			Mr. Joseph Nauman
		

		
			 
		

		
			Dear Joe,
		

		
			This letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) confirms our understanding of your role going forward with Acushnet Holdings Corp. (“Holdings”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and the payments and benefits that may be payable to you when your service with the Company ends.
		

		
			The terms of your continued service with the Company following the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) are summarized below:
		

		
			1.    Employment Position; Term:  You and the Company mutually agree that your employment with the Company will end on December 31, 2017 (the “End Date”), or such earlier date pursuant to Section 8 (such actual period of employment, the “Employment Term”).  During the Employment Term, you shall continue to serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Administrative Officer (collectively, your “Title”) and, except as provided in this Letter Agreement, you will continue to receive and maintain the same salary, office, support staff and other benefits of employment as are currently in effect (the “Benefits”).  The Company may appoint a new General Counsel at any time during the Employment Term; provided that such appointment shall have no effect on your Title or Benefits.
		

		
			During the Employment Term, you agree to render services to the Company on a full- time basis and to devote your full business time and energy to the performance of your duties and the business and affairs of the Company and any affiliate of the Company.
		

		
			2.    Senior Advisor:  Subject to your continued employment with the Company through the End Date, on January 1, 2018 you shall become an independent contractor and serve as senior advisor to the Company (“Senior Advisor”).  To the extent your employment with the Company ends prior to the End Date, no services as Senior Advisor will be provided. Your period of service as Senior Advisor (if any) shall end on March 15, 2019 (the “Consulting End Date”), or such earlier date pursuant to Section 10 (such actual period of service, the “Consulting Term”).
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			As Senior Advisor, you will be expected to provide services to the Company, including IP enforcement support, assistance in maintaining regulatory relationships and such other services as mutually agreed between you and the Company from time to time (collectively, the “Mutually Agreed Upon Services”).  You agree to render the Mutually Agreed Upon Services as an independent contractor on an “as requested” basis and to devote sufficient business time and energy to the performance of the Mutually Agreed Upon Services as may be necessary to fulfill your obligations to the Company; provided that you and the Company acknowledge and agree that, in performing the Mutually Agreed Upon Services, you shall only take direction from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or the Chief Executive Officer’s designee), and that such Mutually Agreed Upon Services will represent no more than 15% of the average level of services that you performed for the Company during the 36 month period preceding the Consulting Term.  For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not be entitled to any compensation or benefits in respect of your service as Senior Advisor other than the Equity Treatment (as defined below).
		

		
			3.    Corporate Secretary; Board Service: You and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Company (i) appointed a new Corporate Secretary to replace you in that role on or about March 24, 2017; and (ii) will immediately commence actions to replace you on the boards of directors and/or committees of the subsidiaries of Holdings, including, without limitation, Acushnet Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cessation of your employment for any reason, shall, with no further action by you or the Company, constitute your resignation, as of such date, from all positions as an officer, director, or representative of Holdings and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.
		

		
			4.    Base Compensation: During the Employment Term, you will receive monthly base salary compensation of $40,750 (the “Base Compensation”), which shall be pro-rated for any partial months.
		

		
			5.    Bonus:  Except as provided in Section 9 below, no cash bonus or other incentive compensation will be payable with respect to calendar year 2017.
		

		
			6.    Employee Benefits: During the Employment Term, you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s health and welfare plans and other employee benefit plans and programs, in effect from time to time, as determined by the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Sections 9(ii)(d) and 9(iii)(f) below, you will not be eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs during the Consulting Term.  In the event that the independent contractor arrangement during the Consulting Term is reclassified as an employment relationship by any governmental agency or court, you acknowledge and agree that you will not seek to participate in or benefit from any of the employee benefit plans or programs of the Company or its affiliates as a result of such reclassification.
		

		
			7.    Equity Treatment:  Subject to (i) your continued service as Senior Advisor through each applicable vesting date or, prior to an applicable vesting date, the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination and (ii) satisfaction of the Conditions, the Company agrees to treat your outstanding equity awards as follows (the “Equity Treatment”):
		

		
			(a)       With respect to your 26,226 Company restrictive stock units (the “RSUs”) that are eligible to vest on each of January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			(each, an “RSU Vesting Date”), the RSUs will vest on the applicable RSU Vesting Date and settle within 60 days following the applicable RSU Vesting Date. The RSUs shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement (as modified by this Letter Agreement).
		

		
			(b)       With respect to your 78,678 Company performance stock units (the “PSUs”) that are eligible to vest on December 31, 2018 (the “PSU Vesting Date”), the PSUs will vest on December 31, 2018 (based on the performance metrics and adjustment schedule set forth in the applicable award agreement) and settle within two and a half months following the PSU Vesting Date.  The PSUs shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement (as modified by this Letter Agreement).
		

		
			(c)        If a Change in Control (as defined in the Acushnet Holdings Corp. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)) occurs, the RSUs and PSUs, to the extent not then vested, shall fully vest and settle as of the date of such Change in Control (with the PSUs vesting at target).
		

		
			(d)       For purposes of this Letter Agreement, a “Qualifying Termination” means (A) a termination of your employment on the End Date or pursuant to Section 8(iii) and (B) a termination of your services as Senior Advisor pursuant to Section 10(iii).
		

		
			(e)       For purposes of this Letter Agreement, satisfaction of the “Conditions” means (1) your execution and non-revocation of general releases of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) (A) on the End Date or, if earlier, upon the termination of the Employment Term (such Release,  the  “First  Release”); and (B) on December 31, 2018 (such Release, the “Second Release”), each in accordance with Section 13 and (2) your continued material compliance with the Sections 17, 18 and 19 of this Agreement. If you refuse to execute (or revoke) the First Release or Second Release or if you are in material breach of Sections 17, 18 or 19 of this Agreement, the RSUs and PSUs shall be immediately forfeited.
		

		
			8.    Cessation of Employment Prior to the End Date: Your employment with the Company is “at will.” The Employment Term shall end prior to the End Date under any of the following conditions:
		

		
			(i)       Your death, or disability (as defined in the Plan);
		

		
			(ii)       By the Company for Cause.  Upon receipt by you of a  Notice  of Termination (defined in Section 12(i)) from the Company that the Employment Term is being terminated for “Cause.”  For purposes of this Letter Agreement, and subject to Section 8(v), “Cause” shall mean only the   following:
		

		
			(a) your willful neglect or refusal to perform your material duties; provided, however, that same shall not constitute cause unless you are first provided a detailed written notice of alleged Cause and an 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			opportunity to cure.   The written notice shall detail the material duties that the Company asserts you are neglecting or refusing to perform and shall include specific facts upon which the Company bases such assertion.  The cure period shall be thirty (30) days and the final Notice of Termination shall include a detailed explanation of the reasons why the Company determined that you failed to cure.
		

		
			(b) your engagement in conduct in connection with your employment with the Company which results in or could reasonably be expected to result in, material harm to the business or reputation of the Company;

			(e) your engagement in fraud or misappropriation, embezzlement or misuse of funds or property belonging to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or
		

		
			(f) act  of personal dishonesty that involves personal profit in connection with your employment  to the Company.

			(iv)       Your Voluntary Resignation.  Upon receipt by the Company of a Notice of Termination from you that you are resigning.
		

		
			(v)       Cause Termination Procedure.  As a condition precedent to the Company issuing a Notice of Termination for Cause, the Company’s determination that Cause has occurred must be made in good faith and must only be made by, and if, both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer of Holdings agree that Cause exists.  While this process is required, it has no effect upon, nor does it in any way restrict, your legal right to file a lawsuit against the Company to challenge the Company’s Notice of Termination and, in such event, the Company shall have the burden of proving both that (1) it complied with the condition precedent set forth in this Section and that (2) Cause existed under Section 8(ii).

			(b) your accrued, unused vacation and sick leave through the Date of Termination; and
		

		
			(c) your accrued and vested benefits under any tax-qualified employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination (the amounts in clauses (a) through (c), the “Accrued Obligations”).
		

		
			(d) For the avoidance of doubt, all of RSUs and PSUs unvested as of the Date of Termination shall be immediately forfeited as of the Date of Termination.

			(iii)      Upon receipt by you of a Notice of Termination from the Company that the Consulting Term is being terminated other than the reasons set forth in Section 10(ii) above; or
		

		
			(iv)      Upon receipt by the Company of a Notice of Termination from you that you are terminating the Consulting Term.

Compensation Following the  Consulting Term: You shall not be entitled to any compensation or benefits at the end of the Consulting Term;  provided, that if the Company terminates the Consulting Term pursuant to Section 10(iii), you shall remain entitled to the Equity Treatment, subject to satisfaction of the Conditions. If the Consulting Term ends for any reason other than pursuant to Section 10(iii), all of your then-unvested RSUs and PSUs shall be immediately forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Consulting Term shall not affect your entitlement to the payments pursuant to Section 9, if any.

			communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. You understand and acknowledge that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. You understand and acknowledge further that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. For purposes of this Agreement and attached Release, each of the foregoing communications or disclosures is a “Protected Disclosure.” You do not need to give prior notice to (or get authorization from) the Company regarding any Protected Disclosure. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph or under applicable law, notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance will you be authorized to disclose any information covered by attorney-client privilege or attorney work product of any member of the Company, or the Company’s trade secrets, without prior written consent of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or other officer designated by the Company.
		

		
			18.  Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation:
		

		
			(i)        From  the  Effective  Date  through  March  15,  2019  (the  “Restricted Period”), you shall not, directly or indirectly engage in or become competitively employed or retained by, or render any competing services for, or be financially interested in, any firm or corporation engaged in any business which is directly competitive with any significant business in which the Company or any of its affiliates was engaged in during the two year period prior to the Date of Termination, including but not limited to any significant business in which, during such two-year period, you were involved in the Company’s or any affiliate’s planning to enter such business; provided, that such restrictions shall not apply to (a) your purchase of stock not to exceed 5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock or any corporation whose securities are listed on any national securities exchange or (b) your employment by a non-competitive subsidiary or non-competitive affiliated entity of a competitor of the Company or any affiliate upon written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.   In the event of a material breach of this Section 18(i) following the Date of Termination, the RSUs and PSUs shall be immediately forfeited, and such forfeiture shall be the Company’s sole remedy.
		

		
			(ii)       During the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit business or cause others to solicit business that competes with the

			23.  Section 409A: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to you  pursuant to  this  Letter Agreement shall  be made in reliance upon  Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (Separation Pay  Plans) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (Short-Term Deferrals) and, to the extent such exemptions are not available, payments or benefits provider pursuant to this Letter Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.  This Letter Agreement is intended to be written, administered, interpreted and construed in a manner such that no payment or benefits provided under the Agreement become subject to (a) the gross income inclusion set forth within Code Section 409A(a)(1)(A) or (b) the interest and additional tax set forth within Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) (together, referred to herein as the  “Section 409A Penalties”), including, where appropriate, the construction of defined terms to have meanings that  would not cause the imposition of Section 409A Penalties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to provide a tax gross-up payment to you or otherwise reimburse Executive with respect to Section 409A Penalties.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)),  each payment that you may be eligible to receive under this Letter Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment. If you are a “specified employee” (as determined in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) at the completion of the Employment Term, any payments that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation shall be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such amount shall be distributed to you on the earlier of (1) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the Date of Termination, (2) the date of your death, or (3) such earlier date as is permitted under Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter Agreement, in-kind benefits and reimbursements provided under this Letter Agreement during any of your tax years shall not affect in-kind benefits or reimbursements to be provided in any other of your tax years and are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter Agreement, reimbursement requests must be timely submitted by you and, if timely submitted, reimbursement payments shall be made to you as soon as administratively practicable following such submission, but in no event later than the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.  In no event shall you be entitled to any reimbursement payments after the last day  of  your  taxable  year  following  the  taxable  year  in  which  the  expense  was incurred. This section shall only apply to in-kind benefits and reimbursements that would result in taxable compensation income to you.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			24.  Amendment; Waiver:  No provision of this Letter Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and you or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.  No waiver of any breach with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Letter Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent breach or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
		

		
			25.  Severability:  If any provision of this Letter Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Letter Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Letter Agreement.
		

		
			26.  Entire Agreement:    This Letter Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties, and supersedes any and all other prior and/or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which are merged herein. You acknowledge and agree that this Letter Agreement supersedes your entitlement to any payments or benefits under the Acushnet Executive Severance Plan.
		

		
			27.

			EXHIBIT A RELEASE
		

		
			OF CLAIMS
		

		
			As used in this agreement (the “Release of Claims”), the term “claims” will include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’ fees, judgments, losses and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, equity or otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Letter Agreement, delivered to me April 18, 2017, and to which this Release of Claims is attached as an Exhibit (the “Separation Agreement”).
		

		
			For and in consideration of the consideration provided in Sections 7 and 9 of the Separation Agreement (collectively, the “Consideration”) and other good and valuable consideration, I, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors and assigns, effective the date hereof, do fully and forever release, remise and discharge the Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Company Group”), together with their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, fiduciaries, counsel, employees and agents (collectively, and with the Company Group, the “Company Parties”) from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof which I had, may have had, or now have against the Company Parties, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my service or the termination of my service with the Company or otherwise, whether for (by way of example only) tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel or slander, or under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, or the common law, dealing with employment, including, but not limited to, discrimination in employment based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability or sexual orientation. This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family Medical Leave Act, and the Equal Pay Act, each as may be amended from time to time, and all other federal, state and local laws, the common law and any other purported restriction on an employer’s right to terminate the employment of employees. I intend the release contained herein to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law.
		

		
			By executing this Release of Claims, I specifically release all claims relating to my service and its termination under ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.
		

		
			I acknowledge and agree that by virtue of the foregoing, I have waived any relief available to me (including without limitation, monetary damages, equitable relief and reinstatement) under any of the claims and/or causes of action waived in this Release of Claims. Therefore I agree that I will not accept any award or settlement from the Company (including but not limited to any proceeding brought by any other person or by any government agency) with respect to any claim or right waived in this Release of Claims.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Release of Claims shall be a waiver of: (i) my rights with respect to the Consideration, (ii) my rights to benefits due to
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			terminated employees under any qualified pension plan of the Company, (iii) my right to make Protected Disclosures, as defined in Section 17 of the Separation Agreement, or to collect a whistleblower award from any Governmental Entity arising from or in connection with any Protected Disclosure; (iii) my right to any beneficial adjustment to my equity awards as a result of the Company doing so with respect to all other similarly situated employees in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements; (iv) any claims that cannot be waived by law including, without limitation, any claims filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, or claims under the ADEA that arise after the date of this Release of Claims.
		

		
			I expressly acknowledge and agree that I:
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Am able to read the language, and understand the meaning and effect, of this Release of Claims;

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Have no physical or mental impairment of any kind that has interfered with my ability to read and understand the meaning of this Release of Claims or its terms, and that I am not acting under the influence of any medication, drug or chemical of any type in entering into this Release of Claims;

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Am specifically agreeing to the terms of the release contained in this Release of Claims because the Company has agreed to pay me the Consideration, which the Company has agreed to provide because of my agreement to accept it in full settlement of all possible claims I might have or ever had, and because of my execution of this Release of Claims;

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Acknowledge that but for my execution of this Release of Claims, I would not be entitled to the defined Consideration;

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Understand that, by entering into this Release of Claims, I do not waive rights or claims under ADEA that may arise after the date I execute this Release of Claims;

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Had or could have until January 22, 2018 (the “Review Period”), in which to review and consider this Release of Claims, and that if I execute this Release of Claims prior to the expiration of the Review Period, I have voluntarily and knowingly waived the remainder of the Review Period;

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Was advised to consult with my attorney regarding the terms and effect of this Release of Claims; and

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Have signed this Release of Claims knowingly and voluntarily. 

		
			Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Release of Claims will not become effective or enforceable prior to the expiration of the period of seven (7) calendar days following the date of its execution by me (the “Revocation Period”), during which time I may revoke my acceptance of this Release of Claims by notifying the Company, in
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

		

		
			writing, delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, marked for the attention of its Chief Human Resources Officer, Dennis Doherty. To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Company on or prior to the seventh (7th) calendar day following the execution of this Release of Claims. Provided that the Release of Claims is executed and I do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8th) day following the date on which this Release of Claims is executed shall be its effective date (the “Release Effective Date”). I acknowledge and agree that if I revoke this Release of Claims during the Revocation Period, this Release of Claims will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Company Group will have any obligations to pay me the Consideration.
		

		
			The provisions of this Release of Claims shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Release of Claims shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release of Claims.
		

		
			EXCEPT WHERE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THIS RELEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS REGARDING THIS RELEASE SHALL ONLY BE FILED AND ADJUDICATED IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND SUCH COURTS SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS.
		

		
			I HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS RELEASE.

forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Advances in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances at any time
outstanding shall not exceed the Total Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, the Advances on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set
forth herein. 
 (b) Termination; Repayment. The Commitments terminate on the Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all
Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable. 
 (c) Prepayment. At
Borrower’s option, Borrower may, (i) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of a LIBOR Rate Advance and (ii) upon at least one (1) Business Days’ written
notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of a Reference Rate Advance, prepay any or all of the Advances under this Agreement without premium or penalty; provided, that, each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.1.1(c) in
connection with any reduction of the Commitments shall be accompanied by the payment of the Applicable Premium payable in connection with such reduction of the Commitments.

 2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any or
all Advances exceeds the Total Commitment, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in cash such excess (the “Overadvance”). Borrower shall not obtain any Advance hereunder if the
making of such Advance shall result in an Overadvance. 
 2.3 Payment of Interest on the Advances. 

(a) Interest Rate and Interest Payment. Subject to Section 2.3(b), at the option of Borrower, each Advance shall be either a
Reference Rate Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance. Each Reference Rate Advance shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of such Advance until repaid at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate
plus the Applicable Margin. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of such Advance until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in
effect for such Advance plus the Applicable Margin. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the LIBOR Rate shall in no event be less than 1.00% per annum at any time. Interest on each Advance shall be payable (i) in the case of any Reference
Rate Advance, monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which such Advance is made, (ii) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Advance, on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto and (iii) in all cases, at the Maturity Date (whether upon demand, by acceleration or otherwise). Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. New York time may be considered received at the opening
of business on the next Business Day. When any payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day and all fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. Borrower hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 9.3 with the amount of any interest payment due hereunder. 

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at
a rate per annum which is 3.00% above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to
timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Secured Parties. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand. 

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Advance based on changes to the LIBOR Rate shall be effective on
the effective date of any change to the LIBOR Rate and to the extent of any such change. 
 (d) Interest Computation. Interest shall
be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of (i) a 360-day year, with respect to LIBOR Rate Advances, and (ii) a 365/366-day year, with
respect to Reference Rate Advances. 
 (e) Audits, Appraisals and Collateral Monitoring Fees. Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to
Section 6.11, representatives of the Agents may visit any or all of the Loan Parties and/or conduct inspections, audits, valuations, appraisals and/or examinations of any or all of the Loan Parties at any time and from time
to time. Borrower agrees to pay the cost of all visits, inspections, audits, valuations, appraisals and/or examinations conducted by or on behalf of the Agents; provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Agents for more than four (4) valuations or appraisals during any calendar year.

 2.4 Reduction of Commitments; Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Reduction of Commitments. Borrower may reduce the Commitments to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of
(i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then outstanding (after taking into account any payment of principal amount of Advances made in connection with such reduction of Commitments) and (ii) the aggregate principal
amount of all Advances not yet made as to which a notice has been given under Section 2.11(a). Each such reduction shall be (A) in an amount which is an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (or by the full amount of the
Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction if such amount at that time is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)), (B) made by providing not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, (C) irrevocable and (D) accompanied by the payment of the Applicable Premium payable in connection with such reduction of the Commitments. Once reduced, the Commitments may not be increased.  
 (b) Mandatory Prepayment. 

(i) Upon the issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness),
Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Advances in accordance with Section 2.4(c) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section
2.4(b)(i) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

(ii) Within two (2) Business Days after any Extraordinary Disposition by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall prepay
the outstanding principal amount of the Advances in accordance with Section 2.4(c) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Disposition. Nothing contained in this Section
2.4(b)(ii) shall permit any Loan Party to make any Disposition other than in accordance with Section 7.1. 

(iii) Within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any
Extraordinary Receipts which exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) from any one event or a series of related events, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Advances in accordance with Section 2.4(c) in an amount equal to
100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. 
 (c) Application of Payments. Each prepayment
pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be applied to Advances until paid in full. In addition, the Total Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of each prepayment required to be made pursuant to this
Section 2.4, with corresponding permanent reductions to the Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent has elected, or has
been directed by the Required Lenders, to apply payments in respect of any Obligations in accordance with Section 9.3(c)(ii), prepayment required under this Section 2.4 shall be applied in the manner
set forth in Section 9.3(c)(ii). 
 (d) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 2.4 shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, (ii) any Funding Losses payable pursuant to Section 2.7, (iii)
the Applicable Premium payable in connection with such reduction of Commitments in accordance with Section 2.5(d) and (iv) if such prepayment would reduce the amount of the outstanding Advances to zero at a time when the Total Commitment
has been terminated, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.5. 

(e) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.4, payments with respect
to any subsection of this Section 2.4 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.4. 

  
 -3- 

 (f) Waivable Mandatory Prepayments. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.4(b), not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the
date on which Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (the “Required Prepayment Date”), Borrower shall notify, in writing, the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment and the Administrative
Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each Lender may exercise its option to refuse such
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment by giving written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that if a Lender does not notify
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date, it shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the
Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those
Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Advances of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(c)), (ii) to the
extent of any excess, to those Lenders that have (x) elected not to exercise such option and (y) notified the Administrative Agent prior to the Required Prepayment Date that they have elected to accept such excess, on a pro rata basis to
prepay the Advances of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(c)), and (iii) to the extent of any remaining excess, to Borrower for
working capital and general corporate purposes. 
 2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to the Lenders: 

(a) [Reserved]. 
 (b)
Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. A fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Fee”), which fee shall be paid quarterly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, in arrears,
on the last day of each fiscal quarter, in an amount equal to (i) 0.75% per annum calculated on the average unused portion of the Total Commitment for such quarter up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and (ii) the interest that would have
been applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one (1) month at such time calculated on the average unused portion of the Total Commitment for such fiscal quarter in excess of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). 

(c) Expenses; Etc. All amounts due pursuant to Section 10.16 through and after the Effective Date, when due.

 (d) Applicable Premium. 

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Applicable Premium Trigger Event, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders
in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, the Applicable Premium. 
 (ii) Any Applicable Premium payable in accordance with this Section
2.5(d) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Applicable Premium Trigger Event and the Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently
existing. THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION. 

  
 -4- 

 (iii) The Loan Parties expressly agree that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is
the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made;
(C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; (D) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming
differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; (E) their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Advances; and (F) the Applicable Premium represents a good
faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Agents and Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Agent and Lenders or profits lost by the
Agents and Lenders as a result of such Applicable Premium Trigger Event. 
 (iv) Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(d) shall permit
any prepayment of the Advances or reduction of the Commitments not otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(e) Fee Letter. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter. 

2.6 LIBOR Option. 
 (a)
Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate (the
“LIBOR Option”) by notifying the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon New York time at least three (3) Business Days prior to (i) the proposed Funding Date of an Advance (as provided in
Section 2.11), (ii) in the case of the conversion of a Reference Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance, the commencement of the proposed Interest Period or (iii) in the case of the continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance
as a LIBOR Rate Advance, the last day of the then current Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). If such notice of conversion or continuation fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest
Period of one (1) month. Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) shall be made by delivery to the Administrative Agent of
(A) a Payment/Advance Form (in the case of the initial making of a Advance) in accordance with Section 2.11 or (B) a LIBOR Notice prior to the LIBOR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders. Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. 
 (b) Interest on
LIBOR Rate Advances shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.3. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrower shall have properly exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Advances of the same type hereunder. At any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that any portion of the Advances bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Advances to the rate of
interest then applicable to Reference Rate Advances of the same type hereunder on the last day of the then current Interest Period. 
 (c)
Borrower may, on any Business Day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Advance, or on any Business Day with respect to Reference Rate Advances, convert any such Advance into another type of Advance (i.e., a
Reference Rate Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance) in the same aggregate principal amount, provided, that any conversion of a LIBOR Rate 

  
 -5- 

 
Advance not made on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be subject to Section 2.7. If Borrower desires
to convert an Advance, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a LIBOR Notice by no later than 12:00 noon New York time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur
with respect to a conversion from a Reference Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a LIBOR Rate
Advance to a Reference Rate Advance, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the Advances to be converted and if the conversion is from a Reference Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the first Interest Period
therefor. If such notice of conversion from a Reference Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower (i) shall have not more than five (5) LIBOR Rate
Advances in effect at any given time, and (ii) only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Advances of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof.

 (e) Borrower may prepay LIBOR Rate Advances at any time; provided, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Advances are prepaid on any
date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or any application of payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with
Section 9.3 or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and
hold the Agents and Lenders harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.7. 
 (f)
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required to actually acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest
accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section 2 shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar
deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Advances. 
 2.7 Funding Losses. In connection with each Advance,
Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by any Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Advance other than on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.4(b)), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default), or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Advance on the date specified in a Payment/Advance Form delivered
pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding Losses”). Funding Losses shall, with respect to any Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount reasonably determined by such Agent or such Lender to
be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Advance had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date
of such event to the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (ii) the amount of interest that
would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London
interbank market. A certificate of an Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that such Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

 2.8 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Secured Party (or any transferee or assignee thereof,
including a participation holder (any such entity, a “Transferee”)), (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by the amount necessary such that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8) such Secured Party (or such Transferee) receives the amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. 

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. Each
Loan Party shall deliver to each Secured Party official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. 

(c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Secured Party harmless from and against Indemnified Taxes
(including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.8) paid by such Person, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such
indemnification shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes. 

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) 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 (as applicable) certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax
with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. In addition, any Lender (or Transferee), if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Each Lender (or Transferee) shall, whenever a change in circumstances renders such documentation inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to Borrower or the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation
(including any new documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify Borrower or the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable Loan Party or Lender (or Transferee)
has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for such Lender (or Transferee) are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax
treaty, the applicable Loan Party or Lender (or Transferee) shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8(d), no
Lender (or Transferee) shall be required to provide or deliver any document or form pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) (x) that such Lender (or Transferee) is not legally able to deliver or (y) (other than such documentation set forth in
Sections 2.8(d)(i), 2.8(d)(ii) and 2.8(d)(iv) below) if in such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) judgment such provision or delivery would subject such Lender (or Transferee) to any unreimbursed cost or expense
or would otherwise prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender (or Transferee). Without limiting the foregoing:

Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. 

(ii) If a Lender (or Transferee) is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), such Lender (or Transferee) 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
upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A) two properly
completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms)
claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code, 

(B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 
 (C) in the case that Lender (or Transferee) is
claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate (any such certificate a “Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status”)
certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender 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 interest payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with
such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), or 
 (D) to the extent such Lender (or
Transferee) is not the beneficial owner, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of Lender (or Transferee), accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status, or Form W-9, or Form W-8IMY. 
 (iii) Any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (iv) If a payment made to a Lender (or Transferee) under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if such Lender (or Transferee) were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender (or Transferee) shall deliver to Borrower or the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender (or Transferee) has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.8(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the
event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if
the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph
(e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(f) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.9 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. 

(a) If any Secured Party shall have determined that any Change in Law shall (i) subject such Secured Party, or any Person controlling such
Secured Party to any Tax with respect to this Agreement or any Advance made by such Secured Party or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party of any amounts payable hereunder (except
for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Advance, or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by, such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party or (iii) impose on such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Advance, and the result of any event
referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Secured Party of making any Advance or agreeing to make any Advance, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Secured Party hereunder, then,
upon demand by such Secured Party, Borrower shall pay to such Secured Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for such increased costs or reductions in amount. 

(b) If any Secured Party shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party, and such Secured Party determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Advances made or maintained or
any guaranty or participation with respect thereto, such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Secured Party’s
or such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Secured Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Advances made or maintained or any guaranty or
participation with respect thereto or any agreement to make Advances or such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Secured Party’s or such other
controlling Person’s policies with 

  
 -9- 

 
respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Secured Party, Borrower shall pay to such Secured Party from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for
such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s capital. 

(c) All amounts payable under this Section 2.9 shall bear interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the
date of demand by any Secured Party until payment in full to such Secured Party at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Secured Party claiming compensation under this Section 2.9, specifying the event herein above
described and the additional amount due shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any
Secured Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Secured Party’s right to demand such compensation. 

(e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.10 Change in Law; Illegality; Inability to Determine Interest
Rates. 
 (a) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into
account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period,
including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) which additional or
increased costs would increase the cost of funding Advances bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and, upon its
receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender, require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount
of such adjustment. 
 (b) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change
therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance or to continue such
funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (i) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Advances that are
outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Advance, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Advances thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable
to Reference Rate Advances of the same type hereunder, and (ii) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option (including in any borrowing, conversion or continuation then being requested) until such Lender determines that it would no
longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. 
 (c) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.10
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 2.11 Making the Advances. With respect to the making of Advances: 

(a) Procedures for Borrowing. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth
in this Agreement, to obtain an Advance, Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice substantially in the form of the Payment/Advance Form by 12:00 noon New York time on the date which is (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the
Funding Date of the Advance (or such period shorter than three (3) Business Days as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), in the case of the initial Advance and (b) fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Funding Date of the Advance,
in the case of all other Advances. The Payment/Advance Form shall be executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee, and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the proposed Advance, (b) whether the Advance is requested to be a
Reference Rate Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the initial Interest Period with respect thereto, (c) wire instructions for the account of Borrower into which such funds should be deposited, and
(d) the proposed Funding Date, which must be a Business Day. If the Payment/Advance Form requests a LIBOR Rate Advance and fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. The
Secured Parties may act without liability upon the basis of written, emailed or telecopied notice believed in good faith by such Secured Party to be from Borrower (or from any Responsible Officer thereof). The Secured Parties shall be entitled to
rely conclusively on any Responsible Officer’s authority to request an Advance on behalf of Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Secured Parties shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of
the signature appearing on any Payment/Advance Form. Each Payment/Advance Form pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be irrevocable and Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Each Advance shall be made in a
minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and shall be in an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). 

(b) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.11(b), all Advances under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders
simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make an Advance requested hereunder, nor shall the
Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make an Advance requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Advances required to be
made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender. Not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the borrowing date, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative
Agent’s Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Advance to be made by such Lender. Upon receipt of all requested funds, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the account of Borrower specified in the Payment/Advance
Form the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds. 
 (ii)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders, Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), and Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Lenders, Advances pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a), subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in Section
2.11(c); provided, however, that (A) the Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any such Advances if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders on the
Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Advance that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Advance, and (B) the Administrative Agent
shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 3 have been satisfied. If Borrower gives a Payment/Advance Form requesting an Advance and the Administrative
Agent elects not to fund such Advance on behalf of the Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the Payment/Advance Form requesting such Advance, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the specifics of the requested Advance and that it
will not fund the requested Advance on behalf of the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders that it will not fund a requested Advance on behalf of the Lenders, each Lender shall make its

  
 -11- 

 
Pro Rata Share of the Advance available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, in the Administrative Agent’s Account no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time)
(provided that the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) on the date of the proposed Advance. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Advances available to Borrower on
the day of the proposed Advance by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Advances received by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s Account or the amount funded by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by Borrower. 
 (iii) If the Administrative Agent has
notified the Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will not fund a particular Advance pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii), the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to Borrower on such day. If the Administrative Agent makes such
corresponding amount available to Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from
such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Reference
Rate. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the
Administrative Agent to Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be an Advance made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
thereafter notify Borrower of such failure and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. 

(iv) Nothing in this Section 2.11(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or
to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 

(c) (i) With respect to all periods for which the Administrative Agent has funded Advances pursuant to Section 2.11(b), on Friday
of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may from time to time select (any such week or shorter period being herein called a
“Settlement Period”), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Advances outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the
unpaid principal amount of the Advances outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount of the Advances made on the date of such
Lender’s initial funding), each Lender shall promptly (and in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day) make
available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Lender its
Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In addition, if the Administrative Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have
occurred as a result of which the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is desirable to present claims against Borrower for repayment, each Lender shall promptly remit to the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Lenders in the then outstanding Advances to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, 

  
 -12- 

 
each such Lender’s interest in the then outstanding Advances will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section
2.11(c) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Advances which have been funded by such Lender. 

(ii) In the event that any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.11(c)(i), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such
amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be an Advance made by the Administrative Agent for its
own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Borrower of such failure and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 2.11(c)(ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against
any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 2.12 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b)
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and
the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.12(b), the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall govern and control. 

(d) Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto. In
such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Collateral Agent and
reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.15) be represented by one or more
promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

  
 -13- 

 2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requires Borrower to pay any additional amounts under Section 2.8 or requests compensation under
Section 2.9, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to such
Section in the future, and (ii) would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee) subject such Lender (or Transferee) to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (or
Transferee). Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender (or Transferee) in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If any Lender requires Borrower to pay any additional amounts under Section 2.8 or requests compensation under
Section 2.9 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with clause (a) above, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by,
Section 13.15), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) Borrower shall have paid to the Agents any assignment fees specified in
Section 13.15; 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.7 and Section 2.8) from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.8 or a
claim for compensation under Section 2.9, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. 

Prior to the effective date of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the conditions
set forth above. If the assigning Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
Assignment and Acceptance. Any such assignment shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.15. 
 A Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 4. GUARANTY 

4.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual
payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues
after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations,
to the extent not paid by Borrower, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in
this Section 4. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by Borrower to the Secured
Parties under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower. 

  
 -16- 

 4.2 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Secured Parties with
respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that this Section 4 constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by any Agent or any Lender to any
Collateral. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 4 are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such
obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 4 shall be irrevocable,
absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise; 

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) the existence of
any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including, without limitation, any Secured Party; 

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan
Party; or 
 (f) any other circumstance (other than defense of payment, but including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any
existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Parties that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 

This Section 4 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

4.3 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives (a) promptness and diligence, (b) notice of acceptance and any other notice with
respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Section 4 and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (c) any
right to compel or direct any Secured Party to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Section 4 from any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan
Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (d) any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any Loan
Party, any other Person 

  
 -17- 

 
or any Collateral, and (e) any other defense available to any Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any
Guarantor or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this
Section 4.3 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Section 4, and acknowledges that this Section 4 is
continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
 4.4 Continuing Guaranty;
Assignments. This Section 4 is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity
Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 4 and the Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Secured Parties and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments and its Advances) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Secured Party
herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Sections 10.7 or 13.15, as applicable. 
 4.5 Subrogation. No Guarantor
will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this
Section 4, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured Parties against any Loan
Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any other
guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 4 shall have been paid in full in cash and the Maturity Date shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this
Section 4 and the Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all
other amounts payable under this Section 4, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this
Section 4 thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to each of the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Section 4 shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) the Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor. 

4.6 Contribution. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under
this Section 4. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Section 4 such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such
date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with
respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, 

  
 -18- 

 
an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect
to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Guarantors under this Section 4 in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution
Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 4 that would not render its obligations hereunder
subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share
Contribution Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this Section 4.6, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any
rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to
(A) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor under this Section 4 (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 4.6),
minus (B) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section 4.6. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder
shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 4.6 shall not be

agreement (as defined by the Exchange Act) by which each Loan Party is bound. Each Loan Party is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may

issuer’s primary business, the percentage interest on a fully-diluted basis that such Securities constitute in the issuer of such Securities and the percentage (calculated based on the cost of acquisition) that Securities of each issuer
comprise of the Portfolio, in each case, as of the date of the applicable Portfolio Report. No Loan Party has direct or indirect interest in any Securities other than those set out in such Portfolio Report and Miscellaneous Securities. Except as set

the coverage, or the collection of claims. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right, in the name of the Secured Parties, any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, to file claims
under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary

an Event of Default described in Sections 8.6(b) or 8.6(c) occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by any Secured Party); 

(b) terminate or reduce the entire Total Commitments, whereupon the entire Total Commitment shall immediately be so terminated or reduced; 

(c) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and
any Secured Party; 
 (d) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that the
Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of the Secured Parties’ security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account; 

(e) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable (including authorizing the Collateral Agent to do the same) to
protect the Collateral and/or the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if the Collateral Agent requests and make it available as the Collateral Agent designates. The Collateral Agent may
enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses
incurred. Borrower grants the Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any Secured Party’s rights or remedies; 

  
 -37- 

 (f) apply to the Obligations any amount held by any Secured Party owing to or for the credit or
the account of Borrower; 
 (g) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with the
Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1(g), Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to the Secured Parties’ benefit; 

(h) place a “hold” on any account maintained with any Secured Party and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement
order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 

(i) demand and receive copies of all Loan Party Books; and 

(j) exercise all rights and remedies available to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies
provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 
 9.2 [Reserved]. 

9.3 Application of Payments and Proceeds. 

(a) Payments; Computations and Statements. Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on the day when due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the
Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided
in Section 2.11, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and
like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest
and fees received from or for the account of Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt thereof. The Lenders and Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time
to time, charge the Loan Account of Borrower with any amount due and payable by Borrower under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 3.2 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of Borrower shall be deemed an Advance
hereunder made by the Lenders to Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. The Lenders and Borrower confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of Borrower as herein provided
will be made as an accommodation to Borrower and solely at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent, charge the Loan Account of Borrower with
any amount due and payable under any Loan Document. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business

  
 -38- 

 
Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the
basis of a year of 360 days, for LIBOR Rate Advances and a year of 365/366 days, for Reference Rate Advances, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fees or Applicable
Premium hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error. 
 (b) Sharing of Payments.
Except as provided in Section 2.11 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by
them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered and (b) the provisions of this Section 9.3(b) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including
the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other
than to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.3(b) shall apply). Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower
in the amount of such participation. 
 (c) Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.11 hereof: 

(i) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Advances, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in
Section 2.5 hereof) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata
Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Advances, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made. 

(ii) (w) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Sections 8.1, 8.6(b) or
8.6(c), (x) after the acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 9, (y) after the exercise of enforcement remedies by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or (z) otherwise upon the direction
of the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations, including, without limitation,
proceeds of the Collateral and any amounts received on account of the Obligations (whether received as a consequence of the exercise of any remedies under Section 9 hereof or any Loan Document or as a distribution out of
any proceeding in respect of or commenced under any bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceeding including payments in respect of “adequate protection” for the use of Collateral during such proceeding or under any Plan of Reorganization or on
account of any liquidation of any Loan Party, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the
Agents until paid in full; (ii) second, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Collateral Agent Advances until paid in full; (iii) third, to 

  
 -39- 

 
pay principal of the Collateral Agent Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than any Applicable Premium), expense
reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Advances until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably to pay
principal of the Advances (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent, to provide cash collateral in respect of such Obligations) until paid in full; (vii) seventh, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any Applicable Premium then
due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; and (viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable. 
 In
furtherance of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby agrees that it will not support, propose or vote to accept any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization; provided, that notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, each Secured Party shall be permitted to support, propose and/or vote for any Conforming Plan of Reorganization. 

(d) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Such Defaulting
Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.6. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to such Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to the Administrative
Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to such Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender
ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to the Pro Rata Shares of such Defaulting Lender) (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s Advances were funded by the other Lenders) or, if so directed by
Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Advances were not funded by the other Lenders), retain the same to be re-advanced
to Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made such Advances to Borrower. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such
Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. 

(iii) Subject to Section 13.20, the operation of this Section 9.3(d) shall not be construed to increase or
otherwise affect the Commitments of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties and
obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. 
 (iv) This Section 9.3(d)
shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until either (i) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable or (ii) the
non-Defaulting Lenders, the Agents, and Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, and the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable defaulted Advances and
pays to the Agents all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 -40- 

 9.4 Collateral Agent’s Liability for Collateral. Except with respect to
certificated securities, so long as the Collateral Agent acts reasonably, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral (except for any Collateral delivered to it to be held in its possession
or under its control), (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral (except for any Collateral delivered to it to be held in its possession or under its control), (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral or (d) any act or default of any
carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. 
 9.5 No
Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any Secured Party’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by any Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of
such Secured Party thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver by any Secured Party hereunder shall be effective unless signed by such Secured Party and then is only effective for the specific instance and
purpose for which it is given. Each Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Each Secured Party has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Each Secured
Party’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and any Secured Party’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any Secured Party’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or
acquiescence. 
 9.6 Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment,
notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by any Secured Party on which any Loan Party is liable. 

10. AGENTS 

10.1 Appointment. Each of the Lenders (and each subsequent maker of any Advance by its making thereof) hereby irrevocably appoints,
authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to perform the duties of each such Agent as set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, including: (i) to receive on behalf of each Lender any payment of principal of or interest on the Advances outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Lenders and paid to such Agent, and,
subject to Section 2.11 of this Agreement, to distribute promptly to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of all payments so received; (ii) to distribute to each Lender copies of all material notices and agreements received
by such Agent and not required to be delivered to each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Agents shall not have any liability to the Lenders for any Agent’s inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or
agreements to the Lenders; (iii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Advances, and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary
business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (iv) to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments,
proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Advances and Collateral Agent Advances, for such Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the Loan Parties, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of the same to the extent
reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees necessary or
appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (viii) subject to Section 10.3, to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on
its behalf to administer the Advances and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other 

  
 -41- 

 
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make
determinations and calculations); and (ix) to act with respect to all Collateral under the Loan Documents, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure
any of the Obligations. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Advances), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan
Documents) shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Advances; provided, however, that the Agents shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of any Agent, exposes such Agent to liability or
which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. 
 10.2 Nature of Duties; Delegation. (a) The
Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agents shall not have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each of the Lenders shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the
making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Advance hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable
request of a Lender, each Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each
Lender. Each Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) have instructed such Agent to act or
refrain from acting pursuant hereto. 
 (b) Each Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights,
powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender). Any such Person shall benefit from this Section 10.2 to the extent provided by the applicable Agent. 

10.3 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agents and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable to the Lenders for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Advance as the owner thereof until the Collateral
Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 13.15 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;

  
 -42- 

 
(ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to
any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including,
without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or
perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the
Collateral. The Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 9.3(c), and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error,
and the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from the
Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agents shall
be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents). Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until
notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent in writing by the Borrower or any Secured Party. 
 10.4
Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by
the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. 

10.5 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, and whether or not such Agent
has made demand on any Loan Party for the same, the Lenders will, within five (5) days of written demand by such Agent, reimburse such Agent for and indemnify such Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, client charges and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of counsel or
any other advisor to such Agent), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to
Section 10.8; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

  
 -43- 

 
expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final non-appealable judicial determination that such liability resulted from such
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Advances and the termination of this Agreement. 

10.6 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Advances made by it, each Agent
shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of an Advance. The terms “Lenders” or
“Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders. 

10.7 Successor Agent. (a) Any Agent may at any time give at least 30 days prior written notice of its resignation to the
Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which, in the absence of a Default or an Event of Default, will be subject to approval by Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and, if applicable, approved by Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent. Whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a
successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Agent
shall have been appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s Agent’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
of this Section 10 and Section 13.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the retiring Agent was acting
as Agent. 
 10.8 Collateral Matters. 

(a) The Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Collateral Agent Advances”) which the
Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by Borrower of
the Advances and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.16. The
Collateral Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Advances that are Reference Rate Advances. The Collateral Agent Advances shall
constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 9.3(c). The Collateral Agent shall notify each Lender and Borrower in writing of each such Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall
include a description of the purpose 

  
 -44- 

 
of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.5, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Collateral
Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent by
such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. 
 (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the
Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all Advances and all other Obligations
(other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) in accordance with the terms hereof; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of any Loan Party’s business or otherwise in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders in accordance
with Section 13.6. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section
10.8(b). 
 (c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization
or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.8(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.8(b).
Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably
authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties upon such Collateral; provided,
however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all
interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party. 
 (d) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Loan Parties, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Loan Document or to enforce the guaranty under
Section 4, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof,
(ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any
such sale and (iii) the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Agents and the Lenders (but not any other Agent or any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall
otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral to be sold
(A) at any public or private sale, (B) at any sale conducted by the Collateral Agent under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code), (C) at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law or (D) any sale conducted
pursuant to the provisions of any Debtor Relief Law (including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), to use and apply all or any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent

 (e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently
or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 10.8 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related
thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability
whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein. 
 10.9 Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each other Secured
Party hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Secured Party as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each other Secured Party hereby
acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents and the other Secured Parties as secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party obtain possession or control
of any such Collateral, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in
accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required
under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing. 

10.10 No Reliance on any Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor
any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other requirements imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act or
the regulations issued thereunder, including the regulations set forth in 31 C.F.R. §§ 1010.100(yy), (iii), 1020.100, and 1020.220 (formerly 31 C.F.R. § 103.121), as hereafter amended or replaced (“CIP Regulations”),
or any other Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Laws, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the
transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP
Regulations or other regulations issued under the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, Affiliate, participant or assignee subject to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act will perform the measures necessary to satisfy its own responsibilities under the
CIP Regulations. 
 10.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except as set forth in Section 10.7(a) hereof). 

  
 -46- 

 10.12 No Fiduciary Relationship. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term
“agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

10.13 Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender: 

(a) is deemed to have requested that each Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or
examination report with respect to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of such Agent, and each Agent shall so furnish each Lender with each such Report, 

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Agents (i) do not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Reports,
and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Reports, 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are
not comprehensive audits or examinations, that any Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon Borrower’s and its
Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of their personnel, 
 (d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material,
non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with
Section 13.10, and 
 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold any Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection
with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower, and
(ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold any Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by any such Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any
third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 10.14 Collateral Custodian. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designee may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on the premises of any Loan Party a custodian selected by the Collateral Agent
or its designee who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Agents’ and the Secured Parties’ interests. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with any such custodian and to
do whatever the Collateral Agent or its designee may reasonably request to preserve the Collateral. All costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or its designee by reason of the employment of the custodian shall be the responsibility of
Borrower and charged to the Loan Account. 
 10.15 Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

  
 -47- 

 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid
in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Secured Party to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 

10.16 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower will pay promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of a
delivery of an invoice, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of each Agent and, solely to the extent described in
clauses (b) through (i) below, each Lender, regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, including, without limitation, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and expenses of one outside counsel and one local
counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Agents taken as a whole (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (i) below, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and expenses of one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant
jurisdiction for the Lenders taken as a whole), accounting, due diligence, valuations, investigations, searches and filings, monitoring of assets, appraisals of Collateral, title searches and reviewing environmental assessments, miscellaneous
disbursements, examination, travel, lodging and meals, arising from or relating to: (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, the preparation of any additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section 6.7 or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 6.11), (b) any
requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and protection of the Agents’ or any of the Lenders’ rights
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Agents’
or the Lenders’ claims against any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any and all matters in connection therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or intervention in, any court proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, (f) the filing of any petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading by any Agent or any Lender, or the taking of any action in respect of the Collateral, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (g) the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession of or liquidation of, any Collateral in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (h) any attempt to enforce any Lien or security interest in any
Collateral in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (i) any attempt to collect from any Loan Party. Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document: (x) the Borrower agrees to pay all
stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by any Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees to save
each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay 

  
 -48- 

 
or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions, (y) the Borrower agrees to pay all broker fees that may become due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and (z) if the Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses
of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand by the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.16 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any
Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE
ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY

 13. GENERAL PROVISIONS 

13.1 [Reserved]. 
 13.2
Indemnification. 
 (a) In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly
and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against
any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Persons, whether prior to or from
and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to Borrower under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Borrower’s use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) the Agents or Lenders relying on any instructions of Borrower or the handling of the Collateral of Borrower as provided herein or in any
other Loan Document, (iv) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided,
however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 13.2(a) for any Indemnified Matter (x) caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (y) arising from disputes solely among the Agents, the Lenders and their respective participants that do
not involve any acts or omissions of any Loan Party but excluding any disputes between a Lender and HPSIP, in its capacity as an Agent, in respect of which the Loan Party shall have the obligation as provided herein. 

(b) To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.2 may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnified Persons. 
 (c) No Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim
against the Indemnified Persons, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any
applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or
seek any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 (d) The indemnities and waivers
set forth in this Section 13.2 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents. 

  
 -51- 

 13.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in
this Agreement. 
 13.4 [Reserved]. 

13.5 [Reserved]. 
 13.6
Amendments, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (excluding the Fee Letter), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed (x) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties or extending an
existing Lien over additional property, by the Agents and Borrower, (y) in the case of any other waiver or consent, by the Required Lenders (or by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and such Loan Party and
(z) in the case of any other amendment, by the Required Lenders (or by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (i) increase the Commitment
of any Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances payable to any Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest or fees on, the Advances payable to any Lender, in each case, without the written consent of such Lender, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any waiver of the Default Rate in connection with an Event of Default pursuant to Section
2.3(b) or any determination to waive Waivable Mandatory Prepayments under Section 2.4(f); 
 (ii) change the percentage of the
Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances that is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder without the written consent of each Lender; 

(iii) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of each Lender; 

(iv) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents),
subordinate any Lien granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, or release any Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; or 

(v) amend, modify or waive Section 9.3(a), Section 9.3(c) or this Section 13.6 of this Agreement
without the written consent of each Lender. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by an Agent, affect the rights or duties of such Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (B) any amendment, waiver or consent to any provision of this Agreement (including
Section 9.3(a) and 9.3(b)) that permits any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates to purchase Advances on a non-pro rata basis, become an eligible assignee pursuant to
Section 13.15 and/or make offers to make optional prepayments on a non-pro rata basis shall require the prior written consent of the Required Lenders rather than the prior written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and (C) the consent of Borrower shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.4(c) and Section 9.3(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent under the Loan Documents and any Advances held by such Person for purposes hereof shall be automatically deemed to be voted pro rata
according to the Advances of all other Lenders in the aggregate (other than such Defaulting Lender). 

  
 -52- 

 (b) If any action to be taken by the Lenders hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or
agreement of all of the Lenders or any Lender affected thereby, and a Lender (other than the Collateral Agent and its respective Affiliates and Related Funds) (the “Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or
agreement, then the Collateral Agent, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute lenders (each, a “Replacement
Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen
(15) Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender
being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such
replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.15. Until such
time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make
its Pro Rata Share of Advances. 
 13.7 Integration. This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this
subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this
Agreement and the Loan Documents. 
 13.8 [Reserved]. 

13.9 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has
terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied. The obligation
of the Loan Parties in Section 13.2 to indemnify the Secured Parties shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run. 

13.10 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, each Agent and each Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that
it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to each Agent’s or each Lender’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates to the extent such Subsidiaries or Affiliates agree to be bound by the
provisions hereof; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Advances (provided, however, such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or
purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as and to the extent required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, regulation, subpoena or other order, Agent or such Lender
shall notify Borrower of such disclosure; (d) to each Agent’s and Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with each Agent’s or each Lender’s examination or audit; (e) as necessary by Agent or a Lender
in connection with Agent or such Lender’s exercising of remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of each Agent and each Lender so long as such service providers are bound by confidentiality obligations to
such Agent or such Lender. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain not as a result of Agent or a Lender’s breach of this Agreement or in Agent’s or a Lender’s possession when
disclosed to such Agent or such Lender, or becomes part of the public domain not as a result of Agent or a Lender’s breach of this Agreement after disclosure to Agent or such Lender, or (ii) is disclosed to a Lender by a third party, if
such Lender does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. 

  
 -53- 

 13.11 USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the entities composing Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each such entity and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify the entities composing Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Loan Party agrees to take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver at its sole cost and expense, such instruments and documents as any
Lender may reasonably require from time to time in order to enable such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 13.12
[Reserved]. 
 13.13 Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by
law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit
or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or
thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (a) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3(d) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it
exercised such right of set-off. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this
Section 13.13 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents of law or otherwise. 
 13.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
 13.15 Assignments and Participations. 

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender
and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each
Lender and any such purported assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void. 
 (b) Subject to the
conditions set forth in clause (c) below, each Lender may assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Commitment and the
Advances made by it with the written consent of the

Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, and Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan

pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or loans made to such Lender
pursuant to securitization or similar credit facility (a “Securitization”); provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto. The Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Lender and its Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by providing such information as may be
reasonably requested by such Lender in connection with the rating of its Advances or the Securitization.

this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

writing and may be withheld or denied by such Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.

part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Secured Party or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim
effected by such Secured Party with any such claimant, then and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any
