THE FRESH MARKET, INC. 

SUPPLY AND SERVICE AGREEMENT 

This Supply and Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 26th day of
January, 2007 by and between The Fresh Market, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, with its corporate office located at 628 Green Valley Road, Suite 500, Greensboro, North Carolina (referred to herein along with its successors and assigns as
“TFM”), and Burns Logistics, a Delaware corporation, with its corporate office located at 501 S.E.
5th Street, Milford, Delaware (referred to herein along
with its authorized assigns as “Burris”). 
 In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for five (5) years commencing as of the date of the first delivery. Thereafter, this
Agreement shall automatically renew for one hundred eighty (180) day periods, unless either party provides written notice to the other of non-renewal at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the last day of the then current term.

  

	2.	Product Supply, Facilities and Distribution Services. 

  

	 	a.	Burris shall supply Products listed in Exhibit A to all TFM Stores as required by TFM (which current TFM Stores are listed in Exhibit D), and Burris shall meet all
Specifications set forth in Exhibit A with respect to such Products. Without limiting Burris’ other obligations under this Agreement, all Products provided by Burris shall also comply with Section 9 of this Agreement.

  

	 	b.	At its sole cost and expense, Burris shall maintain, operate, and provide in accordance with all local, county, state, and federal laws the Facility.

  

	 	c.	Burris shall deliver all Products pursuant to an Order and Delivery Schedule developed by Burris, which schedule shall be subject to TFM’s written approval. Burris
shall provide adequate trucks and refrigerated/frozen trailers to deliver Products to TFM Stores three (3) times per week (and more often if requested by TFM from time to time during Holiday Periods and/or for TFM Stores accepting two thousand
(2,000) or more cases per week). Timing is of the essence with respect to the number of deliveries made per week; provided, however, TFM’s right to terminate this Agreement for a violation of this Section 2(c) shall be
governed by Section 14(a)(i). In addition to TFM’s other available rights and remedies, if a Missed Delivery occurs more than [***] times in any consecutive [***] month period, Burris shall pay to TFM on demand [***] as liquidated damages
for each Missed Delivery that occurs thereafter during such [***] month period. Burris’ first delivery of Products to TFM shall be no later than February 7, 2007. 

 

	 	d.	Exhibit A shall be deemed modified, from time to time, to include new Product lines and accompanying Specifications as directed by TFM in writing and/or to discontinue
Product lines and accompanying Specifications as directed by TFM in writing. 

  

	 	e.	Exhibit D shall be deemed modified, from time to time, to include future TFM Stores and/or to delete TFM Stores. 

 

	3.	Price/Promotion. This Section 3 addresses Case Upcharge (Section 3(a)), Inbound Product Case Cost (Section 3(b)), profit sharing and
supplementation (Section 3(c)), and reconciliation (Section 3(d)): 

  

 
 Portions marked [***] have been omitted

 1 

	 	a.	Case Upcharge. Subject to reconciliation as set forth below, TFM shall pay Burris a Case Upcharge to be determined using the Estimated Case Volume for Product delivered
to and accepted by TFM in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	Inbound Product Case Cost. Subject to reconciliation as set forth below, TFM shall reimburse Burris the Inbound Product Case Cost for Product delivered to and accepted
by TFM in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	 	c.	Profit Sharing and Supplementation. 

  

	 	(i)	Burris shall pay TFM any Adjustment Amount at the end of each Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year). TFM, at its option, shall either be credited with the Adjustment
Amount (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of final determination of the Adjustment Amount. 

 

	 	(ii)	TFM shall pay to Burris any Below Threshold Fee at the end of each Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years). 

 

	 	d.	Reconciliation. 

  

	 	(i)	Case Upcharge. Case Upcharge shall be reconciled semi-annually. In the event the semi-annual reconciliation, including the Fuel Cost Adjustment, shows that the Actual
Case Volume during such Semi-Annual Period (or Partial Semi-Annual Period) was more than the Estimated Case Volume for such period (and that the Case Upcharge charged during such period should have been less than actually charged), TFM shall either
be credited with the amount of its total Case Upcharge overpayment (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of TFM’s receipt of the Reconciliation Statement. In the
event the semi-annual reconciliation shows that the Actual Case Volume during such Semi-Annual Period was less than the Estimated Case Volume for such period (and that the Case Upcharge charged during such period should have been more than actually
charged), TFM shall pay to Burris the total Case Upcharge underpayment for such semi-annual period (less amounts disputed in good faith by TFM) within five (5) business days of TFM’s receipt of the Reconciliation Statement.

  

	 	(ii)	Inbound Product Case Cost. Inbound Product Case Cost shall be reconciled semi-annually. In the event the semi-annual reconciliation shows a difference in the Inbound
Product Case Cost and amounts paid by TFM towards Inbound Product Case Cost during such period due to timing of Product cost changes (also known to Burris as a marketing adjustment), reimbursements shall be made as follows: (a) when the
marketing adjustment is positive (i.e., when amounts paid by TFM exceed the reconciled Inbound Product Case Cost), TFM shall either be credited with the amount of its Inbound Product Case Cost overpayment (which amount TFM may offset against any
other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of TFM’s receipt of the Reconciliation Statement, and (b) when the marketing adjustment is negative (i.e., when amounts paid by TFM are less than the reconciled
Inbound Product Case cost), TFM shall reimburse Burris the difference within five (5) business days after receipt of the Reconciliation Statement. 

 

 2 

	 	(iii)	Profit Sharing and Supplementation. The following shall be reconciled at the end of each Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year): 

 

	 	(a)	Profit Sharing. Burris shall pay to TFM the Adjustment Amount at the end of each Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year). TFM, at its option, shall either be credited
with the Adjustment Amount (which amount TFM may offset against any other sums owed) or reimbursed the same within five (5) business days of final determination of the Adjustment Amount. 

 

	 	(b)	Supplementation. Although this is not a requirements contract, TFM currently anticipates that it will order a minimum of [***]. Upon receipt of the final Reconciliation
Statement for each Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years), the parties will determine TFM’s Actual Case Volume for that Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years). If TFM does not achieve the Threshold Volume for that
Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years), TFM shall pay to Burris the Below Threshold Fee. If TFM does achieve the Threshold Volume for that Contract Year (prorated for Partial Contract Years), TFM shall have no further financial
obligation to Burris for that Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year). 

  

	 	(iv)	Burris shall provide to TFM Reconciliation Statements within thirty (30) days after the end of each Semi-Annual Period. In the event Burris fails to provide TFM
Reconciliation Statements or reimbursements accurately and on a timely basis as provided above, in addition to TFM’s other available rights and remedies, TFM may offset and/or deduct, by TFM’s estimate, any reimbursements due to TFM from
subsequent payments to Burris. 

  

	 	e.	Other Price Matters. 

  

	 	(i)	[***]. 

  

	 	(ii)	Product prices shall be set monthly in accordance with TFM’s fiscal calendar. Any supplier’s or vendor’s Product price changes shall be communicated to
TFM in writing or electronically (by electronic price file) at least fourteen (14) days prior to the effective start date of TFM’s monthly order guides of Burris Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, meat and seafood prices
shall be set weekly to incorporate changes in commodity prices. All price changes shall take effect Sundays at 12:01 AM. 

  

	 	(iii)	[***]. Burris shall not be required to seek or accept Cross Dock pallets or cases if such services would unreasonably Impede the performance of its services hereunder.

	4.	Acceptance/Rejection. All deliveries of Products by Burris are subject to TFM’s acceptance of such Products. TFM may reject Products if TFM
did not order the Products delivered or if the Products delivered are not in compliance with this Agreement. TFM shall report any product overs, shorts and visible external damage to Burris at the time of delivery while Burris’ delivery driver
is at the TFM Store. TFM shall report rejections due to mispicks, internal damage, and the delivery of Products which do not otherwise meet TFM specifications on or before 5:00 P.M. on the first business day following the delivery of such Products.
TFM shall report rejections, shortages, and any other Product complaints by contacting Burris Customer Service at 888-287-7473 ((888) Burris3) (or by such other commercially reasonable means as may be available if TFM cannot reach Burris Customer
Service within the time period specified). If TFM rejects such Products (in whole or in part), Burris shall (i) retrieve the rejected Products within two (2) days of TFM’s rejection of such Products and (ii) at TFM’s option,
either (a) replace such rejected Products at the time of Burris’ next delivery to the TFM Store to which such rejected Products were delivered, or (b) provide a credit to such TFM Store for the rejected Products within two
(2) days from the date TFM’s rejection was communicated to Burris. 

  

	5.	Quality Control. All Products shall be handled in accordance with the Specifications while such Products are in the possession of Burris. Upon
receipt by Burris and while in the possession of Burris, Burris shall regularly inspect Product dates and the quality and integrity of such Products for conformance to TFM’s Specifications. Burris, at its sole cost and expense, shall designate
a quality assurance representative at the Facility to (i) ensure adherence to all such Specifications and quality requirements and (ii) provide any reports or documents reasonably necessary to detail the same. If any inspection or test
performed hereunder indicates a failure to conform to the Specifications or any other quality requirements, Burris shall promptly advise TFM, and Burris shall not deliver Products from such shipments without the express written consent of TFM, which
consent may be granted or withheld in TFM’s sole discretion. 

  

	6.	 Payment Terms. Burris shall deliver to TFM on or before 10:00 A.M. on the first
(1st) business day of each week a statement detailing
charges for Products delivered during the immediately preceding week (“Weekly Invoice”), time being of the essence. TFM shall pay by wire transfer to Burris [***] of the invoiced amount due (less amounts disputed in good faith by TFM) on
or before [***] following TFM’s receipt of the Weekly Invoice (“First Payment”). TFM shall pay by wire transfer to Burris the remaining invoiced amount due (less amounts disputed in good faith by TFM) on or before [***] after the date
of the First Payment. Any disputes as to invoiced amounts due shall be promptly discussed by applicable representatives of the parties and, if not promptly resolved, shall be subject to Section 15 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TFM shall
not be required to pay any statements delivered more than sixty (60) days after the due date for delivery of the statement. 

  

	7.	Service and Support.  

  

	 	a.	Burris shall provide the quality of Products specified by TFM in volumes requested by TFM, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

  

	 	b.	Burris shall provide all necessary personnel to fulfill its Obligations under this Agreement. Such personnel shall include, but not be limited to:

  

	 	i.	account manager; 

  

	 	ii.	dedicated buying staff; 

  

	 	iii.	administrative support; 

  

	 	iv.	customer support representative(s); and 

  

	 	v.	quality assurance representative.

 4 

	 	c.	Upon TFM’s request, Burris shall provide business reports, in form reasonably acceptable to TFM, that measure Burris’ satisfaction of its Obligations and any
other information that may be useful to measure Burris’ distribution performance related to TFM. 

  

	 	d.	Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Burris shall bear the risk of reselling any Products stocked for distribution for TFM and TFM will work with Burris in
good faith to minimize losses from spoilage and excess inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TFM shall accept delivery of all Products complying with the terms of this Agreement if TFM requests in writing that Burris order a specific quantity of
a Product which is more than that which Burris should reasonably carry in inventory for distribution to TFM (“Additional Products”), and Burris shall order the Additional Products in the quantity requested by TFM. If such Additional
Product is ordered for the sole benefit of TFM (and not as part of a mutually beneficial transaction), [***]. TFM shall not bear the risk of resale of such Additional Product if Burris fails to make delivery of such Additional Product or otherwise
fails to make such Additional Product available for delivery. TFM shall notify Burris upon discontinuance of a Product and TFM shall accept delivery of all discontinued Products held by Burris in inventory for TFM that comply with the terms of this
Agreement, provided that such Products are made available for delivery within a commercially reasonable time after notice of such discontinuance. 

  

	 	e.	Burris shall assist TFM with the administrative process of Product billback for future TFM store openings and help collect funds from such billbacks (“Billback
Amount”) from invoice deductions upon TFM’s request. TFM shall provide a list of all vendors and suppliers who participate in this billback program and the Product level support associated with each vendor and supplier. Burris shall pay
TFM all Billback Amounts upon Burris’ receipt of the same from participating vendors and suppliers (and all such Billback Amounts shall accrue solely to the benefit of TFM). [***]. 

 

	8.	Trademarks and Exclusivity. Burris shall not use, authorize, or permit the use of any TFM Marks as part of its firm, corporate, or business name or
otherwise. Burris shall not contest the right of TFM’s exclusive use of any TFM Marks. Any Product carrying TFM Marks shall not be sold to any other party without the express written consent of TFM, which consent may be granted, withdrawn or
withheld in TFM’s sole discretion. Additionally, except for Specialty Food Products Burris distributes to other retailers as of the date of this Agreement, Burris shall not sell to any other retailer any Specialty Food Product sourced
exclusively for TFM (which does not contain TFM Marks) unless Burris receives the express prior written consent of TFM, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. 

 

	9.	Product Warranties and Representations. 

  

	 	a.	Burris hereby warrants and represents the following: 

  

 
 Portions marked [***] have been omitted
pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request by The Fresh Market, Inc., this information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 5 

	 	i.	As of the date of delivery, Burris shall have all right, title, and interest in and to the Products and all rights necessary to transfer such rights and title to TFM
free of any lien, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance; and 

  

	 	ii.	All Products delivered hereunder shall comply with all requirements of this Agreement. 

 

	 	b.	Except for the covenants, warranties and representations of Burris expressly set forth in this Agreement, Burris makes no warranties or representations as to the
Products including their merchantability or fitness for a particular use. 

  

	10.	Indemnification. 

  

	 	a.	Burris shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless TFM, its shareholders, parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies as well as TFM’s and TFM’s
parents’, subsidiaries’, and affiliated companies’ shareholders, officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, demands, actions, proceedings, lawsuits, fees, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by any such Indemnified Parties as a result of Burris’ breach of its covenants and/or
warranties and representations under this Agreement. In the event that Burris or its agents, employees or subcontractors enter premises occupied or under the control of TFM or any other Indemnified Parties in the performance of Burris’
obligations under this Agreement, Burris will defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, demands, actions, proceedings, lawsuits, fees,
costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by any such Indemnified Parties on account of loss, cost or damage to property or injury to person (including death) arising out of, as a result of, or in connection with
such entry or performance by Burris, its employees, agents or subcontractors unless such loss, cost or damage to property or injury to person (including death) is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Burris’
compliance with Section 11 of this Agreement does not relieve it from liability under this Section 10. 

  

	 	b.	Without limiting the parties’ other rights and remedies, in the event purchasers of Products from TFM claim such Products are defective and it is determined by a
final, non-appealable judicial order (i) that such Products are indeed defective and (ii) that such defects arose solely through the negligent acts or omissions of either party hereto, such negligent party shall indemnify and hold the
other party harmless from any reasonable attorneys’ fees such other party incurred in defending such action. 

  

	11.	Insurance. Burris shall carry, at Burris’ sole cost and expense, the following types of insurance with an insurance company or companies
qualified to transact business in the states in which services and the Products are provided to TFM: 

  

	 	a.	Commercial general liability insurance with “Occurrence Form” products coverage on all services, equipment or Products provided to TFM, stipulating limits of
liability of not less than [***] for each occurrence with a general aggregate of not less than [***], and naming TFM as an additional insured under said policy with the limits and coverages specified; 

 

	 	b.	 Worker’s compensation insurance for statutory limits as required by applicable law (including Employer’s Liability Insurance in an amount of
not less than [***] per accident for bodily injury and [***]

per employee/aggregate for disease) covering all persons employed by Burris in connection with the performance of the delivery of the Products and/or any other services provided herein by such
persons to TFM on property under the control of TFM; 

  

	 	c.	Business auto liability insurance (including owned, leased, and non-owned vehicles) for all vehicles of Burris, or vehicles used by Burris in connection with the
performance of the delivery of the Products and/or any other services provided herein, that enter upon property under the control of TFM stipulating limits of liability of not less than [***] combined single limit for bodily injury, personal injury
(no fault-if required by law), and property damage; and 

  

	 	d.	Excess liability coverage applying on a “following form” basis in excess of the commercial general liability, employer’s liability, and business auto
liability policies referenced above, with limits of not less than [***] when combined with the underlying coverages, and naming TFM as an additional insured under said policy. This policy shall be endorsed to be primary and non-contributory, rather
than excess, with respect to its additional insured status. 

  

	    	Upon commencement of this Agreement, a certificate of each type of insurance coverage listed above providing at least thirty (30) days’ notice to TFM prior to
cancellation or termination shall be furnished to TFM. Such insurance must be issued by a company having a Best rating of at least A- by Best’s Insurance Reports or the then prevailing insurance rating bureau. Burris shall provide TFM with
copies of the certificates of such coverage upon renewal and upon request from time to time. 

  

	12.	Force Majeure. Each party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be tolled only for delays caused by fire, war, riots or civil commotion,
epidemics, authority of law, strikes (but only so long as such party is negotiating in good faith for a prompt resolution), lock-outs (but only so long as such party is negotiating in good faith for a prompt resolution), acts of God or other
non-monetary matters beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, without limitation, the failure of vendors to provide the Products properly ordered by Burris pursuant to TFM’s requests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the period of
tolling under this Section 12 shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the time of delay caused by the tolling event or (b) five (5) days. 

  

	13.	Confidentiality. Each party shall hold in strict confidence and not use or disclose the other party’s Confidential Information except upon the
prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be granted or withheld in the other party’s sole discretion. Upon termination of this Agreement, the parties shall either destroy or return all of the Confidential Information received
from the other party during the term of this Agreement. The parties’ obligations under this Section 13 shall survive for two (2) years from the date of any termination of this Agreement. 

 

	14.	Termination. 

  

	 	a.	Termination for Cause. 

  

	 	i.	 In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if, after the first
(1st) [***] of the commencement of this Agreement, a
Missed Delivery occurs (a) more than [***] times in one (1) month or (b) more than [***] times in six (6) consecutive months, TFM may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Burris. 

 

	 	ii.	 In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if Burris fails to fulfill section (i) of its Obligations (set forth in
Exhibit C) 

  

 
 Portions marked [***] have been omitted
pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request by The Fresh Market, Inc., this information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 7 

	 	
more than [***] times during any thirteen consecutive weeks, or section (ii) of its Obligations (set forth in Exhibit C) more than [***] times during any thirteen consecutive weeks, TFM may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Burris. 

  

	 	iii.	In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if Burris fails to fulfill section (viii) under “Obligations” in Exhibit C of
this Agreement, TFM may terminate this Agreement in the event Burris fails to cure such breach within seven (7) days after TFM provides Burris with written notice of such breach. 

 

	 	iv.	In addition to, and without limiting TFM’s other rights and remedies, if Burris fails to perform any of its other Obligations under this Agreement, TFM may
terminate this Agreement in the event Burris fails to cure such breach within twenty-one (21) days after TFM provides Burris with written notice of such breach. 

 

	 	v.	If TFM fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Burris may terminate this Agreement in the event TFM fails to cure such breach within twenty-one
(21) days after Burris provides TFM with written notice of such breach. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event TFM fails to make a payment as required under Section 6 of this Agreement and TFM fails to cure such failure within seven
(7) days after Burris provides TFM with written notice of such failure, Burris may suspend performance of its Obligations until receipt of the payment due. 

 

	 	b.	Termination Without Cause.  

  

	 	    	If TFM’s Actual Ordered Case Volume for any given Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year) is less than [***], Burris may propose an amendment to the terms of this
Agreement within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the final Reconciliation Statement for such Contract Year (or Partial Contract Year); provided, however, if the parties are unable to reasonably agree on such
proposed terms in writing within sixty (60) days after TFM’s receipt of the same from Burris (the “Burris Negotiation Period”), Burris may terminate this Agreement by written notice to TFM within seven (7) days after the end
of the Burris Negotiation Period, which termination shall be effective on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the date of such written notice. Burris’ failure to provide TFM with such termination notice as provided herein shall
result in a continuance of this Agreement without the proposed amended terms, time being of the essence. 

  

	 	c.	Payment And Removal After Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason: 

 

	 	i.	TFM shall be liable for and promptly pay all undisputed amounts then owing to Burris and shall take delivery of and promptly pay the Inbound Product Case Cost for all
TFM Products reasonably ordered and then held in inventory by Burris in accordance with this Agreement (including without limitation the Specifications set forth in Exhibit A); and 

 

	 	ii.	Burris shall immediately remove and discontinue use of the TFM Marks in any manner whatsoever and promptly pay all undisputed amounts then owing to TFM.

  

	15.	 Governing Law. The parties shall attempt in good faith to promptly and amicably resolve any disputes arising out of, or in any way
connected with, this Agreement. If such dispute cannot be resolved within a reasonable time through such good faith negotiations between executives of the

with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

 8 

	 	
parties (and if appropriate, with their respective counsel), then such dispute shall be settled under the rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator. Any award resulting
from arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may seek
equitable relief (without the benefit of arbitration) when immediate relief is required given the nature of the dispute. The laws of the State of North Carolina shall govern this Agreement and all disputes shall be adjudicated in North Carolina.

  

	16.	Independent Contractors. The parties acknowledge that Burris is an independent contractor, not an employee of TFM, and TFM
shall not be responsible for any salary, benefits, or other employee-related expenses including, without limitation, holidays, sick days, personal days, health insurance, worker’s compensation, etc. with regard to Burris’ employees.
Nothing contained herein or inferable herefrom shall be deemed or construed to create any partnership, joint venture, or other business entity between TFM and Burris. 

 

	17.	No Solicitation/No Hire. During the term of this Agreement, and for one (1) year thereafter, both parties agree not to knowingly solicit or to
offer employment to any employee of the other party without having obtained the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or preclude either party’s right to make generalized searches for
employees by use of advertisements in the media or by engaging search firms which are not targeted or focused on employees of the other party. This Section shall not be deemed to prohibit either party’s hiring of any employee of the other party
who initially contacts the hiring party without any action by the hiring party or anyone acting on the hiring party’s behalf. 

  

	18.	Assignment. The rights, privileges, and obligations under this Agreement are not assignable by Burris without TFM’s prior written consent,
which consent may be granted or withheld in TFM’s sole discretion. TFM may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Burris if (i) Burris sells substantially all of its assets; (ii) the persons or entities that, on the date of
this Agreement, own all of the voting capital stock of Burris cease to own more than fifty percent (50%) of such stock; (iii) Burris participates in a merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange or any other business transaction
in which, following the merger, less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of the surviving entity are owned by persons or entities who own a controlling interest in Burris as of the date of this Agreement; (iv) Burris commences the
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of its affairs; and/or (v) Burns discontinues its operations. As used herein, TFM may assign its rights, privileges, and obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of Burris, and such
rights, privileges, and obligations shall extend to, bind, and inure to the benefit of TFM’s successors and assigns. 

  

	19.	Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices shall be in writing and delivered overnight courier services to the address for

	20.	Exhibits; Entire Agreement; Amendments. All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference and the provisions thereof constitute a
part of this Agreement. The terms herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other oral and written representations related thereto. Each party has had the benefit of legal counsel during the negotiations that have
resulted in this Agreement. As a consequence of such parity in bargaining power and position, this Agreement shall enjoy a neutral construction and shall not be strictly construed against either party as the scrivener hereof or pursuant to any other
legal theory of contract construction. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, unless in writing signed by both parties. 

  

	21.	Severability. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or illegal by any court or agency of competent jurisdiction, then that part
shall be limited or curtailed to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, and all other remaining terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

 

	22.	Counterparts/Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
but all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties agree that the effectiveness of any facsimile documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, be the same as manually-signed originals. Either party may require
that any facsimile documents and signatures provided hereunder be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or

loan, a “Committed Loan”) to Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the
limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.
Committed Loans may be Floating LIBOR Loans, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 2.02
Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans. (a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Floating LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Floating LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Person of Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Floating LIBOR Loans or
Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a

principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest
Period with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as,
or converted to, Floating LIBOR Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Floating LIBOR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

 

 20 

 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Floating LIBOR
Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00
p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01),
Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such
funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Agent by Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by Borrower,
there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing first, shall be applied, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to Borrower as provided above. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of
the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Floating LIBOR Loans and Borrower agrees to pay all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion. 

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

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

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements
of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower or certain
of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate
in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower or certain of its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total

plus 
  

 21 

 
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit. Each request by Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions
set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the
foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing
Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue
any Letter of Credit, if: 
 (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iv), the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders
have approved such expiry date. 
 (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms
purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the
L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing
Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit
would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer; 
 (C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a
currency other than Dollars; 
 (D) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c)
exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender; or 

 

 22 

 (E) unless specifically provided for in this Agreement, such Letter of
Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. 
 (v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no
obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept
the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
 (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” or “Agent” as
used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 

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

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

 23 

 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application at the address set forth
in Section 10.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related correspondence, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C
Issuer will provide Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of
Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower (or
the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of
such Letter of Credit. 
 (iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

(iv) If Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension
at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration
Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form
(as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that
is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified
in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. 
  

 24 

 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through
Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Floating LIBOR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to
the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Floating LIBOR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Floating LIBOR Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Floating LIBOR
Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

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

  

 25 

 
which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,
event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by
the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails
to make available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the
L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the LC/ Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly
from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Agent. 

(ii) If any payment received by Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and
to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, 
  

 26 

 
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

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

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

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

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

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken
or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any 
  

 27 

 
Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer,
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses or this Section 2.03(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but
only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to
pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C
Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason. 
 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial
drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize”
means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Agent
and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and Lenders, a security interest in all such cash,
deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. 

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is
issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as
most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 

(i) L/C Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Lender (i) L/C Issuer’s reasonable customary fees for
each commercial Letter of Credit and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate for Floating LIBOR Loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the
daily amount 
  

 28 

 
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. L/C Fees shall be (i) computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all L/C Fees shall accrue at the
Default Rate. 
 (j) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such individual customary
fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Conflict with Issuer
Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control. 

2.04 Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swing Line Lender
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans if the Autoborrow Agreement is in effect and to consider making loans, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, if the Autoborrow
Agreement is not in effect (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing
Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of
such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not
exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Swing Line is a discretionary, uncommitted facility and Swing Line Lender may terminate or suspend the Swing Line at any time in its sole discretion upon notice to
Borrower which notice may be given by Swing Line Lender before or after Borrower requests a Swing Line Loan hereunder. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Floating LIBOR Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Unless the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by the Swing Line
Lender as provided in subsection (a) above, each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made, at the election of Borrower, (1) pursuant to the Autoborrow Agreement; or (2) upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Agent,
which may be given by 
  

 29 

 
telephone. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which
shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Person of Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless (x) the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by the Swing Line Lender as provided in
subsection (a) above, or (y) the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing
Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV
is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Borrower at
its office by crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. Lenders agree that Swing Line Lender may agree to modify the borrowing procedures used in connection with the Swing Line in its
discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of Lenders hereunder other than notifying Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. 

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

(i) Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Floating LIBOR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall
be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of Floating LIBOR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to Agent in immediately available funds for the account
of Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Floating LIBOR Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for a Committed Loan submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request 

 

 30 

 
by Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Lender
fails to make available to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i),
Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which
such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required
to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender its
Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line

  

 31 

 
Lender. The obligations of Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the
Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable
Percentage shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Borrower
shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to Swing Line Lender. 
 2.05
Prepayments. (a) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Floating LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Floating LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid. Agent will promptly notify each
Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 

(b) Borrower may, upon notice to Swing Line Lender (with a copy to Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing
Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be
in a minimum principal amount of $100,000; provided, however, that any prepayments pursuant to the Autoborrow Agreement shall be deemed to comply with this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

(c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall immediately
prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect. 
  

 32 

 (d) If for any reason at any time the outstanding principal balance of all New Company
Grocery Site Loans shall exceed the New Company Grocery Site Limit, Borrower shall immediately prepay New Company Grocery Site Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, New Company
Grocery Site Loans may only be prepaid prior to the Maturity Date (i) with net proceeds from the sale of new company grocery site locations acquired and developed with the proceeds of New Company Grocery Site Loans or (ii) with funds other
than proceeds of the Committed Loans. 
 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Borrower may, upon notice
to Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date
of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if,
after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the L/C Sublimit or the
Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid
on the effective date of such termination. 
 (b) [Reserved] 

2.07 Repayment of Loans. (a) Borrower shall repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed
Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b) Borrower shall repay to Swing Line Lender each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity Date.

 2.08 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) each Base Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each Floating LIBOR Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Floating LIBOR Loans. 

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

 

 33 

 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower
under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

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

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

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

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03: 

(a) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a
commitment fee as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and (ii) the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date and shall be prorated for any partial quarter during which it is applicable.
The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such
quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of computing the commitment fee, Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments. 

(b) Agent’s Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in
the Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 2.10
Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days 

 

 34 

 
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear
interest for one day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

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

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

 35 

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

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to
repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender
makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit
Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments under Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 
  

 36 

 
10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c): 

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

2.13 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

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

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

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify
the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum

  

 37 

 
amount of $25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to
respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). 
 (b)
Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable
Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. 

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender
of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. If the existing Lenders do not provide the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel to achieve the full amount of such requested increase. Any such additional Lenders shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing
Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld). 
 (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate
Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. 

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Person of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the
Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and
correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of
this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists, and (iii) demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower will be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in
Section 6.12 after giving effect to such increase. The Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent
necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section. 

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the
contrary. 
  

 38 

 ARTICLE III 

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

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

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Agent, shall
deliver such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable the Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other 
  

 39 

 
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person. 
 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, any obligation of such
Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion,
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion. 

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

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with 
  

 40 

 
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3,01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing
or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the
L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender
or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

 

 41 

 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a)
any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or a Floating LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise); or 
 (b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Floating LIBOR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; 

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

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

 42 

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

(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be
terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
 (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all
outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; 
 (c) require that Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount
equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and 
 (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies
available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents; 
 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed
entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the
unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically
become effective, in each case without further act of Agent or any Lender. 
 8.03 Application of Funds. After the

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to Agent

fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and L/C Fees) payable to Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

constituting accrued and unpaid L/C Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably among Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

  

 61 

 Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal

aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and 
 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash
Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all
Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 

ARTICLE IX 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the L/C issuer hereby irrevocably appoints
Bank of America to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a
third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or
unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly 
  

 62 

 
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any
of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (d) Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and
10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to Agent by Borrower, a Lender
or the L/C Issuer. Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of
any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth
in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. 

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

9.05 Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein
as well as activities as Agent. 
  

 63 

 9.06 Resignation of Agent. Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person
has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a
successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and
(c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume
the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or
by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C
Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04)

to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower’s or Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;

followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each
of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Agent may be
recorded by Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise

exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

Documents (other than out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the routine administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or
thereof, (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iv) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (including all Attorney Costs of any counsel for Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower.
Borrower shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time
charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party 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 of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, 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 or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

 

 69 

 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) 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 Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.12(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to
in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby unless such damages resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Agent and the L/C Issuer, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 

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

 70 

 
equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 10.06 Successors and Assigns. (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 neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that
(i) except 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 or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate
amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined
as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of
Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans; (iii) any
assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Agent, the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the
proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the
Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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

  

 71 

 
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the
assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
 (c) Register. Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of
Borrower and the L/C Issuer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may
request and receive from Agent a copy of the Register. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01. 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as
though it were a Lender. 
  

 72 

 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time
pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and
words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (h) Deemed
Consent of Borrower. If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of the proviso
to the first sentence of Section 10.06(b)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered to Borrower by the assigning Lender (through Agent) unless such consent is
expressly refused by Borrower prior to such tenth Business Day. 
 (i) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among Lenders a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.
If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all
L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating LIBOR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)), If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating
LIBOR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties 
  

 73 

 
of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or
(h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from
Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to
have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of Agent, the Lenders and the
L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party 
  

 74 

 
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from
the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 10.11
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent
or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of
Credit shall remain outstanding. 
  

 75 

 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

10.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. 
 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER
LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA SITTING IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE WESTERN
DISTRICT, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NORTH CAROLINA STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE
COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
 (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN
ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
  

 76 

 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY NOT BE MADE BY TELECOPIER. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
 10.14 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION. 
 10.15 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.
