 

(b) Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 
 (c) Effectiveness. Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (d) 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. 

  
 106 

 Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its 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 (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Hedging Agreements, and in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, 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 the Borrower or such Subsidiary 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 its Affiliates under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each
Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH THEREIN, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW PERMITS ANY LENDER TO CONTRACT FOR, CHARGE, RECEIVE, RESERVE OR TAKE INTEREST AT THE RATE ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE SUCH LENDER IS LOCATED. 

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH THEREIN, SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN

Agreement.

 Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
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 (including accountants and legal counsel) and other 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 to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or any suit, 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 12.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any Hedging Agreement relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 12.11,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or a Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.11 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. 

Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury
laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the Transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose
laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for the Secured Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender
under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loans shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid
shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower);
and (b) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess 

  
 109 

 
interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums
paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any
Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to
such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period
shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of
interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to a Lender, such Lender
elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

Section 12.13 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE
OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE
TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.” 

  
 110 

 Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Secured Hedging Agreements; Bank Products. The
benefit of the Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Secured Obligations shall also extend to and be available to the Secured Hedging Counterparties with respect to any Secured Hedging
Agreement (including any Secured Hedging Agreement in existence prior to the date hereof, but excluding any additional transactions or confirmations entered into (a) after such Secured Hedging Counterparty ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender or (b) after assignment by a Secured Hedging Counterparty to another Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) and Bank Products Providers with respect to any obligations in respect of Bank Products. No Lender or any
Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting or consent rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedging Agreements or in respect of Bank Products. 

Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make
Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies
or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries. 

Section 12.16 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the 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 “USA Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 

Section 12.17 NON-RECOURSE TO THE GENERAL PARTNER. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS DO NOT AND WILL NOT IN ANY WAY
CONSTITUTE A DIRECT OR INDIRECT GUARANTY BY THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IS HELD BY ANY AUTHORITY TO CONSTITUTE A
DIRECT OR INDIRECT GUARANTY BY THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT SUCH PROVISION CONSTITUTES A DIRECT OR INDIRECT GUARANTY BY THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY. NEITHER THIS AGREEMENT NOR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO CREATE ANY LIABILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREUNDER OR HEREUNDER.
NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL HAVE ANY RECOURSE AGAINST THE GENERAL PARTNER (INCLUDING ANY RECOURSE FOR ANY DEFICIENCY REMAINING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AFTER THE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY THE
BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY AND THE DISPOSITION OF THE GP COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER); PROVIDED, THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL 

  
 111 

 
THIS SECTION 12.17 RELIEVE THE GENERAL PARTNER FROM ANY LIABILITY IT MAY HAVE AS A RESULT OF ITS FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR THAT OF ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, IN
CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CERTIFICATES OR DOCUMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH BY THE GENERAL PARTNER ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE BORROWER’S GENERAL PARTNER.

 Section 12.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby
(including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary,
advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Joint Arranger or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by
the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters; (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Joint Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Joint Arrangers
and the Lenders, on the other hand; (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate; and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and
accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Joint Arrangers and the Lenders each is and has been acting

 SECTION 5. Eligibility. 

Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive or purchase an Award under the Plan. 

SECTION 6. Awards.

become non-forfeitable or forfeited, the purchase price, if any, to be paid for the subject Units and such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as the Committee may establish with respect to
such Awards. 
 (ii) Removal of Restrictions on Restricted Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practicable following
the lapse of all forfeiture restrictions with respect to each Unit Award, the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Management Holdings Unit certificate (or book-entry account, as applicable) so that the
Participant then holds an unrestricted Management Holdings Unit (and any corresponding restrictions shall be removed from the corresponding GP Unit held by Management Holdings), provided that an unrestricted Unit may remain subject to such terms and
conditions as may be set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, including, without limitation, repurchase, transfer or other restrictions or limitations. 

(b) Other Unit-Based Awards. Other Unit-Based Awards may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Consultants and/or Directors as
the Committee, in its discretion, may select. An Other Unit-Based Award shall be an award denominated or payable in, valued in or 

  
 -6- 

 
otherwise based on or related to GP Units and/or Management Holdings Units or other securities of Southcross GP or Management Holdings, in whole or in part. The Committee shall determine the
terms and conditions of any Other Unit-Based Award. Upon or following the vesting or lapse of forfeiture or other restrictions, an Other Unit-Based Award may be paid in cash, GP Units and/or Management Holdings Units (including Unit Awards that may
be subject to such forfeiture or other terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee), or any combination thereof, as provided in the Award Agreement. 

(c) General. 

(i) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of an Award Agreement, upon termination of a
Participant’s Service for any reason during an applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding awards held by such Participant (and Awards corresponding thereto), to the extent then subject to forfeiture, shall be automatically forfeited. The
Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to any such Award. 
 (ii) Awards
May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other
plan of the Company or any Affiliate, provided however that each Downstairs Award shall be granted in tandem with a corresponding Upstairs Award covering an equivalent number of Units and each Upstairs Award shall be granted in tandem with a
corresponding Downstairs Award covering an equivalent number of Units. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or
at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 
 (iii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. Except as
may be permitted by the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. 

(iv) Unit Certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or
regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Units issued in connection with any Award and instead such Units shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or equity plan
administrator). All certificates for Units or other securities of the Company delivered under the Plan and all Units issued pursuant to book entry procedures pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and/or other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal
or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates or book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

  
 -7- 

 (v) Consideration for Grants. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (vi) Delivery of
Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, subject to compliance with Section 409A, the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Units in connection with any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined that the issuance of such securities is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations
of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange on which the securities are listed or traded, and the securities are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from
registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems
advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of Units in connection with an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith
determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain or deliver Units pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities
exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement is received by the Company. 

SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination; Certain Transactions. 

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 

(a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the
Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award,
or any other Person, except if such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination would be materially prejudicial to any Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award. 

(b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a) above, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms
of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 4(b) above or 7(c) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with respect to an Award without the
consent of such Participant. 

  
 -8- 

 (c) Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control, any transaction or event described in Section 4(b) above, any change in applicable laws or regulations affecting the Plan or Awards hereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial statements of the Company or
the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of an Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may take any one or more of the following actions: 

(i) provide for either (A) the termination or cancellation of any Award in exchange for a payment in an amount, if any, equal to the
amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under such Award (which, with respect to a Unit Award shall be the Fair Market Value of the applicable Unit), and, for the avoidance
of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or event, the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been payable upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such
Award may be terminated by the Company without payment or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been
attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 

(ii) provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for similar
rights or awards covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of equity interests and prices; 

(iii) make adjustments in the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, the number and kind of
outstanding Awards, the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and/or the vesting and performance criteria included in, outstanding Awards; or 

(iv) provide that such Award shall vest or become exercisable or payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the
applicable Award Agreement. 
 SECTION 8. General Provisions. 

(a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of Participants, including the treatment upon termination of Service. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 

(b) Tax Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to Southcross GP, Southcross GP or any Affiliate
thereof is authorized to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award, or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash or Units,
including Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant 

  
 -9- 

 
to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of an Award, including its grant, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer
thereunder or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. In the event that Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to an
Award are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Units which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of
such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 

(c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in
the employ of Southcross GP or any of its Affiliates, continue consulting services or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Furthermore, Southcross GP or one of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or consulting free
from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other written agreement between any such entity and the Participant. 

(d) Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to
Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall include the terms and conditions required by Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date (as defined in Section 9 below), the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such
amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), and/or take any other actions that the Committee determines are necessary or
appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Award, including without limitation, actions intended to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of the Committee or the Company or any of its Affiliates to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Committee or the Company
or any of its Affiliates have any liability for failing to do so. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the time of payment with respect to any Award that is subject to Section 409A shall not be accelerated, except as
permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) or other applicable regulatory guidance. 
 (e) Compliance with Laws.
The Plan, the granting of and lapse of forfeiture restrictions with respect to Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Units and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to
compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), the rules of any securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan

  
 -10- 

 
shall be subject to such restrictions, and the Person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may
deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
laws, rules and regulations. In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award
as they pertain to such Participant to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, lapse of forfeiture restrictions,
settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country. 

(f) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 
 (g)
Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes, or is deemed to be, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the
Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 

(h) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole
discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the
Company or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded
to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (i) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be
construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Participant or any other Person, on the other hand. To the extent that any Person acquires a
right to receive payments pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or any participating Affiliate of the Company. 

(j) No Fractional Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the
Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated,
or otherwise eliminated. 

  
 -11- 

 (k) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision hereof. 

(l) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee or the Company or any Affiliate thereof (or any employee or
officer of the Company or any Affiliate) provides or has provided any tax advice to any Participant or any other Person or makes or has made any assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will (or will not)
apply or be available to any Participant or other Person. 
 (m) Clawback; Misconduct. To the extent required by applicable law or any
applicable securities exchange listing standards, Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to clawback as determined by the Committee, which clawback may include forfeiture, repurchase and/or
recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, if at any time (including after an award has vested) the
Committee or any person designated by the Committee (each such person, an “Authorized Officer”) reasonably believes that a Participant may have committed an Act of Misconduct as described in this Section 8(m), the Authorized Officer,
the Committee or the Board may suspend the Participant’s rights to exercise or to vest in an Award, and/or to receive payment for or receive Units in settlement of an Award pending a determination of whether an Act of Misconduct has been
committed. 
 If the Committee or an Authorized Officer determines that a Participant has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud,
dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of ethics policy or code of conduct, or deliberate disregard of the Company’s or Affiliate of the Company’s
rules resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or if a Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information, solicits any Employee or other service provider to leave
the employ or cease providing services to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, breaches any intellectual property or assignment of inventions covenant, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, breaches any non-competition
agreement, induces any customer to breach a contract with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or to cease doing business with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or induces any principal for whom the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship (any of the foregoing acts, an “Act of Misconduct”), then except as otherwise provided by the Committee, (i) neither the Participant nor his or her estate nor transferee
shall be entitled to vest in or have the restrictions on an Award lapse, or otherwise receive any payment in respect of an Award, (ii) the Participant will forfeit all outstanding Awards and (iii) the Participant may be required, at the
Committee’s sole discretion, to return and/or repay to the Company any then vested Units previously granted under the Plan. In making such determination, the Committee or an Authorized Officer may, in its discretion, give the Participant an
opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing before the Committee or its designee or an opportunity to submit written comments, documents, information and arguments to be considered by the Committee. 

  
 -12- 

 (n) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability
or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to manage properly his or her financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be applied for the benefit of such Person in any manner that the Committee may
select, and the Company its Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 SECTION 9. Term of the
Plan. 
 The Plan shall be effective on the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”) and
shall continue indefinitely until terminated by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive
any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.

unenforceable against the Company and any of their Affiliates. 
 5. Repurchase. 

(a) Company Repurchase Right. 

(i) During the period beginning on the date of a Participant’s termination of Service and ending on the first anniversary
of such date (the “Repurchase Period”), the Company shall have the option (the “Call Right”) to repurchase the Participant’s vested Units. The Call Right may be exercised more than once and for
some or all of the Units held by the Participant. The Company may assign the Call Right to any Person determined in the discretion of the Committee. 

(ii) The Company (or its assignee) shall exercise the Call Right (if so elected) by written notice to Participant (and/or, if
applicable, any permitted transferees) within the Repurchase Period, specifying a date within such period on which the Call Right shall be exercised and the number of Units as to which the Call Right is being exercised. Upon such notification, the
Participant and any permitted transferees shall promptly surrender to the Company (or its assignee) any certificates or other documents representing the Units being purchased, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances. Except as provided below,
upon the Company’s (or its assignee’s) receipt of any such certificates or documents from the Participant or any permitted transferees, the Company (or its assignee) shall deliver to him, her or them payment of the Repurchase Price (as
defined below) for the Units being purchased. 

 (iii) The purchase price payable by the Company (or its assignee) upon exercise
of the Call Right (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be the Fair Market Value, as of the date the Call Right is being exercised, of the Units with respect to which the Call Right [or Put Right (as defined below)] is being
exercised. 
 (b) [Company Repurchase Obligation. 

(i) In the event the Participant’s Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason
(as defined below) and the Units are not listed on a national securities exchange or a national inter-dealer quotation system (or are not otherwise publicly tradable), then during the Repurchase Period, the Participant shall have the option (the
“Put Right”) to cause the Company or one of its Affiliates to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Participant’s vested Units, provided, however, that the Put Right shall be subject to the Committee’s good
faith determination that the Company and its Affiliates possess sufficient liquidity at the applicable time such that the Put Right will not have a material negative impact on the operations or financial position of the Company and its Affiliates.

 (ii) The Participant shall exercise the Put Right (if so elected) by written notice to the Company within the Repurchase
Period (and before the 30th day prior to the expiration of the Repurchase Period), specifying a date more than 30 days after the date of such written notice and within the Repurchase Period on
which the Put Right shall be exercised. Upon the time of such repurchase, the Participant and any permitted transferees shall promptly surrender to the Company any certificates or other documents representing the Units being purchased, free and
clear of any liens or encumbrances. Except as provided below, upon the Company’s receipt of any such certificates or documents from the Participant or any permitted transferees, the Company shall deliver to him, her or them payment of the
Repurchase Price for the Units. 
 (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence
of one or more of the following actions by Southcross GP or its Affiliates without the Participant’s consent: (1) a material reduction in the duties and responsibilities held by the Participant, except in connection with a termination of
the Participant’s Service for Cause; (2) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary or guideline (target) bonus; or (3) a material change in the geographic location at which the Participant must perform services for
Southcross GP or its Affiliates; provided, however, that no termination of Service by the Participant shall constitute a termination for Good Reason unless (a) the Participant has first provided Southcross GP with written notice
specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within thirty (30) days after the Participant has or should reasonably be expected to have had knowledge of the occurrence thereof, (b) Southcross GP
has not cured such acts or omissions within thirty (30) days of its actual receipt of such notice, and (c) the effective date of the Participant’s termination for Good Reason occurs no later than ninety (90) days after the
initial existence of the facts or circumstances constituting Good Reason.]1 
  

 

	1 	Note: Put right TBD. 

 (c) Repurchase Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payment
shall be made under this Section that would cause the Company, Southcross GP or any if their Affiliates to violate any applicable law, or any rights or preference of other unitholders, any banking agreement or loan or other financial covenant or
cause default of any indebtedness, regardless of when such agreement, covenant or indebtedness was created, incurred or assumed. Any payment under this Section 5 that would cause such violation or default shall result in an extension of the
Repurchase Period, in the sole discretion of the Committee, until thirty days after the date such payment shall no longer cause any such violation or default and at which time the Call Right or Put Right, as applicable, may be exercised with the
Repurchase Price calculated as of the date the Call Right or Put Right is actually exercised. 
 6. Downstairs Award. A Downstairs
Unit Award covering that number of GP Units equal to the number of Units subject to the Award granted pursuant to this Agreement (as set forth in the Participant Grant Notice) is hereby granted by Southcross GP to the Company on the Grant Date (the
“Downstairs Award”). Each time a portion of the Upstairs Award is vested, forfeited, adjusted or repurchased pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan, a corresponding portion of the Downstairs Award shall be vested, forfeited,
adjusted or repurchased, as applicable, provided that Southcross GP shall have the right to assign its right [or obligation] to repurchase any GP Units to any Person as determined in the discretion of the Committee of Southcross GP. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the Company and Southcross GP may, in their discretion, effect any repurchase contemplated by this agreement in such manner whereby (i) the Company redeems all or a portion of the Participant’s Upstairs Units in exchange
for the corresponding Downstairs Units, and (ii) Southcross GP (or its assignee) subsequently repurchases the Downstairs Units from the Participant. 

7. No Effect on Service. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained
in the employ or service of Southcross GP or any Affiliate thereof. Furthermore, Southcross GP and its Affiliates may at any time dismiss the Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or this
Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Participant and Southcross GP or an Affiliate thereof. 

8. Severablility. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Agreement, such
provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 9. Tax
Consultation. None of the Board, the Committee, nor the Company or Southcross GP has made any warranty or representation to Participant with respect to the income tax consequences of the issuance of the Units or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and the Participant represents that he or she is in no manner relying on such entities or their representatives for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences. The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer
adverse tax consequences in connection with the Units granted pursuant to this Agreement. The 

 
Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants that the Participant deems advisable in connection with the Units. Without limiting the foregoing and
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the Contrary (including the statements set forth in the Participant Grant Notice), neither the Company nor Southcross GP make any representations to any Person with respect to the Fair Market Value
of the Units as of the Grant Date. 
 10. Amendments, Suspension and Termination. Subject to Section 7(a) of the Plan, the
Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter this Agreement at any time, provided that no such change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Plan, shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of the
Participant without the Participant’s consent. 
 11. Lock-Up Agreement. The Participant shall agree, if so requested by the
Company or Southcross GP and any underwriter in connection with any public offering of securities of the Company, Southcross GP or any Affiliate thereof, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any securities held by him or her for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following
the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with such public offering, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company or Southcross GP may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180-day period. 
 12. Conformity to
Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and all applicable state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Units are granted, only in such a manner as to conform
to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. 

13. Successors and Assigns. The Company and Southcross GP may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple
assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and Southcross GP. Subject to the restrictions on transfer contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 
 14. Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of this
Agreement and any rules and regulations relating to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.
