commitment for revolving loans and letters of credit and on the date hereof, to the extent there are any outstanding revolving loans (the “Existing Revolving Loans”), such Existing Revolving Loans shall be deemed for all purposes
Loans hereunder, made as of the Closing Date with an interest period of [__] months. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a
“Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until but excluding the Business Day preceding the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for
all such loans by such Lender not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment; provided, that at no time shall any Lender be obligated to make a Loan in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the then effective
Commitments exceeds the aggregate Outstandings at such time. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, amounts of Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. 

  
 37 

 Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures. (a) Notice From the Borrower.
Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and
(ii) 12:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a) (a
“Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Borrowing, with such a Notice of Borrowing. Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless,
outside of a suspension period pursuant to Section 2.15, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) Notice to Each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall give to
each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate. Each Lender shall, make
available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11 in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such proposed Borrowing. Upon satisfaction (or waiver) (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) on the Closing Date and any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of
the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 

(c) Non-Funding Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date such Lender is
required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article II and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to
the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower or any L/C Issuer. In addition, any Lender that shall not have made
available to the Administrative Agent any portion of any payment described above (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”) agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter (i) in the case of a
payment in respect of a Loan, at the interest rate applicable at the time to such Loan and (ii) otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including
any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation. The existence of any Non-Funding Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document. 

  
 38 

 Section 2.3 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.4 Letters of Credit. (a) Commitment and Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions
contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower remains responsible

Outstandings of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the
Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (b) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to
such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally
or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the
Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder); 

(ii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit is more than one year after the date of Issuance thereof; 

(iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit is later than five Business prior to the Scheduled Termination Date;

 (iv) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer; 

(v) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or 

(vi)(A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (B) such Letter of
Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrower (and, if such Letter
of Credit is Issued for the account of any other Group Member, the Borrower as well as such Group Member), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of
such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”). 

  
 39 

 (c) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if
(A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to Issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of
Credit. 
 For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first
Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are
satisfied or duly waived. If any Lender becomes, and during the period remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the L/C Issuer may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the obligations of
such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(a)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash
Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the L/C Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect
thereof. 
 (d) Procedures for Issuance; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. 

(i) The Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested issuance or
amendment of any Letter of Credit (an “L/C Request”), which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the third Business Day prior to the date of such
requested issuance; or, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Request shall specify in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed Issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder. In

of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); and (3) the nature of the proposed amendment. 
 (ii)
Promptly after receipt of any such notice, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such notice from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C
Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested Issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be.
Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to
the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 40 

 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Request, the
relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to Issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, that, any such Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is Issued. Unless otherwise
directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an auto-renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have
authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than five Business days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, that, the relevant L/C
Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to Issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof. 

(e) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the
Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (i) (A) on or prior to any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C
Issuer, (B) promptly following any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) promptly following any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain
a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any
related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no
later than the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement
Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (i) below. In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such
payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Lender) and,
irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from and including the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the
L/C Reimbursement Date but excluding the date such payment is made in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to the Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable
during such period to past due Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 
 (g) Reimbursement Obligations of the Lenders. Upon
receipt of the notice described in clause (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. By making
such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the L/C Obligation in respect of the
related L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following 

  
 41 

 
receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly
pay over to such Lender all payments received by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. 
 (h) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit Issued by it shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue
or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 

(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate
that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; 

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; 

(vi) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document; or 

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party; 
 provided, that, the foregoing shall
not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, punitive or special damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law)
suffered by the Borrower to the extent such damages are determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith of
any Loan Document when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. 

  
 42 

 (i) Conflict with L/C Request. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any
L/C Request, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any L/C Request, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (j) Addition of an L/C Issuer. A Lender (or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer. 

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least two
(2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably any unused portion of the Commitments; provided, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000. 
 (b) Mandatory. All outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled
Termination Date. 
 Section 2.6 Repayment of Obligations. (a) The Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Loans on the Scheduled Termination Date. 
 (b) The Borrower promises to pay to the Secured Hedging
Counterparty under any Secured Hedging Support Document an amount equal to the amount of any payment made by such Secured Hedging Counterparty under such Secured Hedging Support Document within one Business Day after the date such payment by such
Secured Hedging Counterparty is made. 
 Section 2.7 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay to the
Administrative Agent, with one Business Day notice, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan in whole or in part at any time (together with any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such
prepayment); provided, that each partial prepayment that is not of the entire outstanding amount under the Facility shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Any payments made to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12. 

Section 2.8 [Reserved] 
 Section 2.9 Interest. (a) Rate. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from
the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:
(i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect from time to time, (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
the Eurodollar Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of other Obligations (other than Secured Hedging Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations owing under any Secured
Hedging Document), at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Base Rate Loans, each as in effect from time to time. 
 (b) Payments. Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan, (A) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), (B)(1) if such Loan
is a Base 

  
 43 

 
Rate Loan, on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan, (2) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each
Interest Period applicable to such Loan, upon any prepayment of such Loan or termination of the applicable Interest Period and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest
Period, and (ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from any applicable counterparty after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan Document,
effective immediately upon (A) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (e) or (B) the delivery of a notice by the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default
and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the unpaid balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) then outstanding shall bear
interest at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to such Obligations from time to time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable. 

(d) Savings Clause. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to
the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary
to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate
permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest
hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the
operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 

Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Option. The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion
thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof
into Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time on any Business Day upon 3 Business Days’ prior notice; provided, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans having such Interest Period must be in an
aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing or (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15. 

(b) Procedure. Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice in
substantially the form of Exhibit 2.10(b) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of
the options selected therein. If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of
the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan. Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share. 

  
 44 

 Section 2.11 Fees. (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees
to pay to each Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Commitment of such Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of
the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each
calendar quarter and (y) on the Scheduled Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the Commitments). 

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, (i) to
such L/C Issuer, for its own account, (A) on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for the period from and including the date of issuance
of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Letter of Credit, plus (B) in connection with the issuance,
amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any payment or disbursement made by an L/C Issuer pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer, such customary fees and standard costs and charges being due and payable within five (5) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable, and (ii) to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares, a fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letters of
Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar quarter, ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Termination Date; provided, that the fee payable under this clause (ii) shall be
increased by 2% per annum and shall be payable, in addition to being payable on any date it is otherwise required to be paid hereunder, on demand effective immediately upon (x) the occurrence of any Event of Default under
Section 9.1(a) or (e) or (y) the delivery of a notice by the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing.

 (c) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the
Arrangers additional fees as agreed from time to time in writing. 
 (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during
such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting
Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that in the case of a Defaulting Lender that was or is a Lender (x) to the extent that a portion of the obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit is
reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(a), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro
rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such obligations of such Defaulting Lender cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the L/C
Issuer as its interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.12(d) will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.11). 

Section 2.12 Application of Payments. (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Unless otherwise provided in this
Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower (including optional prepayments pursuant to Section 2.7) shall be
applied to repay the Obligations as the Borrower designates. 

  
 45 

 (b) Application of Payments During an Event of Default. Each of Parent and the
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party and each other Group Member to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and
any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the termination of any Commitment
or the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligation, all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral (i) first, to pay
Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in such capacities, (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense
reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations and interest then due and payable in respect of
any amount owing under any Secured Hedging Document or Secured Cash Management Agreement, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, to provide cash collateral for Letters of
Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 9.4 and to pay amounts, other than interest, owing with respect to Secured Hedging Documents and Secured Cash Management Agreements, and (v) fifth, to the ratable
payment of all other Obligations. 
 (c) Application of Payments Generally. All payments that would otherwise be
allocated to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C
Reimbursement Obligation for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations and
third, to repay the Loans. All repayments of any Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans
having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this
Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Each payment by Borrower of
interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. Each payment by Borrower on account of principal
of the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all
such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any
such proceeding. 
 Section 2.13 Payments and Computations. (a) Procedure. The Borrower shall make each
payment under any Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent
shall have notified the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff: 

ABA No. 021-000021

Collections, Inc 

  
 46 

 The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds
relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12. The Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars
and without setoff or counterclaim. Each Lender shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer required pursuant to Section 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. on any
Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. 

(b) Computations of Interests and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made by on the basis of a year
of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty
(360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that
any such Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative
Agent (including determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) or, if applicable in the case of the Eurodollar Rate used to determine
interest on Secured Hedging Reimbursement Obligations, the applicable Secured Hedging Counterparty shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Payment Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time. 

(d) Advancing Payments. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the
date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to
Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement (the “Participant  

  
 47 

 
Register”). In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of
ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the principal amounts (and related interest
amounts), rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder. Each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (b) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addressed of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Reimbursement Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall 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, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice (but no Lender shall be entitled to view any information in the Register except such information contained therein with respect to the of Obligations owing to such Lender). 

(c) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes
evidencing such Loans and the corresponding obligations to participate in L/C Obligations) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their assignees in and
to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.14 and
Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any
related regulations (and any successor provisions). 
 (d) Standard of Evidence. The entries made in the Register and in
the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be conclusive (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided, that no error or omission in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their
terms and no Lender or Administrative Agent shall be liable for any such errors or omissions. In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in
the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Notes. Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender and substantially in the form of Exhibit
2.14(e); 

  
 48 

 
provided, that only one Note shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in
which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances. Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as
means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. 

Section 2.15 Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article II,
the following shall apply: 
 (a) Interest Rate Unascertainable or Inadequate. In the event that (A) the
Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (B) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent
that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders,
whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (b) Illegality. If any Lender determines that the
introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending
office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 (c) Effect of Suspension. If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended,
(A) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
(C) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (D) each Eurodollar Rate Loan
of such Lender shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a Base Rate Loan. 

Section 2.16 Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements. (a) Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall
compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent, for
any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender, a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (B) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled or optional prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of
Section 2.15) on a date that is not 

  
 49 

 
the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (C) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. For purposes of this
clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market. 
 (b) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or
compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining
any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so or
(iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, (other than, in each case, with respect to all taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) which shall
be governed by Section 2.17), then, upon demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost. 
 (c) Increased Capital Requirements. If at any time any
Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of
Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations owing to, or other
credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of
such Lender or L/C Issuer (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital
adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such reduction. 

(d) Compensation Certificate. Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a
certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such
Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Each payment to any Secured Party by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, deductions, assessments, withholdings or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority and all interest. additions to tax or penalties with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, the
“Taxes”) other than for (i) Taxes measured by net income (including branch profits taxes and other similar taxes) and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party by the United
States or as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection
arising solely from such recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations or received a payment under, received 

  
 50 

 
or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced, any Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Support Document), (ii) Taxes that are directly
attributable to the failure by any Secured Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (f) below, or (iii) in the case of a Secured Party making a Loan to the Borrower, any withholding tax
(including any backup withholding tax) that is imposed by the United States federal government (or a jurisdiction as a result of such Secured Party being organized or having its principal office or its applicable lending office in such jurisdiction
or as a result of such Secured Party engaging in a trade or business in such jurisdiction for tax purposes, other than a trade or business deemed to arise by virtue of entering into this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the transactions
contemplated under such documents) and is imposed pursuant to any Requirement of Law in effect at the time such Secured Party acquires the applicable interest in such Loan (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Secured
Party (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from a Secured Party with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.17(a) or
Section 2.17(d) (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). 
 (b) Gross-Up. If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted by any Secured Party or other applicable withholding agent from or in respect of any amount payable
under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased by the applicable Loan Party as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are made (including deductions
applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions,
(iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) if a Loan Party is the applicable withholding
agent, as soon as practicable after such payment is made, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. 

(c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay on behalf of the
Borrower, any present or future stamp, documentary, excise or property or similar Taxes imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from any
payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, registration of, or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein
(collectively, “Other Taxes”). As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.11,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
 (d) Indemnification. The Borrower shall
indemnify and hold harmless, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this Section 2.17(d), setting forth the amounts to be paid
thereunder, together with reasonable supporting documentation of the imposition of such Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, shall be delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agent, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In
determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If the Borrower reasonably believes that any such Indemnified Taxes

  
 51 

 
or Other Taxes have been incorrectly imposed, the Borrower may request that the relevant Secured Party contest such imposition by the relevant Governmental Authority at the Borrower’s
expense (so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Secured Party, result in any unreimbursed costs or expenses or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to it) and, if such Secured Party successfully contests such
imposition and receives a refund therefor, such Secured Party shall use such refund to reimburse the Borrower for the amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower to the extent provided by Section 2.17(g);
provided, that the Borrower shall not be relieved from its reimbursement and indemnification obligations under this Section 2.17(d) during any such contest. Any amounts payable under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid
within 10 business days after written demand is made by a Secured Party. 
 (e) Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if such a change would
reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed costs or expenses or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such
Lender. 
 (f) Tax Forms. Each Secured Party shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, provide Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law, or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Secured Party to an exemption
from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Secured Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating
that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Secured Party are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent
shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. 
 Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing: 
 (i) Each Secured Party that is a United States person (as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Secured Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 

(ii) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by law or upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (I) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any
successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 
 (II) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 
 (iii)(III) in the case of a Secured Party claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in

  
 52 

 
substantially the form of Exhibit 2.17(f) (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to
the effect that such Secured Party is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of 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 that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Secured Party’s conduct of a U.S. trade
or business and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms), 
 (iv)(IV) to the extent a Secured Party is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Secured Party is a partnership, or is a Secured Party that has granted a participation), Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Secured Party, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner,
as applicable (provided that, if the Secured Party is a partnership (and not a participating Secured Party) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate shall be
provided by such Secured Party on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)), or 
 (V) any other form prescribed by
applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
requirements of law to permit Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each
Secured Party shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Secured Party of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time, change in such Secured Party’s circumstances or change in applicable law renders such forms,
certificates or other evidence so delivered expired, invalid, obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or
additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Secured Party, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Secured Party’s status or that such Secured
Party is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (f), a Secured Party shall not be required to deliver any form that such Secured Party is not legally
eligible to deliver. 
 (g) [Reserved]. 
 (h) For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be treated as payments made by the applicable Loan Party. 

(i) Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Loan Documents” shall not include the Secured Hedging
Support Documents, the tax gross-up and tax indemnity obligations for which (if any) shall be addressed in such documents. 

Section 2.18 Substitution of Lenders. (a) Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender that is not an
Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital Requirements) of Section 2.16,
(ii) notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to
Section 2.17(b) or (d), (iv)

  
 53 

 
becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained but that
requires the consent of other Lenders, the Borrower may substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to
the Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”); provided that in the case of any such substitution resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 (b) or
(c) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 (b) or (d), such substitution is reasonably expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may obtain a Substitute Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Defaulting Lender at any time and without prior notice to such Defaulting Lender and cause its Loans and
Commitments to be sold and assigned at par. 
 (b) Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender, the Borrower shall
deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable, by the Substitute Lender) of
(i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (including those that will be owed because of
such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender in the Facility), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the Obligations owing to such Affected Lender in the Facility, payment of any amount that,
after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 (as if such date was the Termination Date), and (iii) (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth
in Section 11.2(c), and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and
assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender. 
 (c) Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in the Facility, such Affected Lender’s Commitments in the Facility shall be
terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution in the Facility, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan
Documents with respect to the Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall
become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment in the Facility in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment in the Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to
evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to the Facility; provided, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase
(or the corresponding assignment) invalid. 
 Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender,
the following provisions shall apply with respect to any obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit: 
 (i) the obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (a) no Default 

  
 54 

 
or Event of Default shall be continuing at the time of such reallocation, (b) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total obligations in respect of outstanding Loans and Letters of
Credit may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (c) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver
or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; 

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s
obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit cannot be so reallocated, by reason of the proviso in clause (i) above, the Borrower will, not later than five Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of
the L/C Issuer), Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the L/C Issuer in respect of such Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations
in respect thereof; and 
 (iii) any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under
this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest
bearing account until (subject to Section 2.19(d)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them
in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due
and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit participations funded by, and then due and payable to, the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to
them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay
amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

(b) Right to Give Drawdown Notices. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a
Defaulting Lender, the L/C Issuer is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.2 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse an outstanding L/C Reimbursement Obligation and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of outstanding Letters of
Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit. 
 (c) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to
the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.19(a)(iii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the

  
 55 

 
account of such Defaulting Lender that is a Lender under this Agreement (in each case whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such
termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

(d) Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is
a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which
may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.19(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or
make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause each Lender’s obligations in respect of outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their
respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 Section 2.20 Increase of Commitments. At any time prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right to increase the Commitments from time to time in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 upon one Business Day prior notice to the Administrative Agent and pursuant to procedures established by the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Borrower. The Borrower shall request such an increase
(each, an “Additional Commitment”) no more than two times during the term of this Agreement and each Additional Commitment shall be in a principal amount of at least $10,000,000. No Additional Commitment shall become effective
unless, as of the date of such increase, (i) the applicable conditions precedent in Section 3.2 have been met and (ii) the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the Financial Performance Covenants. Each bank or other
financial institution providing Additional Commitments shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and shall be a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement. No existing Lender shall have any obligation
to provide any such Additional Commitments unless and until it shall expressly agree under the applicable procedures to do so, at which time such Lender shall be deemed to have made an Additional Commitment. The Lenders agree that this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents may be amended from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to reflect such Additional Commitments in connection with this Section 2.20. 

ARTICLE III

and (b) preserve and maintain its rights (charter and statutory), privileges, franchises and Permits necessary or desirable in the conduct of its business, except in the case of this clause (b), where the failure to do so would not, in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

which, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

discharge before they become delinquent (a) all material claims, Taxes, assessments, charges and levies imposed by any Governmental Authority and (b) all other lawful claims that if unpaid would, by the operation of applicable Requirements

 69 

 
contested in good faith by proper proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves are maintained on the books of such Group Member in accordance with GAAP, (ii) perform all
obligations under any Contractual Obligation by which Parent or such Group Member or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to which it or any of its properties is subject, except where the failure to perform would not reasonably be expected to have,

with respect to the property and businesses of such Group Member (including, if applicable, policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’
compensation, business interruption and employee health and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the Borrower) of a nature and providing such coverage

(b) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect Flood Insurance with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the Borrower) and (c) cause all such

the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (a) above, except to the extent required by any Requirement of Law, Federal Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) real property not located in a special flood
hazard area, or (y) real property located in a special flood hazard area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. 
 Section 7.6 Keeping of Books. The Borrower shall cause each Group Member to keep proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries shall be made in accordance with
GAAP and all other applicable Requirements of Law of all financial transactions and the assets and business of such Group Member. 
 Section 7.7 Access to Books and Property. The Borrower shall cause each Group Member to permit the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any Related Person of the Administrative Agent or any

Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their Related Persons and to disclose to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their Related Persons all financial statements and other documents and information as they might

Laws (including by implementing any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such compliance or that is required by any Governmental Authority) except for failures to comply that would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if the Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Group Member or that there
exist any Environmental Liabilities, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, then the Borrower shall cause each Group Member to, promptly upon receipt of a request from
the Administrative Agent, cause the performance of, and allow the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons access to any property or facility which is the subject of such Event of Default or belief for the purpose of conducting, such
environmental audits and assessments, including sampling of soil, surface water, groundwater or other environmental media, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
Such audits, assessments and reports, to the extent not conducted by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons, shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower (and, to the extent distributed to them by the Borrower, each other Group Member) solely (i) for working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) to refinance
existing indebtedness; provided, that, no more than $50,000,000 may be borrowed on the Closing Date to repay the Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement and (iii) to make Permitted Investments (including Permitted Acquisitions)
and capital expenditures. No portion of the proceeds of any Loan shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Loan or application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Federal Reserve Board of
any other regulation thereof. 
 Section 7.10 Additional Collateral and Guaranties. To the extent not delivered to
the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date (including in respect of after-acquired property and Persons that become Subsidiaries of any Loan Party after the Closing Date), the Borrower shall cause each Group Member to promptly (and in

not as surety, the payment of the Obligations of the Borrower;

Permitted Acquisition and each Subsidiary thereof shall guaranty, as primary obligor and not as surety, the payment of the Obligations of the Borrower; and

the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in all of its owned property constituting Collateral as security for the Obligations of such Loan Party; 
 provided, that, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree, in no event shall (x) the Loan Parties, individually or collectively, be required to pledge in excess of 66%
of the outstanding Voting Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, or (y) a security interest be required to be granted in any property of any Foreign Subsidiary as security for any Obligation; 

(b) deliver to the Collateral Agent all documents representing all Stock, Stock Equivalents and other Securities pledged pursuant to the
documents delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, together with undated powers or endorsements duly executed in blank;

that such an appraisal is required pursuant to the terms of FIRREA), (y) within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Collateral Agent that any fee interest in real property of the Loan Parties is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area,
evidence, which may be in the form of a flood insurance certificate, of Federal Flood Insurance as required by Section 7.5, and (z) upon request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to it within 60 days of such request (or such
longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree to) a Mortgage on any owned real property with a value at the time of acquisition in excess of $2.0 million, located in the United States, and owned by any Loan Party, together with all Mortgage
Supporting Documents relating thereto; 
 (d) take all other actions necessary to ensure the validity or continuing validity of
any guaranty for any Obligation or any Lien securing any Obligation, to perfect, maintain, evidence or enforce any Lien securing any Obligation or to ensure such Liens have the same priority as that of the Liens on similar Collateral set forth in
the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date, including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Loan Documents or applicable Requirements of Law or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
may otherwise reasonably request; and 
 (e) deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender Parties
(i) an updated Perfection Certificate with respect to any new Guarantor, (ii) all documents set forth in

clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7.10 and the Mortgages described in clause (c) of this Section 7.10, which opinions shall be as reasonably required by, and in form and substance and
from counsel reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent. 
 The requirements of this Section 7.10: (i) need not be
satisfied with respect to any real property held by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as a lessee under a lease; (ii) do not apply to any Stock (other than Stock of any domestic Wholly Owned Subsidiary) acquired after the Closing Date in
accordance with this Agreement if, and to the extent that, and for so long as, (A) doing so would violate applicable law or a Contractual Obligation binding on such Stock, and (B) such law or Contractual Obligation existed at the time of
the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such Stock in contemplation of or in connection with the acquisition of such Subsidiary, (iii) do not apply to any assets acquired after the Closing Date, to the extent that, and
for so long as, taking such actions would violate a Contractual Obligation binding on such assets that existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such assets in contemplation or in connection with the
acquisition of such assets (except in the case of assets acquired with Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 8.1(c) that is secured by a Lien permitted pursuant to Section 8.2(d)); provided, that, in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii), upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall, and shall cause any applicable Subsidiary to, use commercially reasonable efforts to have waived or eliminated any such

 ARTICLE X 

THE AGENTS 

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each Lender Party hereby irrevocably appoints Royal Bank to act on its
behalf as the Administrative Agent and as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof
or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender Party hereby irrevocably appoints KeyBank National Association as Syndication Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender or Participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties The provisions of
this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lender Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article X with respect to any
acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the
term “Agent” as used in this Article X included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer. 

Section 10.2 Agents Individually. (a) Each Person serving as an Agent or Arranger hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender Party as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent or an Arranger and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent or an Arranger hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or
in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent or an Arranger hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lender Parties. 

  
 88 

 (b) Each Lender Party understands that each Person serving as an Agent or an Arranger, in
each case, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, such “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities
trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 10.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more
of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, each Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others
(including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or
holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender Party understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, each Agent’s Group
may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which
information may not be available to any of the Lender Parties that are not members of such Agent’s Group. No Agent or Arranger nor any member of such Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender Party or use on behalf of the
Lender Parties, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that each Agent shall deliver or otherwise make
available to each Lender Party such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by such Agent to the Lender Parties. 
 (c) Each Lender Party further understands that there may be situations where members of each Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now
have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lender Parties (including the interests of the Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender Party
agrees that no member of any Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of each Person serving as an Agent or an Arranger being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of such Agent’s
Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender Party. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by any Agent’s Group of information (including
Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter
shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by any Agent or Arranger or any member of such Agent’s Group to any Lender Party including any such duty that
would prevent or restrict such Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account. 
 Section 10.3 Duties of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) Each Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature
and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent in the case of the
Collateral Agent (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its 
 counsel, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

  
 89 

 (b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent in the case of the Collateral Agent (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.2 or 11.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or
order. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender Party shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default and
such event or events. 
 (c) No Agent or Arranger nor any member of such Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Disclosure Documents, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by any Loan Document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than (in the case of the Agent, but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 

(d) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require any Agent, Arranger or any of their respective Related Persons to
carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender Party and each Lender Party confirms to each Agent and each Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to
carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by such Agent, such Arranger or any of their respective Related Persons. 
 Section 10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender Party, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender Party unless an officer of
the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender Party prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a
Borrowing, such Lender Party shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender Party’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan
Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 Section 10.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any Affiliates, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by such Agent, and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel, both internal and external, and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Related Persons. Each such sub-agent and the Related Persons of such Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative
Agent,” “Collateral Agent” or such other “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 10.6 Notice of
Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article
IX; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as
it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 Section 10.7 Resignation of Agents. (a) The
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender Parties and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York City, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution with an office in New York City. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Party Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lender
Parties, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lender Parties, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any
time upon or after the end of the Lender Party Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lender Parties that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation. Upon
the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender Party directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph and all Collateral held by the Collateral Agent shall be surrendered to a Lender Party selected by
the Required Lenders. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

  

  
 91

shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lender Parties otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or
extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. 
 Section 10.8 Resignation of L/C Issuer.

business New York time on a date specified in such notice; provided that such resignation by the L/C Issuer will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower
or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to the L/C Issuer. 

Section 10.9 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lender Parties. (a) Each Lender Party confirms to each Agent, each
Arranger, each other Lender Party and each of their respective Related Persons that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Persons) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without

and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Persons, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with,
and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

 (i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Loan Party; 

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and
any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;

Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is Sold by a Loan Party in a Sale (other than a Sale to another Loan Party) permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or
consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 7.10 after giving effect to such Sale have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder to the extent such property
constitutes “Excluded Property” (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) termination of the Commitments and all Secured Hedging Support Documents,
(B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have been notified in writing are then due and payable and (C) deposit of

reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 10.10.

Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender Party so long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Agents and all other Secured Parties, that

(Right of Setoff), Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) and Section 11.20 (Confidentiality) and the decisions and actions of the Agents and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the
terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.12 only to the extent of
Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall be such Secured Party’s pro rata share
(based on the amount of Obligations owing to such Secured Party relative to the aggregate amount of all Obligations) of such liabilities, costs and expenses, and (b) except as set forth herein specifically for such Secured Party, (i) each
of the Agents and the Lender Parties shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the
benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation, and (ii) such Secured Party shall not have any right to be
notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document. The Borrower hereby authorizes each

 Section 10.14 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the
Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Secured Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim
that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Secured Party (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Secured Party failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Secured Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent
that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any Loan Party pursuant to Sections 2.16 and 2.17 and without increasing or limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly
or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Secured Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.14. The
agreements in this Section 10.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Secured Party, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 Section 10.15 Removal of Agents. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring
notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 11.1(c)) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent and appoint a replacement Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is appointed and (ii) the date 20 Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has been appointed)
and, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent shall be surrendered to a Lender Party selected by the Required Lenders. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 11.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document (other than the
Agency Fee Letter or the Fee Letter) and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (1) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to (A) cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or (B) grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property, by the Collateral Agent and the
Borrower and (2) in the case of any other amendment, waiver or consent by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower; provided, that no amendment, consent or waiver
described in clause (2) above shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender 

  
 95 

 
directly affected thereby (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of such Lender), in addition to any other Person the signature of which is otherwise required pursuant to any Loan
Document, be effective to do any of the following: 
 (i) waive any condition specified in
Section 3.1, except any condition referring to any other provision of any Loan Document; 
 (ii)
increase the Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligation; 
 (iii) reduce
(including through release, forgiveness, assignment or otherwise) (A) the principal amount of, the interest rate on, or any obligation of the Borrower to repay (whether or not on a fixed date), any outstanding Loan owing to such Lender,
(B) any fee or accrued interest payable to such Lender or (C) any L/C Reimbursement Obligation or any obligation of the Borrower to repay (whether or not on a fixed date) any L/C Reimbursement Obligation; provided, that this
clause (iii) does not apply to (x) any change to any provision increasing any interest rate or fee during the continuance of an Event of Default or to any payment of any such increase or (y) any modification to any financial
covenant set forth in Article V or in any definition set forth therein or principally used therein; 

(iv) extend, waive or postpone any scheduled maturity date or other scheduled date fixed for the payment, in whole or in
part, of principal of or interest on any Loan or fee owing to such Lender or for the reduction of such Lender’s Commitment or the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, that this
clause (iv) does not apply to the application of any payment, including as set forth in Section 2.12; 
 (v) waive or amend any provision of Section 2.12(c) (Application of Payments during an Event of Default) or Section 2.12(d) (Application of Payments Generally); 

(vi) except as provided in Section 10.10, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Guarantor
from its guaranty of any Obligation of the Borrower; 
 (vii) reduce or increase the proportion of Lenders
required for the Lenders (or any subset thereof) to take any action hereunder or change the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Pro Rata Share” or “Pro Rata Outstandings”; 

(viii) amend Section 10.10 (Release of Collateral or Guarantors) if the effect of such amendment is a release
described in clause (vi) above, Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) or this Section 11.1; 
 (ix)
waive any condition set forth in Section 3.2 as to any Borrowing , directly or indirectly (including by waiving any Default or Event of Default or amending or modifying Section 3.2 or Section 9.1 if the effect thereof is to permit
such Borrowing), without the written consent of the Required Lenders; or 
 (x) consent to the assignment by any
Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document. 
 (xi) and provided, further,
that (x) any change to the definition of the term “Required Lender” shall require the consent of all of the Lenders, (y) no amendment, waiver or 

  
 96 

 
consent shall affect the rights or duties under any Loan Document of, or any payment to, any Agent (or otherwise modify any provision of Article X or the application thereof), any L/C
Issuer or any SPV that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(f) unless in writing and signed by such Agent, such L/C Issuer or, as the case may be, such SPV in addition to any signature otherwise required and (z) the
consent of the Borrower shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.12. 
 (b) Each
waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon (or reduce the amount of any increased interest or fee payments as a consequence of any such Default or Event of Default). 
 (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in
respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lender or all of the Lenders, as
required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver that
would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such
Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender. 
 Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect . (a) Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Parent, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Agents and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and L/C Issuer that such Lender or L/C Issuer has
executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parent, the Borrower (in each case except for Article X), each Agent, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.12, each
other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of Parent, the Borrower, any L/C Issuer or any Agent (except to a successor Agent named pursuant to Section 10.7 or otherwise
to facilitate a transaction contemplated by such Section 10.7) shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein; provided, that each Secured Hedging Counterparty may assign its rights and
interests in, but not its obligations under, Secured Hedging Support Provisions. 
 (b) Right to Assign. 

(i) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, (iii) any Person that
is simultaneously 

  
 97 

 
purchasing all or substantially all of such Lender’s loan portfolio, or (iv) any other Person reasonably acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower; provided, that (w) no Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign any rights or obligations hereunder to any Permitted
Investor, Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any of the foregoing, except as permitted by clause (ii) below, (x) such Sales must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender, (y) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be an integral multiple of $2,500,000 and (z) the Borrower shall
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to respond to a request for consent to an Assignment within ten Business Days after having received notice of such Assignment (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, failure to respond to such request
shall be deemed to be consent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Sales by Defaulting Lenders shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances. 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assignments to any Permitted Investor, Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate or
Subsidiary of any Permitted Investor, Parent or the Borrower shall be permitted only so long as the acquired Loans and Commitments shall be immediately cancelled upon the effectiveness of the Assignment thereof. 

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause
(e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (which shall keep a copy thereof) an Assignment evidencing such Sale (including via an electronic settlement system if so designated by the Administrative
Agent), together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and payment by the assignee of an
assignment fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that (i) no assignment or other fee shall be payable in connection with an assignment by an existing Lender to another existing Lender or an Affiliate of such existing Lender, and
(ii) only one assignment fee shall be payable with respect to multiple, simultaneous assignments to an Approved Fund and its Affiliates. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and upon the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, as applicable, consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

 (d) Effectiveness. Effective upon the recording of an Assignment by the Administrative Agent in the Register,
(i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender,
(ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment,
relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances
occurring prior to such assignment and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that
(i) each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article X, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) to the extent provided in Section 10.11 (Additional Secured
Parties) and (ii) each Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and Section 2.17 (Taxes) hereto with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. 

  
 98 

 (e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this
Section 11.2, each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or
trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities, by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such holder, trustee or other Person, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon
(unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. 

(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may,
(x) with notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans
pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and Letters of
Credit); provided, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans
hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the
Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that
(A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and 2.17 (Taxes) (subject to the requirements and limitations of such
Sections), but only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation, unless the sale of the participation or grant to an SPV is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent
(not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and
set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce
any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or
consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations),
except for those described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 11.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case
of participants, except for those described in Section 11.1(a)(v) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral), for amendments that would increase
the amount of any participant’s participation over the amount then in effect and consents to any assignments or transfers described in Section 11.1(a)(x). No party hereto shall institute (and each of the Borrower and Parent shall
cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day
after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against,
such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such 

  
 99 

 
proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in
full of the Obligations. 
 Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by any Loan Party
under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any
Loan Party or Group Member therefor. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Agents, the Arrangers and their Related Persons for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and premiums in
connection with any title insurance or surveys, search, filing or recording fees) incurred in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of
any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic
audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one legal counsel (and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, or two in the case of a
conflict preventing the use of only one local counsel) to the Agents, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and their Related Persons, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with SyndtrakTM or any other E-System and allocated by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and
other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, (b) the Agents, the Arrangers and their Related Persons for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with internal audit

(c) the Arrangers, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their Related Persons for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature
of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct
of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to Parent or any Group Member, Loan Document or Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any
subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel).

BEHALF OF ANY GROUP MEMBER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING AND ANY CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-SYSTEMS OR OTHER ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS, (III) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE
INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING, WHETHER OR NOT BROUGHT BY ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PERSONS, ANY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES OR CREDITORS (AND INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES IN ANY CASE), WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE,
RELATED PERSON, HOLDER OR CREDITOR IS A PARTY THERETO, AND WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON ANY SECURITIES OR COMMERCIAL LAW OR REGULATION OR ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT OF LAW OR THEORY THEREOF, INCLUDING COMMON LAW, EQUITY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, OR (IV)
ANY OTHER ACT, EVENT OR TRANSACTION RELATED, CONTEMPLATED IN OR ATTENDANT TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED MATTERS”); PROVIDED, THAT THE BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER THIS SECTION 11.4 TO AN INDEMNITEE

PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNITEE. FURTHERMORE, EACH OF PARENT AND THE BORROWER WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT AGAINST
ANY INDEMNITEE, AND SHALL CAUSE EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY TO WAIVE AND NOT ASSERT AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, ANY RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY RELATED PERSON. 

(b) WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, “INDEMNIFIED MATTERS” INCLUDES ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, INCLUDING
THOSE ARISING FROM, OR OTHERWISE INVOLVING, ANY PROPERTY OF ANY GROUP MEMBER OR ANY ACTUAL, ALLEGED OR PROSPECTIVE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR NATURAL RESOURCES OR HARM OR INJURY ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM ANY RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON, UPON OR

FOLLOWING FORECLOSURE BY ANY SECURED PARTY OR FOLLOWING ANY SECURED PARTY HAVING BECOME THE SUCCESSOR-IN-INTEREST TO ANY LOAN PARTY AND (II) ARE ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO ACTS OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 

Section 11.5 Survival. Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document or
the provisions of Section 2.17 (Taxes), Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs;  

  
 101

 
Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), Article X (The Agents), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities), this
Section 11.5, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff), and Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Commitments
and the payment in full of other Obligations and (B) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns. 

Section 11.6 Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY INDEMNITEE BE LIABLE ON ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS). EACH OF PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES (AND SHALL CAUSE EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY TO
WAIVE, RELEASE AND AGREE) NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR. 

Section 11.7 Lender-Creditor Relationship; No Fiduciary Duty. The relationship between the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Agents, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor. Each of the Secured Parties may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates. The
Borrower agrees that no Secured Party has any fiduciary or advisory relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan
Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Secured Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the
Borrower, in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto. 
 Section 11.8 Right
of Setoff. Each Agent, Lender and L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by Parent and the Borrower), at any time and
from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Parent or the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now
or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. Each Agent, Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this
Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Agents, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may
have. 
 Section 11.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office
thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of
Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), 2.17 (Taxes) and 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender
would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such
participations in their 

  
 102

 
Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the Administrative Agent and
applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, that (a) the provisions of this
Section 11.9 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant or any payment made as a consent fee for an amendment or waiver to the extent such fee is paid only to consenting Lenders, (b) if such
payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (c) such Lender
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. If a Defaulting Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to the Administrative Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash
collateral requirements set forth in Sections 2.4 and 9.4. 
 Section 11.10 Marshaling; Payments Set
Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower,
from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full
force and effect as if such payment had not occurred. 
 Section 11.11 Notices. (a) Addresses. All
notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing, or by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic mail), and addressed to the party

 (F) If to any other Lender Party, to it at its address (or telecopier number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire, or (G) at such other address as shall be notified in writing (x) in
the case of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent, (y) in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the other parties hereto and (z) in the case of all other parties, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Effectiveness. All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in clause (a) shall be
effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iii) if delivered by posting

  
 104

 
to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device
(to the extent permitted by Section 11.12 to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or
similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration,
disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic
Platform and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as provided in clause (a); provided, however, that
notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II or Article X shall not be effective until received in writing by the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (a) and (b) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Loan Parties shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved
Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to CHANDRAN.PANICKER@RBCCM.COM or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative
Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Loan Party in any manner authorized in this Agreement
or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner. 
 Section 11.12 Posting of Approved Electronic
Communications. (a) Each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lender Parties by posting such Approved
Electronic Communications on SyndtrakTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and
policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a
single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an
electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration
provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and
understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 
 (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF SUCH AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR
THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED 

  
 105

 
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS
AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

(c) Each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable
law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 

Section 11.13 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lender Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Persons or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio
information, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal or judicial process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any litigation or proceeding to which any Agent, any Lender Party or any of their
respective Affiliates may be a party, (f) subject to an agreement no less restrictive than this Section 11.13, 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, (ii) to current or prospective grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(f), direct or indirect counterparties to any Secured Hedging Document or any Hedging Agreement permitted hereunder and
to their respective Related Persons, (iii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives), surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit
liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection with any swap, derivative or other similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations or to the Borrower and its obligations or to this Agreement or
payments hereunder, (iv) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder, or secured party in a Securitization in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such
Securitization, (v) to any rating agency when required by it or (vi) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.13 or 

  
 106

 
(ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or (i) to the extent
necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by any Agent, Lender, the L/C
Issuer or any of their Related Persons). For purposes of this Section 11.13, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, such information has been or is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has (i) exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information or (ii) treated such Information in accordance with such Person’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature. In addition, each
Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in
connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with customary market practice. 
 Section 11.14 Treatment of Information. 
 (a) Certain of the Lenders
may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties (“Restricting
Information”). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Neither any Agent nor any of its
Related Persons shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender Party, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender Party or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any
statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall any Agent or any of its Related Persons be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender
Party may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, no Agent nor any of its Related Persons (i) shall have, and each Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Related Persons, hereby disclaims, any
duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender Party has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Lender Party’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such
Lender Party’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party or Lender Party or any of their respective Related Persons arising out of or relating to any Agent or any of its
Related Persons providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender Party. 
 (b) Each Loan Party agrees that
(i) all Communications it provides to any Agent intended for delivery to the Lender Parties whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications
do not contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to
have authorized the Agents and the Lender Parties to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such Communications may contain sensitive business information and,
therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of Section 11.13) with respect to such Loan Party for purposes of United States Federal and state securities 

  
 107

 
laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Lender Parties and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated
“Public Side Information,” and (iv) the Agents shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic
Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” No Agent nor any of their Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material
non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties nor shall any Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any other Person for any action taken by such Agent or any of its Affiliates based
upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender Party that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 11.14 shall modify
or limit a Lender Party’s obligations under Section 11.13 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information. 

(c) Each Lender Party acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting
Information. Accordingly, each Lender Party agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact
information) on such Lender Party’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender Party agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender Party’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of
Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission. 
 (d) Each Lender Party acknowledges that Communications
delivered hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all Lender Parties generally. Each Lender Party that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does
so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Agents and other Lender Parties may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender Party. No Agent nor any Lender Party with access to
Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender Party or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender Party, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose
or use, such Restricting Information. 
 (e) The provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 11.14 are
designed to assist the Agents, the Lender Parties and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lender Parties express a desire not to receive Restricting
Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lender Parties hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. No Agent nor any of its Related
Persons warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does any Agent or any of its Related Persons warrant or make any other statement to the effect that a Loan Party’s or
Lender Party’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender Party with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the
Lender Parties and each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith. 
 Section 11.15 Governing Law. This
Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its applicable law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State
of New York. 
 Section 11.16 Jurisdiction. (a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or
proceeding with respect to any Loan Document shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the 

  
 108

 
Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts of any
other jurisdiction to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth
in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of
any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions. 
 (b) Service of Process. Each of Parent and Borrower (and, to the
extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service
in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof
(by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of Borrower specified in Section 11.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein). Each of Parent and Borrower (and, to the extent
set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) 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.

 (c) Additional Service of Process. Nothing contained in this Section 11.16 shall affect the right of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or the L/C Issuer to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Loan Party in any other
jurisdiction. 
 Section 11.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM) WITH RESPECT TO, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN OR RELATED THERETO (WHETHER FOUNDED IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO RELATED PERSON OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.17. 

Section 11.18 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 11.19 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

  
 109

OF THE PARTIES AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND ANY PRIOR LETTER OF INTEREST, COMMITMENT LETTER, FEE LETTER, AGENCY FEE LETTER, CONFIDENTIALITY AND SIMILAR AGREEMENTS INVOLVING ANY LOAN
PARTY AND ANY OF THE AGENTS, ANY LENDER OR ANY L/C ISSUER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES RELATING TO A FINANCING OF SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM, PURPOSE OR EFFECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN (UNLESS SUCH TERMS OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH TERMS SHALL GOVERN TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY THEREWITH).

 Section 11.21 Use of Name. Each of Parent and Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan Party to agree,
that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party) using the name,
logo or otherwise referring to any Agent, Arranger, Syndication Agent or of any of their respective Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least 2 Business Days’
prior notice to such Agent, Syndication Agent or Arranger, and without the prior consent of such Agent, Syndication Agent or Arranger except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with
such Agent, Syndication Agent or Arranger prior thereto. 
 Section 11.22 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender subject to
the Patriot Act hereby notifies Parent, the Borrower and each Loan Party that, pursuant to Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Person, including the name and address of such Person
and other information allowing such Lender to identify such Person in accordance with such act. 
 Section 11.23
Borrower Ratification of Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby consents to the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement effected hereby and confirms and agrees that (a) notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement,
the Guaranty and Security Agreement and Trademark Security Agreement are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and (b) the security documents to which the Borrower is a party
and all of the Collateral described therein do, and shall continue to, secure the payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement). For greater certainty and without limiting the foregoing, the

this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

through deferrals of salary, bonus, performance share awards, Company contributions of certain amounts which cannot be made to the Company 401 (k) Plan due to Internal Revenue Code limitations, amounts payable under any Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (“SERP”) Agreements to which a participant in this Plan is a party and certain Company discretionary contributions; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company subsequently amended, and then amended and restated the Plan effective January 1, 2009, to allow participants to defer the receipt of certain benefits in order to provide a
regular stream of income during retirement in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make certain other changes deemed necessary or appropriate, including prohibiting the deferral of
performance shares; 
 WHEREAS, the Company subsequently amended the Plan via the First and Second Amendments, and desired to amend and restate
the Plan to incorporate such amendments and to clarify certain provisions of the Plan.

 PARTICIPATION

 ARTICLE III 
 DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 
  

	3.1	Amount of Deferrals. 

 The amount
specified by any Deferral Election applicable to a Participant’s Base Salary and/or Bonus shall be stated as a percentage that shall not exceed 100% of the sum of Base Salary and Bonus of the Participant. The Committee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may limit the total amount deferred by a Participant in order to satisfy Social Security tax (including Medicare), income tax and employee benefit plan withholding requirements. The minimum contribution that may be made in any Plan Year
by an Eligible Employee is $2,500, provided that such minimum contribution can be satisfied from Base Salary and/or Bonus. 
  

	3.2	Procedure for Elections. 

 Subject to any
modifications, additions or exceptions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate, the following terms shall apply to any Deferral Election: 

(a) Timing of Election. 
 (i) Initial Deferral Election. 
 (A) Base Salary. An
Eligible Employee who wishes to defer the receipt of all or a portion of his Base Salary must submit a Deferral Election to the Committee before December 15 of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year to which the Deferral Election
applies. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, an Eligible Employee may elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion of his Base Salary by submitting a Deferral Election to the Committee within 30 days of the date on which he first becomes
eligible to participate in the Plan. Each Deferral Election shall only be effective with respect to Compensation earned after the date of its submission to the Committee. If an Eligible Employee fails to submit a Deferral Election in a timely
manner, he shall be deemed by the Committee to have elected not to defer any portion of his Base Salary under the Plan for the applicable Plan Year. 
 (B) Bonus. An Eligible Employee who wishes to defer the receipt of any portion of a Bonus that is contingent upon his attainment of written performance criteria applicable to a performance period
of at least 12 consecutive months must submit a Deferral Election to the Committee on a date established by the Committee that occurs no less than six months before the close of the performance period applicable to such Bonus; provided, however,
that (1) on the date of such Deferral Election, the Eligible Employee is employed by the Company and has been continuously employed by the Company since the later of (x) the beginning of such performance period or (y) the date that
the performance criteria applicable to such Bonus are established in writing (which shall 

  
 7 

 
occur within 90 days of the beginning of such performance period), and (2) in no event shall any such Deferral Election be made after the time when the Eligible Employee’s entitlement
to the Bonus is readily ascertainable. 
 (C) Matching Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may, in its discretion, direct that Matching Contributions shall be credited to Participant’s Account without regard to the status of his Deferral Election. 

(ii) Subsequent Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee who had not elected to participate in the Plan at the time
when he was initially eligible to do so may make a subsequent Deferral Election with respect to his Compensation for a subsequent Plan Year. Such Deferral Election must be made on or before December 15 of the Plan Year immediately preceding the
Plan Year for which he desires to participate and shall apply only to Compensation in respect of services performed in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Deferral Election is made. 

(b) Term. Each Participant’s Deferral Election shall remain in effect for Compensation paid during the current
and all future Plan Years until the earliest of (i) the date the Participant separates from service, (ii) the first day of the next succeeding Plan Year following the date the Participant revokes such Deferral Election or makes a
subsequent Deferral Election but only with respect to Compensation for services performed in the future Plan Years or (iii) the first day of the next succeeding Plan Year after which the Committee determines that such Participant’s
Deferral Contributions shall cease. The deferral of a DB SERP amount shall be separate from and independent of any other Deferral Election under this Plan as to time and form of payment. 

(c) DB SERP Deferral. An Eligible Employee who becomes entitled to a Company DB SERP Contribution Amount shall be
deemed to have deferred 100% of such amount under the terms of this Plan. 
 (d) Cessation and Recommencement
of Deferral Elections. A Participant who has previously terminated a Deferral Election may only elect to recommence the deferral of his Compensation under this Plan, by filing a new Deferral Election with respect to the deferral of Compensation
during the next Plan Year. Such Deferral Election must be made on a form provided by the Committee and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of Section 3.1. 

 

	3.3	Investment Elections. 

 (a) At the time a Participant makes a Deferral Election, the Participant shall designate the types of Funds the Participant’s Account will be deemed to be invested in for purposes of determining the
amount of Interest to be credited to that Account. In making the designation pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Participant may specify that all or any multiple of his Account in whole percentage increments (equal to or greater than 1%)

  
 8 

 
be deemed to be invested in one or more of the types of Funds provided under the Plan as communicated from time to time by the Committee. A Participant may change the designation made under this
Section 3.3 effective as of the next following business day, by following the procedures set forth by the Committee; provided, however, that the portion of Participant’s Account that is subject to such change shall be at least $250. If a
Participant fails to designate a type of fund under this Section 3.3, his Account shall be invested in a fund designated by the Committee. 
 (b) Although the Participant may designate the type of investments, the Committee shall not be bound by such designation. The Committee, from time to time, in its sole discretion, may designate
commercially available investments of each of the types communicated by the Committee to the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above to be the Funds. The interest rate of each such commercially available Fund shall be used to determine the
amount of earnings or losses to be credited to Participant’s Account under Article IV. 
  

	3.4	Forms and Procedures. 

 The Administrative
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the forms and procedures regulating all Deferral Elections. 

  
 9 

 ARTICLE IV 
 DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS AND TRUST FUNDING 
  

	4.1	Deferral Accounts. 

 The Committee shall
establish and maintain a Deferral Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Deferral Account shall be further divided into separate Investment Fund Subaccounts, each of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the
Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a). A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited as follows: 

(a) As of each payroll date during each Plan Year, the Committee shall credit the Investment Fund Subaccounts of the
Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Compensation deferred by the Participant during such pay period in accordance with the Participant’s designation under Section 3.3(a); that is, the portion of the
Participant’s deferred Compensation that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of Fund shall be credited to the Investment Fund Subaccount corresponding to that Fund; 

(b) As of each payroll date during each Plan Year, each Investment Fund Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral
Account shall be credited with Interest in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Fund Subaccount immediately following the preceding payroll date by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund
selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3(b); and 
 (c) In the event that a Participant elects for a
given Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation to have a Future Date Withdrawal, all amounts attributed to the deferral of Compensation for such Plan Year shall be accounted for in a manner which allows separate accounting for the deferral of
Compensation and investment gains and loses associated with such Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation. 
  

	4.2	Company Discretionary Contribution Account. 

 The Committee shall establish and maintain a Company Contribution Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be further divided into separate
Investment Fund Subaccounts corresponding to the Fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a). A Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited as follows: 

(a) As of each payroll date during each Plan Year, the Committee shall credit the Investment Fund Subaccounts of the
Participant’s Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Matching Contribution Amount, if any, applicable to that Participant in accordance with the designation made by such Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a); 

(b) As of each payroll date during which a Company Discretionary Contribution Amount, if any, is made, the Committee shall
credit the Investment Fund Subaccounts of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to 

  
 10 

 
the Company Discretionary Contribution Amount applicable to that Participant in accordance with the designation made by such Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a); 

(c) Effective as of the earlier of (i) the date of a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or
(ii) the Liquidation Date designated by the Committee in accordance with Section 6.1(e), the Committee shall credit to the Participant’s Company Contribution Account an amount equal to the actuarial present value of the Company DB
SERP Contribution Amount to which such Participant would have been entitled under the terms of the supplemental employee retirement plan agreement in effect between the Company and the Participant as of September 29, 2010, if the Participant
had terminated employment on September 30, 2010 (the “SERP Termination Date”), and shall allocate such credited amount among the Investment Subaccounts in accordance with the designation made by such Participant pursuant to
Section 3.3(a); provided that, for purposes of this Section 4.2(c), “actuarial present value” shall be determined in accordance with the then-applicable interest rate and mortality table (x) in effect under the Pension Plan
or (y) if the Pension Plan is no longer in existence, last in effect under the Pension Plan; and 
 (d) Each
Investment Fund Subaccount of a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited on a daily basis with Interest in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Fund Subaccount as of the
last day of the preceding month plus contributions during the current month commencing on the date such contributions are credited to the Investment Fund Subaccount by the interest rate for the Corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to
Section 3.3(b). 
  

	4.3	Trust Funding. 

 The Company has created
a Trust with respect to which Fidelity Management Trust Company serves as Trustee. The Company may contribute to the Trust an amount equal to the amount deferred by each Participant for the Plan Year. The Company may also contribute such additional
amounts as it shall deem necessary or appropriate. 
 Although the principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and
apart from other funds of Company and, except as provided below, shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries as set forth therein, neither the Participants nor their Beneficiaries shall have any
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership in, any assets of the Trust prior to the time such assets are paid to the Participants or Beneficiaries as benefits and all rights created under this Plan shall be unsecured contractual rights of Plan
Participants and Beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held in the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of insolvency defined in the Trust. 

Except as provided above, assets of the Plan and Trust shall never inure to the benefit of the Company and the same shall be held for the exclusive
purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and deferring reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and Trust. 

  
 11 

 ARTICLE V 
 VESTING 
 A Participant’s Deferral Account and the Company DB SERP Contribution
allocated to a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be 100% vested at all times. The Matching Contributions and Company DC Restoration Amounts allocated to a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be vested in
accordance with the vesting schedule contained in the Company’s 401(k) Plan without regard to prior service credits. The Company shall determine the vesting schedule for Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts at the time each such
contribution is made by the Company. 

  
 12 

 ARTICLE VI 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
  

	6.1	Distribution of Deferred Compensation and Discretionary Company Contributions. 

(a) Distribution Without Future Date Withdrawal. 

(i) Except as provided in Section 6.1(a)(iv) below, if a Participant terminates employment with the Company due to
Retirement, the Distributable Amount (other than amounts attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions or Company DC Restoration Amount) shall be paid to the Participant in the form of benefit elected by the Participant at the time of his initial
Deferral Election, in accordance with procedures established by Company, from among the following: 
 (A) A lump
sum distribution on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (B) Substantially equal quarterly installments over
five years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (C) Substantially equal quarterly installments
over ten years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (D) Substantially equal quarterly
installments over 20 years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 The amount of each installment payment shall be
calculated by multiplying the Account Balance on the date of such installment by a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of the remaining installments including the current installment. 

A Participant may modify the form of benefit that he or she has previously elected, pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(i); provided,
however, that (A) such modification occurs at least one year before the date the amount would otherwise be distributable, (B) the modification may not accelerate the time of payment, and (C) the delayed distributions shall not be made
until at least five years following the date on which the distribution would have been made absent the modification. 
 (ii) Except as provided in Section 6.1(a)(iv) below, the portion of such Distributable Amount that is attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions (“the DB SERP Distributable Amount”)
shall be distributed in 20 substantially equal quarterly installments, beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. The amount of each installment payment shall be calculated by multiplying the Account Balance on the date of such installment by
a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of the remaining installments including the current installment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DB SERP Distributable Amount of a Participant who terminates
employment for 

  
 13 

 
any reason other than Retirement shall be paid to him (or, in the case of his death, to his Beneficiary) in a lump sum on his Payment Date. 

(iii) In the case of a Participant who terminates employment for any reason other than Retirement, the Distributable
Amount (other than amounts attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions) shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (iv) In the case of a Participant who terminates employment with the Company for any reason and has an Account balance of $50,000 or less, the Distributable Amount (including amounts attributable to
Company DB SERP Contributions) shall be paid in a lump sum distribution on the Participant’s Payment Date. 

(b) Distribution With Future Date Withdrawal. If a Participant elects a Future Date Withdrawal for a given Plan
Year’s contributions and the Future Date Withdrawal could occur while the Participant is still in the employ of the Company, such Participant shall receive his Distributable Amount in accordance with such election; provided, however, that, the
Distributable Amount shall consist solely of the deferrals of Compensation, vested Matching Contributions and vested Company Discretionary Contributions and related earnings that were designated by the Participant (in accordance with
Section 1.2(t)) as the subject of such Future Date Withdrawal. A Participant’s Future Date Withdrawal with respect to amounts of Compensation, Matching Contributions and Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts deferred in a given Plan
Year shall be no earlier than two years from the last day of such Plan Year. A Participant may extend the Future Date Withdrawal for contributions in any Plan Year, provided such extension occurs at least one year before the then-applicable Future
Date Withdrawal for such contributions and is for a period of not less than five years from such date. The Participant shall have the right to twice modify any Future Date Withdrawal. In the event that a Participant terminates employment with the
Company prior to a scheduled Future Date Withdrawal for any reason other than death, the portion of the Participant’s Account associated with such Future Date Withdrawal which has not occurred prior to such termination shall be distributed in a
lump sum on his Payment Date. 
 (c) Death Prior to Benefit Commencement. If a Participant dies while he
is employed by the Company and prior to the commencement of any distributions under this Plan, his Beneficiary shall receive a lump-sum payment equal to the amount of the Participant’s vested Account Balance. Such lump-sum payment shall be made
on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (d) Death After Benefit Commencement. If a Participant dies
after his termination of employment with the Company and, as of the date of his death, the Participant’s vested Account Balance has not been fully distributed, the remaining amount of Participant’s vested Account Balance shall continue to
be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary, in accordance with the applicable of the provisions of Section 6.1(a)(i)(B), (C) or (D). 

  
 14 

 (e) Termination and Distribution of the Company DB SERP Account.

 (i) No Company DB SERP Contributions attributable to services rendered by or compensation payable to a
Participant after the SERP Termination Date shall be credited to a Participant’s Company DB SERP Contribution Account. 
 (ii) In accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C) of the Treasury Regulations with respect to the termination and liquidation of a deferred compensation plan, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall designate a date (the ‘Liquidation Date’) between twelve and twenty-four months following the SERP Termination Date for the distribution of all Participants’ Company DB SERP Contribution
Account. 
 (iii) A Participant shall receive a single lump-sum payment on the Liquidation Date in an amount
equal to the balance, if any, of his or her Company DB SERP Contribution Account, determined as of the Liquidation Date. 
 (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of a Participant’s Deferral Election shall remain in effect with respect to (i) any amounts that would otherwise be distributed prior to the
Liquidation Date, and (ii) any Company DB SERP Contribution Accounts that are eligible for grandfathered status in accordance with Section 409A 
 (f) Distribution of Company DC Restoration Amounts; Default Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) the Company DC Restoration Amount and (ii) any other amount
for which a payment election is not made by a Participant or for which the timing of a distribution is not expressly provided elsewhere herein shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the Participant’s Payment Date. 

 

	6.2	Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution. 

 A
Participant may apply to the Committee for the distribution of some or all of his Account due to the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee shall have the sole authority and discretion to determine the amount of any distribution
that is made on account of such Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of any such distribution shall not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Participant’s needs as a result of the Unforeseeable Emergency; provided, however, that
the amount of such distribution 
 (a) may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local or foreign
income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution; 
 (b) must exclude any amounts
that may otherwise be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by
cessation of deferrals under this Plan; and 

  
 15 

 (c) may exclude any additional but unpaid compensation to which Participant
may be entitled under the terms of another nonqualified deferred compensation plan as a result of the Unforeseeable Emergency. 
 The Committee
shall cancel Participant’s Deferral Election prior to the distribution of any portion of Participant’s account payable under this Schedule 6.2. The payment of any Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution shall occur on the 15th business day
following the Committee’s approval of such distribution and shall take the form of a single lump-sum payment. 
  

	6.3	Forfeiture of Unvested Amounts. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, upon the termination of Participant’s employment for any reason, the unvested portion of
the Matching Contribution Amount that has been credited to his Account shall be forfeited and, to the extent that such Amounts have been funded through contributions to the Trust Fund, shall be credited and restored to the Company. 

 

	6.4	Inability to Locate Participant. 

 In the
event that the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required Payment Date, the amount allocated to the Participant’s Deferral Account shall be forfeited and, to the extent that such Amounts
have been funded through contributions to the Trust Fund, shall be credited and restored to the Company. 
  

	6.5	Installment Payments Deemed to be Separate Payments. 

 Each installment payment in a series of installments shall be deemed to be a separate and independent distribution for purposes of this Agreement. 

 

	6.6	Earnings. 

 Except as otherwise provided
in Section 6.4, the Participant’s Account shall continue to be credited with earnings pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Plan until all amounts credited to Account under the Plan have been distributed.

	7.8	Claims and Review Procedures. 

 (a) Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is entitled to any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
(“CEO”). If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the CEO will notify such person of his decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan
provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken
if the person wishes to submit a request for review, the time limits applicable to such procedures, and a statement of the person’s rights following an adverse benefit determination on review, including a statement of his right to file a
lawsuit under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) if the claim is denied on appeal. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the CEO (or within 180 days, if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). 

(b) Claim Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a notice of denial, such
person or his duly authorized representative (“Applicant”) may (i) file a written request with the CEO for a review of his denied claim; (ii) review pertinent documents; and (iii) submit issues and comments in writing. The
Applicant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits under this Plan. The Applicant may request a formal hearing before the CEO, which the CEO may grant in his discretion. The CEO shall
notify the Applicant of his decision with regard to Applicant’s claim not later than 60 days of the receipt of Applicant’s request; provided, however, that CEO may determine that an extension of up to 60 days from the termination date of
the initial 60-day review period is required and shall advise the Applicant in writing of the special circumstances requiring any such extension and the date by which the expects to render a decision. Such special circumstances that require an
extension of time for rendering a decision include, but are not limited to, the need to hold a hearing. The decision on review shall be in written or electronic notice of the final determination. If the claim is denied in whole or part, such notice,
which shall be in a manner calculated to be understood by the person receiving such notice, shall include (A) the specific reasons for the decision, (B) the specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is
based, (C) that the Applicant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, and (D) a statement of the
Applicant’s right to file a lawsuit under ERISA. 
 Benefits under this Plan will only be paid if the CEO decides, in his
discretion, that an Applicant is entitled to them. The decision of the CEO on review of the claim denial shall be binding on all parties when the Participant has exhausted the claims procedure under this Section 7.8. Moreover, no action at law
or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under this Plan prior to the date the Applicant has exhausted the administrative remedies under this Section 7.8. 

  
 19 

 (c) In the event that the CEO makes a claim on his own behalf, the Board
shall perform the functions otherwise performed by the CEO pursuant to Sections 7.8(a) and 7.8(b).

 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	8.1	Unsecured General Creditor. 

 Participants
and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Company. No assets of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the
fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely
unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors. It is the intention of the Company that this Plan be
unfunded for purposes of the Code and for purposes of Title 1 of ERISA. 
  

	8.2	Restriction Against Assignment. 

 The
Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any
Participant, his Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to
alienate, anticipate, sell, transfer, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, commute, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Committee, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for
the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Committee shall direct. 
  

	8.3	Withholding. 

 There shall be deducted
from each payment made under the Plan or any other Compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company in respect to such payment or this Plan. The Company shall have the right to
reduce any payment (or compensation) by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes. 
  

	8.4	Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. 

 The Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any
amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts. In the event that this Plan is terminated, the amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts shall be distributed to the Participant or, in the event of his death, his Beneficiary in a lump
sum on the fifteenth business day following the date of termination. 

  
 21 

	8.5	Governing Law. 

 This Plan shall be
construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  

	8.6	Receipt or Release. 

 Any payment to a
Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims under the Plan against the Committee and the Company. The Committee may require such
Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect; provided, however, that the terms and conditions applicable to such release shall not cause this Plan or the payment of any
amounts under this Plan to fail to comply with Section 409A. 
  

	8.7	Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity. 

 In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid
receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Committee, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full
release and discharge of the Committee and the Company. 
  

	8.8	Limitation of Rights and Employment Relationship. 

 Neither the establishment of the Plan and Trust nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant or
other person any legal or equitable right against the Company or the trustee of the Trust except as provided in the Plan and Trust; and in no event shall the terms of employment of any Employee or Participant be modified or in any way be affected by
the provisions of the Plan and Trust. 
  

	8.9	Headings. 

 Headings and subheadings in
this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. 
  

	8.10	Section 409A. 

 The following
provisions shall apply to this Plan, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary: 
 (a) This Plan is intended
to comply with Section 409A of the Code and ambiguous provisions, if any, shall be construed in a manner that is compliant with or exempt from the application of Section 409A. 

(b) This Plan shall not be amended or terminated in a manner that would cause the Plan or any amounts payable under the
Plan to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and, further, the provisions of any 

  
 22 

 
purported amendment that may reasonably be expected to result in such non-compliance shall be of no force or effect with respect to the Agreement. 

(c) The Plan shall neither cause nor permit any payment, benefit or consideration to be substituted for a benefit that is
payable under this Plan if such action would result in the failure of any amount that is subject to Section 409A to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date
of the termination of Participant’s employment, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Agreement upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A which are subject to the
provisions of Section 409A and are not otherwise excluded under Section 409A and would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service shall be paid on the first business day next following the
earlier of (i) the date that is six months and one day following the date of the termination of Participant’s employment or (ii) the date of Participant’s death. 

(e) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment under this Plan shall be deemed to be a separate payment. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this document to be executed by its duly authorized officer on this 29th day of July, 2011.
