 BACKGROUND STATEMENT 
 The Borrowers,
Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. a Delaware corporation (“PXP”), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are parties to a Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 6, 2006 (which Prior

amount of $150,000,000. 
 In anticipation of the spin-off by the Parent of PXP to the Parent’s shareholders, the Borrowers have
requested that the Lenders and Administrative Agent enter into this Agreement to, among other things, (i) release PXP from its Obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement and (ii) adjust certain financial covenants of the Borrowers.

 The Lenders and the Administrative Agent are willing to make the amendments set forth herein and to continue to make available to the
Borrowers the credit facilities described herein, in each case subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in Article VIII with respect to the guaranty of the Parent, each Borrower shall be
severally, and not jointly, liable for the Loans made to such Borrower hereunder.

 ARTICLE II 
 AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE
LOANS 
 2.1 Commitments. Each Lender severally agrees, subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make
loans (each, a “Loan,” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrowers, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including June 6, 2006 to but not including the Termination Date, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Commitment, provided that no Borrowing of Loans shall be made if, immediately after giving effect thereto, (y) the Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Commitment at such time
or (z) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Loans. 
  

 19 

 2.2 Borrowings. 
 (a) The Loans shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans (each, a “Type” of Loan),
provided that (i) all Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be of the same Type, and (ii) no LIBOR Loans may be borrowed at any time prior to the third Business Day after
June 6, 2006. 
 (b) In order to make a Borrowing, the applicable Borrower will give the Administrative Agent written notice not later
than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three Business Days prior to each Borrowing to be comprised of LIBOR Loans and on the Business Day of each Borrowing to be comprised of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that requests for the
Borrowing of Loans to be made on June 6, 2006 may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be given with less advance notice than as specified hereinabove. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be
irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-1 and shall specify (1) the Borrower to which the Loans are to be made, (2) the aggregate principal amount and initial Type of the Loans to be made pursuant to such
Borrowing, (3) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (4) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Upon its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the proposed Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: 
 (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans shall not be less than $3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and the aggregate principal
amount of each Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, if less, in the amount of the aggregate Commitments less the Aggregate Credit
Exposure); 
 (ii) if the Borrower shall have failed to designate the Type of Loans comprising a Borrowing, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have requested a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans; and 
 (iii) if the Borrower shall have failed to select
the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of one month. 
 (c) Not later than 1:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the requested Borrowing Date, each applicable Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at
the Payment Office an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the Loan or Loans to be made by such Lender. To the extent such Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided
hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 20 

 2.3 Disbursements; Funding Reliance; Domicile of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the terms of any written
instructions from any Authorized Officer of the Borrower, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated under any circumstances to forward amounts to any account not listed in an Account Designation Letter. Each Borrower may
at any time deliver to the Administrative Agent an Account Designation Letter listing any additional accounts or deleting any accounts listed in a previous Account Designation Letter. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2 and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and
(ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the Base Rate. If such Borrower and Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included
in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.1(c) are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any such payment on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make any such payment required hereunder. 
 (d) Each Lender may, at its
option, make and maintain any Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Lending Offices, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan to or for the account of such
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 2.4 Evidence of Debt; Notes. 
 (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the applicable
Lending Office of such 

  

 21 

 
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lending Office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Lending Office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the
Register pursuant to Section 11.6(c), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the Borrower and amount of each Loan, the Type of each Loan and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each Loan and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers in respect of each Loan and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in
the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, Section 2.4(a)) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as
applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Loans made by each Lender shall, if requested by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced
Notes appropriately completed in substantially the form of Exhibit A, in each case executed by a Borrower and payable to the order of such Lender. Each Note shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and thereof. 
 2.5 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of
this Section 2.5, Section 2.6(e) or Section 9.2. 
 (b) At any time and from time to time after the date
hereof, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Unutilized Commitments, provided that any such partial reduction shall
be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.5(a) may not thereafter be reinstated.

 (c) Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be applied ratably among the Lenders according to their respective
Commitments. 
  

 22 

 2.6 Mandatory Payments and Prepayments. 
 (a) Maturity Date. Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal
of the Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Excess of Commitments. In the event that, at any time, the
Aggregate Credit Exposure shall exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), the Borrowers will immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in the amount
of such excess. 
 (c) Casualty Events. Not later than 270 days after receipt by any Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof of any proceeds
of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event (or, if earlier, upon its determination not to repair or replace any property subject to such Casualty Event or to acquire assets used or useable in the business
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries), the Borrowers will prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty Event, less any amounts (A) under $2,500,000 for each occurrence
or series of related occurrences or (B) theretofore applied (or contractually committed to be applied) to the repair or replacement of property subject to such Casualty Event or to acquire assets used or useable in the business of the Parent
and its Subsidiaries and will deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently with such prepayment, a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrowers in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and setting forth the
calculation of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including in clause (ii) below) or in any other Credit Document, the
Administrative Agent shall turn over to the Borrowers any such proceeds received during such 270-day period (unless the Borrowers have, prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such proceeds, notified the Administrative Agent of their
determination not to repair or replace the property subject to the applicable Casualty Event or to acquire assets used or useable in the business of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries), and (ii) any and all such proceeds received or held by
the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries during the continuance of an Event of Default (regardless of any proposed or actual use thereof for repair, replacement or reinvestment) shall be applied to prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans; and provided further that no prepayment shall be required with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received by an Insurance Subsidiary to the extent that such proceeds must be retained by such
Insurance Subsidiary to satisfy an applicable Requirement of Law or if such retention is, in the opinion of any applicable Governmental Authority, necessary or appropriate to maintain the soundness of such Insurance Subsidiary, whether or not the
opinion of such Governmental Authority has the force of law. 
 (d) Asset Dispositions. Not later than 180 days after receipt by any
Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof of proceeds in respect of any Asset Disposition (or, if earlier, upon its determination not to apply such proceeds to the acquisition of assets used or useable in the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries), the
Borrowers will prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Disposition, less any amounts theretofore applied (or contractually committed to be applied) to acquire assets
used or useable in the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, and will deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently with such prepayment, a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrowers in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative 

  

 23 

 
Agent and setting forth the calculation of such Net Cash Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.6(d) shall be deemed
to permit any Asset Disposition not expressly permitted under Section 7.2 or any Acquisition, Joint Venture or other use of proceeds otherwise not permitted under the Credit Documents. 
 (e) Application of Payments. Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be applied to reduce the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans (and applied to specific Loans in the manner designated by the Borrowers or, if there is no such designation, in any manner reasonably determined by the Agent) but without any corresponding permanent reduction of the
Commitments. Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Sections 2.6(c) and (d) shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of the Borrower experiencing the Casualty Event or making the Asset Disposition
(and, thereafter, of PLIC if it is not such Borrower) with a corresponding permanent reduction of the Commitments (and if the outstanding Loans are less than the amount of the required prepayment, the Commitments shall nevertheless be reduced by the
full amount of the required prepayment). Such prepayments shall be applied first to prepay all Base Rate Loans, and then to prepay LIBOR Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Each payment or prepayment pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.6 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each. Each payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan made pursuant to the provisions of this Section
on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be made together with all amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a consequence thereof. 
 (f) Notice. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the
Lenders; provided that if such notice has also been furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders with respect thereto. 
 2.7 Voluntary Prepayments. 
 (a) At
any time and from time to time, the Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (iii) below), upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans and one Business Day prior to each intended prepayment of Base Rate Loans, provided that (i) each partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each partial prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than
$3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any single Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR
Loans under such Borrowing to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) unless made together with all amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a
consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment, the applicable Borrower and the aggregate
principal amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period of the Borrowing 

  

 24 

 
pursuant to which made), and shall be irrevocable and shall bind the applicable Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein. Loans
prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a notice of prepayment under this Section, the Administrative Agent will
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that if such notice has also been furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders with respect thereto. 
 (b) Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid,
in proportion to the principal amount held by each. 
 2.8 Interest. 
 (a) Interest Rates. Each Borrower will pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each of its Loans, from the date of Borrowing
thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full, (i) at the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as in effect from time to time
during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan. 
 (b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default by any Borrower in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any fees or other amount hereunder when due (whether at maturity, pursuant to acceleration or otherwise), and, at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and, to the greatest extent permitted by law, all interest accrued on the Loans and all other accrued and outstanding fees and other
amounts hereunder, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable from time to time thereafter to such Loans (whether the Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) plus 2% (or, in the case of interest, fees and other
amounts for which no rate is provided hereunder, at the Base Rate plus 2%), and, in each case, such default interest shall be payable on demand. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue after the filing by or
against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief. 
 (c)
Payment Dates. Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable as follows: 
 (i) in respect of each Base
Rate Loan (including any Base Rate Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, except as provided herein below), in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the
first such day to occur after June 6, 2006; provided, that in the event the Loans are repaid or prepaid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, then accrued interest in respect of all Base Rate Loans shall be payable together
with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof; 
 (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan (including any LIBOR Loan or
portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, except as provided 

  

 25 

 
hereinbelow), in arrears (y) on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of
Section 2.10(iv)) and (z) in addition, in the case of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period having a duration of six months or longer, on each date on which interest would have been payable under clause (y) above had successive
Interest Periods of three months’ duration been applicable to such LIBOR Loan; provided, that in the event all LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing are repaid or prepaid in full, then accrued interest in respect of such LIBOR
Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof; and 
 (iii) in respect of any Loan, at
maturity (whether pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand. 
 (d) Maximum Lawful Rate. Nothing contained
in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the amount of interest payable for the account of
any Lender on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such
maximum permissible amount. In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount, provided that at no
time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the
previous sentence. 
 (e) Notice of Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders
upon determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans after its receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, and upon each change in the Base Rate; provided, however, that the failure
of the Administrative Agent to provide the Borrowers or the Lenders with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of the Borrowers or the Lenders hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to the
Borrowers or any Lender. Each such determination (including each determination of the Reserve Requirement) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 
 2.9 Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay: 
 (a) To the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the period from the date of this Agreement to the Termination Date, at
the per annum rate specified in the definition of “Applicable Percentage” for such fee from time to time during such quarter on such Lender’s ratable share (based on the proportion that its Commitment bears to the aggregate
Commitments) of the average daily aggregate Commitments, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after June 6, 2006, and (ii) on the Termination Date;

  

 26 

 (b) To the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative fee described in the Fee
Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein. 
 2.10 Interest Periods. Concurrently with the giving of a
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of any Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans to be converted into, or LIBOR Loans to be continued as, LIBOR Loans, the applicable Borrower shall have the right to elect, pursuant
to such notice, the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrowers, be a one, two, three or six-month period; provided,
however, that: 
 (i) all LIBOR Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

 (ii) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of the Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan
(including the date of any continuation of, or conversion into, such LIBOR Loan), and each successive Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

 (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be outstanding under more than eight separate Interest Periods at any one time (for which purpose
Interest Periods shall be deemed to be separate even if they are coterminous); 
 (iv) if any Interest Period otherwise would
expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall expire on the next
preceding Business Day; 
 (v) the Borrowers may not select any Interest Period that expires after the Maturity Date, with
respect to Loans that are to be maintained as LIBOR Loans; 
 (vi) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is
no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which such Interest Period would otherwise expire, such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month; and 
 (vii) the Borrowers may not select any Interest Period (and consequently, no LIBOR Loans shall be made) if a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to any Borrowing. 
 2.11 Conversions and Continuations. 
 (a) The Borrowers shall have the right, on any Business Day occurring on or after
June 6, 2006, to elect (i) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, or to convert any LIBOR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day into Base Rate Loans, or
(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans the 

  

 27 

 
Interest Periods for which end on the same day for an additional Interest Period, provided that (w) any such conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base
Rate Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; any such conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans shall involve an
aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount
of such LIBOR Loans to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (x) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.16(f), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans
only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and, in any event, if a LIBOR Loan is converted into a Base Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower will pay,
upon such conversion, all amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a consequence thereof and (y) no conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted during the continuance of
a Default or Event of Default. 
 (b) The applicable Borrower shall make each such election by giving the Administrative Agent written notice
not later than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans and on the same Business Day as the intended effective date of any
conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-2 and shall specify (x) the date of such
conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (y) in the case of a conversion into, or a continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (z) the aggregate amount and Type of the Loans being
converted or continued. Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the proposed conversion or continuation. In the event that the applicable Borrower shall fail to
deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as provided herein with respect to any outstanding LIBOR Loans, such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof). In the event the applicable Borrower shall have failed to select in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any conversion into, or
continuation of, LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of one month. 
 2.12
Method of Payments; Computations; Apportionment of Payments. 
 (a) All payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made without
setoff, counterclaim or other defense, in Dollars and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment (except as otherwise expressly provided herein as to payments required to be
made directly to the Lenders) at the Payment Office prior to 12:00 noon, Charlotte time, on the date payment is due. Any payment made as required hereinabove, but after 12:00 noon, Charlotte time, shall be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day. If any payment falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except that in the case of LIBOR Loans to which the provisions of
Section 2.10(iv) are applicable, such due date shall be the next preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall then be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other applicable amounts. 
  

 28 

 (b) The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Lenders like amounts relating to payments made to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (i) if the payment is received by 12:00 noon, Charlotte time, in immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each relevant Lender on the same date,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such payment (based on the percentage that the amount of the relevant payment owing to such Lender bears to the total amount of such payment owing to all of the
relevant Lenders), and (ii) if such payment is received after 12:00 noon, Charlotte time, or in other than immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each such Lender its ratable share of such payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds on the next succeeding Business Day (or in the case of uncollected funds, as soon as practicable after collected). If the Administrative Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate
Lenders as required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such Lenders, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Lender, on demand, its ratable share of such payment with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each
day from the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent until the date repaid to such Lender. 
 (c) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (d) All computations of interest and fees hereunder (including computations of the Reserve Requirement) shall be made on the basis of a year consisting
of (i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under (i) and (ii) above, with regard to the actual number of days (including the
first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to
the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: 
 (i) first, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit
Documents; 
  

 29 

 (ii) second, to the payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent hereunder
or under any other Credit Document; 
 (iii) third, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of each of the Lenders in connection with
enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender; 
 (iv)
fourth, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest (including, without limitation, fees incurred and interest accruing at the then applicable rate after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event irrespective
of whether a claim for such fees incurred and interest accruing is allowed in such proceeding); 
 (v) fifth, to the
payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations; 
 (vi) sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations
and other obligations that shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid; and 
 (vii) seventh, to the payment of the surplus (if any) to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
 (f) In
carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and all amounts shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders in
proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vii) above. 
 2.13 Recovery of Payments. 
 (a) The Borrowers agree that to the extent the Borrowers make a payment
or payments to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such payment or repayment,
the Obligation intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received. 
 (b) If any amounts distributed by the Administrative Agent to any Lender are subsequently returned or repaid by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, their respective representatives or successors in interest, or any other Person,
whether by court order, by settlement approved by the Lender in question, or pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, 
  

 30 

 
such Lender will, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, pay the Administrative Agent such amount. If any such amounts are
recovered by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers, their respective representatives or successors in interest or such other Person, the Administrative Agent will redistribute such amounts to the Lenders on the same basis as such amounts were
originally distributed. 
 2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to provide for working capital and
general corporate purposes and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 
 2.15 Pro Rata Treatment. 

(a) All fundings, continuations and conversions of Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments to provide
Loans (in the case of the funding of Loans pursuant to Section 2.2) or on the basis of their respective outstanding Loans (in the case of continuations and conversions of Loans pursuant to Section 2.11, and additionally in
all cases in the event the Commitments have expired or have been terminated), as the case may be from time to time. All payments on account of principal of or interest on any Loans, fees or any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any
one or more Lenders shall be apportioned ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively. 
 (b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any
of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as
provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations of the other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
other amounts owing them, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers 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 Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section 2.15(b) shall apply). Each Borrower 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 Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.15(b) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with
the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.15(b) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 
  

 31 

 2.16 Increased Costs; Change in Circumstances; Illegality. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender
(except the Reserve Requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate); 
 (ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.17 and the imposition of, or any
change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if
any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of
such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.16(a) or Section 2.16(b) and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to 

  

 32 

 
demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof). 
 (e) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (y) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination that the rate of
interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” upon the basis of which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making
or maintaining LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon such notice, (i) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the
respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (unless then repaid in full), be converted into Base Rate Loans, (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended
(including pursuant to the Borrowing to which such Interest Period applies), and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be a request for
Base Rate Loans, in each case until the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (and the Required Lenders, if making such
determination, shall have so notified the Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers and the Lenders. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or
regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law), has or would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender to make or to continue to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, such Lender will forthwith so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. Upon such notice,
(i) each of such Lender’s then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Period applicable thereto (or, to the extent any such LIBOR Loan may not lawfully be maintained as a LIBOR Loan
until such expiration date, upon such notice) and to the extent not sooner prepaid, be converted into a Base Rate Loan, (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended
(including pursuant to any Borrowing for which the Administrative Agent has received a Notice of Borrowing but for which the Borrowing Date has not arrived), and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given at any
time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in each case until such Lender shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and
shall have so notified the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers. 
  

 33 

 2.17 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by 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) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.17(a), the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental
Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the
Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

  

 34 

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax
purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund or, at the Borrower’s direction, offset
the amount of such refund against another obligation of such Borrower to such Lender (but, in either case, only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 
  

 35 

 2.18 Compensation. The Borrowers will compensate each Lender upon demand for all losses, expenses
and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans) that such Lender may incur or
sustain (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation,
(ii) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of any assignment made pursuant to Section 2.19(a) or
any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2), (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers or (iv) as a consequence of
any other failure by the Borrowers to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Loan when due hereunder. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded its
relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however,
that each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.18. A certificate (which shall be in reasonable detail)
showing the bases for the determinations set forth in this Section 2.18 by any Lender as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers either directly or
through the Administrative Agent. Determinations set forth in any such certificate made in good faith for purposes of this Section 2.18 of any such losses, expenses or liabilities shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 2.19 Replacement of Lenders; Mitigation of Costs. 
 (a) The Borrowers may, at any time at their sole expense and effort, require any Lender (i) that has requested compensation from the Borrowers under Sections 2.16(a) or 2.16(b) or payments from
the Borrowers under Section 2.17, or (ii) the obligation of which to make or maintain LIBOR Loans has been suspended under Section 2.16(f) or (iii) that is a Defaulting Lender, in any case upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.6(b)(iv); 

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.18) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or
the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); 
  

 36 

 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a request for compensation under
Sections 2.16(a) or 2.16(b) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 
 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation
under Sections 2.16(a) or 2.16(b), or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender gives a
notice pursuant to Section 2.16(f), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.16(a), 2.16(b) or 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 2.16(f), 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. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 2.20 Commitment Increase. 
 (a) The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time
by written notice to and in consultation with the Administrative Agent, to request an increase in the aggregate Commitments (each such requested increase, a “Commitment Increase”), by having one or more existing Lenders increase
their respective Commitments then in effect (each, an “Increasing Lender”), by adding as a Lender with a new Commitment hereunder one or more Persons that are not already Lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”), or a
combination thereof; provided that (i) each Commitment Increase shall be offered first to the Lenders pro rata (based on their then-existing Commitments), (ii) each request for a Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate minimum amount
of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the aggregate of all Commitment Increases shall not exceed $50,000,000, and (iv) no existing Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment as a result of
any request for a Commitment Increase by the Borrower unless it agrees in writing and in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Each Additional Lender
must be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrowers. Each Additional Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall execute a joinder agreement to evidence the
Commitment of such Additional Lender and its status as a Lender hereunder and each Increasing Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall sign an agreement evidencing the increased Commitment of such Lender, in each case together with
all such other documentation (including evidence of the Borrowers’ authorization of the increase) as the Administrative Agent, the Additional Lender or the Increasing Lender may reasonably require, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Additional Lender or the Increasing Lender. 
  

 37 

 (c) If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Commitment Increase Date”, which shall be a Business Day not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date) and the final allocation of such increase. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Commitment Increase Date. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Lenders, to enter into any amendments
to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such Commitment Increase. 
 (d) To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable in the event of any non-ratable increase in the aggregate Commitments, on the Commitment Increase Date, (i) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans (the “Existing
Loans”) shall automatically be converted into Base Rate Loans, (ii) immediately after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Borrowers shall, if they so request, convert such Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans (the
“Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Loans and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11(b), (iii) each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Lender’s
ratable share (based on the Commitments, calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (z) such Lender’s ratable share (based on the Commitments, calculated without giving effect to the
Commitment Increase) of the Existing Loans, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds equal to the difference, if
positive, between (y) such Lender’s ratable share (based on the Commitments, calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Existing Loans and (z) such Lender’s ratable share (based on the Commitments,
calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (v) the Lenders shall be deemed to hold the Subsequent Borrowings ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (calculated after
giving effect to the Commitment Increase), (vi) the Borrower shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the Existing Loans to the Lenders entitled thereto and (vii) Schedule 1.1(a) shall automatically be amended to reflect
the Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the Commitment Increase. The conversion of the Existing Loans pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.18 if the Commitment Increase Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.

any liability under ERISA if any such Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliates thereof were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the most recent valuation date. No Multiemployer Plan is in “reorganization”
or is “insolvent” within the meaning of such terms under ERISA.

nor do the Borrowers know of any such claim, and to the knowledge of the Borrowers, the use of such Intellectual Property by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the known rights of any Person, except for such claims and

addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lenders or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 ARTICLE X 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wachovia to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights
as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative 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 any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. 
 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of 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 Credit Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
  

 62 

 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 11.5 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing
such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit 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
or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit 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 the Administrative Agent. 
 10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely
upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan
that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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. 
 10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  

 63 

 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of
its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, 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 Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers 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 Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 11.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 10.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agent,
Documentation Agent or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a
Lender hereunder.

 11.1 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans. 
 (b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, 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), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit 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, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or
operated by any Borrower or Subsidiary thereof, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or Subsidiary thereof, 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 any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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 any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other
Credit Document, if such Borrower or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided further, that the Indemnitees shall, at the request
of the Borrowers, only use one counsel among them in any single matter or related matters unless any such Indemnitee determines in its sole discretion that its interests may differ from any other Indemnitee. 
  

 65 

 (c) To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s proportion (based on the percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders 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 the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.1(c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.3(c). 
 (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower 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
Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.1(b) 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 (including Intralinks, SyndTrak or similar systems) in
connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (e) All amounts due under
this Section shall be payable by the Borrowers upon demand therefor. 
 11.2 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue;
Service of Process. 
 (a) This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall (except as may be expressly otherwise provided in any
Credit Document) be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, but excluding all other choice of law and conflicts of law rules).

 (b) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
the State of New York sitting in New York City and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Credit 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 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 

  

 66 

 
Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Borrower 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 Credit Document in any court referred to in Section 11.2(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 
 11.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT 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 CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 11.4 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication. 
 (a) Except in the cases of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 11.4(b)), all notices and other communications provided for
herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows: 
 (i) if to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, to it at the address (or telecopier number) specified for such person on
Schedule 1.1(a); and 
 (ii) if to any Lender, to it at its address (or telecopier number) set forth in its
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been
given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next
business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.4(b) shall be effective as provided in Section 11.4(b). 
  

 67 

 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to
Article II. The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or other
communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication
is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (except that each Lender need not give notice of any such change to the other Lenders in their capacities as such). 
 11.5 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver or discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any Borrower or
Subsidiary thereof from, any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required
Lenders), and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent shall:

 (a) unless agreed to by each Lender directly affected thereby, (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate
of or forgive any interest thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to waive the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce or forgive any fees hereunder (other than fees
payable to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger for its own account), (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity date or any other scheduled date for the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan (including any scheduled date for
the mandatory reduction or termination of any Commitments, but excluding any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.6(c) and 2.6(d) or reduction or termination of the Commitments in connection therewith), or
extend the time of payment of any fees hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger for its own account), or (iii) increase any Commitment of any such Lender over the amount thereof in effect or extend the
maturity thereof (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments, if agreed to by the Required Lenders or all Lenders
(as may be required hereunder with respect to such waiver), shall not constitute such an increase); or 
  

 68 

 (b) unless agreed to by all of the Lenders, (i) release the Parent from its obligations under
Article VIII other than as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number or percentage of
Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take or approve, or direct the Administrative Agent to take, any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including as set forth in the definition of “Required
Lenders”), (iii) change any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents requiring, by its terms, the consent or approval of all the Lenders for such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or
consent, (iv) change or waive any provision of Section 2.15, any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document requiring pro rata treatment of any Lenders, or this Section 11.5 or (v) amend, modify
or waive any condition precedent to any Borrowing set forth in Section 3.2 (including in connection with any waiver of an existing Default or Event of Default); 
 and provided further that the Fee Letter may only be amended or modified, and any rights thereunder waived, in a writing signed by the parties thereto. 
 Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit
on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein. 
 11.6 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary thereof may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of Section 11.6(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.6(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Lender may at any time
assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to
the following conditions: 
  

 69 

 (i)(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in clause (A)
above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date)
shall not be less than $5,000,000, in any case, treating assignments to two or more Approved Funds under common management as one assignment for purposes of the minimum amounts, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (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 Loan or the Commitment assigned;

 (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (B) of
Section 11.6(b)(i) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (y) an Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (z) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 
 (iv) the parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 
 (v) no such assignment shall be made to any Borrower or any of such Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries; and 
 (vi) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement 

  

 70 

 
(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 2.16(a), 2.16(b), 2.17, 2.18 and 11.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment. If requested by or on behalf of the assignee, the Borrowers, at their own expense, will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Note or Notes to the order of the assignee (and, if the assigning Lender has retained any
portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, to the order of the assigning Lender), prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.4 as necessary to reflect, after giving effect to the assignment, the Commitments
and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and (to the extent of any retained interests) the assigning Lender, in substantially the form of Exhibit A. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.6(d).

 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address for notices
referred to in Schedule 1.1(a) a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any of such 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 Commitments and/or the Loans; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 Section 11.5(a) and clause (i) of Section 11.5(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.6(e), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.16(a), 2.16(b), 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.3 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(b) as though it were a Lender. 
  

 71 

 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16(a),
Section 2.16(b) or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) 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 Notes, 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) 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 or any state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand. 
  

 72

11.1, shall survive the payment in full of all Loans, the termination of the Commitments and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. 
 11.9 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any
jurisdiction. 
 11.10 Construction. The headings of the various articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement and the table of
contents have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the other Credit Documents, in the event of any
inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any of the other Credit Documents, the provision of this Agreement shall control. 
 11.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree 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 other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential to the same extent required of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder), (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 Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to
any other party hereto, (e) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (but no less restrictive than) 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 each Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers 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 the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement
with a Borrower or Subsidiary thereof with respect to such information). 
  

 73 

 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries relating to any such Borrower or Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Borrower or Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower or 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. 
 11.12 Separateness of Obligations. The Obligations
with respect to each Loan, the interest payable with respect thereto, and any fees, costs, or expenses directly related to such Loan shall be the several Obligations of the Borrower that borrowed such Loan, and such Obligations shall not be the
joint Obligations of any other Borrower as a co-borrower, guarantor or surety except as specifically agreed in Article VIII hereof. 
 11.13 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 Credit 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 for the Fee Letter). Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 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. 
 11.14 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and
restates the Prior Credit Agreement. The Prior Credit Agreement had amended and restated the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2004 (the “2004 Credit Agreement”), among the Parent, PLIC, PXP, the lenders party thereto,
Wachovia, as administrative agent, The Bank of New York, as syndication agent and PNC Bank National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank and BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc., as documentation agents. All Notes issued pursuant to the 2004 Credit
Agreement and other Obligations (as such terms are defined in each of the Prior Credit Agreement and the 2004 Credit Agreement) issued, existing or arising under such previous agreements shall continue in full force and effect hereunder, except to
the extent amended, modified or replaced, as of the Restatement Closing Date or thereafter, pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
 11.15 Disclosure of Information. Each Borrower agrees and consents to the Administrative Agent’s and the Arranger’s disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Gold Sheets and
other similar bank trade publications. Such information will consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications. 
  

 74 

 11.16 PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. 
 11.17 Termination of PXP as a Borrower. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and the effectiveness of this
Agreement, (i) PXP will have paid in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts outstanding under and in connection with the Prior Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans
or otherwise extend any additional credit to or for the benefit of PXP under the Prior Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents will automatically terminate and (iii) PXP shall be released from all obligations and duties arising from or
under the Prior Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, other than any obligations that may arise after the Restatement Closing Date with respect to the indemnification, expense reimbursement and other provisions of Section 1.11 of the
Prior Credit Agreement.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT, made as of the 2nd day of April, 2008 or such earlier date that the parties agree (the “Effective Date”) (the
“Agreement”) by and between GOLDEN STAR MANAGEMENT SERVICES COMPANY or its nominee (the “Company”) and MR. DOUGLASS “SCOTT” BARR (the “Employee”). 
 WHEREAS the Company wishes to have the benefit of the Employee’s services; and 
 WHEREAS the Employee wishes to be so employed. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 
 1. Employment. 
 (a) The Company shall
employ the Employee, and the Employee shall serve in the employ of the Company and render exclusive and full-time services to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in
its sole discretion, may second the Employee to the Company’s parent corporation, Golden Star Resources Ltd., a Canadian corporation (“Golden Star”), or to any other affiliate of Golden Star with or without a written secondment
agreement, for all or any part of the term of this Agreement. In the event of such secondment, the Employee will operate as a seconded employee of the seconding affiliate. 
 (b) The Employee shall serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Golden Star and shall perform duties subject to the overall policies and directions of Golden Star’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. 
 (c) The Employee shall not serve as a director, general partner or manager of any other entity without the prior written
consent of each of the Board of Directors of the Company and Golden Star. 
 (d) The Employee’s principal place of business with respect
to his services to the Company shall be the Company’s offices in Littleton, Colorado or any successor office. 
 (e) The Employee
acknowledges that he will be required to travel extensively and perform his duties in other locations and the Employee shall undertake such amount of travel away from his principal place of employment as may reasonably be necessary to carry out his
duties and responsibilities hereunder. 
 2. Term of Employment. The Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date. Unless
the Employee’s employment is terminated as provided in Section 5, the term of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be for one (1) year from the Effective Date. The Term shall be
extended automatically for successive one-year periods on each successive anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Employee or the Company provides written notice to the other at least three (3) months prior to the anniversary of the
Effective Date 

 
of his or its intention not to extend the Term, in which case the Term shall end on that anniversary of the Effective Date. 
 If the Company notifies the Employee of its intent not to extend the Term, the Agreement and the Employee’s employment shall be deemed to have been
terminated without cause pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) and the Employee shall be entitled to the payments and other benefits set forth in Section 5(b)(ii). 
 3. Services. The Employee shall devote his entire business time, best efforts, skills and attention to the Company in fulfilling his duties and responsibilities hereunder faithfully and diligently. The Employee
shall assume and perform to the best of his abilities the responsibilities of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Golden Star as well as such other responsibilities as may be assigned to him by the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company or Golden Star and as are appropriate to the offices he holds. The Employee will engage in no other business or activity for compensation except for the management of his personal investments and any business or activity with
respect to which he has received the prior written consent of each of the Board of Directors of the Company and Golden Star. 
 4.
Compensation and Benefits. The Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits: 
 (a) The Company shall pay to the Employee, and
the Employee hereby accepts, a salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of US$350,000 per annum. The Employee’s salary may be increased from time to time during the term of the Agreement and, upon any increase; such increased
salary shall then become the Base Salary. The Base Salary shall be payable in equal bi-monthly installments in arrears. 
 (b) The Employee
shall be entitled to participate in Golden Star’s Second Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan and in any successor option plan (the “Option Plan”). Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Golden Star and
upon final appointment, the Employee shall receive a grant of 250,000 options. The value of each option shall be determined using a Black Scholes valuation and based on the value of one option on the day of grant. 
 (c) The Employee shall be entitled to participate in Golden Star’s Executive Management Performance Bonus Plan and in any successor bonus plan. The
target bonus level shall be 50% of Base Salary but this may vary between 0% and 100% depending on results and performance. 
 (d) The Employee
shall be paid an employment starting bonus of US$50,000 payable in the first applicable payroll after the start of employment. 
 (e) The
Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable and documented travel, entertainment and other business expenses actually and properly incurred by him in connection to his duties hereunder. The Employee shall render expense accounts
requesting reimbursements of his expenses hereunder within a reasonable period of time 

  

 2 

 
following such expense and in accordance with such documentation and verification as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company may from time
to time require. 
 (f) The Employee shall be entitled to participate in such of the Company’s or Golden Star’s benefit and deferred
compensation plans as are from time to time available to executive officers of the Company or Golden Star, including medical and dental health plans, life and disability insurance plans, supplemental retirement programs and other fringe benefit
plans (provided, however, that the Employee’s benefits may be modified or the Employee may be denied participation in any such plan because of a condition or restriction imposed by law or regulation or third-party insurer or other
provider relating to participation). 
 (g) The Employee shall be entitled to participate in any and all applicable group savings or
retirement plans, or other fringe benefits of the Company or Golden Star as established from time to time in which executive officers are eligible to participate, provided that the Employee shall have fulfilled all eligibility requirements
for such benefits. 
 (h) The Employee shall be entitled to five (5) weeks of paid vacation during each year of employment hereunder at
such time or times as may be selected by the Employee and approved by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and as are in accordance with the Company’s policies and reasonable operating requirements. The Employee shall be
entitled to all public holidays observed by the Company’s office to a maximum of ten (10) days per annum. 
 5. Termination.
The Agreement and Employee’s employment may be terminated in the following manner. In each case, the Company shall have no obligations to the Employee following termination pursuant to Section 5, other than as set forth in this Agreement
and as provided in any benefit plans in which the Employee is a participant at the date of termination. 
 (a) Upon
Retirement: 
 (i) Early retirement, upon the mutual agreement of the Employee and the Company, Employee may retire at
any time on or after the date he attains age sixty-two and one-half and prior to the date when he attains age sixty-five. At the time of termination, the Employee shall be paid in a lump sum payment all accrued salary, any benefits then due and
payable under any plans of the Company or Golden Star in which the Employee is a participant (in accordance with the provisions of the applicable plan), accrued vacation pay and reimbursement of any appropriate business expenses incurred by the
Employee in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the effective date of termination (“Accrued Compensation”). The Company shall also pay the cost of Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended
(“COBRA”) coverage under the Company’s group health plan for Employee and the members of his family who are covered under the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the termination of the Employee’s
employment with the Company (referred to as “Family”). Additionally, during the period beginning on the date when the Employee’s maximum period of group health coverage under COBRA terminates and ending on the earliest
of the date when the Employee (1) attains age 65, (2) dies, or (3) becomes eligible for group 

  

 3 

 
health coverage provided by a subsequent employer, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the cost of medical insurance for the Employee and his
Family. The amount of such reimbursement shall be equal to the lesser of the actual cost of coverage for the Employee and his Family or the monthly premium for CoverColorado coverage with the “premium” coverage and the lowest available
deductible for the Employee and his Family (“Premium Reimbursement”). Premium Reimbursement shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Employee’s submission of proof of premium payment. 
 (ii) Normal retirement, except as provided otherwise in Section 5(a) (ii)(1), Employee’s employment shall automatically
terminate upon the Employee’s sixty-fifth birthday. 
 (1) Upon recommendation from the President and Chief Executive
Officer of Golden Star, the Board of Directors of the Company may, on or before the Employee’s sixty-fifth birthday and each subsequent birthday, approve the extension of his employment and this Agreement for one year, until his next birthday.

 (2) At the time of termination, the Employee shall be paid in a lump sum payment all Accrued Compensation. 
 (b) By the Company: 
 (i) For cause, immediately upon notice in writing from the Company to the Employee. For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall mean: (1) unless resulting from disability as defined in Section 5(b)(iv),
the Employee’s material breach of any terms of this Agreement, if such material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach to the Employee from the Company setting forth with specificity the
nature of the breach or, if cure cannot reasonably be effected within such 30-day period, if the Employee does not commence to cure the breach within such 30-day period and thereafter pursue such cure continuously and with due diligence until cure
has been fully effected; (2) the Employee’s willful dishonesty towards, fraud upon, crime against, bad faith action with respect to, deliberate or attempted injury to, or gross misconduct or material noncompliance with Golden Star’s
policies and procedures which is materially injurious to Golden Star; (3) the Employee’s conviction for any felony crime (whether in connection with Golden Star’s affairs or otherwise); or (4) the Employee’s failure to
comply with any lawful directive of the Board of Directors of Golden Star, the failure to comply with which is stated in such directive to be grounds for termination. At the time of termination, the Company shall pay the Accrued Compensation
to the Employee. 
 (ii) Without cause, at any time upon the giving of seven days prior written notice by the Company
to the Employee or the Company’s election not to extend the Term of the Agreement pursuant to Section 2. The Company shall pay to the Employee in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Employee, in a lump sum at the time of termination,
Accrued Compensation plus severance compensation (“Twelve Months Severance Compensation”) in an amount equal to 1.0 times the sum of (1) the 

  

 4 

 
Employee’s then current Base Salary, (2) the average of the target bonus for the Employee for the current year and the bonus paid to the Employee
for the previous year, (3) the amount of employer contributions contributed to the Employee’s account for the most recent plan year before the termination date, under Administaff Retirement Services (ARS) 401k Plan or any successor plan
and (4) the amount paid by the Company for welfare benefits, excluding payments for coverage under the Company’s group health plan, on behalf of the Employee for the most recent year. However, to the extent that such payment exceeds two
times the lesser of (1) the sum of Employee’s Base Salary and bonus under Golden Star’s Executive Management Performance Plan during the year prior to the year that includes the effective date of termination, or (2) the maximum
amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) (US$230,000 in 2008) (“Separation Pay Limitation”), the
amount of such payment in excess of the Separation Pay Limitation shall be withheld by the Company and paid on the six month anniversary of the Employee’s termination date or, if earlier, the Employee’s date of death. Additionally, the
Company shall pay the cost of COBRA coverage under the Company’s group health plan for the Employee and his Family and, beginning on the date when the Employee’s maximum period of group health coverage under COBRA terminates, Premium
Reimbursement. 
 (iii) Immediately and without notice upon the death of the Employee, in which case the Company shall
pay the cost of COBRA coverage for the Employee’s Family, provided such Family elects such continuing coverage in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s group health plan. Otherwise, the Company shall have no further obligation
to the Employee’s estate or representatives other than to pay Accrued Compensation up to and including the end of the month in which death occurred. 
 (iv) At any time upon 90-day notice in writing from the Company to the Employee, if the Employee shall by reason of disability have failed to perform his duties under the Agreement. During the 90-day notice
period, the Employee shall be considered a full-time employee of the Company. The Employee’s disability means his incapacity due to physical or mental illness such that he is unable to perform his previously assigned duties where (1) such
incapacity has been determined to exist by either (x) the Company’s disability insurance carrier or (y) the concurring opinions of two licensed physicians (one selected by the Company and one by the Employee) or (2) the Employee
has failed for any three consecutive months in any calendar year or for six months in the aggregate in any two successive calendar years to have performed substantially all of his duties under this Agreement by reason of physical or mental illness,
as determined by the Board of Directors of Golden Star. Any such separation for disability shall be only as not prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum at the time of termination
(1) Accrued Compensation, (2) such other payments as may be then due under any disability insurance policy of the Company in accordance with the terms of such policy, and (3) payment to the Employee of an amount equal to the cost of
COBRA coverage for the Employee to continue to participate in applicable benefit plans, excluding payments for coverage under 

  

 5 

 
the Company’s group health plan, for one year. Additionally, the Company shall pay the cost of COBRA coverage under the Company’s group health plan
for the Employee and his Family and, beginning on the date when the Employee’s maximum period of group health coverage under COBRA terminates, Premium Reimbursement. 
 (c) By the Employee: 
 (i) for material breach of this Agreement by the Company, in which case the Employee shall have no further obligation to the Company immediately following the end of the Company’s period to remedy the material breach. The
Company shall make a lump sum payment to the Employee in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Employee at the time of termination in an amount equal to Accrued Compensation plus Twelve Months Severance Compensation, provided that the amount of
such payment in excess of the Separation Pay Limitation shall be withheld by the Company and paid on the six month anniversary of the Employee’s termination date or, if earlier, the Employee’s date of death. Additionally, the Company shall
pay the cost of COBRA coverage under the Company’s group health plan for the Employee and his Family and, beginning on the date when the Employee’s maximum period of group health coverage under COBRA terminates, Premium Reimbursement. For
purposes of this clause, “material breach” shall include the occurrence of any of the following conditions, provided that the Employee gives the Company written notice of such condition within ninety (90) days of its
occurrence, and the Company fails to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice: 
 (1) the
material reduction by the Company of the Employee’s Base Salary or other benefits; 
 (2) the non-payment of
compensation and provision of benefits; 
 (3) the material reduction by Golden Star of the Employee’s responsibilities
or title; and 
 (4) the failure of a successor entity to adopt this Agreement. 
 (ii) voluntarily, if Sections 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii), 5(c)(i) or 6 are not applicable, at any time upon three months’ notice in
writing to the Company, in which case the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum at the time of termination Accrued Compensation up to and including the date of termination. The Company may waive the requirement of written notice or the
notice period in whole or in part, in which case the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum at the time of termination an amount equal to Accrued Compensation through the date on which termination would have occurred had the notice not been
waived. 
 (d) Upon any termination of employment as set forth in this Section 5 or 6, the Employee shall, unless
otherwise advised by the Company, do the following: 
  

 6 

 (i) immediately resign all offices held (including directorships, if any) in Golden Star
(and any subsidiary or other affiliated company of Golden Star and any entity in which Employee holds office at the direction of Golden Star) and, except as provided in this Agreement, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any additional
severance payment or additional compensation for loss of office or otherwise by reason of the resignation. If the Employee fails to resign as described herein, Golden Star is irrevocably authorized to appoint any other person in his name and on his
behalf to sign any documents or do any things necessary or requisite to give effect to such resignation; and 
 (ii) promptly
return to the Company all books of account, computer files, maps, records, reports and other documents, materials and property of the Company in the possession or control of the Employee. 
 (e) Except as provided in this Section 5, all amounts payable in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to Employee under this
Section 5 shall, within the time periods set forth in the General Release (defined below), at the option of the Company be delivered to the Employee personally or be mailed to the Employee at the address referred to in Section 10(d).

 (f) Prior to, and as an express condition precedent of, payment of the Twelve Months Severance Compensation, Premium
Reimbursement, or any amount in excess of the Separation Pay Limitation, as applicable, Employee shall sign, and not revoke, a complete and comprehensive release of all claims against Golden Star and all related entities and individuals in a form
acceptable to Golden Star (the “General Release”). 
 6. Change of Control. 
 (a) In the event of a Termination Upon a Change in Control, the Company shall immediately pay to the Employee in a lump sum payment
Accrued Compensation, Change of Control Severance and Medical Severance. However, the amount of such payment in excess of the Separation Pay Limitation shall be withheld by the Company and paid on the six month anniversary of the Employee’s
termination date or, if earlier, the Employee’s date of death. For the avoidance of doubt, a Termination Upon a Change of Control shall not constitute a termination under Section 5 of this Agreement, and the Employee shall not be entitled
to any payment or benefits under Section 5. The Company shall have no further obligation to the Employee except as provided under this Agreement and in any benefit plans in effect at the date of termination which are applicable to Employee.

 (i) “Termination Upon a Change in Control” shall mean a termination of the Employee by the Company without
cause within 12 months following a Change in Control (as defined below) or a termination by the Employee for Good Reason within 12 months following a Change in Control. 
 (ii) “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following (without the Employee’s express written consent): 
  

 7 

 (1) the assignment to the Employee by the Company or Golden Star of duties inconsistent
with, or a substantial alteration in the nature or status of, the Employee’s responsibilities immediately prior to a Change in Control; 
 (2) a material reduction by the Company in the Employee’s compensation or benefits as in effect on the date of a Change in Control; 
 (3) a relocation of the Company’s headquarters to a location more than thirty (30) miles from the location of the
Company’s headquarters immediately prior to the date of a Change in Control; 
 (4) any material breach by the Company
of any provision of this Agreement, if such material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach by the Employee to the Company setting forth with specificity the nature of the breach; or

 (5) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption and performance of this Agreement by any successor (by merger,
consolidation or otherwise) or assign of the Company,

interpretive guidance thereunder, including the exceptions for short-term deferrals, separation pay arrangements, reimbursements, and in-kind distributions. The Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the

imposition of additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, 
 (i) to the
extent the Employee is considered a specified employee under Section 409A of the Code and would be entitled to a payment during the six month period beginning on the Employee’s date of the termination that is not otherwise excluded under

Service”) and, as a result of such termination of employment, would receive any payment that, absent the application of this Section 10(e)(ii), would be subject to additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, then
such payment shall instead be payable on the date that is the earliest of (1) Employee’s Separation From Service, (2) the date the Employee becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code), (3) the
Employee’s death, or (4) such other date as will not result in such payment being subject to such additional tax. 
 (f) The parties
hereby agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Employee’s employment with the Company, or the termination or cancellation of that employment or this Agreement, including without limitation any
claim by the Employee under any federal, state or local law or statute regarding discrimination in employment, except as may be required to seek injunctive action under the Confidentiality

Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
from time to time in force. The hearing on any such arbitration shall be held in Denver, Colorado. If such Commercial Arbitration Rules and practices shall conflict with the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure or any other provisions of Colorado law
then in force, such Colorado rules and provisions shall govern. This submission and agreement to arbitration shall be specifically enforceable. 
 Within thirty (30) days after the receipt by one party of a written notice to arbitrate delivered by the other party, the parties shall mutually select the arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on such arbitrator, the selection of
the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the procedures of the American Arbitration Association. 
 Awards shall be final and binding
on all parties to the extent and in the manner provided by Colorado law. Each award shall expressly entitle the prevailing party to recover such party’s attorneys’ fees and costs, and the award shall specifically allocate such fees and
costs between the parties. All awards may be filed by any party with the Clerk of the District Court in the City and County of Denver, Colorado, and an appropriate judgment entered thereon and execution issued therefore. At the election of any
party, said award may also be filed, and judgment entered thereon and execution issued therefore, with the clerk of one or more other courts, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the party against whom such an award is rendered or its
property. 
 (g) This Agreement is personal to the Employee and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by
the Employee, provided that a deceased Employee’s right to payment hereunder may be assigned by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 The Company will
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner
and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 
 (h) This Agreement supersedes any and all prior
written and oral employment agreements between the Company and the Employee and, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, represents the entire agreement between the parties and may be amended, modified, superseded, or cancelled, and any of the
terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by each party hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall
not affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. 
  

 12 

 (i) This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (j) All
compensation and benefits to the Employee hereunder shall be reduced by all federal, state, local and other withholdings and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law.
