 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of December 17, 2010, by and among the lenders
identified on the signature pages hereof (each of such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter as a “Lender”, as that term is hereinafter further defined), WELLS FARGO
CAPITAL FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Remy International”), WESTERN REMAN INDUSTRIAL, INC., an Indiana corporation (“Western Reman Inc.”), POWER INVESTMENTS, INC., an Indiana corporation (“Power Investments”), REMY
ELECTRIC MOTORS, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company (“Remy Electric”), REMAN HOLDINGS, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Reman Holdings”), REMY INDIA HOLDINGS, INC., a
Delaware corporation (“Remy India”), REMY TECHNOLOGIES, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Remy Technologies”), REMY KOREA HOLDINGS, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
(“Remy Korea”), REMY INC., a Delaware corporation (“Remy Inc.”), REMY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Remy International Holdings”), REMY POWER PRODUCTS,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Remy Power”), and WORLD WIDE AUTOMOTIVE, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company (“World Wide Automotive”; together with Remy International, Western Reman
Inc., Power Investments, Remy Electric, Reman Holdings, Remy India, Remy Technologies, Remy Korea, Remy Inc., Remy International Holdings, and Remy Power, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Borrower”, and
individually and collectively, jointly and severally, as the “Borrowers”). 
 The parties agree as follows:

  

	1.	DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION. 

 1.1. Definitions. 
 Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall
have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. 
 1.2. Accounting Terms. 

All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if
any Borrower notifies Agent that such Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if
Agent notifies any Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and
such Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and such Borrower after
such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any 

 
such amendments have been agreed upon by Borrowers and Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred and until so amended
Borrowers shall provide to Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before
and after giving effect to such Accounting Change. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrower” or “Borrowers” is used in respect of a
financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any
obligations of a Person under a lease (whether existing now or entered into in the future) that is not (or would not be) required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease on a balance sheet of such Person under GAAP as in effect on the
Closing Date shall not be treated as a capital lease solely as a result of the adoption of changes in GAAP outlined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in its press release dated March 19, 2009, and (ii) all terms of an accounting
or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any elections under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries as “fair value” as defined therein. 

1.3. Code. 
 Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that to the extent
that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern. 

1.4. Construction. 
 Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms
“includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or
such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement,
instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such
alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and
effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the
Obligations 

  
 -2-

 
shall mean the repayment in full in cash or immediately available funds (or, (a) in the case of contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, providing Letter of
Credit Collateralization, and (b) in the case of obligations with respect to Bank Products (other than Hedge Obligations), providing Bank Product Collateralization) of all of the Obligations (including the payment of any termination amount then
applicable (or which would or could become applicable as a result of the repayment of the other Obligations) under Swap Contracts provided by Hedge Providers) other than (i) unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations, (ii) any Bank
Product Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations) that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized, and (iii) any Hedge Obligations that,
at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedge Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns. Any
requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record. 

1.5. Schedules and Exhibits. 
 All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. 
 1.6. Currency Equivalents Generally. 
 Any amount specified in this
Agreement in Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7 or in definitions in Schedule 1.1 and incorporated in such Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7 to be Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any
currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. For purposes of this

financial institution designated by Agent if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for such currency. 
  

	2.	LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 

2.1. Revolver Advances. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make
revolving loans (“Advances”) to Borrowers in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of: 
 (i) such Lender’s Revolver Commitment, or 
 (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of an amount equal to the lesser of: 

  
 -3-

 (A) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage
at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time, and 
 (B) the Borrowing Base at
such time less the sum of (1) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time. 
 (b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The
outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 (c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to establish, increase, reduce, eliminate, or otherwise adjust reserves from time to time against the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion
shall deem necessary or appropriate, including (i) reserves in an amount equal to the Bank Product Reserve Amount, and (ii) reserves with respect to (A) sums that any Borrower is or its Subsidiaries are required to pay under any
Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay when due, and (B) amounts owing by
any Borrower is or it Subsidiaries are to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than a Permitted Lien which is a permitted purchase money Lien or the interest of a lessor under a Capital Lease),
which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or
trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral. 
 (d) (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time or times during the period from the Closing Date through and including the date that is 6 months prior to the Maturity Date,
Administrative Borrower may request of Agent in writing that the then effective Maximum Revolver Amount, the Revolver Commitments and the Total Commitments be increased by an aggregate amount up to $20,000,000 (the “Maximum Revolver Increase
Amount”). Such notice shall set forth the Maximum Revolver Increase Amount being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000). Upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions after
the making of such request, the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Revolver Commitments shall be increased by the Maximum Revolver Increase Amount: (i) Borrowers shall have obtained Agent’s consent to such Maximum Revolver Increase Amount,
(ii) immediately prior to and after no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result of such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Revolver Commitments, in each case as of the time of the
making of such request by Administrative Borrower for such increase through and including the date, if any, that the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Revolver Commitments have been so increased, (iii) no Material Adverse Effect shall have
occurred as of the time of the making of such request by Administrative Borrower for such increase through and including the 

  
 -4-

 
date, if any, that the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Revolver Commitments have been so increased, (iv) each Loan Party shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take
such other actions as may be requested by Agent in connection with such increase, (v) either existing Lenders or other banks, financial institutions or investment funds shall have agreed to provide the Maximum Revolver Increase Amount, in each
case in accordance with clause (ii) below, and (vi) Administrative Borrower shall have delivered a certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent indicating that all of the conditions to such increase set forth in this clause
(a) have been satisfied. 
 (ii) Participation in the Maximum Revolver Increase Amount shall be offered first to each of
the existing Lenders, but no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to provide all or any portion of such Maximum Revolver Increase Amount. Each of the existing Lenders shall have 20 Business Days following receipt of a request for the Maximum
Revolver Increase Amount from Administrative Borrower to notify Administrative Borrower and Agent of such Lender’s commitment to increase its Revolver Commitment, as applicable. In the event that Administrative Borrower has not received
commitments from the existing Lenders in an amount equal to the requested Maximum Revolver Increase Amount within such 20 Business Day period, then Administrative Borrower may invite other banks, financial institutions and investment funds
acceptable to Agent to be joined as parties to this Agreement as Lenders hereunder with respect to the portion of the Maximum Revolver Increase Amount not taken within such 20 Business Day period by existing Lenders; provided, that, such
other banks, financial institutions and investment funds shall enter into such joinder agreements to give effect thereto as Agent and Borrowers may reasonably request. 
 2.2. [Intentionally omitted] 
 2.3. Borrowing Procedures and
Settlements. 
 (a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized
Person delivered to Agent. Unless Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(b) below and unless Borrowers have elected to exercise the LIBOR Option in accordance with Section 2.12, such notice
must be received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day;
provided, however, that if Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan as to a requested Borrowing, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date that is the
requested Funding Date. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, each Borrower agrees
that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. 

(b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance and so long as the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since
the last Settlement Date, minus the amount of Collections or payments applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Advance does not exceed $15,000,000, Swing Lender shall make an Advance in the amount of
such requested Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing 

  
 -5-

 
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and such Advances being referred to as “Swing Loans”) available to
Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to the Designated Account. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Swing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make Swing Loans
at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Section 3) applicable to other Advances,
except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if
Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (ii) the requested
Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable
thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

 (c) Making of Loans. 
 (i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders,
not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of
the proceeds of such Advances, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account;
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance if (1) one or more of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such
Funding Date. 
 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. (noon) (New York time) on the date of a
Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such
amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender shall not
have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available
to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with 

  
 -6-

 
respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such
Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by
Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances
composing such Borrowing. 
 (d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances. 

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.3(d)(iv),
Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied, to make Advances to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders (in an aggregate amount for all such Advances taken together not exceeding
$9,500,000 outstanding at any one time) that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the
Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). 

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.3(d)(iv),
the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans) to Borrowers
notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than $9,500,000, and (B) after giving
effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains actual
knowledge that an Overadvance exists, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding
amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case Agent may make such Overadvances and provide
notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrowers intended to reduce, within a
reasonable time, the Overadvance. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Revolver Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according
to the determination of the Required Lenders. In any event: (x) if any Overadvance remains outstanding for more than 60 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, Borrowers shall immediately repay Advances in an amount sufficient
to eliminate all such Overadvances, and (y) after the date all such Overadvances have been eliminated, there must be 

  
 -7-

 
at least five consecutive days before Overadvances are made. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which
shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) (or Section 2.3(g), as applicable) for the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the
charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses. 
 (iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance
shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for
its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.
The ability of Agent to make Protective Advances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Overadvances and its ability to make Overadvances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Protective Advances. For the avoidance of doubt,
the limitations on Agent’s ability to make Protective Advances do not apply to Overadvances and the limitations on Agent’s ability to make Overadvances do not apply to Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d)
are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers in any way. 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no Overadvance or
Protective Advance may be made by Agent if such Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and
(B) to the extent any Protective Advance causes the aggregate Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, each such Protective Advance shall be for Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Lender and shall
be entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with Section 2.4(b). 
 (e) Settlement. It is agreed that
each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree
(which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Protective Advances
shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) Agent shall request settlement
(“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the
outstanding Protective Advances, and (3) with respect to Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such
requested Settlement, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a
Settlement 

  
 -8-

 
Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(g)): (y) if the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender
(as such Lender may designate in writing), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances), and (z) if
the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no
later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share
of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Protective
Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans or Protective Advances representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on
the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. 

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or
greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good
funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. 
 (iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any Collections or payments received by
Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to the Protective Advances or Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances or Swing
Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections or payments of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances
other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented the provisions of
Section 2.3(g)), to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period
between Settlement 

  
 -9-

 
Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect
to the Advances other than Swing Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

 (iv) Anything in this Section 2.3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(g). 

(f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrowers, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the
Advances, owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Protective Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be
presumed to be correct and accurate. 
 (g) Defaulting Lenders. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting
Lender any payments made by any Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any Collections or proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the
Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, repaid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second,
to the Issuing Lender, to the extent of the portion of a Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, repaid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments
(but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other non-Defaulting Lender), (D) to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which
shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) from and after the date on
which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (L) of Section 2.4(b)(ii). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the
account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the
calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment
shall be deemed to be zero. The provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrowers shall have
waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts
owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this
Section 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to 

  
 -10-

 
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 Borrowers of their duties and
obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this
Agreement and shall entitle Borrowers, at their option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection
with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and
agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees,
and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or any Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the
priority provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest
extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern. 

(h) Independent Obligations. All Advances (other than Swing Loans and Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders
contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder,
nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other
Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 2.4. Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments. 

(a) Payments by Borrower. 
 (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower shall be made to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds,
no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue until such following Business Day. 
 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately
available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on 

  
 -11-

 
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers do not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay
to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 

(b) Apportionment and Application. 
 (i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments received by Agent shall
be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses received by Agent (other than fees or expenses that are
for Agent’s separate account or for the separate account of the Issuing Lender) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. All
payments to be made hereunder by Borrowers shall be remitted to Agent and (subject to Section 2.4(b)(iv) and Section 2.4(e)) all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no
Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Advances outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. 

(ii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to
Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows: 
 (A) first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 

(B) second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 

(C) third, to pay interest due in respect of all Protective Advances until paid in full, 

(D) fourth, to pay the principal of all Protective Advances until paid in full, 

(E) fifth, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of
the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
 (F) sixth, ratably, to pay any fees or premiums then due to
any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 

  
 -12-

 (G) seventh, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Swing Loans until paid in
full, 
 (H) eighth, to pay the principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full, 

(I) ninth, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Advances (other than Protective Advances) until paid in full,

 (J) tenth, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, (ii) to Agent, to be held
by Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Lender (and for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders that have an obligation to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, a share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement), as cash collateral in an
amount up to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage (to the extent permitted by applicable law, such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of any Letter of Credit Disbursement as and when such disbursement occurs and, if a Letter of
Credit expires undrawn, the cash collateral held by Agent in respect of such Letter of Credit shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii), beginning with tier (A) hereof), and
(iii) up to the Aggregate Bank Product Reserve Amount in the aggregate (after taking into account any amounts previously paid pursuant to this clause (iii) during the continuation of the applicable Application Event), ratably (based on the
Bank Product Reserve established by Agent for each Bank Product of a Bank Product Provider consisting of Swap Contracts), to the Bank Product Providers based upon amounts then certified by the applicable Bank Product Provider to Agent (in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent) to be due and payable to such Bank Product Providers on account of Hedge Obligations of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, 
 (K) eleventh, to pay any other Obligations other than Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders (including being paid, ratably, to the Bank Product Providers on account of all amounts then due and
payable in respect of Bank Product Obligations, with any balance to be paid to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral (which cash collateral may be released by Agent to the applicable
Bank Product Provider and applied by such Bank Product Provider to the payment or reimbursement of any amounts due and payable with respect to Bank Product Obligations owed to the applicable Bank Product Provider as and when such amounts first
become due and payable and, if and at such time as all such Bank Product Obligations are paid or otherwise satisfied in full, the cash collateral held by Agent in respect of such Bank Product Obligations shall be reapplied pursuant to this
Section 2.4(b)(ii), beginning with tier (A) hereof), 
 (L) twelfth, ratably to pay any Obligations
owed to Defaulting Lenders; and 
 (M) thirteenth, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other

applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e). 

  
 -13-

 (iv) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing,
Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by any Borrower to Agent and specified by such Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. 
 (v) For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of Obligation
means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, and expense
reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. 
 (vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention
of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict
relates to the provisions of Section 2.3(g) and this Section 2.4, then the provisions of Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4
shall control and govern. 
 (c) Reduction of Commitments. 

(i) Revolver Commitments. The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Borrowers may reduce the Revolver
Commitments, without premium or penalty, to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Advances not yet made as to which a request has been given by
Borrowers under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which
is not less than $5,000,000 (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $40,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than 5
Business Days prior written notice to Agent and shall be irrevocable unless such notice specifies it is conditional on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction, in which case such notice shall be contingent on the consummation thereof,
and may be revoked by Administrative Borrower if such refinancing or other transaction fails to close. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased, except as provided in Section 2.1(a). Each such reduction of the Revolver
Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. 

(d) Optional Prepayments. 
 (i) Advances. Borrowers may prepay the principal of any Advance at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. 

  
 -14-

 (e) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) Borrowing Base. If, at any time, (A) the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds (B) the Borrowing Base (such excess
being referred to as the “Borrowing Base Excess”), then Borrowers shall promptly, but in any event, within 1 Business Day prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an aggregate amount equal to the
Borrowing Base Excess. 
 (ii) Dispositions. Within 3 Business Days of the date of receipt by any Loan Party of the Net
Cash Proceeds of Disposition by any Loan Party of assets (excluding Dispositions which are permitted under clauses (a), (b), (d), (f), (g), (i), (j) or (k) of Section 6.5), Borrowers shall prepay, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received by such Loan Party in connection with such
Dispositions; provided, that so long as no Triggering Event has occurred, such prepayment obligations shall only apply to the extent the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from all Dispositions by the Loan Parties and all Extraordinary
Receipts received by the Loan Parties exceeds $5,000,000 in any fiscal year; provided, further, that, so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom,
(B) Borrowers shall have given Agent prior written notice of Borrowers’ intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or
construction of other assets useful in the business of the Loan Parties, (C) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (D) the Loan Parties complete such replacement,
purchase, or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies (or 270 days if a commitment to reinvest is entered into within 180 days after such receipt), then the Loan Party whose assets were the subject of such disposition
shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Loan Parties unless and to
the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to Agent and applied in
accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to use such Net Cash Proceeds to make such replacements, purchases, or construction in excess of $20,000,000 in any given
fiscal year. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4(e)(ii) shall permit Borrowers or any of their Material Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any assets other than in accordance with Section 6.5. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause (ii) to the extent the applicable Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds of the Term B Priority Collateral, Borrowers are required to prepay the Term
Loan Indebtedness with such Net Cash Proceeds and Borrowers prepay such Term Loan Indebtedness with such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the Term Loan Indebtedness Documents. 

(iii) Extraordinary Receipts. Within 3 Business Days of the date of receipt by any Loan Party of the Net Cash Proceeds of any
Extraordinary Receipts, Borrowers shall prepay, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash
Proceeds; provided, that so long as no Triggering Event has occurred, such 

  
 -15-

 
prepayment obligation shall only apply to the extent the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from all Dispositions by the Loan Parties and all Extraordinary Receipts received by the Loan
Parties exceeds $5,000,000 in any fiscal year; provided, further, that so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (B) Borrowers shall have given Agent prior
written notice of Borrowers’ intention to apply such monies with respect to proceeds of insurance, condemnation awarded (or payments in lieu thereof) or indemnity payments to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets in respect of
which such Net Cash Proceeds were received, (C) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (D) the Loan Parties complete such replacement, purchase or construction within
180 days after the initial receipt of such monies (or 270 days months if a commitment to reinvest is entered into within 180 days months after such receipt), then the Loan Party whose assets were the subject of such Extraordinary Receipt shall have
the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such Disposition unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase or construction being made
or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have the right
to use such Net Cash Proceeds to make such replacements, purchases or construction in excess of $20,000,000 in any given fiscal year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause
(ii) to the extent the applicable Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds of the Term B Priority Collateral, Borrowers are required to prepay the Term Loan Indebtedness with such Net Cash Proceeds and Borrowers prepay such Term Loan Indebtedness
with such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the Term Loan Indebtedness Documents. 
 (f) Application of Payments.

 (i) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i) shall, (A) so long as no Application Event shall
have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances until paid in full, and second, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of
Credit Usage, and (B) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii). 
 (ii) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii) or 2.4(e)(iii), above shall (A) so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first,
to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances, until paid in full, and second, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, and (B) if an Application Event shall
have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii). 
 2.5.
Overadvances. 
 If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by Borrowers to the Lender
Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.11 is greater than any of the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.11, as applicable (an “Overadvance”), Borrowers shall
promptly, but in any event, within 1 Business Day of the initial occurrence of an Overadvance pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the

  
 -16-

 
Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). Borrowers promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in full
on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

2.6. Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that
have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows: 
 (i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and 
 (ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of
Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.11(e)) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate Margin times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit. 
 (c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and at the
discretion of Agent or the election of the Required Lenders, 
 (i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit)
shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder, and 
 (ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.6(b) shall be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder. 

(d) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.10 or Section 2.12(a), all
interest, all Letter of Credit fees, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable,
in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without prior notice to such Borrower, to charge all interest, Letter of Credit fees,
and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable), all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as
and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.11(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other
payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products) to the Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall
constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to 

  
 -17-

 
Advances that are Base Rate Loans. Any interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product
Agreement that are charged to the Loan Account shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement). 
 (e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan
Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of
interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. 
 (f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates and other charges for the use of money payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in
connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Each Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend
legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment
exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of
such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess. 
 2.7. Crediting Payments; Clearance Charge. 
 The receipt of any
payment item by Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for
payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any
payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York time). If any payment item is received into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00
p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 
 2.8. Designated Account. 
 Agent is authorized to make the Advances,
and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to
Section 2.6(d). Borrowers agree to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested

  
 -18-

 
by Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrowers, any Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders
hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account. 
 2.9. Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.

 Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) on which
Borrowers will be charged with all Advances (including Protective Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Issuing Lender for
Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7, the Loan Account will
be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrowers or for any Borrower’s account. Agent shall render monthly statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrowers, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of
all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless,
within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrowers, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. 
 2.10. Fees. 
 Borrower shall pay to Agent, 

(a) for the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

 (b) for the ratable account of those Lenders with Revolver Commitments, on the first day of each month from and after the
Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Payoff Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to the applicable percentage in the following table that corresponds to the average Daily Balance of the Revolver
Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof), per annum times the result of (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, less (ii) the average Daily Balance of the Revolver Usage during the immediately
preceding month (or portion thereof); provided, that if the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments increases during any month, for purposes of clause (ii) above, (x) with respect to the portion of such month prior to such
increase, the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments shall be the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to such increase, and (y) with respect to the portion of such month after such increase, the
aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments shall be the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments immediately after giving effect to such increase.

2.11. Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Administrative Borrower made in accordance herewith, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue, or to cause an Underlying Issuer
(including, as Issuing Lender’s agent) to issue, a requested Letter of Credit. If Issuing Lender, at its option, elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Letter of Credit, then Issuing Lender agrees that it will enter into
arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such Underlying Issuer (which may include, among, other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings which provide for reimbursements of such
Underlying Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Underlying Issuer. By
submitting a request to Issuing Lender for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Lender issue or that an Underlying Issuer issue the requested Letter of Credit and to have requested Issuing
Lender to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such requested Letter of Credit if it is to be issued by an Underlying Issuer (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that Borrowers are and shall be deemed to be
applicants (within the meaning of Section 5-102(a)(2) of the Code) with respect to each Underlying Letter of Credit). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of
Credit, shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter
of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (v) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension,
identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuing Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit or to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that supports the obligations of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries
(1) in respect of (A) a lease of real property, or (B) an employment contract, or (2) at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit or
a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance: 

  
 -20-

 (i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base less the outstanding
amount of Advances (inclusive of Swing Loans) or 
 (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $20,000,000, or 

(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of Advances (including
Swing Loans). 
 Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall
constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer at the request of Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each
Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender makes a payment under a Letter of Credit or an
Underlying Issuer makes a payment under an Underlying Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such
payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. If a Letter of
Credit Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Lender shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by
Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then
to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. 
 (b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter
of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.11(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on the same terms and conditions as if
Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as an Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking (or an amendment to a Letter
of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolver Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with
a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and each Reimbursement Undertaking, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying
Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to
be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an 

  
 -21-

 
amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be
made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full. 
 (c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, save, defend, and hold Issuing Lender, the Lender Group and each Underlying Issuer harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16), and reasonable attorneys
fees incurred by Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer arising out of or in connection with any Reimbursement Undertaking or any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be
obligated hereunder to indemnify any such Person for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Each Borrower
agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any Reimbursement Undertaking even though this interpretation may be different from such
Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following any
Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the Reimbursement Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying
Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by a Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Issuing Lender and the other members of the Lender Group harmless with
respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) incurred by them as a result of the Issuing Lender’s indemnification of an Underlying
Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify any such Person for any such loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Person. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in
connection with any Letter of Credit. 
 (d) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the
Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters
arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application. 
 (e) Any and all issuance charges,
usage charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable promptly, but in any event, within 1 Business
Day by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being 

  
 -22-

 
acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that, as of the Closing Date, the usage charge imposed by the Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the undrawn amount of each Underlying Letter of
Credit, that such usage charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals. 

(f) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the
interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether
having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): 

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused
to be issued hereunder or hereby, or 
 (ii) there shall be imposed on the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender
Group, or Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, 
 and the result of the foregoing
is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Reimbursement Undertaking or Letter of Credit or to reduce the
amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay
within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with
interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to provide any compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.11(f) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrowers (provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in applicable law or compliance requirement enacted
after the Closing Date regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued); provided further, however, that if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.11(f), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable
detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

 2.12. LIBOR Option. 

(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall
have the option, subject to Section 2.12(b) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion
from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the
last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrowers properly have exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to
Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written election of the Required Lenders, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at a
rate based upon the LIBOR Rate. 
 (b) LIBOR Election. 

(i) Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as Administrative Borrower has not received a notice from Agent, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of the election of the Required Lenders to terminate the right of Borrowers to exercise the LIBOR Option during the continuance of such Event of Default, elect to exercise the LIBOR
Option by notifying Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least 2 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrowers’ election of the LIBOR Option for a
permitted portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline
(to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

 (ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on each Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each
Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrowers
setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as
applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Agent may, in its sole

  
 -24-

 
discretion at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the
payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any LIBOR Rate Loan and that, in the event that Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers
shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses. 
 (iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in
effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000. 
 (c) Conversion. Borrowers may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date
that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance
with Section 2.4(b) 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, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold
Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.12 (b)(ii). 
 (d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate. 
 (i) The LIBOR Rate may
be adjusted by 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, in each case, due to changes in
applicable law (other than changes in laws relative to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) 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 or
maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its
receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining
the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)). 

(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or 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 LIBOR Rate Loans 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 Agent and Borrowers and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR
Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be 

  
 -25-

 
deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to
Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. 

(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender,
nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. 

2.13. Capital Requirements. 
 (a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding
companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any
guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such
Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then
existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof; provided,
that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deed to be a
change in law or compliance requirement enacted after the Closing Date regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return
of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which
such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions
in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof. 
 (b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.12(d)(i) or amounts
under Section 2.13(a) or sends a notice under Section 2.12(d)(ii) relative to changed circumstances (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly
designate a different one of its lending offices or to 

  
 -26-

 
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) in the reasonable
judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another
of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrowers’ obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or to enable Borrowers to obtain
LIBOR Rate Loans, then Borrowers (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment
the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans,
may seek a substitute Lender reasonably acceptable to Agent to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender
agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall
be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 2.14. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. 
 (a) Each Borrower
is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender Group under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each
Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. 
 (b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect
to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 2.14), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of
each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. 
 (c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make
any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such
Obligation until such time as all of the Obligations are paid in full. 
 (d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the
provisions of this Section 2.14 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower 

  
 -27-

 
enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this
Section 2.14(d)) or any other circumstances whatsoever. 
 (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of
any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or
postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agent or Lenders at
any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the
Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations,
including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.14
afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.14, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder
remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.14 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this
Section 2.14 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or any Agent or Lender. 

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of
Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and
understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment
or nonperformance of the Obligations. 
 (g) The provisions of this Section 2.14 are made for the benefit of Agent,
each member of the Lender Group, each Bank Product Provider, and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without
requirement on the part of Agent, any member 

  
 -28-

 
of the Lender Group, any Bank Product Provider, or any of their successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or
to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.14
shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.14 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

 (h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other
Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to Agent or Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all
of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any Agent or any member of the Lender Group hereunder or under any of the Bank Product Agreements are
hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in
cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. 
 (i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any
indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such
indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for Agent, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

  

	3.	CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT. 

 3.1. Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit. 
 The
obligation of each Lender to make its initial extension of credit provided for hereunder is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Agent and each Lender, of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1 (the making of
such initial extension of credit by a Lender being conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent ). 

  
 -29-

 3.2. Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. 

The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to make any Advances hereunder (or to extend any other credit hereunder) at
any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: 
 (a) the representations and warranties of each Borrower or
its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that
already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier
date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or
modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of such earlier date); and 
 (b) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof. 

3.3. Maturity. 
 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on December 17, 2015; provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day, such term shall end on the
next preceding Business Day (such Business Day, the “Maturity Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement
immediately and without notice to Administrative Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. 
 3.4. Effect of Maturity. 
 On the Maturity Date, all commitments of
the Lender Group to provide additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand and Borrowers shall be required to repay all of the Obligations in
full. No termination of the obligations of the Lender Group (other than payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments) shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any
other Loan Document and Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. When all of the Obligations have
been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien
releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and
liens previously filed by Agent. 

  
 -30-

 3.5. Early Termination by Borrowers. 

Borrowers have the option, at any time upon 5 Business Days prior written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable unless such notice
specifies it is conditional on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction, in which case such notice shall be contingent on the consummation thereof, and may be revoked by Administrative Borrower if such refinancing or other transaction
fails to close) by Administrative Borrower to Agent, to terminate this Agreement and terminate the Commitments hereunder by repaying to Agent all of the Obligations in full. 
 3.6. Conditions Subsequent. 
 The obligation of the Lender Group (or
any member thereof) to continue to make Advances (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is subject to the fulfillment on or before the date applicable thereto, of the conditions subsequent set forth on Schedule 3.6 (the failure by Borrowers
to so perform or cause to be performed such conditions subsequent as and when required by the terms thereof, shall constitute an Event of Default). 
  

	4.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 

 In order to induce the Lender Group to enter into this Agreement, each Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender Group which shall be true, correct, and complete, in all
material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the Closing Date, and shall be true, correct,
and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the date of the making of
each Advance (or other extension of credit) made thereafter, as though made on and as of the date of such Advance (or other extension of credit) (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in
which case such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified
by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date) and such representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

 -31-

 4.2. Authorization; No Contravention. 

The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is or is to be a party have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of,

in connection with the Transaction) to be made under (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or
decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law; in the case of clauses (b) or (c), except with respect to any violation, breach, contravention or payment
(but not creation of Liens referred to in clause (b)), to the extent that such violation, breach, contravention or payment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.3. Governmental Authorization; Other Consents.

actions in respect of the perfection of the Collateral and enforcement of the remedies in respect of the Collateral or any filings in connection with a judicial action, and (2) the authorizations, approvals, actions, notices and filings listed
on Schedule 4.3 (all of which in the case of clause (2) have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect). 
 4.4. Binding Effect. 
 This Agreement has been, and each other Loan
Document, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity. 

  
 -32-

 4.5. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect. 

(a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered
thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered
thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein. 
 (b) The unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries dated September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income or
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and

year-end audit adjustments. 
 (c) Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no event or circumstance,
either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d)
The consolidated and consolidating pro forma balance sheets of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated and consolidating pro forma statements of income and cash flows of Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries for the nine months then ended, certified by the chief financial officer or treasurer of Administrative Borrower, copies of which have been furnished to each Lender, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated and
consolidating pro forma financial condition of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated and consolidating pro forma results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period ended on such date, in
each case giving effect to the Transaction, all in accordance with GAAP. 
 (e) The consolidated and consolidating forecasted
balance sheets, statements of income and cash flows of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 5.1 were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which
assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of delivery, the Borrower’s best estimate of its future financial condition and performance; it being understood
that actual results may vary from such forecasts and that such variations may be material.

Adverse Effect.

consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of Borrowers or such other Loan Parties, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that Foreign Subsidiaries may maintain

affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants (subject to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures), at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon
reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided, that, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives) may do any of the foregoing at reasonable times and

any Loan Party, then Borrowers shall, at Borrowers’ expense: 
 (i) within 15 days after such formation or acquisition (or
such longer period as Agent may agree), cause such Subsidiary, and cause each direct and indirect parent of such Subsidiary (if it has not already done so), to duly execute and deliver to Agent a guaranty or guaranty supplement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, guaranteeing the other Loan Parties’ obligations under the Loan Documents, 

(ii) within 15 days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as Agent may agree), furnish to Agent a description of

Loan Party (if it has not already done so) to duly execute and deliver to Agent deeds of trust, trust deeds, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, amendments to the Loan Documents and other security and pledge agreements, as specified by and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (including such instruments of the type specified on Schedule 3.1), securing payment of all the Obligations of such Subsidiary, such parent or such

  
 -46-

 
Loan Party, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents and constituting Liens on all such real and personal properties,

direct and indirect parent of such Subsidiary (if it has not already done so) and each other respective Loan Party to take whatever action (including the recording of mortgages, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, the giving

purported to be subject to the deeds of trust, trust deeds, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, amendments to the Loan Documents and security and pledge agreements delivered pursuant to this Section 5.12, enforceable against all third
parties in accordance with their terms, 
 (v) within 60 days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as
Agent may agree), deliver to Agent, upon the request of Agent in its sole discretion, a signed copy of one or more a favorable opinions, addressed to Agent, on behalf of itself, the Lender Group and the Bank Providers, of counsel for the Loan
Parties reasonably acceptable to Agent as to the matters contained in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) above, and as to such other matters as Agent may reasonably request, and 

(vi) as promptly as practicable after such formation or acquisition, deliver, upon the request of Agent in its sole discretion, to Agent
with respect to each parcel of Material Real Property owned by the entity that is the subject of such formation or acquisition title reports, surveys and Phase I environmental assessment reports, provided, however, that to the
extent that any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall have otherwise received any of the foregoing items with respect to such real property, such items shall, promptly after the receipt thereof, be delivered to the Agent; 

provided, that only 65% of voting Equity Interests of any first tier Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is a CFC (and none of the Equity Interests
of any Subsidiary of such CFC or any Domestic Subsidiary which is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that solely owns security interests in one or more CFCs) shall be required to be pledged as Collateral if pledging
a greater amount would result in adverse tax consequences or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such pledge or perfecting the security interests created thereby are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrower
in relation to the benefits of Agent and the Lenders of the security or guaranty afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Agent shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary). 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not take a security interest in those assets as to which Agent shall determine, in its
reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax) are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby.

 Borrowers shall, or
shall cause the applicable Loan Party to, promptly deliver a Phase I environmental assessment report with respect to any Material Real Property acquired after the Closing Date from an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to Agent. In

Required Lenders from time to time, provide to the Lenders within 60 days after such request, at the expense of Borrowers, an environmental site assessment report for any of its Material Real Properties described in such request, prepared by an
environmental consulting firm acceptable to Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the estimated cost of any compliance, removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Materials on such properties; without

report at the expense of Borrowers, and each Borrower hereby grants and agrees to cause any Subsidiary that owns any property described in such request to grant at the time of such request to Agent, the Lenders, such firm and any agents or

reasonable period of time following the request to do so, such Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Loan Party’s or its Subsidiary’s name, as applicable, and authorizes Agent to file

inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing

 Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of

Indemnification. 
 Borrowers shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related
Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs,
penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and
when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery (provided that
Borrowers shall not be liable for costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) of any Lender (other than WFCF) incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering or syndicating the Loan Documents), enforcement, performance, or
administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’
compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided, however, that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall not extend to (i) disputes solely between or among the Lenders or (ii) disputes solely between or
among the Lenders and their respective Affiliates; it being understood and agreed that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall extend to disputes relating to any action or omission of a Loan Party, and to Agent (but not the Lenders)
relative to disputes between or among Agent on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand, or (iii) any Taxes or any costs attributable to Taxes, which shall governed by Section 16),
(b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party
thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased
or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any 

  
 -67-

 
such assets or properties of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Borrower shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person
makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which any Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be
indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY
NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

	13.	ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 

 13.1. Assignments and Participations. 
 (a) With the prior written
consent of Administrative Borrower, which consent of Administrative Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (2) in
connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender and with the prior written consent of Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall
not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees so long as such prospective assignee is an Eligible
Transferee (each, an “Assignee”; provided, however, that no Loan Party, Affiliate of a Loan Party, Fidelity or Affiliate of Fidelity shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the
Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment or
delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to
all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000); provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written
notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its
Assignee have delivered to Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived by Agent, the
assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $5,000. 

(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrowers) that it has received an executed
Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with 

  
 -70-

 
respect to Section 10.3) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning
Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.9(a). 

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and
agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such
assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement
are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if
applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the
resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its
Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall
remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender
hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent, 

  
 -71-

 
and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except
to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce
the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan
Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of
default interest), or (E) decreases the amount or postpones the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest
were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the Collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to
participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. 
 (f) In connection with any such assignment
or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all
documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Borrower and their Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. 
 (g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in
favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under
applicable law. 
 (h) Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a
register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Revolver Commitments (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a
“Registered Loan”). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Revolver Commitments to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan
(and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or 

  
 -72-

 
in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by
(or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose
name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of
any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Revolver Commitment to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall
maintain a register comparable to the Register. 
 (i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan,
such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest
thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part
only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by
the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 
 (j) Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each
Lender shall make a copy of its Participant Register in the extent it has one) available for review by Borrowers from time to time as Borrowers may reasonably request. 
 13.2. Successors. 
 This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited
assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and
thereunder pursuant to Section 13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 

  
 -73-

	14.	AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 

14.1. Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements or the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect to any
departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and then any such
waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the
Lenders directly affected thereby and all of the Loan Parties that are party thereto, do any of the following: 
 (i) increase
the amount of or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender or amend, modify, or eliminate the last sentence of Section 2.4(c)(i),

fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except (y) in connection with the waiver of applicability of Section 2.6(c) (which waiver shall be effective with the written consent of the Required
Lenders), and (z) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or a reduction of fees for purposes of this clause (iii)),

 (iv) amend, modify, or eliminate this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or other action by
all Lenders, 
 (v) other than as permitted by Section 15.11, release Agent’s Lien in and to any of the
Collateral, 
 (vi) amend, modify, or eliminate the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”,

other Loan Documents, 
 (ix) amend, modify, or eliminate any of the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(i) or
(ii), 

  
 -74-

 (x) amend, modify, or eliminate any of the provisions of Section 13.1(a) to
permit a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party to be permitted to become an Assignee, or 
 (xi) amend, modify, or
eliminate the definition of Borrowing Base or any of the defined terms (including the definitions of Eligible Accounts, and Eligible Inventory,) that are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made
available to Borrowers based upon the Borrowing Base, but not otherwise, or the definition of Maximum Revolver Amount. 
 (b) No
amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive (i) the definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, without the written consent of Agent and Borrowers (and shall not require the
written consent of any of the Lenders), and (ii) any provision of Section 15 pertaining to Agent, or any other rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Agent,
Borrowers, and the Required Lenders, 
 (c) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or
waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Issuing Lender, or any other rights or duties of Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Issuing Lender, Agent,
Borrowers, and the Required Lenders, 
 (d) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or
waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Swing Lender, or any other rights or duties of Swing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Swing Lender, Agent,
Borrowers, and the Required Lenders, 
 (e) Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i) any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among
themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of any Borrower, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Loan Party, and (ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender. 
 14.2. Replacement of Certain Lenders. 
 (a) If (i) any action
to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but
not of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 16, then Borrowers or Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any
Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement (a “Holdout Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender

  
 -75-

 
or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for
such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. 
 (b) Prior to the
effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, being repaid in
full its share of the outstanding Obligations (without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever, but including (i) all interest, fees and other amounts that may be due in payable in respect thereof, and (ii) an assumption of its Pro
Rata Share of the Letters of Credit). If the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, Agent may, but shall not be
required to, execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance in the name or and on behalf of the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and irrespective of whether Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance, the Holdout
Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the terms of
Section 13.1. Until such time as one or more Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s or Tax Lender’s, as applicable, Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of
Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit. 
 14.3. No Waivers; Cumulative
Remedies. 
 No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by
Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by each Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have. 
  

	15.	AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 

15.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agent. 
 Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFCF as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement,
each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each
other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 

  
 -76-

 
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this
Section 15. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other
Loan Documents, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative
relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to act as the secured party under each of the
Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights
or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the
Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business
practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) 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 the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents,
(d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and
appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the
Lender Group with respect to Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay
such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 15.2. Delegation of Duties. 
 Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 -77-

 15.3. Liability of Agent. 

None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers)
for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank
Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Borrower
or its Subsidiaries. 
 15.4. Reliance by Agent. 

Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting,
as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required
Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank Product Providers). 
 15.5. Notice of Default or Event of Default. 
 Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and,
except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default,
such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of 

  
 -78-

 
Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default
or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 

15.6. Credit Decision. 
 Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review
of the affairs of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank
Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank
regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product
Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person
party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that Agent does not
have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to any
Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date
on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement). 

15.7. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. 
 Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the
Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, 

  
 -79-

 
fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards
or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient
amounts from the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is
not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand
for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lenders shall be liable and indemnify Agent-Related Persons only for Indemnified Liabilities and other costs and expenses that relate to or
arise from an Agent-Related Person acting as or for Agent (in such capacity as Agent). The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 

15.8. Agent in Individual Capacity. 
 WFCF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though WFCF were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or
consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, WFCF or
its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure
of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of
a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such 

  
 -80-

 
information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFCF in its individual capacity. 
 15.9. Successor Agent. 
 Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days
prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If Agent resigns under this
Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a
successor Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation
as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to cause the Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swing Loans. If no successor
Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Administrative Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material
provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of
Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of
the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days
following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. 
 15.10. Lender in Individual Capacity. 

Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide
Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan
Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group (or the Bank Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product
Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan
Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each
Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such 

  
 -81-

 
circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any
obligation to provide such information to them. 
 15.11. Collateral Matters. 

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed
to authorize) Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a
release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
(iii) constituting property in which no Borrower and no Subsidiary of any Borrower owned any interest at the time Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to any Borrower or its
Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider
shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) or to sell or otherwise dispose of (or to consent to any such sale or
other disposition of) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by Agent under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and
deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product
Providers), or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by Agent or any Borrower at any time, the Lenders will (and if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will)
confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11; provided, however, that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any
document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty,
and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by any Borrower,
including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. The Lenders further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to
authorize) Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures purchase money Indebtedness
permitted hereunder. 
 (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) to
assure that the Collateral exists or is owned a Borrower or a 

  
 -82-

 
Borrower’s Subsidiary or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected,
or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof or whether to impose, maintain, reduce, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or
whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not, 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 Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any
manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider)
as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. 
 15.12. Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of
Payments. 
 (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it
shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of any Borrower or its
Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any
legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against any Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral
or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the
account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed
to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing
party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without
interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 
 15.13. Agency for Perfection. 
 Agent hereby appoints each other
Lender (and each Bank Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of

  
 -83-

 
perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession
or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. 

15.14. Payments by Agent to the Lenders. 
 All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may
designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations. 

15.15. Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. 

Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of
the Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the
Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider). 

15.16. Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. 

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

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report,
and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the
Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding a Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon each
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of each Borrower’s personnel, 

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding each Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their
operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.9, and 

  
 -84-

 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold 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 Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and
(ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and
costs) incurred by 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. 

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any
report or document provided by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a
copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably
request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of such Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof
from such Borrower or its Subsidiaries, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to any Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each
Lender. 
 15.17. Several Obligations; No Liability. 

Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its
capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable
basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any
interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to
the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall
have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit
available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

  
 -85-

	16.	WITHHOLDING TAXES. 

 (a)
All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for, any present or future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrowers shall comply with the next sentence of this Section 16(a). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrowers agree to pay the
full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16(a) after
withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from
Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrowers will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant
to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrowers. 
 (b) Borrowers agree to pay any
present or future stamp, value added tax on an extension of credit made to a Borrower by a Lender or Agent or any other value added tax on any costs or expenses incurred by a Lender or Agent pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such
Lender or Agent reasonably determines it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such value added tax from the relevant taxing authority), documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from
any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from a Lender’s
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 13.1(a), grant of a participating interest to a Participant pursuant to Section 13.1(e), transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable lending office or other
office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”), except for Assignment Taxes resulting from an assignment requested or required in writing by the Borrowers or amounts that would have
otherwise been payable had no assignment or participation occurred. 
 (c) If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an
exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the following
before receiving its first payment under this Agreement: 
 (i) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption
from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exemption, (A) a statement of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); 

  
 -86-

 (ii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction
of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN; 
 (iii) if
such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and
executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (iv) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this
Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); or 

(v) a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other
laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit any Borrower or Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon
the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrowers and Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers or Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not
legally able to deliver. 
 (e) If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than
the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Borrowers and Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law
of when reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Agent) and before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of,
foreign withholding or backup withholding tax and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrowers or Agent, as the case may 

  
 -87-

 
be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and
(C) such Lender’s or Participant’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender or Participant, as applicable, by Borrowers pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, but only if such
Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16(d) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential
(including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (f) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the
Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is
no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to
Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d), if applicable. Each Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth
in this Section 16 with respect thereto. 
 (g) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the
applicable withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after
taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 16(c) or 16(d) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in
the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

 (h) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent (or,
in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from,
or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent 

  
 -88-

 
harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or,
in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to
the Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the
payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 
 (i) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its
discretion acting in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrowers (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 16 with respect to Taxes giving
rise to such a refund), net of all commercially reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund);
provided, that Borrowers, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest
or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other
Person.

 17.4. Severability of Provisions. 

Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision. 
 17.5. Bank Product Providers. 

Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for
purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider
shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist
exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set
forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or
release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not; provided, that
with respect solely to Bank of America, N.A., to the extent reserves are established in respect of Bank Products provided by Bank of America, N.A. or one of its Affiliates, Agent shall increase such reserve to reflect an increase in the
mark-to-market reserve so long as Bank of America, N.A. has provided written notice thereof to Agent. Bank of America, N.A. hereby agrees to provide written notice to Agent of any such increase in the mark-to-market reserve on a monthly basis in
accordance with each applicable Bank Product Provider Letter Agreement. In addition, Agent shall not be obligated to establish or increase a Bank Product Reserve for any Bank Product unless after giving effect to such establishment increase, the sum
of the Bank Product Reserves established for all Bank Products consisting of Swap Contracts does not exceed the Aggregate Bank Product Reserve Amount. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be
entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to
it and such written certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon
the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is
the amount last certified to Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Any Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although
no Borrower is required to do so. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute
discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank 

  
 -90-

 
Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing
thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating
to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors. 
 17.6. Debtor-Creditor Relationship. 

The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and
debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or
joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein. 

17.7. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission 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 telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission 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. 

17.8. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. 
 If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or
voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property
(each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable
Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrowers or Guarantor automatically
shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 
 17.9.
Confidentiality. 
 (a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that
material, non-public information regarding Borrowers and their 

  
 -91-

 
Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential
manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to
employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such
information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.9, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be
required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Administrative Borrower with prior notice
thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order,
rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation,
(v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrowers, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause
(vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrowers with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Borrowers
pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such
subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives), (viii) in
connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive
such Confidential Information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to
the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective
counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any Borrower, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrowers with
prior written notice thereof, and (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. 

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may (i) provide information concerning the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and reporting services, and (ii) use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrowers and Loan Parties and the Total Commitments provided hereunder in

  
 -92-

 
any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of the Agent. 
 17.10. Lender Group Expenses. 
 Borrowers agree to pay any and all
Lender Group Expenses on the earlier of (a) the first day of each month or (b) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent and agrees that its obligations contained in this Section 17.10 shall survive payment or
satisfaction in full of all other Obligations. 
 17.11. Survival. 

All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered
in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, the Issuing Lender, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 
 17.12. Patriot Act. 
 Each Lender that is subject to the
requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

17.13. Integration. 
 This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by
any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which
will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement.

 17.14. Remy International as Agent for Borrowers. 

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Remy International as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the
“Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written 

  
 -93-

 
notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Borrower (a) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement, including without
limitation, any and all notices with respect to the Maximum Revolver Increase Amount, and (b) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation
to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects
to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.
To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability,
expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers as herein
provided, or (b) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under this Section 17.14
with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

 Schedule 1.1
– Page 5 

 Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, the Base Rate Margin shall be based upon the
most recent Monthly Average Excess Availability Amount, which will be calculated as of the end of each fiscal month. Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, the Base Rate Margin shall be re-determined monthly on the first Business Day after

Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Financial Service Center (ORFSC) VIPERS. To access and use VIPERS, you must enroll at https://finweb.oro.doe.gov/vipers.htm. Detailed instructions on how to
enroll are provided on the web site. 
 For non-construction awards, you must submit a Standard Form (SF) 270, “Request for Advance or
Reimbursement” at https://finweb.oro.doe.gov/vipers.htm and attach a file containing appropriate supporting documentation. The file attachment must show the total federal share claimed on the SF 270, the non-federal share claimed for the
billing period if cost sharing is required, and cumulative expenditures to date (both Federal and non-Federal) for each of the following categories: salaries/wages and fringe benefits; equipment; travel; participant/training support costs, if any;
other direct costs, including subawards/contracts; and indirect costs. For construction awards, you must submit a SF 271, “Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs,” through VIPERS. 

c. Timing of submittals. Submittal of the SF 270 or SF 271 should coincide with your normal billing pattern, but not more frequently than every two
weeks. Requests for reimbursement must be limited to the amount of disbursements made during the billing period for the federal share of direct project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs incurred during that billing
period. 
 d. Adjusting payment requests for available cash. You must disburse any funds that are available from repayments to and interest
earned on a revolving fund, program income, rebates, refunds, contract settlements, audit recoveries, credits, discounts, and interest earned on any of those funds before requesting additional cash payments from DOE/NNSA. 

e. Payments. The DOE approving official will approve the invoice as soon as practicable but not later than 30 days after your request is received, unless
the billing is improper. Upon receipt of an invoice payment authorization from the DOE approving official, the ORFSC will disburse payment to you. You may check the status of your payments at the VIPER web site. All payments are made by electronic
funds transfer to the bank account identified on the ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form (SF 3881) that you filed. 
 COST
SHARING FFRDC’S NOT INVOLVED 
 a. Total Estimated Project Cost is the sum of the Government share and Recipient share of the estimated
project costs. The Recipient’s cost share must come from non-Federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law. By accepting Federal funds under this award, you agree that you are liable for your percentage share of total allowable project costs,
on a budget period basis, even if the project is terminated early or is not funded to its completion. This cost is shared as follows: 
  

													
	 Budget Period
	  	Government 
Share
$/%	 	 	Recipient Share
$/%	 	 	Total Estimated Cost	 
	 1 – Phase I
	  	$	35,944,500 / 50	% 	 	$	35,944,500 / 50	% 	 	$	71,889,000	  
	 1 – Phase II
	  	$	24,255,500 / 50	% 	 	$	24,255,500 / 50	% 	 	$	48,511,000	  
	 Total
	  	$	60,200,000 / 50	% 	 	$	60,200,000 / 50	% 	 	$	120,400,000	  

 b. If you discover that you may be
unable to provide cost sharing of at least the amount identified in paragraph a of this article, you should immediately provide written notification to the DOE Award Administrator indicating whether you will continue or phase out the project. If you
plan to continue the project, the notification must describe how replacement cost sharing will be secured. 
 c. You must maintain records of
all project costs that you claim as cost sharing, including in-kind costs, as well as records of costs to be paid by DOE/NNSA. Such records are subject to audit. 
 d. Failure to provide the cost sharing required by this Article may result in the subsequent recovery by DOE/NNSA of some or all the funds provided under the award.

		  		  	Amendment 001

  

 PRE-AWARD COSTS 
 You are entitled to reimbursement for costs incurred on or after July 31, 2009 if such costs are allowable in accordance with the applicable Federal cost principles referenced in 10 CFR part 600 and
the terms of this award (including the NEPA Requirements provision). 
 REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS - REIMBURSABLE INDIRECT
COSTS AND FRINGE BENEFITS 
 a. If actual allowable indirect costs are less than those budgeted and funded under the award, you may use the
difference to pay additional allowable direct costs during the project period. If at the completion of the award the Government’s share of total allowable costs (i.e., direct and indirect), is less than the total costs reimbursed, you must
refund the difference. 
 b. Recipients are expected to manage their indirect costs. DOE will not amend an award solely to provide additional
funds for changes in indirect cost rates. DOE recognizes that the inability to obtain full reimbursement for indirect costs means the recipient must absorb the underrecovery. Such underrecovery may be allocated as part of the organization’s
required cost sharing. 
 USE OF PROGRAM INCOME – COST SHARING 
 If you earn program income during the project period as a result of this award, you may use the program income to meet your cost sharing requirement. 

STATEMENT OF FEDERAL STEWARDSHIP 

DOE/NNSA will exercise normal Federal stewardship in overseeing the project activities performed under this award. Stewardship activities include, but are
not limited to, conducting site visits; reviewing performance and financial reports; providing technical assistance and/or temporary intervention in unusual circumstances to correct deficiencies which develop during the project; assuring compliance
with terms and conditions; and reviewing technical performance after project completion to ensure that the award objectives have been accomplished.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO WORK FUNDED UNDER AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 (Mar 2009) 

Preamble 
 The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, (Recovery Act) was enacted to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, assist those most impacted by the recession, provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological
advances in science and health, invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits, stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in
essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases. Recipients shall use grant funds in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefit. 
 The Recipient shall comply with all terms and conditions in the Recovery Act relating generally to governance, accountability, transparency, data collection and resources as specified in Act itself and as
discussed below. 
 Recipients should begin planning activities for their first tier subrecipients, including obtaining a DUNS number (or
updating the existing DUNS record), and registering with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). 
 Be advised that Recovery Act funds can be
used in conjunction with other funding as necessary to complete projects, but tracking and reporting must be separate to meet the reporting requirements of the Recovery Act and related guidance. For projects funded by sources other than the Recovery
Act, Contractors must keep separate records for Recovery Act funds and to ensure those records comply with the requirements of the Act. 
 The
Government has not fully developed the implementing instructions of the Recovery Act, particularly concerning specific procedural requirements for the new reporting requirements. The Recipient will be provided these details as they become available.
The Recipient must comply with all requirements of the Act. If the recipient believes there is any inconsistency between ARRA requirements and current award terms and conditions, the issues will be referred to the Contracting Officer for
reconciliation. 
 Definitions 
 For
purposes of this clause, Covered Funds means funds expended or obligated from appropriations under 

  
 Page 7 of 19

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5. Covered Funds will have special accounting codes and will be identified as Recovery Act funds in the grant, cooperative
agreement or TIA and/or modification using Recovery Act funds. Covered Funds must be reimbursed by September 30, 2015. 
 Non-Federal
employer means any employer with respect to covered funds — the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient, as the case may be, if the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient is an employer; and any professional membership
organization, certification of other professional body, any agent or licensee of the Federal government, or any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer receiving covered funds; or with respect to covered funds received by
a State or local government, the State or local government receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor of the State or local government; and does not mean any department, agency, or
other entity of the federal government.

(including Recovery Act funds received through grant, loan, or contract) other than an individual and includes a State that receives Recovery Act Funds. 
 Special Provisions 
 A. Flow Down Requirement 

Recipients must include these special terms and conditions in any subaward. 
 B. Segregation of Costs 
 Recipients must segregate the obligations and expenditures related to
funding under the Recovery Act. Financial and accounting systems should be revised as necessary to segregate, track and maintain these funds apart and separate from other revenue streams. No part of the funds from the Recovery Act shall be
commingled with any other funds or used for a purpose other than that of making payments for costs allowable for Recovery Act projects. 
 C.
Prohibition on Use of Funds 
 None of the funds provided under this agreement derived from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
Pub. L. 111-5, may be used by any State or local government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or swimming pool. 
 D. Access to Records 
 With respect to each financial assistance agreement awarded utilizing at
least some of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, any representative of an appropriate inspector general appointed under section 3 or 8G of the Inspector General
Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. App.) or of the Comptroller General is authorized — 
 (1) to examine any records of the
contractor or grantee, any of its subcontractors or subgrantees, or any State or local agency administering such contract that pertain to, and involve transactions that relate to, the subcontract, subcontract, grant, or subgrant; and 

(2) to interview any officer or employee of the contractor, grantee, subgrantee, or agency regarding such transactions. 

E. Publication 
 An application may contain
technical data and other data, including trade secrets and/or privileged or confidential information, which the applicant does not want disclosed to the public or used by the Government for any purpose other than the application. To protect such
data, the applicant should specifically identify each page including each line or paragraph thereof containing the data to be protected

 F. Protecting State and Local Government and Contractor Whistleblowers. 

The requirements of Section 1553 of the Act are summarized below. They include, but are not limited to: 

Prohibition on Reprisals: An employee of any non-Federal employer receiving covered funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub.
L. 111-5, may not be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against as a reprisal for disclosing, including a disclosure made in the ordinary course of an employee’s duties, to the Accountability and Transparency Board, an inspector
general, the Comptroller General, a member of Congress, a State or Federal regulatory or law enforcement agency, a person with supervisory authority over the employee (or other person working for the employer who has the authority to investigate,
discover or terminate misconduct), a court or grand jury, the head of a Federal agency, or their representatives information that the employee believes is evidence of: 
  

	 	•	 	 gross mismanagement of an agency contract or grant relating to covered funds; 

 

	 	•	 	 a gross waste of covered funds; 

  

	 	•	 	 a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety related to the implementation or use of covered funds;

	 	•	 	 as violation of law, rule, or regulation related to an agency contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant, awarded
or issued relating to covered funds. 

 Agency Action: Not later than 30 days after receiving an inspector general report of
an alleged reprisal, the head of the agency shall determine whether there is sufficient basis to conclude that the non-Federal employer has subjected the employee to a prohibited reprisal. The agency shall either issue an order denying relief in
whole or in part or shall take one or more of the following actions: 
  

	 	•	 	 Order the employer to take affirmative action to abate the reprisal. 

 

	 	•	 	 Order the employer to reinstate the person to the position that the person held before the reprisal, together with compensation including back pay,
compensatory damages, employment benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment that would apply to the person in that position if the reprisal had not been taken. 

 

	 	•	 	 Order the employer to pay the employee an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expert
witnesses’ fees) that were reasonably incurred by the employee for or in connection with, bringing the complaint regarding the reprisal, as determined by the head of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Nonenforceablity of Certain Provisions Waiving Rights and remedies or Requiring Arbitration: Except as provided in a collective bargaining agreement, the
rights and remedies provided to aggrieved employees by this section may not be waived by any agreement, policy, form, or condition of employment, including any predispute arbitration agreement. No predispute arbitration agreement shall be valid or
enforceable if it requires arbitration of a dispute arising out of this section.

or in part by the Recovery Act. 
 (c) Recipients and their first-tier recipients must maintain current registrations in the Central Contractor
Registration (http://www.ccr.gov) at all times during which they have active federal awards funded with Recovery Act funds. A Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number (http://www.dnb.com) is one of the requirements for
registration in the Central Contractor Registration. 
 (d) The recipient shall report the information described in section 1512(c) of the

WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 1606 OF THE RECOVERY ACT 
 (a) Section 1606 of the Recovery Act requires that all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors and subcontractors on projects funded directly by or assisted in whole or in part by and through
the Federal Government pursuant to the Recovery Act shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on projects of a character similar in the locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with subchapter IV of chapter 31
of title 40, United States Code. 
 Pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 14 and the Copeland Act, 40 U.S.C. 3145, the Department of Labor

 Page 10 of 19

					
		  		  	
		  	Not Specified / Other	  	DE-EE0002023
		  		  	Amendment 001

  

 Regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 instruct agencies concerning application of the standard Davis-Bacon contract
clauses set forth in that section. Federal agencies providing grants, cooperative agreements, and loans under the Recovery Act shall ensure that the standard Davis-Bacon contract clauses found in 29 CFR 5.5(a) are incorporated in any resultant
covered contracts that are in excess of $2,000 for construction, alteration or repair (including painting and decorating). 
 (b) For additional
guidance on the wage rate requirements of section 1606, contact your awarding agency. Recipients of grants, cooperative agreements and loans should direct their initial inquiries concerning the application of Davis-Bacon requirements to a particular
federally assisted project to the Federal agency funding the project. The Secretary of Labor retains final coverage authority under Reorganization Plan Number 14. 
 RECOVERY ACT TRANSACTIONS LISTED IN SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS AND RECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR INFORMING SUBRECIPIENTS 
 (a) To maximize the transparency and accountability of funds authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111—5) (Recovery Act) as required by Congress and in
accordance with 2 CFR 215.21 “Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements” and OMB Circular A—102 Common Rules provisions, recipients agree to maintain records that identify adequately the source and application of
Recovery Act funds. OMB Circular A—102 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a102/a102.html. 
 (b) For recipients
covered by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A—133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,” recipients agree to separately identify the expenditures for Federal awards under the
Recovery Act on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form (SF—SAC) required by OMB Circular A—133. OMB Circular A—133 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a133/a133.html.
This shall be accomplished by identifying expenditures for Federal awards made under the Recovery Act separately on the SEFA, and as separate rows under Item 9 of Part III on the SF—SAC by CFDA number, and inclusion of the prefix
“ARRA-” in identifying the name of the Federal program on the SEFA and as the first characters in Item 9d of Part III on the SF—SAC. 
 (c) Recipients agree to separately identify to each subrecipient, and document at the time of subaward and at the time of disbursement of funds, the Federal award number, CFDA number, and amount of
Recovery Act funds. When a recipient awards Recovery Act funds for an existing program, the information furnished to subrecipients shall distinguish the subawards of incremental Recovery Act funds from regular subawards under the existing program.

 (d) Recipients agree to require their subrecipients to include on their SEFA information to specifically identify Recovery Act funding
similar to the requirements for the recipient SEFA described above. This information is needed to allow the recipient to properly monitor subrecipient expenditure of ARRA funds as well as oversight by the Federal awarding agencies, Offices of
Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office.

 (6)
“Subaward” means an award of financial assistance in the form of money, or property in lieu of money, made under an award by a Recipient to an eligible Subrecipient or by a Subrecipient to a lower- tier subrecipient. The term includes

Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3) ), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the
wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics. 

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of
laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often

benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the
rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination
(including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a
prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and 

(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the
wage determination. 
 (B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or
their representatives, and the Contracting Officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and
so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. 
 (C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage
rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting Officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Administrator
for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary. 
 (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii)(B) or
(C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this Contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. 

(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the Contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is
not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.

 (iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the
Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the
written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or
program. 
 (2) Withholding. The Department of Energy or the Recipient or Subrecipient shall upon its own action or upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this Contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract
subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers,
employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the Contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or
under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the Contract, the Department of Energy, Recipient, or Subrecipient, may, after
written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. 

(3) Payrolls and basic records. 
 (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics
working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each
such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the
Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan
or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the
ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. 
 (ii) (A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in
which any Contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Department of Energy if the agency is a party to the Contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the payrolls to the Recipient or Subrecipient (as
applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Department of Energy. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i),
except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead

		  	Not Specified / Other	  	DE-EE0002023
		  		  	Amendment 001

  

 
the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly
payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime Contractor is
responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the
Department of Energy if the agency is a party to the Contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit them to the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for
transmission to the Department of Energy, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a
prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the Recipient or Subrecipient (as
applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner). 
 (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of
Compliance,” signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the Contract and shall certify the following: 

(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations,
29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete; 
 (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the Contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either
directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3; 

(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the
classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the Contract. 
 (C) The
weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.

 (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal
prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 3729 of title 31 of the United States Code. 
 (iii) The Contractor or
subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Department of Energy or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such
representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the Contractor, sponsor,
applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any

		  	Not Specified / Other	  	DE-EE0002023
		  		  	Amendment 001

  

 
further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to
29 CFR 5.12. 
 (4) Apprentices and trainees— 
 (i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a
person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training,
Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be
greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a Contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines
that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is
approved. 
 (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an
apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee

		  	Not Specified / Other	  	DE-EE0002023
		  		  	Amendment 001

  

 
rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined
rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. 
 (iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of
apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended and 29 CFR part 30. 

(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated
by reference in this Contract. 
 (6) Contracts and Subcontracts. The Recipient, Subrecipient, the Recipient’s and
Subrecipient’s contractors and subcontractor shall insert in any Contracts the clauses contained herein in(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Department of Energy may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause
requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The Recipient shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of the paragraphs in this clause. 

(7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the Contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the Contract, and
for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. 
 (8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act
requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this Contract. 
 (9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such disputes shall
be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Recipient, Subrecipient, the Contractor (or any of its
subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. 
 (10)
Certification of eligibility. 
 (i) By entering into this Contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor
any person or firm who has an interest in the Contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). 

(ii) No part of this Contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of
section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). 
 (iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the
U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001. 
 (b) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers
and mechanics include watchmen and guards.

		  		  	Amendment 001

  

 (1) Overtime requirements. No Contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of
the Contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek
unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek. 

(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1)
of this section the Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such Contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the
District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation
of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages
required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. 
 (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages.
The Department of Energy or the Recipient or Subrecipient shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work
performed by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime Contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by
the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such Contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.

 (4) Contracts and Subcontracts. The Recipient, Subrecipient, and Recipient’s and Subrecipient’s contractor or
subcontractor shall insert in any Contracts, the clauses set forth in paragraph (b)(1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The Recipient shall be
responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section. 
 (5) The Contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during the course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the completion of the Contract
for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, working on the Contract. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such employee, social security number, correct classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and
weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. The records to be maintained under this paragraph shall be made available by the Contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the Department of Energy and the Department of Labor, and the Contractor or subcontractor will permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job.

 (3) Removal of copyright notices. The Government agrees not to remove any
copyright notices placed on data pursuant to this paragraph (c), and to include such notices on all reproductions of the data. 
 (d) Release,
Publication and Use of Data 
 (1) The Receipt shall have the right to use, release to others, reproduce, distribute, or publish

Contracting Officer. 
 (e) Unauthorized Marking of Data 
 (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement concerning inspection or acceptance, if any data delivered under this agreement are marked with the notices specified in subparagraph (g)(2) or
(g)(3) of this clause and use of such is not authorized by this clause, or if such data bears any other restrictive or limiting markings not authorized by this agreement, the Contracting Officer may at any time either return the data to the
Recipient or cancel or ignore the markings. However, the following procedures shall apply prior to canceling or ignoring the markings. 
 (i) The Contracting Officer shall make written inquiry to the Recipient affording the Recipient 30 days from receipt of the inquiry to provide written justification to substantiate the propriety of the
markings; 
 (ii) If the Recipient fails to respond or fails to provide written justification to substantiate the propriety
of the markings within the 30-day period (or a longer time not exceeding 90 days approved in writing by the Contracting Officer for good cause shown), the Government shall have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time after said period
and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions. 
 (iii) If the Recipient provides written
justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings within the period set in subdivision (e)(1)(i) of this clause, the Contracting Officer shall consider such written justification and determine whether or not the markings are to be
cancelled or ignored. If the Contracting Officer determines that the markings are authorized, the Recipient shall be so notified in writing. If the Contracting Officer determines, with concurrence of the head of the contracting activity, that the
markings are not authorized, the Contracting Officer shall furnish the Recipient a written determination, which determination shall become the final agency decision regarding the appropriateness of the markings unless the Recipient files suit in a
court of competent jurisdiction within 90 days of receipt of the Contracting Officer’s decision. The Government shall continue to abide by the markings under this subdivision (e)(1)(iii) until final resolution of the matter either by the
Contracting Officer’s determination become final (in which instance the Government shall thereafter have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions), or by
final disposition of the matter by court decision if suit is filed. 

 (2) The time limits in the procedures set forth in subparagraph (e)(1) of this clause may be
modified in accordance with agency regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) if necessary to respond to a request thereunder. 
 (f) Omitted or Incorrect Markings 
 (1) Data delivered to the Government without
either the limited rights or restricted rights notice as authorized by paragraph (g) of this clause, or the copyright notice required by paragraph (c) of this clause, shall be deemed to have been furnished with unlimited rights, and the
Government assumes no liability for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of such data. However, to the extent the data has not been disclosed without restriction outside the Government, the Recipient may request, within 6 months (or a longer time
approved by the Contracting Officer for good cause shown) after delivery of such data, permission to have notices placed on qualifying data at the Recipient’s expense, and the Contracting Officer may agree to do so if the Recipient—

 (i) Identifies the data to which the omitted notice is to be applied; 

(ii) Demonstrates that the omission of the notice was inadvertent; 

(iii) Establishes that the use of the proposed notice is authorized; and 

(iv) Acknowledges that the Government has no liability with respect to the disclosure, use, or reproduction of any such data made
prior to the addition of the notice or resulting from the omission of the notice. 
 (2) The Contracting Officer may also:

 (i) Permit correction at the Recipient’s expense of incorrect notices if the Recipient identifies the data on which
correction of the notice is to be made, and demonstrates that the correct notice is authorized; or 
 (ii) Correct any
incorrect notices. 
 (g) Rights to Protected Data 
 (1) The Recipient may, with the concurrence of DOE, claim and mark as protected data, any data first produced in the performance of this award that would have been treated as a trade secret if developed
at private expense. Any such claimed “protected data” will be clearly marked with the following Protected Rights Notice, and will be treated in accordance with such Notice, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f) of
this clause. 
 PROTECTED RIGHTS NOTICE 

These protected data were produced under agreement no. DE-EE0002023 with the U.S. Department of Energy and may not be published, disseminated, or
disclosed to others outside the Government until five (5) years from date of disclosure, unless express written authorization is obtained from the recipient. Upon expiration of the period of protection set forth in this Notice, the Government
shall have unlimited rights in this data. This Notice shall be marked on any reproduction of this data, in whole or in part. 
 (End of notice).

 (2) Any such marked Protected Data may be disclosed under obligations of confidentiality for the following purposes:

 (a) For evaluation purposes under the restriction that the “Protected Data” be retained in confidence and not
be further disclosed; or 
 (b) To subcontractors or other team members performing work under the Government’s Vehicle
Technologies program 
 (3) The obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on publication and dissemination shall end
for any Protected Data. 
 (a) At the end of the protected period; 

(b) If the data becomes publicly known or available from other sources without a breach of the obligation of confidentiality with respect
to the Protected Data;

Administration. For the purpose of this clause, the size standards for small business concerns involved in Government procurement and subcontracting at 13 CFR 121.3-8 and 13 CFR 121.3-12, respectively, will be used. 

Subject invention means any invention of the Contractor conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the course of or under
this contract, provided that in the case of a variety of plant, the date of determination (as defined in section 41(d) of the Plant Variety Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 2401(d)) must also occur during the period of contract performance. 

(b) Allocation of principal rights. 
 Whereas DOE has granted a waiver of rights to subject inventions to the Contractor, the Contractor may elect to retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to each subject invention
subject to the provisions of this clause and 35 U.S.C. “202 and 203. With respect to any subject invention in which the Contractor elects to retain title, the Federal Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up
license to practice or have practiced for or on behalf of the United States the subject invention throughout the world. 
 (c) Invention
disclosure, election of title, and filing of patent applications by Contractor. 
 (1) The Contractor shall disclose each
subject invention to the Patent Counsel within six months after conception or first actual reduction to practice, whichever occurs first in the course of or under this contract, but in any event, prior to any sale, public use, or public disclosure
of such invention known to the Contractor. The disclosure to the Patent Counsel shall be in the form of a written report and shall identify the inventors and the contract under which the invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in
technical detail to convey a clear understanding, to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the nature, purpose, operation, and physical, chemical, biological, or electrical characteristics of the

 
invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale, or public use of the invention and whether a manuscript describing the invention has been submitted for publication and, if
so, whether it has been accepted for publication at the time of disclosure. In addition, after disclosure to the Patent Counsel, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Patent Counsel of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the invention for
publication or of any on sale or public use planned by the Contractor. 
 (2) The Contractor shall elect in writing whether or
not to retain title to any such invention by notifying the Patent Counsel at the time of disclosure or within 8 months of disclosure, as to those countries (including the United States) in which the Contractor will retain title; provided, that in
any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period of election of title may be shortened by the Agency to a date that is
no more than 60 days prior to the end of the statutory period. The Contractor shall notify the Patent Counsel as to those countries (including the United States) in which the Contractor will retain title not later than 60 days prior to the end of
the statutory period. 
 (3) The Contractor shall file its United States patent application on an elected invention within 1
year after election, but not later than at least 60 days prior to the end of any statutory period wherein valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States after a publication, on sale, or public use. The Contractor shall file patent
applications in additional countries (including the European Patent Office and under the Patent Cooperation Treaty) within either 10 months of the corresponding initial patent application or 6 months from the date permission is granted by the
Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks to file foreign patent applications where foreign filing has been prohibited by a Secrecy Order. 
 (4) Requests for extension of the time for disclosure to the Patent Counsel, election, and filing may, at the discretion of DOE, be granted, and will normally be granted unless the Patent Counsel has
reason to believe that a particular extension would prejudice the Government’s interest. 
 (d) Conditions when the Government may obtain
title notwithstanding an existing waiver. 
 The Contractor shall convey to DOE, upon written request, title to any subject
invention— 
 (1) If the Contractor elects not to retain title to a subject invention; 

(2) If the Contractor fails to disclose or elect the subject invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause
(provided that DOE may only request title within 60 days after learning of the Contractor’s failure to report or elect within the specified times); 
 (3) In those countries in which the Contractor fails to file patent applications within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause; provided, however, that if the Contractor has filed a
patent application in a country after the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause, but prior to its receipt of the written request of DOE, the Contractor shall continue to retain title in that country; 

(4) In any country in which the Contractor decides not to continue the prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance
fees on, or defend in reexamination or opposition proceeding on, a patent on a subject invention; or 
 (5) If the waiver
authorizing the use of this clause is terminated as provided in paragraph (p) of this clause. 
 (e) Minimum rights to Contractor when the
Government retains title. 
 (1) The Contractor shall retain a nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each
subject invention to which the Government obtains title under paragraph (d) of this clause except if the Contractor fails to disclose the subject invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause. The Contractor’s
license extends to its domestic subsidiaries and affiliates, if any, within the corporate structure of which the Contractor is a part and includes the right to grant sublicenses of the same scope to the extent the Contractor was legally obligated to
do so at the time the contract was awarded. The license is transferable only with the approval of DOE except when transferred to the successor of that part of the Contractor’s business to which the invention pertains. 

(2) The Contractor’s domestic license may be revoked or modified by DOE to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical
application of the subject invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive license submitted in accordance with applicable provisions in 37 CFR part 404 and DOE licensing regulations. This license shall not be

 
revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which the Contractor has achieved practical application and continues to make the benefits of the invention reasonably accessible to the
public. The license in any foreign country may be revoked or modified at the discretion of DOE to the extent the Contractor, its licensees, or its domestic subsidiaries or affiliates have failed to achieve practical application in that foreign
country. 
 (3) Before revocation or modification of the license, DOE shall furnish the Contractor a written notice of its
intention to revoke or modify the license, and the Contractor shall be allowed 30 days (or such other time as may be authorized by DOE for good cause shown by the Contractor) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or
modified. The Contractor has the right to appeal, in accordance with applicable agency licensing regulations and 37 CFR part 404 concerning the licensing of Government-owned inventions, any decision concerning the revocation or modification of its
license. 
 (f) Contractor action to protect the Government’s interest. 

(1) The Contractor agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly deliver to DOE all instruments necessary to: 

(i) establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those subject inventions to which the
Contractor elects to retain title, and 
 (ii) convey title to DOE when requested under paragraphs (d) and
(n)(2) of this clause, and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection throughout the world in that subject invention. 

(2) The Contractor agrees to require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and nontechnical employees, to disclose
promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in a format suggested by the Contractor each subject invention made under contract in order that the Contractor can comply with the disclosure
provisions of paragraph (c) of this clause, and to execute all papers necessary to file patent applications on subject inventions and to establish the Government’s rights in the subject inventions. This disclosure format should require, as
a minimum, the information required by paragraph (c)(1) of this clause. The Contractor shall instruct such employees through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs on the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to
permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars. 
 (3) The Contractor shall notify DOE of any
decision not to continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceeding on a patent, in any country, not less than 30 days before the expiration of the response period required by
the relevant patent office. 
 (4) The Contractor agrees to include, within the specification of any United States patent
application and any patent issuing thereon covering a subject invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with Government support under (identify the contract) awarded by DOE. The Government has certain rights in this
invention.” 
 (5) The Contractor shall establish and maintain active and effective procedures to assure that subject
inventions are promptly identified and disclosed to Contractor personnel responsible for patent matters within 6 months of conception and/or first actual reduction to practice, whichever occurs first in the course of or under this contract. These
procedures shall include the maintenance of laboratory notebooks or equivalent records and other records as are reasonably necessary to document the conception and/or the first actual reduction to practice of subject inventions, and records that
show that the procedures for identifying and disclosing the inventions are followed. Upon request, the Contractor shall furnish the Patent Counsel a description of such procedures for evaluation and for determination as to their effectiveness.

 (6) The Contractor agrees, when licensing a subject invention, to arrange to avoid royalty charges on acquisitions involving
Government funds, including funds derived through Military Assistance Program of the Government or otherwise derived through the Government; to refund any amounts received as royalty charges on the subject invention in acquisitions for, or on behalf
of, the Government; and to provide for such refund in any instrument transferring rights in the invention to any party. 
 (7)
The Contractor shall furnish the Patent Counsel the following: 

 (i) Interim reports every 12 months (or such longer period as may be
specified by the Patent Counsel) from the date of the contract, listing subject inventions during that period and stating that all subject inventions have been disclosed or that there are no such inventions. 

(ii) A final report, within 3 months after completion of the contracted work, listing all subject inventions or stating
that there were no such inventions, and listing all subcontracts at any tier containing a patent rights clause or certifying that there were no such subcontracts. 
 (8) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Patent Counsel in writing upon the award of any subcontract at any tier containing a patent rights clause by identifying the subcontractor, the applicable
patent rights clause, the work to be performed under the subcontract, and the dates of award and estimated completion. Upon request of the Patent Counsel, the Contractor shall furnish a copy of such subcontract, and no more frequently than annually,
a listing of the subcontracts that have been awarded. 
 (9) The Contractor shall provide, upon request, the filing date, serial
number and title, a copy of the patent application (including an English-language version if filed in a language other than English), and patent number and issue date for any subject invention for which the Contractor has retained title. 

(10)Upon request, the Contractor shall furnish the Government an irrevocable power to inspect and make copies of the patent application
file. 
 (g) Subcontracts. 
 (1) Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall include the clause at 48 CFR 952.227-11, suitably modified to identify the parties, in all subcontracts, regardless of tier,
for experimental, developmental, or research work to be performed by a small business firm or nonprofit organization, except where the work of the subcontract is subject to an Exceptional Circumstances Determination by DOE. In all other
subcontracts, regardless of tier, for experimental, developmental, demonstration, or research work, the Contractor shall include the patent rights clause at 48 CFR 952.227-13 (suitably modified to identify the parties). 

(2) The Contractor shall not, as part of the consideration for awarding the subcontract, obtain rights in the subcontractor’s
subject inventions. 
 (3) In the case of subcontractors at any tier, the Department, the subcontractor, and Contractor agree
that the mutual obligations of the parties created by this clause constitute a contract between the subcontractor and the Department with respect to those matters covered by this clause. 

(4) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing upon the award of any subcontract at any tier containing a
patent rights clause by identifying the subcontractor, the applicable patent rights clause, the work to be performed under the subcontract, and the dates of award and estimated completion. Upon request of the Contracting Officer, the Contracting
Officer shall furnish a copy of such subcontract, and, no more frequently than annually, a listing of the subcontracts that have been awarded. 

(h) Reporting on utilization of subject inventions. 
 The Contractor agrees to submit on request periodic reports no more frequently than annually on the utilization of a subject invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that are being made by
the Contractor and any of its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or use, gross royalties received by the Contractor, and such other data and information
as DOE may reasonably specify. The Contractor also agrees to provide additional reports as may be requested by DOE in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by DOE in accordance with paragraph (j) of this clause. To the extent data
or information supplied under this paragraph is considered by the Contractor, its licensee or assignee to be privileged and confidential and is so marked, DOE agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, it shall not disclose such information to
persons outside the Government. 
 (i) Preference for United States industry. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, the Contractor agrees that neither it
nor any assignee will grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States unless such person agrees that any products embodying the subject invention will be manufactured substantially in the United
States. However, in individual cases, the requirement for such an agreement may be waived by DOE upon a showing by the Contractor or its assignee that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential
licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or that under the circumstances domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible. 
 (j) March-in rights. 
 The Contractor agrees that with respect to any subject
invention in which it has acquired title, DOE has the right in accordance with the procedures in 48 CFR 27.304-1(g) to require the Contractor, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a subject invention to grant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or
exclusive license in any field of use to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if the Contractor, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, DOE has the right to grant such a
license itself if DOE determines that— 
 (1) Such action is necessary because the Contractor or assignee has not taken, or
is not expected to take within a reasonable time, effective steps to achieve practical application of the subject invention in such field of use; 
 (2) Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the Contractor, assignee, or their licensees; 

(3) Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by Federal regulations and such requirements are not
reasonably satisfied by the Contractor, assignee, or licensees; or 
 (4) Such action is necessary because the agreement
required by paragraph (i) of this clause has not been obtained or waived or because a licensee of the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States is in breach of such agreement. 

(k) Background Patents [reserved] 
 (l)
Communications. 
 All reports and notifications required by this clause shall be submitted to the Patent Counsel unless
otherwise instructed. 
 (m) Other inventions. 
 Nothing contained in this clause shall be deemed to grant to the Government any rights with respect to any invention other than a subject invention, except with respect to Background Patents, above.

 (n) Examination of records relating to inventions. 
 (1) The Contracting Officer or any authorized representative shall, until 3 years after final payment under this contract, have the right to examine any books (including laboratory notebooks), records,
and documents of the Contractor relating to the conception or first actual reduction to practice of inventions in the same field of technology as the work under this contract to determine whether— 

(i) Any such inventions are subject inventions; 
 (ii) The Contractor has established and maintains the procedures required by paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(5) of this clause; and 
 (iii) The Contractor and its inventor have complied with the procedures. 
 (2) If
the Contracting Officer determines that an inventor has not disclosed a subject invention to the Contractor in accordance with the procedures required by paragraph (f)(5) of this clause, the Contracting Officer may, within 60 days after the
determination, request title in accordance with paragraphs (d)(2) and (d)(3) of this clause. However, if the 

 
Contractor establishes that the failure to disclose did not result from the Contractor’s fault or negligence, the Contracting Officer shall not request title. 

(3) If the Contracting Officer learns of an unreported Contractor invention which the Contracting Officer believes may be a subject
invention, the Contractor may be required to disclose the invention to DOE for a determination of ownership rights. 
 (4) Any
examination of records under this paragraph shall be conducted in such a manner as to protect the confidentiality of the information involved. 

(o) Withholding of payment. 
 NOTE: This
paragraph does not apply to subcontracts or grants. 
 (1) Any time before final payment under this contract, the Contracting
Officer may, in the Government’s interest, withhold payment until a reserve not exceeding $50,000 or 5 percent of the amount of the contract, whichever is less, shall have been set aside if, in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, the
Contractor fails to— 
 (i) Establish, maintain, and follow effective procedures for identifying and disclosing subject
inventions pursuant to paragraph (f)(5) of this clause; 
 (ii) Disclose any subject invention pursuant to paragraph (c)(1)
of this clause; 
 (iii) Deliver acceptable interim reports pursuant to paragraph (f)(7)(I) of this clause; 

(iv) Provide the information regarding subcontracts pursuant to paragraph (f)(6) of this clause; or 

(v) Convey to the Government, using a DOE-approved form, the title and/or rights of the Government in each subject invention as
required by this clause. 
 (2) Such reserve or balance shall be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that the
Contractor has rectified whatever deficiencies exist and has delivered all reports, disclosures, and other information required by this clause. 
 (3) Final payment under this contract shall not be made before the Contractor delivers to the Patent Counsel all disclosures of subject inventions required by paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, an
acceptable final report pursuant to paragraph (f)(7)(ii) of this clause, and all past due confirmatory instruments, and the Patent Counsel has issued a patent clearance certification to the Contracting Officer. 

(4) The Contracting Officer may decrease or increase the sums withheld up to the maximum authorized above. If the maximum amount
authorized above is already being withheld under other provisions of the contract, no additional amount shall be withheld under this paragraph. The withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Government right. 
 (p) Waiver Terminations. 
 Any waiver granted to the Contractor authorizing the use of this clause (including any retention of rights pursuant thereto by the Contractor under paragraph (b) of this clause) may be terminated at
the discretion of the Secretary or his designee in whole or in part, if the request for waiver by the Contractor is found to contain false material statements or nondisclosure of material facts, and such were specifically relied upon by DOE in
reaching the waiver determination. Prior to any such termination, the Contractor will be given written notice stating the extent of such proposed termination and the reasons therefor, and a period of 30 days, or such longer period as the Secretary
or his designee shall determine for good cause shown in writing, to show cause why the waiver of rights should not be so terminated. Any waiver termination shall be subject to the Contractor’s minimum license as provided in paragraph
(e) of this clause. 
 (q) Atomic Energy. 
 No claim for pecuniary award or compensation under the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, shall be asserted by the Contractor or its employees with respect to any invention or
discovery made or conceived in the course of or under this contract. 
 (r) Publication. 

 It is recognized that during the course of work under this contract, the contractor or its
employees may from time to time desire to release or publish information regarding scientific or technical developments conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the course of or under this contract. In order that public disclosure of such
information will not adversely affect the patent interests of DOE or the contractor, approval for release of publication shall be secured from Patent Counsel prior to any such release or publication. In appropriate circumstances, and after
consultation with the contractor, Patent Counsel may waive the right of prepublication review. 
 (s) Forfeiture of rights in unreported subject
inventions. 
 (1) The contractor shall forfeit and assign to the Government, at the request of the Secretary of Energy or
designee, all rights in any subject invention which the contractor fails to report to Patent Counsel within six months after the time the contractor: 
 (i) Files or causes to be filed a United States or foreign patent application thereon; or 
 (ii) Submits the final report required by paragraph (f)(7)(ii) of this clause, whichever is later. 
 (2) However, the Contractor shall not forfeit rights in a subject invention if, within the time specified in paragraph (n)(1) of this clause, the contractor: 

(i) Prepares a written decision based upon a review of the record that the invention was neither conceived nor first actually reduced
to practice in the course of or under the contract and delivers the decision to Patent Counsel, with a copy to the Contracting Officer; or 
 (ii) Contending that the subject invention is not a subject invention, the contractor nevertheless discloses the subject invention and all facts pertinent to this contention to the Patent Counsel,
with a copy to the Contracting Officer, or 
 (iii) Establishes that the failure to disclose did not result from the
contractor’s fault or negligence. 
 (3) Pending written assignment of the patent application and patents on a subject
invention determined by the Contracting Officer to be forfeited (such determination to be a Final Decision under the Disputes clause of this contract), the contractor shall be deemed to hold the invention and the patent applications and patents
pertaining thereto in trust for the Government. The forfeiture provision of this paragraph shall be in addition to and shall not supersede any other rights and remedies which the Government may have with respect to subject inventions. 

(t) U. S. Competitiveness 
 The
Contractor agrees that any products embodying any waived invention or produced through the use of any waived invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States unless the Contractor can show to the satisfaction of the DOE that it is
not commercially feasible to do so. In the event the DOE agrees to foreign manufacture, there will be a requirement that the Government’s support of the technology be recognized in some appropriate manner, e.g., recoupment of the
Government’s investment, etc. The Contractor agrees that it will not license, assign or otherwise transfer any waived invention to any entity unless that entity agrees to these same requirements. Should the Contractor or other such entity
receiving rights in the invention undergo a change in ownership amounting to a controlling interest, then the waiver, assignment, license, or other transfer of rights in the waived invention is suspended until approved in writing by the DOE.

 03. FAR 52.227-23 Rights to Proposal Data (Technical) (JUN 1987) 
 Except for data contained in pages 4-46, 57-134 and 136-464, it is agreed that as a condition of award of this contract, and notwithstanding the conditions of any notice appearing thereon, the
Government shall have unlimited rights (as defined in the “Rights in Data–General” clause contained in this contract) in and to the technical data contained in the proposal dated May 19, 2009, upon which this contract is
based.

 Attachment 2 – Statement of Project Objectives – Amendment 001 

Statement of Project Objectives 
 April 2010 
 RECOVERY ACT - PROVIDING VEHICLE OEMS FLEXIBLE SCALE TO
ACCELERATE 
 ADOPTION OF ELECTRIC DRIVE VEHICLES 
 A. OBJECTIVES 
 The objective of the proposed work is to scale and commercialize the
Recipient’s electric motor technology to create a family of standard electric drive motors with United States based manufacturing capability. Utilizing the pre-existing technology base from the Recipient’s current portfolio of production
electric drive motors, fixed diameter motors with variable length options shall be generated to accommodate specific customer needs while maintaining commonality on specific product criteria. The Recipient shall work with electronics manufacturers
and vehicle integrators to optimize application specific motor formats and maximize efficiency. Customer application specific prototype motors shall be formulated, manufactured, validated and integrated into customer vehicle applications. Volume
production capabilities shall be installed in facilities in the United States. Production capacity shall be installed in 2 phases to assure market acceptance and mitigate volume and investment risk. The Recipient shall market motors to select
OEM’s manufacturing various vehicle applications including automotive, truck and bus. 
 The motors used to drive electric vehicles are
alternating current (AC) motors and the power source is typically from batteries, a direct current (DC) source. Therefore, inverters which convert the electrical power from DC to variable speed AC need to be designed to run the motors. Motors and
inverters can be developed independent of each other up to the point of the final software programming or configuration of the inverter to match the motor characteristics. The motor project shall be done in collaboration with the inverter project,
and the Recipient shall work with an inverter manufacturer to have prototype and production inverters available at the same time as the motors. 

B. SCOPE OF WORK 
 The project scope
shall focus on the following two phases. Each phase shall follow a similar project path with regards to the tasks; the phases shall occur concurrently. 
 Motor Production 
 Customer application specific motor modifications and preliminary
electrical performance characterization shall be completed for each diameter and style motor based upon customer surveys on electric motor performance and size requirements. Physical parts shall be constructed for initial customer application
validation testing to confirm the expected motor performance. Once confirmed, including any necessary design revisions, prototype motors shall be constructed from production intent designs utilizing low-volume manufacturing processes. These parts
shall complete the initial customer application validation, and they shall be provided to customers for vehicle integration. Upon successful completion of application validation and customer confirmation, production manufacturing processes shall be
installed in a current facility located within the continental United States. 

  
 1 of 13

 DE-EE0002023 
 Attachment 2 – Statement of Project Objectives – Amendment 001 
  

 The Recipient shall market motors to its current North American customers as well as other potential
OEM’s. Based on customer input, the Recipient shall apply its standard size motors to specific vehicle applications working with electronics manufacturers and vehicle integrators. 
 Assuming positive market acceptance, additional diameter options and production capacity increase for previously launched products will drive a second phase of manufacturing capability requiring
relocation to a 75,000 square foot minimum manufacturing facility located within the continental United States. The second phase shall require that the “Tasks to be Performed” (as set forth below) are repeated; leading to the launch of the
new production facility. 
 Inverter Production 
 The inverters shall be commercialized and put in production at a location within the continental United States. The inverter sizes required shall match the motor performance required in the marketplace.
The motors and inverters are typically matched to various customer requirements such as peak power of the motor and available voltage of the DC source. Inverter commercialization shall follow the same typical steps as the motor commercialization
with the delivery of prototypes and production devices availability at the same time. The goal is to provide each respective customer with a matched set of motor and inverter drive systems.

the markings within the 30-day period (or a longer time not exceeding 90 days approved in writing by the Contracting Officer for good cause shown), the Government shall have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time after said period
and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions. 
 (iii) If the Recipient provides written
justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings within the period set in subdivision (e)(1)(i) of this clause, the Contracting Officer shall consider such written justification and determine whether or not the markings are to be
cancelled or ignored. If the Contracting Officer determines that the markings are authorized, the Recipient shall be so notified in writing. If the Contracting Officer determines, with concurrence of the head of the contracting activity, that the
markings are not authorized, the Contracting Officer shall furnish the Recipient a written determination, which determination shall become the final agency decision regarding the appropriateness of the markings unless the Recipient files suit in a
court of competent jurisdiction within 90 days of receipt of the Contracting Officer’s decision. The Government shall continue to abide by the markings under this subdivision (e)(1)(iii) until final resolution of the matter either by the
Contracting Officer’s determination become final (in which instance the Government shall thereafter have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions), or by
final disposition of the matter by court decision if suit is filed. 

 (2) The time limits in the procedures set forth in subparagraph (e)(1) of this clause may be

either the limited rights or restricted rights notice as authorized by paragraph (g) of this clause, or the copyright notice required by paragraph (c) of this clause, shall be deemed to have been furnished with unlimited rights, and the
Government assumes no liability for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of such data. However, to the extent the data has not been disclosed without restriction outside the Government, the Recipient may request, within 6 months (or a longer time
approved by the Contracting Officer for good cause shown) after delivery of such data, permission to have notices placed on qualifying data at the Recipient’s expense, and the Contracting Officer may agree to do so if the Recipient—

 (i) Identifies the data to which the omitted notice is to be applied; 

(ii) Demonstrates that the omission of the notice was inadvertent; 

(iii) Establishes that the use of the proposed notice is authorized; and 

(iv) Acknowledges that the Government has no liability with respect to the disclosure, use, or reproduction of any such data made prior
to the addition of the notice or resulting from the omission of the notice. 
 (2) The Contracting Officer may also: 

(i) Permit correction at the Recipient’s expense of incorrect notices if the Recipient identifies the data on which correction of
the notice is to be made, and demonstrates that the correct notice is authorized; or 
 (ii) Correct any incorrect notices.

 (g) Rights to Protected Data 
 (1)
The Recipient may, with the concurrence of DOE, claim and mark as protected data, any data first produced in the performance of this award that would have been treated as a trade secret if developed at private expense. Any such claimed
“protected data” will be clearly marked with the following Protected Rights Notice, and will be treated in accordance with such Notice, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f) of this clause. 

PROTECTED RIGHTS NOTICE 
 These protected data
were produced under agreement no. DE-EE0002023 with the U.S. Department of Energy and may not be published, disseminated, or disclosed to others outside the Government until five (5) years from date the data was generated, unless express
written authorization is obtained from the recipient. Upon expiration of the period of protection set forth in this Notice, the Government shall have unlimited rights in this data. This Notice shall be marked on any reproduction of this data, in
whole or in part. 
 (End of notice). 
 (2) Any such marked Protected Data may be disclosed under obligations of confidentiality for the following purposes: 
 (a) For evaluation purposes under the restriction that the “Protected Data” be retained in confidence and not be further disclosed; or 

(b) To subcontractors or other team members performing work under the Government’s Vehicle Technologies program 

(3) The obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on publication and dissemination shall end for any Protected Data. 

(a) At the end of the protected period; 
 (b) If the data becomes publicly known or available from other sources without a breach of the obligation of confidentiality with respect to the Protected Data; 

(c) If the same data is independently developed by someone who did not have access to the Protected Data and such data is made available
without obligations of confidentiality; or 
 (d) If the Recipient disseminates or authorizes another to disseminate such data
without obligations of confidentiality. 
 (4) However, the Recipient agrees that the following types of data are not considered
to be protected and shall be provided to the Government when required by this award without any claim that the data are Protected Data. The parties agree that notwithstanding the following lists of types of data, nothing precludes the Government
from seeking delivery of 

 
additional data in accordance with this award, or from making publicly available additional nonprotected data, nor does the following list constitute any admission by the Government that
technical data not on the list is Protected Data. 
 List of nonprotected data: “Information as defined in the Reporting
Requirements Checklist, specifically, within the Final Progress Report.” 
 (5) The Government’s sole obligation
with respect to any protected data shall be as set forth in this paragraph (g). 
 (h) Protection of Limited Rights Data 

When data other than that listed in subparagraphs (b)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this clause are specified to be delivered under this
agreement and such data qualify as either limited rights data or restricted computer software, the Recipient, if the Recipient desires to continue protection of such data, shall withhold such data and not furnish them to the Government under this
agreement. As a condition to this withholding the Recipient shall identify the data being withheld and furnish form, fit, and function data in lieu thereof. 
 (i) Subaward/Contract 
 The Recipient has the responsibility to obtain from its
subrecipients/contractors all data and rights therein necessary to fulfill the Recipient’s obligations to the Government under this agreement. If a subrecipient/contractor refuses to accept terms affording the Government such rights, the
Recipient shall promptly bring such refusal to the attention of the Contracting Officer and not proceed with subaward/contract award without further authorization. 
 (j) Additional Data Requirements 
  

	 	(i)	In addition to the data specified elsewhere in this agreement to be delivered, the Contracting Officer may, at anytime during agreement performance or within a period
of 3 years after acceptance of all items to be delivered under this agreement, order any data first produced or specifically used in the performance of this agreement. This clause is applicable to all data ordered under this subparagraph. Nothing
contained in this subparagraph shall require the Recipient to deliver any data the withholding of which is authorized by this clause or data which are specifically identified in this agreement as not subject to this clause. When data are to be
delivered under this subparagraph, the Recipient will be compensated for converting the data into the prescribed form, for reproduction, and for delivery. 

 The following data will not be subject to being ordered under the Rights in Data - Programs Covered under Special Data Statutes (OCT 2003), paragraph (j) Additional Data Requirements:

 - Detailed data related to proprietary or competition sensitive manufacturing line designs, manufacturing
equipment design or fabrication techniques, manufacturing processes, and end item design or fabrication techniques. 
  

	 	(ii)	DOE shall be permitted to call for the delivery of the data listed in (i) above only in the following circumstances: 

(1) To defend litigation brought against the government, including patent infringement, environmental and tort claims; 

(2) To pursue litigation brought by the government against Grantee or one of Grantee’s team members or subcontractors growing out
of work performed under this Grant; 
 (3) In the event the Government requires the information for investigations of
fraud, mischarging, or similar charges against Recipient or one of its team members or subcontractors; or 
 (4) In the
event of a catastrophic occurrence at the facility such as an explosion, accident or hazardous material release, where the Government requires the information to conduct an analysis of the occurrence. 

	 	(iii)	DOE shall have the right to inspect the data listed in (i) above at any time. 

 (k) The Recipient agrees, except as may be otherwise specified in this agreement for specific data items listed as not subject to this paragraph, that the Contracting Officer or an authorized
representative may, up to three years after acceptance of all items to be delivered under this contract, inspect at the Recipient’s facility any data withheld pursuant to paragraph (h) of this clause, for purposes of verifying the
Recipient’s assertion pertaining to the limited rights or restricted rights status of the data or for evaluating work performance. Where the Recipient whose data are to be inspected demonstrates to the Contracting Officer that there would be a
possible conflict of interest if the inspection were made by a particular representative, the Contracting Officer shall designate an alternate inspector. 
 02. Patent Rights – Waiver (JUL 1996), as modified by 10 C.F.R. 784, DOE Patent Waiver Regulations 
 (a) Definitions. 
 As used in this clause: 

Background patent means a domestic patent covering an invention or discovery which is not a Subject Invention and which is owned
or controlled by the Contractor at any time through the completion of this contract: 
 (i) Which the
Contractor, but not the Government, has the right to license to others without obligation to pay royalties thereon, and 
 (ii) Infringement of which cannot reasonably be avoided upon the practice of any specific process, method, machine, manufacture or composition of matter (including relatively minor modifications
thereof) which is a subject of the research, development, or demonstration work performed under this contract. 

Contract means any contract, grant, agreement, understanding, or other arrangement, which includes research, development, or
demonstration work, and includes any assignment or substitution of parties. 
 DOE patent waiver regulations means the

 Invention as used in this clause, means any
invention or discovery which is or may be patentable or otherwise protectable under Title 35 of the United States Code or any novel variety of plant that is or may be protectable under the Plant Variety Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 2321 et
seq.). 
 Made when used in relation to any invention means the conception or first actual reduction to practice
of such invention. 
 Nonprofit organization means a university or other institution of higher education or an
organization of the type described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C. 501(c)) and exempt from taxation under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 501(a)) or any nonprofit scientific or educational
organization qualified under a state nonprofit organization statute. 
 Patent Counsel means the Department of Energy
Patent Counsel assisting the procuring activity. 
 Practical application means to manufacture, in the case of a
composition or product; to practice, in the case of a process or method; or to operate, in the case of a machine or system; and, in each case, under such conditions as to establish that the invention is being utilized and that its benefits are, to
the extent permitted by law or Government regulations, available to the public on reasonable terms. 
 Secretary means
the Secretary of Energy. 
 Small business firm means a small business concern as defined at Section 2 of the Pub.
L. 85-536 (15 U.S.C. 632) and implementing regulations of the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. For the purpose of this clause, the size standards for small business concerns involved in Government procurement and subcontracting at
13 CFR 121.3-8 and 13 CFR 121.3-12, respectively, will be used. 

 Subject invention means any invention of the Contractor conceived or first actually
reduced to practice in the course of or under this contract, provided that in the case of a variety of plant, the date of determination (as defined in section 41(d) of the Plant Variety Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 2401(d)) must also occur during the
period of contract performance. 
 (b) Allocation of principal rights. 
 Whereas DOE has granted a waiver of rights to subject inventions to the Contractor, the Contractor may elect to retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to each subject invention
subject to the provisions of this clause and 35 U.S.C. “202 and 203. With respect to any subject invention in which the Contractor elects to retain title, the Federal Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up
license to practice or have practiced for or on behalf of the United States the subject invention throughout the world. 
 (c) Invention
disclosure, election of title, and filing of patent applications by Contractor. 
 (1) The Contractor shall disclose each
subject invention to the Patent Counsel within six months after conception or first actual reduction to practice, whichever occurs first in the course of or under this contract, but in any event, prior to any sale, public use, or public disclosure
of such invention known to the Contractor. The disclosure to the Patent Counsel shall be in the form of a written report and shall identify the inventors and the contract under which the invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in
technical detail to convey a clear understanding, to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the nature, purpose, operation, and physical, chemical, biological, or electrical characteristics of the invention. The disclosure shall also
identify any publication, on sale, or public use of the invention and whether a manuscript describing the invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication at the time of disclosure. In addition,
after disclosure to the Patent Counsel, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Patent Counsel of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the invention for publication or of any on sale or public use planned by the Contractor. 

(2) The Contractor shall elect in writing whether or not to retain title to any such invention by notifying the Patent Counsel at the
time of disclosure or within 8 months of disclosure, as to those countries (including the United States) in which the Contractor will retain title; provided, that in any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year
statutory period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period of election of title may be shortened by the Agency to a date that is no more than 60 days prior to the end of the statutory period. The
Contractor shall notify the Patent Counsel as to those countries (including the United States) in which the Contractor will retain title not later than 60 days prior to the end of the statutory period. 

(3) The Contractor shall file its United States patent application on an elected invention within 1 year after election, but not later
than at least 60 days prior to the end of any statutory period wherein valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States after a publication, on sale, or public use. The Contractor shall file patent applications in additional countries
(including the European Patent Office and under the Patent Cooperation Treaty) within either 10 months of the corresponding initial patent application or 6 months from the date permission is granted by the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks to
file foreign patent applications where foreign filing has been prohibited by a Secrecy Order. 
 (4) Requests for extension of
the time for disclosure to the Patent Counsel, election, and filing may, at the discretion of DOE, be granted, and will normally be granted unless the Patent Counsel has reason to believe that a particular extension would prejudice the
Government’s interest. 
 (d) Conditions when the Government may obtain title notwithstanding an existing waiver. 

The Contractor shall convey to DOE, upon written request, title to any subject invention— 

(1) If the Contractor elects not to retain title to a subject invention; 

(2) If the Contractor fails to disclose or elect the subject invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause
(provided that DOE may only request title within 60 days after learning of the Contractor’s failure to report or elect within the specified times); 
 (3) In those countries in which the Contractor fails to file patent applications within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause; provided, however, that if the Contractor has filed a
patent application in a country after the times 

 
specified in paragraph (c) of this clause, but prior to its receipt of the written request of DOE, the Contractor shall continue to retain title in that country; 

(4) In any country in which the Contractor decides not to continue the prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance fees
on, or defend in reexamination or opposition proceeding on, a patent on a subject invention; or 
 (5) If the waiver authorizing
the use of this clause is terminated as provided in paragraph (p) of this clause. 
 (e) Minimum rights to Contractor when the Government
retains title. 
 (1) The Contractor shall retain a nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each subject
invention to which the Government obtains title under paragraph (d) of this clause except if the Contractor fails to disclose the subject invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause. The Contractor’s license
extends to its domestic subsidiaries and affiliates, if any, within the corporate structure of which the Contractor is a part and includes the right to grant sublicenses of the same scope to the extent the Contractor was legally obligated to do so
at the time the contract was awarded. The license is transferable only with the approval of DOE except when transferred to the successor of that part of the Contractor’s business to which the invention pertains. 

(2) The Contractor’s domestic license may be revoked or modified by DOE to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical
application of the subject invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive license submitted in accordance with applicable provisions in 37 CFR part 404 and DOE licensing regulations. This license shall not be revoked in that field of use or
the geographical areas in which the Contractor has achieved practical application and continues to make the benefits of the invention reasonably accessible to the public. The license in any foreign country may be revoked or modified at the
discretion of DOE to the extent the Contractor, its licensees, or its domestic subsidiaries or affiliates have failed to achieve practical application in that foreign country. 
 (3) Before revocation or modification of the license, DOE shall furnish the Contractor a written notice of its intention to revoke or modify the license, and the Contractor shall be allowed 30 days (or
such other time as may be authorized by DOE for good cause shown by the Contractor) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified. The Contractor has the right to appeal, in accordance with applicable agency
licensing regulations and 37 CFR part 404 concerning the licensing of Government-owned inventions, any decision concerning the revocation or modification of its license. 
 (f) Contractor action to protect the Government’s interest. 
 (1) The
Contractor agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly deliver to DOE all instruments necessary to: 
 (i)
establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those subject inventions to which the Contractor elects to retain title, and 
 (ii) convey title to DOE when requested under paragraphs (d) and (n)(2) of this clause, and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection throughout the world in that subject invention.

 (2) The Contractor agrees to require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and nontechnical employees, to
disclose promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in a format suggested by the Contractor each subject invention made under contract in order that the Contractor can comply with the
disclosure provisions of paragraph (c) of this clause, and to execute all papers necessary to file patent applications on subject inventions and to establish the Government’s rights in the subject inventions. This disclosure format should
require, as a minimum, the information required by paragraph (c)(1) of this clause. The Contractor shall instruct such employees through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs on the importance of reporting inventions in
sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars. 
 (3) The Contractor shall
notify DOE of any decision not to continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceeding on a patent, in any country, not less than 30 days before the expiration of the response
period required by the relevant patent office. 

 (4) The Contractor agrees to include, within the specification of any United States patent
application and any patent issuing thereon covering a subject invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with Government support under (identify the contract) awarded by DOE. The Government has certain rights in this
invention.” 
 (5) The Contractor shall establish and maintain active and effective procedures to assure that subject
inventions are promptly identified and disclosed to Contractor personnel responsible for patent matters within 6 months of conception and/or first actual reduction to practice, whichever occurs first in the course of or under this contract. These
procedures shall include the maintenance of laboratory notebooks or equivalent records and other records as are reasonably necessary to document the conception and/or the first actual reduction to practice of subject inventions, and records that
show that the procedures for identifying and disclosing the inventions are followed. Upon request, the Contractor shall furnish the Patent Counsel a description of such procedures for evaluation and for determination as to their effectiveness.

 (6) The Contractor agrees, when licensing a subject invention, to arrange to avoid royalty charges on acquisitions involving
Government funds, including funds derived through Military Assistance Program of the Government or otherwise derived through the Government; to refund any amounts received as royalty charges on the subject invention in acquisitions for, or on behalf
of, the Government; and to provide for such refund in any instrument transferring rights in the invention to any party. 
 (7)
The Contractor shall furnish the Patent Counsel the following: 
 (i) Interim reports every 12 months (or such
longer period as may be specified by the Patent Counsel) from the date of the contract, listing subject inventions during that period and stating that all subject inventions have been disclosed or that there are no such inventions. 

(ii) A final report, within 3 months after completion of the contracted work, listing all subject inventions or stating
that there were no such inventions, and listing all subcontracts at any tier containing a patent rights clause or certifying that there were no such subcontracts. 
 (8) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Patent Counsel in writing upon the award of any subcontract at any tier containing a patent rights clause by identifying the subcontractor, the applicable
patent rights clause, the work to be performed under the subcontract, and the dates of award and estimated completion. Upon request of the Patent Counsel, the Contractor shall furnish a copy of such subcontract, and no more frequently than annually,
a listing of the subcontracts that have been awarded. 
 (9) The Contractor shall provide, upon request, the filing date, serial
number and title, a copy of the patent application (including an English-language version if filed in a language other than English), and patent number and issue date for any subject invention for which the Contractor has retained title. 

(10)Upon request, the Contractor shall furnish the Government an irrevocable power to inspect and make copies of the patent application
file. 
 (g) Subcontracts. 
 (1) Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall include the clause at 48 CFR 952.227-11, suitably modified to identify the parties, in all subcontracts, regardless of tier,
for experimental, developmental, or research work to be performed by a small business firm or nonprofit organization, except where the work of the subcontract is subject to an Exceptional Circumstances Determination by DOE. In all other
subcontracts, regardless of tier, for experimental, developmental, demonstration, or research work, the Contractor shall include the patent rights clause at 48 CFR 952.227-13 (suitably modified to identify the parties). 

(2) The Contractor shall not, as part of the consideration for awarding the subcontract, obtain rights in the subcontractor’s
subject inventions. 
 (3) In the case of subcontractors at any tier, the Department, the subcontractor, and Contractor agree
that the mutual obligations of the parties created by this clause constitute a contract between the subcontractor and the Department with respect to those matters covered by this clause. 

 (4) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing upon the award
of any subcontract at any tier containing a patent rights clause by identifying the subcontractor, the applicable patent rights clause, the work to be performed under the subcontract, and the dates of award and estimated completion. Upon request of
the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer shall furnish a copy of such subcontract, and, no more frequently than annually, a listing of the subcontracts that have been awarded. 
 (h) Reporting on utilization of subject inventions. 
 The Contractor agrees to
submit on request periodic reports no more frequently than annually on the utilization of a subject invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that are being made by the Contractor and any of its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall
include information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or use, gross royalties received by the Contractor, and such other data and information as DOE may reasonably specify. The Contractor also agrees to provide
additional reports as may be requested by DOE in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by DOE in accordance with paragraph (j) of this clause. To the extent data or information supplied under this paragraph is considered by the
Contractor, its licensee or assignee to be privileged and confidential and is so marked, DOE agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, it shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government. 

(i) Preference for United States industry. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, the Contractor agrees that neither it nor any assignee will grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United
States unless such person agrees that any products embodying the subject invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States. However, in individual cases, the requirement for such an agreement may be waived by DOE upon a showing by
the Contractor or its assignee that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or that under the circumstances
domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible. 
 (j) March-in rights. 

The Contractor agrees that with respect to any subject invention in which it has acquired title, DOE has the right in accordance with the
procedures in 48 CFR 27.304-1(g) to require the Contractor, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a subject invention to grant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive license in any field of use to a responsible applicant or applicants,
upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if the Contractor, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, DOE has the right to grant such a license itself if DOE determines that— 

(1) Such action is necessary because the Contractor or assignee has not taken, or is not expected to take within a reasonable time,
effective steps to achieve practical application of the subject invention in such field of use; 
 (2) Such action is necessary
to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the Contractor, assignee, or their licensees; 
 (3)
Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by Federal regulations and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the Contractor, assignee, or licensees; or 

(4) Such action is necessary because the agreement required by paragraph (i) of this clause has not been obtained or waived or
because a licensee of the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States is in breach of such agreement. 
 (k)
Background Patents [reserved] 
 (l) Communications. 
 All reports and notifications required by this clause shall be submitted to the Patent Counsel unless otherwise instructed. 
 (m) Other inventions. 

 Nothing contained in this clause shall be deemed to grant to the Government any rights with
respect to any invention other than a subject invention, except with respect to Background Patents, above. 
 (n) Examination of records
relating to inventions. 
 (1) The Contracting Officer or any authorized representative shall, until 3 years after final payment
under this contract, have the right to examine any books (including laboratory notebooks), records, and documents of the Contractor relating to the conception or first actual reduction to practice of inventions in the same field of technology as the
work under this contract to determine whether— 
 (i) Any such inventions are subject inventions;

 (ii) The Contractor has established and maintains the procedures required by paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(5) of
this clause; and 
 (iii) The Contractor and its inventor have complied with the procedures. 

(2) If the Contracting Officer determines that an inventor has not disclosed a subject invention to the Contractor in accordance with the
procedures required by paragraph (f)(5) of this clause, the Contracting Officer may, within 60 days after the determination, request title in accordance with paragraphs (d)(2) and (d)(3) of this clause. However, if the Contractor establishes that
the failure to disclose did not result from the Contractor’s fault or negligence, the Contracting Officer shall not request title. 
 (3) If the Contracting Officer learns of an unreported Contractor invention which the Contracting Officer believes may be a subject invention, the Contractor may be required to disclose the invention to
DOE for a determination of ownership rights. 
 (4) Any examination of records under this paragraph shall be conducted in such a
manner as to protect the confidentiality of the information involved. 
 (o) Withholding of payment. 

NOTE: This paragraph does not apply to subcontracts or grants. 
 (1) Any time before final payment under this contract, the Contracting Officer may, in the Government’s interest, withhold payment until a reserve not exceeding $50,000 or 5 percent of the amount of
the contract, whichever is less, shall have been set aside if, in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, the Contractor fails to— 
 (i) Establish, maintain, and follow effective procedures for identifying and disclosing subject inventions pursuant to paragraph (f)(5) of this clause; 

(ii) Disclose any subject invention pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this clause; 

(iii) Deliver acceptable interim reports pursuant to paragraph (f)(7)(I) of this clause; 

(iv) Provide the information regarding subcontracts pursuant to paragraph (f)(6) of this clause; or 

(v) Convey to the Government, using a DOE-approved form, the title and/or rights of the Government in each subject invention as required
by this clause. 
 (2) Such reserve or balance shall be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that the
Contractor has rectified whatever deficiencies exist and has delivered all reports, disclosures, and other information required by this clause. 
 (3) Final payment under this contract shall not be made before the Contractor delivers to the Patent Counsel all disclosures of subject inventions required by paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, an
acceptable final report pursuant to paragraph (f)(7)(ii) of this clause, and all past due confirmatory instruments, and the Patent Counsel has issued a patent clearance certification to the Contracting Officer. 

(4) The Contracting Officer may decrease or increase the sums withheld up to the maximum authorized above. If the maximum amount
authorized above is already being withheld under other provisions of the contract, no additional amount 

 
shall be withheld under this paragraph. The withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any Government right. 

(p) Waiver Terminations. 
 Any
waiver granted to the Contractor authorizing the use of this clause (including any retention of rights pursuant thereto by the Contractor under paragraph (b) of this clause) may be terminated at the discretion of the Secretary or his designee
in whole or in part, if the request for waiver by the Contractor is found to contain false material statements or nondisclosure of material facts, and such were specifically relied upon by DOE in reaching the waiver determination. Prior to any such
termination, the Contractor will be given written notice stating the extent of such proposed termination and the reasons therefor, and a period of 30 days, or such longer period as the Secretary or his designee shall determine for good cause shown
in writing, to show cause why the waiver of rights should not be so terminated. Any waiver termination shall be subject to the Contractor’s minimum license as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause. 

(q) Atomic Energy. 
 No claim
for pecuniary award or compensation under the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, shall be asserted by the Contractor or its employees with respect to any invention or discovery made or conceived in the course of or under this
contract. 
 (r) Publication. 
 It is recognized that during the course of work under this contract, the contractor or its employees may from time to time desire to release or publish information regarding scientific or technical
developments conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the course of or under this contract. In order that public disclosure of such information will not adversely affect the patent interests of DOE or the contractor, approval for release
of publication shall be secured from Patent Counsel prior to any such release or publication. In appropriate circumstances, and after consultation with the contractor, Patent Counsel may waive the right of prepublication review. 

(s) Forfeiture of rights in unreported subject inventions. 
 (1) The contractor shall forfeit and assign to the Government, at the request of the Secretary of Energy or designee, all rights in any subject invention which the contractor fails to report to Patent
Counsel within six months after the time the contractor: 
 (i) Files or causes to be filed a United States or
foreign patent application thereon; or 
 (ii) Submits the final report required by paragraph (f)(7)(ii) of this
clause, whichever is later. 
 (2) However, the Contractor shall not forfeit rights in a subject invention if, within the time
specified in paragraph (n)(1) of this clause, the contractor: 
 (i) Prepares a written decision based upon a
review of the record that the invention was neither conceived nor first actually reduced to practice in the course of or under the contract and delivers the decision to Patent Counsel, with a copy to the Contracting Officer; or 

(ii) Contending that the subject invention is not a subject invention, the contractor nevertheless discloses the subject
invention and all facts pertinent to this contention to the Patent Counsel, with a copy to the Contracting Officer, or 
 (iii) Establishes that the failure to disclose did not result from the contractor’s fault or negligence. 
 (3) Pending written assignment of the patent application and patents on a subject invention determined by the Contracting Officer to be forfeited (such determination to be a Final Decision under the
Disputes clause of this contract), the contractor shall be deemed to hold the invention and the patent applications and patents pertaining thereto in trust for the Government. The forfeiture provision of this paragraph shall be in addition to and
shall not supersede any other rights and remedies which the Government may have with respect to subject inventions. 
 (t) U. S. Competitiveness

 The Contractor agrees that any products embodying any waived invention or produced through the use of any waived invention
will be manufactured substantially in the United States unless the Contractor can show to the satisfaction of the 

 
DOE that it is not commercially feasible to do so. In the event the DOE agrees to foreign manufacture, there will be a requirement that the Government’s support of the technology be
recognized in some appropriate manner, e.g., recoupment of the Government’s investment, etc. The Contractor agrees that it will not license, assign or otherwise transfer any waived invention to any entity unless that entity agrees to these same
requirements. Should the Contractor or other such entity receiving rights in the invention undergo a change in ownership amounting to a controlling interest, then the waiver, assignment, license, or other transfer of rights in the waived invention
is suspended until approved in writing by the DOE. 
 03. FAR 52.227-23 Rights to Proposal Data (Technical) (JUN 1987) 

Except for data contained in pages 4-46, 57-134 and 136-464, it is agreed that as a condition of award of this contract, and notwithstanding the
conditions of any notice appearing thereon, the Government shall have unlimited rights (as defined in the “Rights in Data—General” clause contained in this contract) in and to the technical data contained in the proposal dated
May 19, 2009, upon which this contract is based.

 Amendment 003 
 Remy, Inc. 

Page 3 of 4 
  

 The purpose of this Amendment is to incorporate the provision “Real Property and Equipment”
into Grant Number DE-EE0002023. Accordingly, the following changes are hereby made:
 The provision “PROPERTY”,
contained in the SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE IN MOST COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS – AMENDMENT 001, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following provision:

“REAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 Real property and equipment acquired by the Recipient shall be subject to the rules set forth in 10 CFR 600. The Recipient shall utilize appropriate notices to indicate that property has been
acquired, in part, with Federal funds. 
 As provided in 10 CFR 600.321(b)(2), DOE hereby acknowledges, agrees to and
approves of the encumbrance of the property in favor of the interest of Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent for the lenders (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”) under each of the Credit Agreements (as hereafter
defined) as part of the all assets security interest granted in connection with the (i) Amended and Restated Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession and Exit Revolver Credit Agreement (“Revolver Credit Agreement”),
dated as of December 5, 2007, by and among Recipient and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders signatory thereto from time to time and Administrative Agent; (ii) Amended and Restated Senior Secured, Super-Priority
Debtor-in-Possession and Exit First Lien Credit Agreement (“First Lien Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 5, 2007, by and among Recipient and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders signatory thereto from time to time
and Administrative Agent; and (iii) Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement ”), dated as of December 5, 2007, by and among Recipient and certain of its subsidiaries, the
lenders signatory thereto from time to time and Administrative Agent (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”, and together with the Revolver Credit Agreement and the First Lien Credit Agreement, referred to as the “Credit
Agreements”). 
 Recipient certifies that Remy, Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates are in compliance with the
terms of the Credit Agreements. 
 This DOE approval of the encumbrance of the property in favor of Administrative Agent is
subject to the condition that Administrative Agent may exercise its senior security interest, which gives Administrative Agent priority over the Federal interest in the property, in the following circumstances:

(a) If Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries has defaulted under the terms of any Credit Agreement and the Administrative Agent has
either (i) terminated any Credit Agreement or (ii) declared any portion of the loans under any Credit Agreement to be due and payable, or

 DE-EE0002023 
 Amendment 003 
 Remy, Inc. 

Page 4 of 4 
  

 (b) If Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries has filed a voluntary petition for
bankruptcy, an involuntary action has been filed against Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, or any other insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, readjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation or
other similar proceeding relating Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries has been filed or undertaken, or 
 (c) Upon any payment
or distribution of the assets of Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries to creditors pursuant to a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or its property. 
 With the exception of the
approval of the senior security interest established by the Credit Agreements and the related security agreements set forth herein, Recipient shall not further encumber the property without the prior written approval of the contracting officer, and
all of the DOE rights in property acquired by Recipient and disposition of such property are as set forth in the Property provisions of this Grant and 10 CFR 600.321. 
 DOE agrees that, consistent with the goals and objectives of this project, the Recipient may continue to use Recipient acquired property beyond the Period of Performance, without obligation, during the
period of such use, to extinguish DOE’s conditional title to such property as described in 10 CFR 600.321, subject to the following: (a) the Recipient continues to utilize such property for the objectives of the project as set forth in the
Statement of Project Objectives; (b) DOE retains the right to periodically ask for, and the Recipient agrees to provide, reasonable information concerning the use and condition of the property; and (c) the Recipient follows the property
disposition rules set forth in 
 10 CFR 600.321 if the property is no longer used by the Recipient for the objectives of the
project, and the fair market value of property exceeds $5,000. 
 Once the per unit fair market value of the property is less
than $5,000, pursuant to 10 CFR 600.321(f)(1)(i), DOE’s residual interest in the property shall be extinguished and Recipient shall have no further obligation to the DOE with respect to the property.” 

Except as contained herein, all other terms and conditions remain in full force and effect.

 The purpose of this Amendment is to revise the provision “REAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT”
previously incorporated into Grant Number DE-EE0002023 under Amendment 003. Accordingly, the following changes are hereby made:
 The provision “REAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following provision. This provision is revised as a result of the Recipient’s recent
refinancing. 
 “REAL PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 Real property and equipment acquired by the Recipient shall be subject to the rules set forth in 10 CFR 600. The Recipient shall utilize appropriate notices to indicate that property has been
acquired in part, with Federal funds. 
 As provided in 10 CFR 600.321(b)(2), DOE hereby acknowledges, agrees to and
approves of the encumbrance of the property in favor of (a) the interest of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as administrative agent (“WFCF”) for the lenders under the Credit Agreement (“Revolver
Credit Agreement”) dated as of December 17, 2010 by and among Recipient and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto from time to time and WFCF and (b) the interest of Bank of America, N.A.
as administrative agent (“BofA”) for the lenders under the Term B Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Credit Agreement” and together with the Revolver Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) dated as
of December 17, 2010 by and among Recipient and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto from time to time and BofA, with such encumbrance of the property being part of the assets subject to a security interest granted
in connection with each of the Credit Agreements. 
 Recipient certifies that Remy Inc. and its subsidiaries are in compliance
with the terms of the Credit Agreements. 
 The DOE approval of the encumbrance of the property in favor of WFCF and BofA is
subject to the condition that WFCF and BofA may exercise their senior security interest, which gives WFCF and BofA priority over the Federal interest in the property, in the following circumstances:

(a) If Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries has defaulted under the terms of either Credit Agreement and WFCF or BofA, as the case
may be, has either (i) terminated the respective Credit Agreement or (ii) declared any portion of the loans under the respective Credit Agreement to be due and payable, or

(b) If Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries has filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy, an involuntary action has been filed against
Remy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, or any other insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, readjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation or other similar proceeding relating Remy Inc. or any

Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or its property. 
 With the exception of the approval of the senior security interest
established by the Credit Agreements and the related security agreements set forth herein, Recipient shall not further encumber the property without the prior written approval of the contracting officer, and all of the DOE rights in

Recipient follows the property disposition rules set forth in
 10 CFR 600.321 if the property is no longer used by the Recipient
for the objectives of the project, and the fair market value of property exceeds $5,000. 
 Once the per unit fair market
value of the property is less than $5,000, pursuant to 10 CFR 600.321(f)(1)(i), DOE’s residual interest in the property shall be extinguished and Recipient shall have no further obligation to the DOE with respect to the
property.”
